The weather was perfect for running, or jumping around on roof to roof, Instead I was stuck in that awful nightmare when you're having dinner with the In-Laws. The mom that is trying to accept that her baby girl is gone and then dad that will never accept that this boy (me) as claimed his baby girl. "So, How was school?" Chloe's mom asked looking around at Chloe's dad who demanded that he sit in perfect view of Chloe and me. Mostly, me. Little did he know I was going to make out with his daughter after this. Upstairs. In her bed, because he couldn't do anything about it. Or maybe, We could go back to my place and we could do the same thing. Either way, this guy who walked out on Chloe couldn't do anything about it.

"It was fine, I guess" Chloe said, Meredith and I had come a long way from the boy in my daughter's bed to the boy my daughter was going to marry and one day have little kids with. She loved me, she spent most of her time making sure Chloe and I had whatever we needed including space. "No one saw my-" she cut herself off looking at her father. He didn't exactly know that I had bonded with his daughter.

"Oh that's good" Meredith knew what she was talking about and also knew that we weren't going to say anything else about it until later. School was now out the window of being talked about. I was hoping that the baby talk got brought up tonight because that would only upset Chloe's dad even more than he already was.

"I expect that nothing is going on between you two, you're only good friends" Where the Hell has this man been, I clearly made out with his daughter right in front of him- My Aunt had chewed him out for even questioning our relationship, and kicked him out of our house. Bossing me around like I'm just some punk kid. Aha, I could claw him up like a couch in seconds. Meredith tried to make him shut up but he was ignorant about everything. "Well?"

"Dad, Alek's my boyfriend" And you're soul mate, and you're bondee anything else I need to add to that would make her dad mad... Like the future father of her children (Very distant Future)

"Your boyfriend? Who gave you permission to date?" Permission to date? Your kid is part of an ancient race, and the Uniter. I doubt she needs permission to date.

"I did" Meredith said with the authority she did have, she could control Chloe's whole life until Chloe was eight-teen. Yet, she saw what use that could do seeing as Chloe wasn't a normal human 16 year old, like her dad was treating her.

"I see" I hoped this man would finally stop questioning anything that had to do with how I felt, Speaking of feelings I could feel Chloe getting nervous and aggravated with her dad. I put my hand on her leg looking in her eyes trying to calm her down. I don't know how I could do that seeing as I was angry that this man just walks in and is like 'I can control your life' "What are you doing?" He pointed to me with his nasty fork. I was seriously stuck in some kind of Hell.

"If you really want to know-" I started to say until Meredith cut me off.

"Alek" She warned using that motherly voice that she had given Chloe so many times.

"Sorry" I said to her, and her only because that was the last thing this ass hole needed from me "You're stressing her out" I stated simply.

"I'm stressing her out? How can you possibly know how she feels." He laughed and turned to Chloe "Am I stressing you out?" He was a little scary actually, he was making Chloe so frustrated. I knew Chloe wanted this to be a good dinner that contained normal things, not a full on questioning of feelings. I could question his feelings, and his motives right back.

"Why did you come back here?" I asked him in my most demanding tone, the more that I got pissed the more that British accent came out that made me sound like Harry Potter.

"That's none of you're business" His tone made me want to rip out his throat, one scratch at a time until he bled out on the table.

"I just want to know since it is my job to protect Chloe at all costs" More than he's ever done for her, I mean he did take her from that place. She could have died there. Then to leave her when she was six with Meredith who had no idea was cruel.

"I don't like you" He said to me.

"Way to be honest" I didn't mean to be so sarcastic he was just pushing my buttons the wrong way this time.

"Get out" I felt Chloe's worry and the rate of her anger spike up when he said that.

"This is my house" Meredith said "This is my table, and that is my son" Woah, Go Meredith. "Now you can kick up out of the house and pretend nothing is going on but you're wrong. He means everything to Chloe, and he won't walk out on her. Ever. His job is to protect her from anything and everyone and he's done a good job at making sure she doesn't die again."

"And We're bonded!" Chloe piped in at the greatest time, I sat back crossing my arms watching the show start.

"Bonded?" For someone that had so much knowledge about the Mai he didn't know a thing about how we mated, Chloe wasn't going to explain to him or show him her mark she just left it at that. We. Were. Bonded. I wasn't.

"Get this" I said pulling off my shirt turning my back to him. I was quite proud of those claw marks etched perfectly in black on my back. The mark of Chloe King, the Uniter. "We're married the Mai way" That was the easiest definition that I had for him.

"Married? You got married!" He turned to Chloe, I thought he was going to hit her. If he did I was going to slam his head so hard against the table he would be in a Coma for months.

"Yes I got married, a lot happens in ten years doesn't it Dad" She took my hand as I put my shirt back on and we left Meredith and him to talk. "That felt so good" Chloe squealed, Her heart was pumping as the adrenaline of the moment settled down. She stopped bouncing on her feet when we were half way down the street. That didn't say much though she jumped in my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist kissing me on the mouth, I felt the excitement and the overwhelming urge in her to do this. I put my hands on her back for support. When she was done kissing me in the middle of the road she started telling me about her day, and then she apologized for putting me in that situation in the first place.

