Season 3 ep.22

Max's POV

Something was burning again…I knew this feeling. It was intense, hot…made my skin itch for something my mind was too foggy to understand. I looked around. Alec and I we're in another closet together. The how and whys were unknown to me. I knew we were waiting someone out, a security guard probably.

Granted we could take him out, but not before an alarm got tripped and we both knew we couldn't let Seattle's citizens know that a transgenic was responsible for tonight's heist…I think it's a heist that is. The fog in my head remains there and for a moment, I feel a slight headache coming on.

It leaves as soon as it starts and all I can really think about is the sometimes pain-in-the-ass mate I have behind me. He's not talking for once. Just biding his time. I can't stand this burning feeling any longer. I spin around…or at least I attempt to. Alec's hands are fastened to my hips.

"Unless you want to be pregnant within the hour don't act upon it. Cause I won't stop myself." His words are clarification to the fog bank in my head. He said he 'won't stop' not that he 'couldn't stop'. My heart beats faster at the insinuation, "I don't want you to stop." I never would.

His hands sub-sequentially tighten and loosen, as if in an eternal debate. My hands now over his, I pry them off just enough to turn around. "It's my choice and I choose to have my heat with you, only you, to start a family with you." Every word is absolute truth and he reads that clear as day.

His lips crash onto mine before I can even think. "Say it!" he demands of me once our lips are parted. I gasped out, "I want a family with you, let's make a baby." His lips crash once more on mine. He grounds out against my lips, "Mine…" Slipping my tongue out, I reply back, "Yours…"

Before he can recapture my lips, I place my fingers gently over his lips. He looks to me questioningly, "Mine…" I state out. My voice coming out raspy and nearly feral. His face turns as feral as his voice. "I was always yours…" Batting my hand away, he pushes me violently up against the small wall of the closet.

Not one thought to security outside, only on him and those talented hands…lips…tongue and teeth. "Max!" I hear my name being called out in the haze. But looking to him, his lips aren't forming my name. They're too busy kissing my body. "Max wake up!" This time it's more insistent.

Oh shit! It hits me like lightening as I sit up heaving out breaths. I'm in bed as Alec checks out my fevered skin. He's in debate with himself before he flings himself up and out of bed. "You're in heat!" he shouts. I kinda knew that, I think to myself in a 'duh' motion as I watch Alec dashed out of the apartment before I could tell him that this is what I wanted to.

As far as he was probably concerned, I was still mulling over my decision to start having a family in the end. Plus my heat isn't technically due for nearly two months so something was off in my body chemistry. Maybe it had something to do with the removal of the implant?

Plus I was unable to follow since I was still nude. He'd still had his boxers on and was able to dash out. Throwing clothes on really quickly, I spent the better part of my morning looking for him. The first stage of my heat was bearable…it mostly just felt itchy in the beginning, but I could resist…for the most part.

I'll give Alec one thing. He sure knows how to escape and evade…he did it well…all day. I only had two days left before this was all over and I actually wanted this to happen. First time ever in my life I wanted this…EVER…and my over-thinking, idiotic, trying-to-be-self-sacrificing mate runs out cause he thinks I'm still not sure.

Story of my life…men can be idiots at times. He probably thought I was over at Cindy's now…which I'm not. If anything I'm taking some of Daniel's advice and putting up scented everything and anything that has a flowery or fruity scent to cover my own up. I couldn't even leave our little apartment now.

Honestly though I was hoping it would lure Alec home so we could make this happen. I then had a brilliant thought…or at least at the moment it seemed brilliant. Call Daniel to find Alec's location. I had already spent my day searching for Alec myself before I couldn't take the risk of my scent luring other X series.

Dialing out, I felt wet at just the prospect of being able to hear Alec's voice at the other end. "Yeah?" Daniel answered. "Where's Alec?" I demanded. I wanted my mate and I wanted him now… "Hello to you too." He smarted off. I growled. "He said that he had something to take care of."

Bullshit… "And that you were sick, which is BS on your part since we don't get sick…at all." I roll my eyes at the reprimand…I didn't care…right now…SO not in the mood. I happen to notice that I was running out of scented candles. The last two days would be the worst and I needed stronger scents.

Unable to leave the apartment for obvious reasons I asked, "Can you have Cece bring over some scented candles?" I wasn't so far gone as to actually invite an X5 male into the room. Unless it was Alec. "Okay." He hangs up. Calling Alec's cell for the dozenth time that day…or was it from yesterday…? Now that night is here, I'm not sure.

My heats can sure plays tricks with my head… "Alec please come home, I want this just as bad as you do." I had become desperate sounding six calls ago and still no word. Less than ten minutes later a knock came to the door. Thoughts of Alec interrupted, hoping that it was him. Probably Cece though.

