AN: Sorry it took me long to update. I said I'll update for today well it's the next day now but I thought the site was going to be down, so I didn't check it until late tonight. But I got the chapter up. The next update will be on Monday. I'll try and get it up sooner. Enjoy

I'm his…

It sounds strange saying it in your head over and over. Max never would have thought she would be anybody's let alone Alec's. What do she do being his? It almost makes her feel like she's a thing or something. Max was examining the mark on her shoulder in the broken mirror of her TC apartment. After leaving Joshua's, she had a whole schedule of what she was going to do today. She was going to go to the infirmary to check on CeCe and Biggs and then maybe go to head quarters to check on some much needed work but she got deter from her schedule. After her shower, she was towel drying her hair and went to grab her toothbrush when she caught sight of the mark. It was just a bite mark how does that make her Alec's. She gently rubs her index finger over it, mimicking Alec's fingers from last night, over the mark.

Alec traces his mark with his fingers until his eyes start to get droopy.

"You okay Max," he asks looking up at her.

"Yeah Alec, just go to sleep."

She smiles at the memory. Grabbing her toothbrush and pasting it, she begins to brush her teeth, leaving the bathroom. She rampages through her closet for something decent and clean to wear for today but it seems like none of her clothes look good to wear. She decided to settle for a red tank top with a pair of blue jeans. Going back into the bathroom, she spits and rinses her mouth from the toothpaste and dries her mouth. Once again she looks into her mirror and stares at the mark. Her long damp hair was kind of covering it, hiding it from her view so she pushes it back. Her eyes left the mark to go to her hair. A smile graces her face as she runs her hands through her hair.

…..

After getting dress, Max left her apartment to go to the infirmary. While her mind is in deep thoughts, she doesn't notice some of the people watching her. One of them is Gabe. He is watching Max from his apartment's window with a sneer on his face. It's probably nothing, she thought to herself. He just bit me, nothing to get all worried about. A bite doesn't make me his, does it?

"Would you…would you let me make you mine," he asked with pleading eyes.

Max had to smile at the innocent look he was giving her. She moves her hands to his cheeks and pulls him into a passionate kiss. After a while they parted from the kiss but rested their fore head together.

"Yes Alec, I want to be yours."

Another memory of last night hit her again and she smiles again. I'm Alec's..., she tests in her head. Then under a whisper she said the two words out loud. It flows out of her mouth naturally like it did last night.

"Long time no see Max, I thought you were coming back with Alec last night," Minx interrupts Max thinking. "I was about to send a search team for you but I figured you guys probably needed sometime and some sleep since it was kind of late."

"Yeah I was but…yeah we needed the sleep," she said agreeing with what Minx said.

Minx eyed her suspiciously but chose to ignore it. Max follows Minx inside the infirmary where CeCe sat in a chair with a blanket wrapped around her, next to the still unconscious Biggs. She was sipping on a cup of coffee when she spotted Max heading her way. CeCe smiles as Max pulls up another chair to seat next to her.

"What," Max asks shortly after getting comfortable in her chair.

"I presume someone woke up on the right side of the bed," she said looking Max up and down.

"What do you mean?"

"The new look, did I miss the memo for a new style today? You cut your hair and except no one to notice you. You even put a little color in your wardrobe."

"Hey a girl can wake up one day and say she needs a new look. Besides my hair was short before and I decided wearing it short look good on me."

"That's not the only thing that's on you."

"What?"

"Nothing," she sips on her coffee.

"How is he," Max asks looking at Biggs. He looks a lot better from the last time she seen him.

"He's doing well. The wounds are healing fast, faster then usual but Minx thinks its because of our blood and his immune system trying to work fast to heal him self. I really don't care at this point, the sooner the better right?" Max just nods her head looking at Biggs. "So did you find Alec? I assuming you did since you two didn't make it back last night. Did anything interesting," she smiles.

"Yes I found him. He was drinking a whole bottle of Scotch at Joshua's. Really upset about what happen with Biggs, so…"

"So you comfort him and yadda, yadda. I know what happened Max I can see the evident all over you. The new look, the short hair, the bite mark on your right shoulder. He made you his didn't he?" Max had to smile. That word…his…is making her do that now. She reaches up to touch the mark again. "I knew from the moment you two didn't show up that you guys was finally putting some action in your relationship."

"Is it that obvious?"

"It is when you change look over night but natural. You're going want to flaunt it so everyone around here will know that you are taken. It's our instinct after we have been mated."

There go that word again. It seems like that's all I'm hearing lately, Max thought. Wait did she just say mated?

"What do you mean by mated?"

"It's where we choose the person we want to be with. In this case Alec chose you to be his when he bit you and you the same."

"I never bit Alec, only he bit me."

"Why didn't you?"

