Author's Note: Okay, I have been wanting to write an Alec fan fic since I started 'Never Say Alone' (a Supernatural Fan Fiction I wrote), but I hadn't seen 'Dark Angel' in so long I didn't know all the main points. So, I started reading other people's fan fics to get myself reintroduced to the characters of the show. Then I got Season 2 on DVD & got to know Alec all over again. But I still read some fan fics by other people. And a friend & I started to talk about story ideas. One story line that kept coming up (mostly in the fan fics, not with my friend & I) was the one where Alec & Max were really in love with each other & another was that Max was cheating on Logan with Alec (this one, my friend & I talked about, but nothing ever happened with that story). Now, I have never saw Alec with Max, but I decided to write my own story of what would happen with Alec if Max was cheating on Logan with him. So here it is. It was a short story divided into two parts, but after I had posted it on some boards, people started to tell me that they wanted to see more with Alec & Violet, I got to thinking what might happen after Part 2. So I have decided to continue on with MINE!. Each 'Part' is a 'Chapter' of the story. I hope you like it & I hope a stayed true to the characters as I possible could.

MINE!

Part 1

" Does she use you?"

Alec looked up from the papers he was going over to the young female that stood at the end of the table.

" Excuse me?" He asked as his eyebrow rose.

" Max," she said. " Does Max use you?"

Alec shook his head & gave her a slight frown. " Where did that come from?"

She shrugged her shoulders & started to look over her work once more. Alec glanced at her again, before busying himself with the paperwork of Terminal City. Yet, he found he couldn't help but glance once more at the normal that was helping him.

Her name was Violet Winters. She had long hair with curls, & the color wasn't something he could figure out. One moment it seemed dark, the next shining as the sun, it all depended on what light was hitting her & how she looked at the moment. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue, & when she got angry they were violet. She once told Alec that was how she got her name. Her father insisted her eyes would stay that color & so her parents named her after the color of her eyes. She had soft, pink lips that never seemed to form any other shape but a smile, which of course showed of her perfect white teeth. And she was fair skinned with not a single spot touching any part of skin that she showed off, which in Alec's own mind (along with a few other X5 males that met her), wasn't ever enough.

Pretty much without saying, she was the complete opposite of Max. She was soft where Max was hard. Kind where Max would come off b!tchy. She wore a blue jean jacket while Max went leather. And almost sugar sweet where Max was completely badass. Not that there anything wrong with either of them, they were who they were & dmn good at it too. But to Alec, Violet was a little too goodie-two-shoes for his taste.

" Do you love her?" Violet asked softly.

With a sigh, Alec put the paper down & looked over at her. " Since when is what goes on in my life something we discuss for a helpfully way to help TC?"

" When it involved two of the most important leaders of Terminal City," she replied simply.

" What have you heard, Vi?" Alec asked as he rubbed his eyes, figuring he was about to be yelled at for one of many mistakes.

" Just that you & Max are hooking up. Some say for release, others for more."

" And when did it come into that pretty little head of yours that she is using me?" he smiled his charming smile at her. " What makes you think it isn't the other way around or something else?"

Violet watched him for a moment. " They said she came to you when she was in heat & you tried to refuse. Something about morning regrets."

" You really shouldn't listen to idle TC gossip, Violet. It isn't always true."

Alec got up & stacking the papers together, obliviously done with the conversation. Violet got up & walked over to him, obliviously not finished with him.

" Alec… what are you doing?" she asked softly. " This isn't right & you know it. It isn't fair to any of you."

" Any of us?" he looked at her.

" You, Max, or Logan," she stated. " How do you think he'll feel if he founds out that Max & you are doing this?"

Alec looked at her & she stared back. Something from outside the room caught her eye & she looked out the window. There Max stood talking to Logan with a smile. Violet looked back at Alec, who was still watching.

'My mate,' he thought his inner voice whispered as he watched Max.

" She's not yours Alec, she's in love with Logan. And he loves her too," Violet whispered gently. " You can't keep doing this. One day he will find out & it's going to break his heart. And he will hate you both. You're a good friend to him, Alec… you can't do this to him."

Alec frowned & turned to look at her. " What is it that women see in this man? Logan Cale is not perfect, okay? So what if Max & I are having a little fun? There isn't any law against it is there?"

Shaking her head, she gently touched his arm. " No, there isn't. But there is a moral rule that is against it. One that makes you upset with yourself for letting this affair go on."

" And what do you know about it?" he said as he pulled away. " You don't know anything about this, Violet. So don't try to act like you do."

" I'm not trying to act like I do, Alec… I'm just trying to be your friend."

" Why do you even care?"

" Because…" here she hesitated.

" Spit it out, Violet."

" Because I don't want to see you get hurt, Alec," she looked up at him as she replied. " I've seen some of the other Transgenics mistake you for your brother Ben & I know it hurts you sometimes. Like when you get arrested for things he did & they don't believe that you're not him. And I know that what happened with Rachel still gets to you… & that you sometimes think you're nothing more then a cold blooded killer."

" How would you know all that?" He asked, his voice having a slight edge to it.

" Paying attention to what is going on. Other things you've told me yourself, probably not meaning too."

" If I told you, I'd know."

" Not two nights ago at Crash, when you were drinking a whole lot of scotch. I had to help you back here & get you into bed."

Alec remembered that night right away. She was right, he had told her pretty much everything… including about Max.

" I just don't want to see you hurt anymore, okay Alec?" she said softly. " That's the only reason I am bring this up."

" Don't worry about it Violet, I won't be hurt."

" Are you sure about that?"

" Look, what Max & I do… its… we're not exclusive, alright? She's in love with Logan & I… I just help her… from time to time." Alec said quietly.