The candles that were already a bit low were getting lower…I needed more. Opening the door I manage to get out, "Thank god Ce-" I froze…SHIT! Daniel! Not good…not good at all…I was panicking now for I was entering the second stage. That familiar ache was there but I didn't react to it as I normally would.

Probably because it wasn't Alec in front of me with that look in his eyes.

It also meant I wouldn't act on my urges with Daniel…thank god. Last thing we both needed was a sex-starved, horny early twenty-something to pry off of him. I'm sure Cece and Alec would both love that. I could retain some dignity and that alone made me feel better. "I asked for Ce-" I started to say.

He cut me off with a shocking kiss. Before his hands could move to hold me in place I jumped back out of reach. "Damn it, you idiot! I'm in heat! LEAVE!" I briefly wondered how strong my pheromones were with another X5 male in the room since I had never experienced the effect before...not truly anyways.

I watched as the candles in his hands dropped. Backing up slowly I say, "Daniel, you love Cece. We are just friends." Please gain control Daniel…he was stalking me now. I was the prey and he was the predator. And for the first time, I didn't want it shockingly enough. "Cece doesn't want to-" I cut him off, "Yes she does!" I can see he's fighting with himself.

He loves Cece but my pent-up pheromones in the room are making it increasingly difficult to resist. They permeated the place having been stuck in the apartment all day…and probably part of last night as well…they acted as a second coating to the walls and he was breathing in very heavily.

If you looked closely as a transgenic it could feel like you were walking into a furnace room as they would hit you like a heat wave. Frankly it was mortifying but right now it was terrifying. The last thing I wanted was to 'mate' with Daniel. He's my friend, he's Cece's mate.

This couldn't end well…not unless Alec were here…which he's not. I tried not to think on that as I frantically think while he's fighting off his own desires of where to run to. The bedroom is a no-go since there's a bed there. And crappy as hell or not it was still a bed that had its use.

Bathroom…do I have anything to knock him out with? The wrench under the sink! I make a quick dash to the bathroom using all my transgenic speed to avoid Daniel. However he was already too close to me for me to make it. I felt a blur behind me as he then tackles me to the floor of the bathroom nearly crashing us into the wall inside.

I only knocked him off long enough to turn over and smash my fist in his face. It gives him some clarity, "Max!" he yelps out in pain and in realization of what he's doing. He's had this need to mate for a while now…but with Cece, not me. "Fight it Daniel!" I cry out back at him. He looks up.

"Why aren't you acting like you're in heat?" he questions, looking confused at me. His confusion temporarily giving him more clarity, "Because I only want Alec…and Alec alone." Plain and simple. His head drops as more clarity seeps in, "Knock me out." he tells me his tone broke no argument.

I reach over; open the cabinet doors under the sink to reveal the wrench. Grabbing it I aim but miss as I hit the opposing wall leaving a nice little dent in it. I look up to see him being bodily hauled off me and smashed into the hallway wall leaving a dent enough to render a norm unconscious.

Alec had finally come home and by the looks of it he was beyond angered, beyond pissed even. He was livid with what he'd walked in on. I mean imagine walking in on your mate or partner and their being pinned to the floor by someone that's NOT you! "What the HELL are you doing? What were you thinking?" he roared out, nothing but pure anger was coursing through him.

He was beyond pissed to see what was going on. Daniel was no match for a mated male who was protecting his mate during, well, mating season. "I can't help it! Her pheromones!" He had a good reason, but he should have resisted harder. "You have Cece you ass! Why in the hell didn't you try harder to resist?" Alec demanded.

"I would have had it been Cece!" Alec barked out at him. I saw the truth in Alec's eyes, but I also saw Daniel's eyes when he looked at me. He was attracted to me…plain and simple…he partially didn't want to stop. A small part, but a part nonetheless. Now his actions in the past made sense.

Made me wonder what he was always mumbling about. "Go to Cece now. Leave here or I swear to all that is holy you won't be able to ever reproduce." I told him. Alec looked to him showing him he would be the one to make my last statement effective. Before he was let go, Alec smashed his fist into his face a few times before a few gut punches and a hell of a warning.

Getting into his beaten face Alec said, "You touch my matemy woman like that again and I will break you." Daniel nodded before limping off and out of the apartment. That's when Alec finally saw me, my pheromones high and thick in the air. I could see he was still trying to think.

I was trying to figure out why he wasn't tearing at my clothes. I reached out to him and begged out, "Alec please…I want this too…" I cooed. His face was in need of this just as much as I was. "Are you sure? Cause the prospect of a baby is guaranteed and I want to have that with you." he asked.

Standing up I shed what little clothing I had on till I was covered in nothing but my own sweat. Walking up to him I press my body into his own while telling him in no uncertain terms, "I'm sure." He groaned out before claiming my mouth in sweet bliss. Hands grabbing my head I swam in the feel of him.

