Chapter 13

"No I did not know they mated?" OC screeched as she grabbed Biggs by the ear and pushed him into the female bathrooms.

"Explain, now" she commanded with her hands on her hips.

"Geez, OC you sure you ain't a transgenic?" Biggs asked her rubbing his now sensitive ear. 'Damn for an ordinary she sure had a lot of guts'

"Stop changing the subject with me fool. I wanna know what's going on and I wanna know now!".

"Alright, alright, damn females" He mumbled. He took a deep breath and spoke "A few years back when the heats started these two X5's mated. At the time nobody knew that they mated, not even themselves. We only picked up on it because of their behaviour's, especially the male. After they mated the male became very possessive of the female and would fight any other male who he thought a threat between them."

"Are you serious?" OC asked shocked at what she was hearing.

"Yep" Biggs replied nodding his head. "They were constantly together; it was like they couldn't get enough of each other."

"How did Manticore feel about that?" OC asked curiously. From the limited things she had heard of that place she knew they definitely wouldn't have liked that.

Biggs laughed humourlessly "They didn't like it very much at all, kept sending him to disciplinary and rein-droc but nothing worked. He couldn't control it, and they knew it but that didn't stop them" he told her bitterly.

"The were in the same pack so in a way it was good because he could always watch out for her, even though she didn't like it very much, she understood it. Transgenic women sure are something" he said quietly.

There were a few things in life that had ever struck OC speechless and this was one of them. Not knowing what to say she just stared at Biggs. It was his fault. He had given her a headache by telling her this. Just imagining Max's reaction to all of this made her dizzy. Shaking her head as if to clear her thoughts a thought occurred to her.

"How did you find out about this whole mating thing if Manticore itself didn't know, and they made you guys" she asked

Biggs smirked arrogantly "We figured it out and Alec did some reading while he was on an outside mission. He figured that since we had feline DNA we reacted to things the same way. Heat for example affects the males as strongly as it does the females. Most transgenics tend to mate during heat because that's pretty much when both male and female are vulnerable. This helps them connect subconsciously and allows them to accept it." Biggs informed her all smirks and jokes gone.

"Damn" OC swore quietly.

"What's gonna happen with Max and Alec then?" she asked "I know Max and no matter what she's gonna fight it. She won't accept it. She's already classed this down as a heat incident and she's had so many that I think she's learnt to block them out." OC regrettably informed him.

Biggs shook his head "Not this time. Before she could block it out because the guys weren't transgenic but now, especially with Alec, there's just no way she could block it out. And I'm sure as hell Alec won't let her." He confidently replied.

OC huffed and transferred her weight to her other leg causing her hip to stick out her hand on her hip. "What do you mean Alec won't let her?"

"Don't get me wrong OC. I know you guys may think you know Alec but you don't. Alec was and is my CO. He is very protective of what's his, and as far as he's concerned we as his pack and now Max as his mate are his." He said pausing for effect and letting her digest this new information.

"Mating isn't an option for us. Once it's done, it's done. There's no going back." He said as an end to their conversation.

"Come-on lets get back to work before Normal has a hissy fit." Biggs told her cocking his head towards the door. Nodding her head followed silently still trying to digest everything she had just learnt.

Alec walked towards Max once he heard and saw OC talking to Biggs. Smiling inwardly he made a mental note to buy Biggs a beer for his efforts.

"Hey Max" Alec greeted mentally flinching at the squeakiness of his voice. He saw her flinch before she turned around and faced him with a hesitant smile.

"How are you?" he asked concerned. He watched the confusion show up on her face before she quietly answered "I'm fine".

This somehow did not ease any of his concerns and guilt. In fact it worried him. The Max he knew was loud and out-there, this Max was quiet and hesitant. He took a step closer to her and was surprised when she closed her eyes blissfully.

"Did I hurt you?" he quietly asked. Being this close to her was having an effect on him.

He was too close and it was distracting her. She could smell her scent on him and a part of her was immensely proud of that 'He's mine; I even have my scent on him' a voice whispered to her.

"What!" Max gasped snapping out of her reverie.

"Did I hurt you?" Alec asked again really worried now.

"No!" Max replied shaking her head vigorously. He hadn't hurt her at all in fact he had done the complete opposite.

"Are you sure?" Alec asked still not convinced.

Max smiled. 'Who knew he could be so caring' she thought.

"I'm fine Alec, honest."

He stared at her as if scrutinizing her thoroughly, then seemingly satisfied he returned her smile.

"Max we need to talk"