"It's not a problem" I said, when it really was a big problem and if she ever did it again to me it would be complete murder in her house. It really was no use at all to lie to her, she knew every little thing that I was feeling inside. Including the want I had for her at the moment. Just the way she seemed to dance instead of walk made me want her. She smiled back at me, I tried to tap into how she was feeling but what I was feeling seemed to be too strong to focus. What she was wearing had made the dinner start off bad. The short pair of dressy looking shorts with a white shirt tucked into them. She looked hot, and stylish. Amy and Jasmine had helped her pick it out though.

"How is it that we have managed to be such a cliche" She twirled "Basket ball jock falls for no body girl"

"You're not a no body, you were just off limits... And very very hard to get" She laughed at me, she really did have this thing where I had to work for whatever I got in school. Not that anything ever happened in school.

"I am not hard to get" She tried to tell me but I wasn't listening anymore to her. I was scanning the area for any danger, I still had a job to do even if it was taking away from everything else in my life- like my relationship. She had stopped twirling and walking completely but I hadn't noticed until I ran into her. "Day dreaming?" She asked flirting with me.

"A little" I decided that the area was safe and I pulled her into a kiss that she couldn't break away from. I felt the smirk on my face that appeared every time I talked to her or every time I said something slightly sexy. It took us an extra ten minutes to get back to the hotel/ Apartment whatever anyone wanted to call it because of us not being up to keep our hands to ourselves. Guilty me, whatever. We were in the hallway and I had had enough of her feelings that she needed me, need and want were not two feelings that mixed with each other inside of us. I lost control and pinned her against the wall, hard enough she'd understand the urgency and soft enough it wouldn't hurt her. We started making out and all I knew is we needed to get inside the room. I somehow opened the door and got inside breaking away for a few seconds to pull her in my room.

"Well I guess Chloe and Alek are back" Jasmine said to her mom who just sighed, I went back to what I was doing. I kissed her neck and up her jaw line to her mouth trying so hard to control myself, this would turn out bad if I didn't. Broken bed, broken room, broken door from Valentina being furious. I tried those breathing things that barely ever worked with anyone. I tried stopping myself from kissing her but her face and her mood only made it so much harder to control myself. Her hair was scattered around her head and her eyes were shifting back and forth at incredible speed. Blue to green, blue to green. Her mouth invited me with her own Chloe smirk, Her cheeks were flushed with what was happening. My claws were trying to retract by her head but I was fighting that too.

"Stop fighting your instincts" I felt like she just quoted Valentina, that was enough to calm me down. My heart was still beating at a rate that was probably unhealthy and I was still leaning on top of her perfect figure. My breathing was more of a pant as she got sat up pushing me to the side of her. I had effected Chloe as well, her heart beat was hard not to hear after focusing only on it for so many nights. Her breathing was like she had just ran seven hundred miles in ten minutes.

"Chloe" I said barely getting it out without taking a deep breath "Wow" We were both laying on our backs like that when the door bell rang, Chloe groaned knowing if the person didn't just walk in it was someone annoying, or Amy... I hoped she didn't bring Paul.

"Where's Chloe?" Chloe looked at me, Hell... I was shirtless again. We worked fast. Amy just walked in with Jasmine's

"Amy I don't think you want to go in there" At least she was warned before she walked in.

"Oh my God, What happened?" Like it wasn't obvious what was going to happen in here. "Wait, Do I want to know?"

"No" Chloe said getting up from the bed, hitting me in the chest. Looking back at me winking. I wanted to smother myself, she was such torture. The good kind of torture. It was a sick mai thing, and even human thing. She was such a tease. I put my shirt on and followed after them. "Why are you here?"

"Your dad paid me fifty bucks to come over here, so I took the fifty and now I'm going to tell him that nothing was going on here- Like I hope nothing was going on here"

"Oh just the normal episode of mating like wild animals on Animal Planet" Jasmine joked with Amy who got that disgusted look on her face "You should hear them" I think Jasmine had made herself sick by saying that.

"We aren't that bad, we're studying" Chloe said "That's it"

"Yeah without the books or notes in Alek's bed" I looked around for Paul, he was standing there harassing Valentina... Yet, she didn't look upset she was pleased that someone wanted to hear some history after all I could care less, Unless it concerned Chloe.

"Hey, I'm not complaining I learn a lot from Chloe" Everyone's face including Paul's and Aunt Val's face except Chloe's paled. Chloe was just laughing to herself.

"No but Alek is an excellent teacher" I think they were starting to turn a shade of green, I tilted my head and purred at Chloe.

"I'm about to leave" Amy said looking at both of us "That is the sickest thing I have ever heard in my life" Chloe blushed and we returned back to a normal conversation. At least the girls did, I couldn't stop watching Chloe's hair behind her shoulders and the way she would laugh at certain things. I knew she was in touch with how she was making me react because she kept turning to me with a little grin on her face.

"Tease" I said out loud making all of them look at Chloe and me again. A roomful of ew's went around to everyone and I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

Me: You're horrible

Chloe: Me? I didn't do a thing

Me: It's on

Chloe: Deal, but don't come crying to me when you lose!