The apartment was infused with my pheromones. Alec's eyes were more animal than human and judging by the heat emanating off my skin so were mine. I could tell he was asking something, but the need for fulfillment prevented me from thinking completely clearly…at all really.

I let my inner feline take over and peppered kisses all over his neck. He was still fully clothed and it irked me…no I hated those clothes. In my heated state I felt he should be naked all the time…only around me of course. I myself was already nude, and though it just happened moments ago I could hardly remember taking my clothes off.

He groaned and lolled his head back into the wall. Taking my advantage, I slipped my hand down his stomach to his jeans that now seemed too tight. I popped the button, then unzipped them down his now throbbing length. Once I pulled him out, his head was banging into the wall behind him.

Taking my time, I belayed the need I felt. If he was going to run from me, then I was going to torture him now for making me wait the whole damn day. His hand caught mine only moments into torturing him. His eyes said it all as he crashed his lips onto mine and we both fell to the floor.

The bathroom floor that was cold tile. I arched up my back at the unexpected sensation pushing my chest up into his. In a snap his leather jacket that he hadn't yet dispensed of...until now…was now lying beneath me. Laying back down I felt no cold tile only the leather that smelled of him.

Even now in the intoxicated state that he was in thanks to my heat, he was still considerate when it came to me. I smiled up at him. A sweet smile that told him how much I loved him and every little thing he did for me. Nothing had to be a huge gesture and he got that.

Putting that to the side however I wanted…no…needed to feel his warmth encompassing me as it had before in the past. I needed to feel him inside of me and the need was so overpowering, I started to tear at his clothes. His shirt was ripped off in two pieces as I then attacked his jeans.

He growled in pleasure at the sensations I was causing him. The cat within was pleased to know it was pleasing his inner cat with the roughness. Nothing less would do to satisfy right now…not in our state. He shucked the now ruined jeans down his legs leaving his boxers…why didn't they go with?

I asked myself before his mouth claimed a breast, making me forget my prior inward inquiry. Looking around, I felt odd now being in the exact…okay not exact but close…position with Alec that I had been in with Daniel before his senses came to. Alec noticed my discomfort and looked around remembering who he'd thrown out.

Gathering me in his arms I wrapped my legs around his waist only to have him pull them out from around him and for him to carry me bridal style to the bed. I had NEVER in my life had ANYONE do that before. Heat was always just a heat-induced thing that I got off on, but this…how can he still be able to be so sweet?

It made me hungrier for him. Feeling the bed give in from our combined weight, my hunger only got more amplified as I used my transgenic speed to flip him over. But I hadn't counted on him re-flipping me once again so we were on the other end of the bed with him on top.

Pinning me to it, I saw the look in his eyes. That dominate, feral look of needing his mate to submit. Whether he knew it or not, it was strong within his dark, hazel green eyes. Now though they looked a lot darker, one might say nearly black with love, lust and need. My own eyes probably mirrored it.

"I love you." He said in a voice that told me it wasn't just the heat that he always would and always will love me. Like he knew that deep down inside, I had my own doubts as he did. Touching his face I knew that this would be the last of our ability to be able to be sincere for a tiny little while.

"I love you too." He read it in my eyes and it was as if I saw whatever doubt that was plaguing him vanish. If I hadn't seen it go away, I wouldn't have noticed it there. His lips took mine once again in fiery need. I used my toes to pull down his boxers as he finished the job and kicked them off.

His tongue on mine mimicked the action he would be doing to me very soon and I couldn't freaking wait for it. But first, he seemed to have a plan, "I wanna taste you before I lose whatever shred of control I have and take you so hard you won't be able to sit for a week." Oh god! How I wanted that!

And I was unbelievably wet as those words came out. It was like pouring an extra coating of liquid heat onto my hot, throbbing center. I was on fire! And feeling him trail a line of fire with his tongue was only making it worse. Yet somehow, I was feeding off of it. I hated and loved it at the same time.

It made me want to shove his head further down.

But he kept himself still. The only thing my action did was make him smile a little cockily before his tongue dipped into my naval. The feline within purring its approval at the attention he so willingly gave me. Never before had I had someone do this for me while I was in heat.

It was a new sensation during the act. Sure Alec had done it outside of heat, but with all my senses heightened, it felt new, I'm guessing for the both of us, if judging by the way he was now licking all around my core. I felt femininely divine hearing him purr and groan at the taste of me.

My own inner cat purring at the sensations he was evoking from me. I gripped his head to keep him down there, wanting to part with the sensations. With a tweak from my nipples that his head reached up and tweaked, I came like a thunderbolt. I shot up nearly completely off the bed.

The only thing holding me down was Alec's tight grip on me. Coming back down, I felt the need coming again and saw his own need throbbing, begging for attention. Already having pleased me…his mate…he let me shove him down the bed enough to straddle him. But I decided to torture him yet again.