"I don't know."

"Don't you want to be with him? Make him yours like you are his. Don't you love him?"

Max didn't need to think, she knew the answer. "Yeah I do."

"Then I think you two have some unfinished business to attend to," CeCe smiled at Max as she got up.

A groaning sound next to CeCe caught her attention and she look over to see Biggs was trying to open his eyes. She looks at Max who was looking at the weary male beside her and laughs in excitement. She gentle cup Biggs around the face and kiss him dearly. Max watch the scene play as Minx and another field med came and check on his vitals. It was then Max saw the bite mark on Biggs left shoulder and on CeCe's left. They were mates. Max smiles again at the lovely couple as CeCe pulls Biggs in for another kiss. Leaving the two alone for some peace, she went to find her mate.

She decides to go to his apartment thinking he might still be there. She hopes he still there. The thought of making Alec her mate was exhilarating. What she could do to him like what he did to her cross her mind and it made her pick up her pace. Now she understand what it means to be his, what to do as his. She wouldn't mind having a repeat of last night only this time reverse roles. She can almost picture it. Alec just walking out from his bathroom after his shower wrapped in a nice fluffy blue towel, and she busting in and slamming him into a nearby wall. Biting, licking, and nipping at his neck until she moves to his shoulder and giving him the signature bite to make him hers. Alec hers have a nice ring to it, she thought nearing his apartment. She can almost pick up on his scent from outside the apartment. A bigger smile then before makes it way on her face when his door came into view. The scent is getting strong and her instincts were starting to react. Her heart was racing, her breathing shortening, her eyes dilating and with one big kick to the door she was in his apartment. And all her heated thoughts and primal instinct left her in one big punch in the gut. She actually steps back at the sight in front of her. There was no blue towel or water dripping body she except to see in front of her. No there instead of course was Alec in his living room fully clothed and just as dried as day on his couch talking to the one and only ordinary, Logan, standing in front of him with a manila folder in hand. Her once thought out plan ruin by the presence of another man.

…..

"Nice of you to bust in Max," Alec said getting up from the couch to close the door behind her. Max was render speechless. Her loss for words was lost the moment she came in. Her ex and was soon be mate is in a room together, talking about god knows what when she was busting in to have her way with Alec. What could she say? It's funny how things work out. Alec was standing behind her now as she looks at his wooded floor. She could feel two set of eyes looking at her while she fuddle with her fingers. She wanted to laugh but suppress it to keep a calm natural face before looking up at Logan who gave her a weak smile.

"Logan stop by to drop off the blood analyze from Dr. Carr," he said moving from behind Max to seat on the arm of his couch folding his arm in the process. "Said it was best to bring it over him self," he said eyeing Max up and down slowly. Max smiled at his eyes roaming her body before she focus her attention on Logan. He must like the new look, she thought.

Getting the cue to speak, he begins. "Yeah I thought it would be better that way since I tried calling and using the video com to speak to you but I got no answer. Plus there are some things we need to discuss about what Dr. Carr found."

"Logan you knew you shouldn't come here, it's dangerous for you to be here."

"I know but I wanted to talk to you."

"There nothing to talk about Logan, we're not together. Whatever you do is your business not mines." The room went silent.

Alec broke the silent of course, getting bored of the silence. "What did the good old doctor find anyway? It's must be something interesting if he kept us waiting this long."

Logan pulled out a couple of sheet from the folder and handed it to Max and Alec. As they read Logan what he knows from the sheet since he read it before he came over.

"He found a mixture of two different drugs in the blood you gave him. Anabolic steroid and some kind hypnotic drug could be benzodiazepine base. He thinks this hypnotic drug is what put your friends a sleep and the steroid is what have them up and kicking the next day."

"I guess that would explain the extra body mass on some of them but why the behavioral changes," Alec ask.

"Could be the drugs but Dr. Carr thinks it is something else. Also in the blood he found a small trace of silicon. He doesn't know if it comes from somewhere else so he test the other bloods you gave him and they all show up with small amount of silicon."

"So it could be something Gabe is giving them. Find this concoction he's using we can probably find a cure before things get worst. They're acting almost like the prefect Manticore soldiers and if they're following Gabe's order then we have to stop him quick."

"We have to find out what's this silicon stuff floating around before most importantly," Max jumps in. "It could be the main end product of this drug."

"One question, how are you're going to get the drug from Gabe? He has probably got it hidden in a secure place or keep it close by for all you know," Logan stated.

"We'll figure out something."

AN: So what do you think? I'm not some whiz on drugs or anything but I look these this up and they sort of fit what I was trying to get at, sort of. I hope you won't hold that against me. I tried to make it sound like I know what I am talking about. Anyway I hope you like it anyways. Please review to let me know how was it.