" Do you love her?"

" Maybe…"

" Does she love you?"

" I think part of her does," he said with a nod.

Violet nodded slowly & then asked. " Do you wake up with her in your arms? Is she in the same bed as when you fell asleep? Or is she gone, no where to be found… until you see her talking to Logan again?"

Alec watched her for a moment & then she sighed.

" Listen, I have to get back to my place. I'll be back in a few days," she said as she gathered her things. " If you need to talk… about… whatever, you can stop by if you need to."

" Okay," he nodded & watched her go.

She closed the door behind her as he sat down. Part of him wanted to be upset at her for the things she said. The other part knew she was right. She rarely said anything bad about anything, so this whole conversation through him a little bit. But he got the message. He already knew it though. He rubbed his face as he sighed.

He paused to think about Violet for moment, pushing everything else from his mind. Did she really mean it when she said she didn't want him hurt? He thought about everything that happened to him since he met her & something shocking came to him. He could honestly say she went out of her way for him more then once. Like the time someone had let Rachel's name slip. He didn't know how she did it, but she found out the main points, then because he couldn't visit Rachel's grave, she took flowers over to it. When he found out, he flipped & hurried there before someone saw her & she got in trouble on his behalf. Instead, he found her speaking softly to Rachel's father. She gave him a flower, laying the rest on his daughter's grave, before she turned & left. Or the time she had brought a plate of home cooked food for him. Actually home cooked food, nothing heated in the microwave. She told him that while he was gone on business, he'd missed a BBQ TC had & she didn't think it was fair everyone got good cooked food, while he was busy working. So she had made him a plate of fried chicken, potato salad & green beans with biscuits. And those were just two of the many times she did something like that. And never once did she ask anything in return, she simple smiled when he said thank you.

The door to the office opened as Max & Logan walked in all in smiles.

" Hey Alec, how are things going?" Logan asked.

With a glance up, he saw in Max's eyes telling him not to be smart. He turned his gaze to Logan.

" Slow, but their going," He said as his usual charming self.

" That's good. Well I must go, I have to see if I can find someone to help get more food in here to you all."

" Thanks Logan," Max said with a smile.

He smiled back at her & shook his head. " Don't mention it, the least I could do for you all. Well, I will see you all next time."

Alec watched as Logan carefully took Max's hand & gave a gentle but affectionate squeeze. He had to wear gloves because of the virus b!tch, but he still found a way to touch her somewhat. And here he was, the X5 named Alec, being able to touch her completely & pretty much, as much as he wanted. He suddenly felt sick to his stomach. Logan could only touch some part of her through rubber gloves & loved her through all that. Sure they had their ups & downs, but then again who didn't? And he had been stealing touches & everything else from someone he considered a friend.

' What was it I said to Max,' he wondered to himself. ' When I found out she told Logan we were together when she tried to stay away from him… oh yeah… because I'm the kinda guy that would steal another guy's girl. I guess I really am.'

He shook his head & watched as Logan walked out. His gaze turned to Max. She watched after Logan a moment longer then turned back to Alec.

" Last night was fun," she said softly.

" Yeah, a barrel of laughs," he chimed up, looking down at the table.

Max frowned & crossed her arms. " Well don't get all excited on me, I wouldn't want you to pull anything."

" Max, I'm not in the mood," Alec said with a sigh as he rubbed his eyes tiredly.

" What's you're problem?"

Alec put his hands together & rested them against his lips for a moment. " Do you ever stop to think what's going to happen when Logan finds out about what we have been doing?"

Max tilted her some, her eyes narrowing a bit. " What are you saying Alec?"

" I am asking you a question, Max," he glanced over at her. " Do you? Or do you sneak into my room for that moment of satisfaction & pretend like it didn't happen by sneaking back out?"

" I thought we had an understanding, Alec."

Alec shook his head with a slight laugh as he looked down nodding some. " Yeah, so did I."

" Then why are you getting all conservative on me now?" she asked as she strolled over to him. " You are helping me to keep from throwing myself at Logan & killing him by mistake."

" Is that what I am doing Max? Or am I just slowly helping you kill him another way?"

Max stared at him & shook her head, placing her hands on her hips. Alec turned his head to look up at her, his eyes holding hers.

" You never loved me did you?" he questioned.

Max choked. " Loved you? Alec, I love Logan."

He pressed his lips together & nodded slowly. With a deep breath drawn in, he stood up from the chair. Max tilted her head slightly to look up at him.

" Alec…" she began.

Alec shook his head & waved his hand to stop her. " Don't Max, don't even try."

" Why don't we go to my place & talk about this?"

Slowly he shook his head. She frowned at him.

" Why not?"

" I got something else that I need to do, Max," he looked at her.

" Something more important then talking about us?"

" Max, there is no 'us' remember? That was part of the deal, I believe. And you don't love me," Alec said, noticing how it really didn't hurt like he thought it would. " I think you need to really think about what you've been doing to Logan by sleeping with me. Whatever you decide to do – tell him or not, you're choice. And I will stick with it. But this," he motioned between them. " This is over."

" But Alec," Max began to protest.

" No Max," he shook his head firmly. " Don't come in my room in the middle of the night, don't give me those promising looks, & don't touch me with that come hither touch. Those are meant for Logan, who you love, not me. And I don't want anymore of them."

Alec turned from her, grabbed his things & headed for the door.

" Alec?" her voice was soft & light.

" Yeah?"

" Are… are you alright?"

His signature grin came to his plump lips. " I'm always alright."

With that, he walked out & closed the door behind him, leaving Max by herself. He walked to his room in one of the worn out buildings & put his things away. He glanced at his watch, then turned around & left. He had to take care of something & didn't want to wait a few days.