Where I got the willpower to do so, I'll never know. But as he leaned back, I turned around effectively cutting him off from view against my front and his organ. Leaning over, I felt his hands grasp my ass and mold them, increasing my pleasure. I moaned just as I sunk my mouth over his member.

His hands clenched mid grab as I hummed softly and cradled his testicles. His shout of approval followed by his loss of grip. I teased him, feeling his head hit the mattress with an audible thud. I slowly worked my body up off of him and around to his legs so he could now see my actions.

Had I not been giving him the blowjob of his life at the moment, transgenic or not, my movements would have notified him. As it was, he could only focus on the throbbing in his length. I let his name hum from my mouth as I saw his eyes trying in vain to open up only to shoot open completely at seeing the sight.

Oh, and what a sight I must have been. Hair mussed up behind me and all around my face while my mouth was hollowed out from sucking him down my throat. My body bent over his lower half, completely nude and covered in a light sheen of sweat. It was no wonder he grabbed me up off of him.

Pulling me off, my teeth scraped against his member, but it only served this time to be as pleasure-filled as anything. He flipped me over onto my back and I leaned my head back in supplication, baring my neck. He groaned at the submissive gesture and sunk his teeth into my jugular.

I felt the pressure of his teeth and the tiny cut they made as he made a permanent bite mark…I felt that even with our surplus of stem cells circulating in our bloodstream, these bite marks now would be branded on us…forever. Something to never be healed or taken away…I loved it.

Feeling my own needs once again arise, I grabbed his ass, begging for him to make us complete. He slid his length inside, testing the waters…or to torture me as I had him…it was working. I grasped at him again only to see that cocky grin on his features. We fought once again for dominance.

Each of us never truly gaining upper ground…what did you expect when two alphas come together during heat? Finally it wasn't till I rolled him to the floor did I get anywhere. I sunk down on his hardened shaft as he rolled his head back, slamming it into the floor below him.

I smiled like a Cheshire cat before moving to my own beat and rhythm. Pinning his wrists to the floor, I felt him test my hold before surprising me and lifting me off of him. His hands easily held my lithe weight as he ground out, "We're. Not. Blowing. Your heat…on a quickie!" I was outraged and happy as hell all at once.

First and foremost, it was sweet that he wanted to take his time…though why I don't know. Secondly, I didn't want slow! I wanted fast, I wanted power, and I wanted his throbbing member making me come, screaming his name. Maybe he read that because before I knew it, I was the one lying on my back.

"I want this Max, just as much as you do, but I want it to be that when we're done, you're going to remember this heat even when we're in our eighties with grandkids. I want you to feel its intensity even then. I want to make it better than any heat you've ever had before." How do you manage to be sexy and sweet all at once?

For the next several hours he was true to his words…whereas we started out trying to dominate, the rest was spent equalizing it all. We were in this together; there was no need to show at this point who was better than whom. He was my male, my mate, as I was his woman, his mate. When he surged into me after his words, I felt complete.

The fullness of him, he was the only one that I ever slept with…that I ever will sleep with again, that reached THAT spot within me and made me shiver in ways I never had before. We started off on the ground by the bed, but he decided that after his first thrust, we'd use the bed for the first round.

Sliding me onto it I felt his warmth encompassing me again before he started to move. It was subtle at first till I saw the excitement and need struggling on his face. He couldn't hide anything from me so I wrapped my legs around his waist and angled my hips in such a way that made us both see stars.

I was positively on fire as I shifted my hips every so often to make him hit the right spots within me. I was certain that molten lava was what we were emitting to each other. How else could two beings get so DAMNED HOT? I felt like we could burn a hole right through the bed.

My skin itched for his contact, not wanting to be apart from him at all. He kept up his pace of thrusting as I kept my ankles locked behind his back. I didn't want him to go. It seemed though as if he had other plans. Removing his hands from their wonderful places on me, he unwrapped my legs from him.

I shot my head up as he pried them apart with difficulty before he finally won and held them apart, "Trust me." he says. I fall back into the bed when his hips slam into me, seemingly deeper this time. He widens the space between my legs and shoves himself further into me.

I trust this man with my life, I hold no doubts with him. He's my mate and always will be, no one can top him…and no one will. He shifts my legs further apart now, testing the limits of my flexibility. We've done many things to test this, but this next piece I had reserved for this occasion.

Shifting my legs over his shoulders I keep the width open as I pull him in closer to me. We both shudder in pleasure as he sinks in even deeper. I'm more sure now than ever that I've never had that spot hit in my life. I didn't even know I had it. Leave it to Alec to find it…I smile amidst my pleasure.

Feeling my first orgasm of the night coming on me, all I can think about is the pleasure he's induced within me. I've had decent sex before, and great sex…love-making…with him but heat sex…no…heat love-making with him is something I've been waiting my whole life to experience.

And I get to have it the rest of my life. Before I can orgasm though, he shifts positions on me. Now I'm in his lap with my legs still up in the air while he sits up. "You want me, this…" He moves himself inside of me. I nod my head, too out of my mind to respond with words right now.

"Then take it." He orders. An order I'll gladly follow any day of the week. Using my arms for support I move myself over him as we both undulate against one another. I feel its sweet bliss as it overpowers me and I lose my grip and steadiness completely and fall back.

Alec's POV

I first noticed that she was sure when she left me over a dozen calls. The first six calls told me that it was her that wanted a family, before that I would have been in doubt. But she did. So after I took care of a few deliveries that day, I came home. I arrived to TC late into the night.

Getting home, I smelled so many scents, I was curious as to why they were coming from our place? Walking in, it was intense. Now I knew why there were so many scents, they were covering up Max's pheromones. Walking in, I was surprised to smell one last scent, aroused male.

That had me seeing RED. I walked further in once I heard the words, "Hit me." Daniel was in here. I was angered beyond belief that he was in here with MY MATE. I saw that he had Maxie, my Maxie, pinned to the floor. Yeah, I was NOT happy. I leaned down and pulled him off her like no tomorrow.

I was flamingly pissed off. Once I found out that he'd had an attraction towards Max, it was all I could do from wiping the floor with him. Instead I showed him mercy by simply beating on his ass for a minute before throwing him out the door. Then I saw Max and how she was looking at me.

It was intense…she only had eyes for me, not Logan, not Daniel, nobody else but ME, and it was a HUGE turn-on. Then she started to strip in front of me. I wanted to be sure she was ready, but I guess she was. How we made it to the bedroom was anyone's guess. My head was too fogged up with lust to remember.

All I knew was that this was the best thing to experience in the world, and I was finally experiencing it with Max. Next best thing would probably be watching Max giving birth to any kids we'd have. Gonna have to wait nine months for that to happen, and I know after tonight, it'll happen.

I got side-tracked along the way when I tasted her. Not only did it seem her senses were heightened, but her sensitivity as well. Her response level had increased, and all I wanted to do was drink her in for the remainder of the night. But then, seeing her cum was such a sight, it would be forever imprinted in my head.

She seemed determined now, especially after what I did for her, and before I knew it, I was getting the blowjob of my life done to me. The way she was hollowing out her cheeks as she sucked me, I had to literally fight to keep from cumming too soon. I groaned and grit my teeth in pleasure.

I had had enough though. I wasn't going to let this be blown so fast even though that's what she seemed to want. She'll thank me later when I make this the best heat she's ever had. Sure, we'll have her heats for the remainder of our lives, but I want to show her that I'M the best and the perfect choice for a reason.

The way she clenches me though…it's as if I had a steel clamp on my dick. The best feeling in the world, mind you, and she couldn't have looked anymore beautiful. As I watch her take her pleasure, and reciprocate just as well, I feel such a deep connection with her…like now our minds will be one, not just our bodies and hearts.

As I pull her on top of me and tell her to 'take it', she complies so willingly that I'm even more stunned when she gyrates herself in an up and down motion. It nearly sends me over the edge with her first orgasm with me in her. I just barely manage to hang on through it all. She looks to me, stunned.

"We still have a long way to go…my mateMaxie…" She grins like you wouldn't believe before trying to take me. I get that she wants to take over as she's done in the past, but I'm not her former heat partners. I'm her final and last one, and by god, I'm going to show her what heat is like with a transgenic alpha male.

I spin her around at transgenic speed so fast I can tell she's dizzy. Her head against the wall of the apartment I tell her, "Brace yourself." She braces her hands against the wall as I hike her legs from over my shoulders to spreading them out wide outside my biceps and start to slam into her in raging strokes.

I can tell she wasn't expecting that. Any other woman right now would feel the assault on their body, begging me to stop, or ease up, Max…Max begs for more, to go harder, faster, to give her my all. And that's exactly what I do…once I'm done with the overly deliberate strokes.

I can hear just barely hear…past the blood rushing through my ears…the bed slamming into the wall. Max's out loud grunts and whimpers of ecstasy fuel me on until I feel her muscles tighten up on me once again. I hold back as much as I can, holding my breath cause I heard it slows things down.

I just barely pass through her second orgasm without coming. And she now looks steamed and still horny as anything. I just barely managed to gather myself together while she was still clamping on me and shuddering in satisfaction. The look on her face was intoxicating.

Now that I knew I had to make this last for her till I was able to go a few more rounds again I decided to give her a completely different feel. I stood from the bed, her legs still twined around my waist as I pushed her up against the bedroom door. I only hoped it was sturdy enough to hold us both.

Keeping her legs parted I pushed the limits again when I abandon all the self-control I normally kept even a smidgen of, and let utterly loose on her. "I'll say it now before I lose my thought process completely, but I won't be able to stop once I let it all out. So, if you feel you can't-" she touched my face.

"If you don't give it to me now I'll call Daniel back in here." She sweetly threatened. I saw the horns in her hair from this and swore to her, "Bitch. You're mine! Got that? Can he make you feel like I can?" I gave one barely controlled thrust.

It was all I could do from a mindless pounding into her, "Can he give you the satisfaction I can?" I stay inside and ground my hips against hers eliciting a pleasured filled whimper, "Can he make you whimper or scream like I can?" I couldn't help it, I slammed into her with such abandon that whimpers weren't erupting, screams were.

"Who?" she screeched out as her head banging against the door. I roared in primal delight as I was the chosen male over anybody else. Only I could give her those things, and only I ever will. My heart was pounding even louder than I thought it could. I could feel hers pounding in the same succession as well.

I barely felt it when the door's hinges creaked…the only sign we had before we both fell to the ground. My thrusts against Max, and our combined weight, were too much for the poor thing as we landed…hard. My last thrust as we landed was what shot her through an orgasm so intense, it looked like she was having a seizure.

The only thing that told me she was fine and NOT having one was the fact that her tiny little muscles were undulating around me and making me come so hard, I'm sure I alerted the tenants to the nearest one block radius to what was going on…then again, I'm sure they already knew due to Max's incessant screams of pleasure.

Door busted, not the intention, but a sated-at-the-moment Max, that was the intention. She looked ready for a bit of sleep before the next round, and I wasn't going to back down from that, so I gently slipped from her before carrying her back to the bed and sliding us just beneath the sheet.

Slipping my arms tightly around her, I felt her heart beat slow down. I knew she'd only be out for a few hours, her shark DNA would make her rise to the occasion yet again. So I wasn't going to waste this time, I was going catch those hours in sleep while holding the most important thing in my life as close to me as possible.

Max POV

It's been something else these past few weeks. Training X6's and mostly the X5's on everything that we'll need to use. The Familiars may not have a lot of weaknesses, but they can still bleed and break, you just have to nail them like you would a regular person. I did it to White.

Broke his ankle, he couldn't walk on it for a bit of time. You immobilize them, before you get rid of them. That was another thing to. I didn't want to have blood on our hands from this. I made sure that we could synthesize a knockout agent of our own strong enough to take one of them down for several hours on end.

I had contacted Otto for a sample of White's DNA. He at first told me I was crazy, but then I told him what the DNA could do for us, as he decided to play White's little 'power pet' for the remainder of the week. We met so he could give us the sample from White's coffee mug.

It was truly gross that we had to do this, but even if there was a little 'swill' in it, we could figure out what could slow him and his kind down effectively. If we could, then we could just shoot them up with it, and let them go down without anyone getting hurt. I hadn't yet tried to use tasers, and Alec had pointed them out to me.

I hated them myself, having been hit with them on several occasions. Plus I wasn't sure how White would react to getting a few of those things attached to him. Would he react or would he just simply rip them off? I didn't know, and Alec had been irritable about letting me out to test the theory.

However, unfortunately, the pregnancy tests we got seemed to not like to work with my cat DNA…they were inconclusive. Alec had made me make an appointment with Carr so I could find out for sure, and until then would cut me off every time I tried to leave. He always came up with something for me to do.

And right now, he put me on my ex's detail. Logan had vanished without a trace and usually that would be good, but when you have a former good-guy-for-all vanish while he's hopped up on transgenic blood…things can't go good in that direction. The mayor was doing fine.

He even let us give him a private 'no questions asked' transgenic as a bodyguard. As far as everybody else knew, he was a new recruit. He was ordered by both me and the mayor that as a joint effort to NOT use his abilities unless an actual shot was made. He was fine with it.

He just had to get his barcode lasered off at the end of every month, courtesy of something the mayor and I talked about to ensure he stayed out of the public eye. It was kept under wraps of course. The mayor even told me that oddly enough, he actually felt safer with him there.

We were progressing, and now that he was being re-elected and the votes looked good. We were also in huge favor of becoming citizens. Courtesy of our votes for him. It was after all the bargain we'd made. A few hundred free votes in exchange for 'transgenic immunity' and citizens.

It was a worthwhile trade and we were to sign on it at the end of the month, which was only two weeks away. So, regardless of whether or not he won, he would get two hundred plus votes, and we'd get immunity for being transgenic and our citizenship. I felt relieved, and even the younger crowds were looking up.

The hate signs were still out there, mind you, but now the nimrods toting them were half the time sitting out there drinking coffee or liquor, and ranting about the last newspaper with us in it. Scetchy really was working the angles for us. Once Joshua got his story out there about being the first of the transgenics, and all people were shocked.

He was a huge mutant that had this big loveable heart that would do anything he could to protect all that he loved. Rita, when she discovered everything, held a press conference, and even had her own words to say about him, "Joshua, as you've seen from the newspapers, does have his own different look."

She had to wait till they quieted down again, "But a lot of you see him see a monster, no he's far from that. He's a sweet, gentle soul that I have had the honor to meet and speak with. And at first, I didn't understand what he meant by 'people are afraid of what they don't understand', but now I do."

Safe to say what her next words were what had me letting out a tear, "People let their prejudices get in the way of things. Joshua is a painter, and he's amazing at it. I have some of his pieces right here in my private collection. You need to look past what the media tells you, they're wrong. Trust the hearts of the transgenics instead."

I thought her business would have suffered, but apparently, everyone started to come in to the see the pieces Joshua had created. She got more business, and the transhumans were given a new perspective. We still had haters, but now there was doubt among them now. And that doubt was going to help out.

Now all we had to do was be on pins and needles waiting for the signal to move out when White and his team made the damned move on the water plant. We had people training for weeks, and still had two X5's watching them. I just wanted them to make their move, I wanted to fight and get this over with.

Though I would have to sneak out since Alec was behind every corner waiting for me to try and prevent me from either doing spar training, or even ride my ninja. The moment I told him I was thinking of upgrading he said quote, "Not till that baby is born." I relented hoping he wouldn't go as far as putting a lock on her.

My appointment with Carr was coming up soon but till then, Alec pulled his strings to keep me in certain places. It was getting irritating however, for some areas of how he held so much power over people than I did. I wasn't much for ordering about but when I was 'suggested' to not do it cause of Alec I knew they'd report back.

It was irritating. Leader or not, he was the one with the actual leading abilities, and the one who held their trust from back at Manticore. I may be the leader, but only cause I'm the one who said 'We were made in America and were not going anywhere…today were going to make a stand right here…who's with me?' everyone stayed.

I was just waiting for the word to pop up on White's men making their move. And no one had shown up…till now that is. I got the call that I had been waiting for. "Max, there are three large Sedan's approaching the plant, only a few blocks away." I knew the timing was close.
But if this was going down like we thought it was, they needed time to unload their cargo before getting it inside. Texting a mass text to Alec and Mole (since he finally broke down and got a cell phone), they knew to be ready. We made sure a few weeks back that everyone who didn't have a cell phone was now equipped with one.

Alec, Mole, Joshua, Luke, Dix, Cece and Daniel were all notified and all of a sudden it was like TC had been put on red alert as every assigned soldier were given less than two minutes to get ready and load up into our own cars. The ETA wasn't too far, and White would need the proper documentation to get in there.

We were taking advantage of that time slot and moving out. Seeing everyone leave, I noticed Alec was busy with Daniel and Cece, so I slipped into the other van and texted the next chain of command should anything happen that she, Gem, was in charge. She thought I too should stay.

This was why I did have several pregnancy tests. And each of them told me I wasn't pregnant. I couldn't sit back and not fight when this could determine the safety of so many lives. Alec was just going to have to suck it up. I just had to make sure he didn't find out or know that I was there.

The people in my van looked at me weirdly before I said, "Any of you have a problem with me fighting alongside you, speak up."

No one said a word against me, "We don't have a problem with you Max, but didn't Alec say-" I cut him off, "Alec may think I'm pregnant, but several pregnancy tests say he's wrong. And I can't NOT fight. He's being paranoid and overprotective, and we could use all the help we can get." He agreed before handing me a gun.

No wait it was a taser gun, I look to him, "Alec told a few people, we may not agree but at least you'll be able to see if their immune to tasers, cause I know we're not." A few others in the van chucked and started to tell a story each on how they got tasered at one point in time.

"So what about you? What was the worst tasering you ever got?" he asked, "Well I just discovered my dead sister's body after Renfro killed her. Saw Lydecker's men and Deck himself. As you know, Deck was Manticore, and Manticore killed my sister…and I saw RED. Jumped up and had about a dozen tasers attack me mid-air. Crashed onto a computer station….that kinda hurt."

Stunned, the transgenic remarked, "Wow…ouch…sorry…for your sister that is." Resolve in my face, I said, "As far as I see this, we're not just helping those on the other side of the fence, we're protecting innocent children, our future. These tasers will help us…" I hope. I added that last part silently to myself.

The trip over wasn't too hard. We just had to make sure to use the lousiest streets in Seattle so we wouldn't have to worry too much about sector cops. The ones sent to these parts didn't much care about their jobs, since hardly anyone used the routes. But that was because the streets were just that broken up.

No one could really use them unless they were high off the ground, or off road sporting vehicles, otherwise, within a few feet of driving, you're looking at ruining your whole front and rear axle. Hell, I didn't even drive my bike down these roads. There was too much of a chance in getting the bike damaged.

However, if you wanted to avoid the sector cops that actually paid attention, these were the roads you took. Once we were in the area, we stopped just outside of the viewing radius and saw that Alec's team was already down there ready to get inside. We could see they gained entry through the basement.

My team and I…correction…X5-584 aka Biscuits former team, were taking the roof's access inside. Having already done this before, I looked for the nearest roof that we could jump up onto, or at least gain access to a low level window to jump higher up. I spotted the nearest one by the east side.

In two by two standard formation, we each took turns and jumped from window to window up there. If we did that down at the actual building, we would have been spotted by their security. As it was, that's why Alec's team went in two by two around back from the basement level.

Three stories up later, which was an easy feat for us, I went to the end of the roof and saw that the distance was around a standard building size and a half away. So I'd need to be precise on where I made this rope go. We'd only be able to cross over two people at a time regardless.

The distance was too great to try for more than that. Once I placed the rope attached arrow into the shooting barrel, I locked on the top most part of the roof. I had to make it higher than just the rim of the roof since the distance would have us being seen too easily by passer-bys.

Biscuit…who took his name from how much he loved to eat biscuits…(Don't ask! I didn't name him)…tied the other end that we had to a secure position where we were as I tested the rope out for sturdiness. Hooking up the astro quick draw…I was glad that I had kept most of my old theft equipment.

It helped for us to find more needed for this operation. The quick draws were snapped on the rope itself and the other end to the person on the rope as we used upper arm and lower leg to shimmy our way up the rope. Basically we had a metal guarantee that we'd make it to the roof.

I knew Biscuit briefly commanded for at least two transgenics to stay back and act as back-up. Looking at the building, had it not been a whole story taller, I would have tight-roped the bitch, no problem. But that wasn't an option. Once we all made it over, we left two extra ropes as an emergency exit for the ground unit.

After all if you're going to be breaking in some place, you need a back-up way out.

Biscuits used his gun, which I was more than thankful for the silencer on it, elsewise we would have alerted anyone up here that we were coming in. Before we spread out, we took every entrance way that could get us to the main room that we needed access to. I was grateful for Luke and Dix.

They gave us access to the water plant's blueprints, so finding a dozen ways to get there was easy. It was just making sure the access ways were empty, so everyone on mine and Alec's main orders were to only disarm and knock out if necessary, no kill orders. Not unless and ONLY if you yourself were about to die.

So safe to say, unless a Familiar got the upper hand in a big way on anyone, then there would be no deaths. So far, we'd made it down three levels. The plant itself had four floors to it, but the two floors on top were mainly consistent of office floors. Once we were past the office floors, we had to use all of our senses to avoid collision.

Finally sneaking past to the first floor, we encountered at least six Familiars in obvious uniform with the regular guards. The problem I noticed right away was the unmistakable barcode I saw on every Familiar, displaying it almost…proudly. It hit me like a ton of bricks as to what they were planning as a side note.

I used our comm's to talk to Biscuit, who'd taken another route, "Biscuit." I urged through, "Yeah?" he answered, "The Familiars are wearing barcodes." I could tell he was stunned, "What the hell for?" he asked. "Obviousness…they're using the barcodes to frame us for the incident." It wasn't exactly as we thought it was.

It wasn't an in and out for them. They needed more time than we thought to do what they needed to do, but instead of acting as a foreign assassin, they acted as 'us'. "You need to alert Alec. Tell him the situation. In the meantime, I'm going down to the lower levels, but not before disarming these asses." A he agreed before I moved.

I steadied my stun gun and hit my first target before I used my second taser, the prod I had on me as well, to nail the one nearest to me before jumping up and wrapping my legs around the last Familiar that came my way. The other X5 with me shot all of them down with tranq darts.

Tying them all up, and grateful that they had been easily taken care of, we released the hostages and informed them that WE were transgenics, THEY were NOT. They scrambled out of there as we headed further in. I hit the steps to the basement level and saw no one.

White must have a lot of faith in only having a few Familiars there. Then again…he didn't expect for you and your crew to show up here either. He was under-manned this time. Getting further down there, I saw White's men pouring the different chemical compounds together…probably getting the right mix.

I saw Alec's group slowly coming in too, making their way around, I was surprised they weren't here sooner. Then again…who knows how many Familiars they tangled with along the way? It could have deterred them just as it did me and my partner. Speaking of…I looked around to find him steady and ready for action.

Alec didn't even know I was out here yet, as far as he knew I was still at TC and till it was absolutely necessary, I wasn't going to show myself…not to him anyways. That's when I spotted the action about to happen. This was going to be a long day…I told myself…a long one indeed.
