Waking up was normally such a peaceful time for me; a time to stretch and mentally prepare myself for the day ahead. I was apparently not going to be given that luxury today.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Valentina's angry voice broke through my sleep induced haze, making my eyes snap open. "Please tell me you were just training or something in your bed, and that is why there is blood all over your sheets, Alek!" I stiffened in my mate's arms as he moved to sit up.
"Valentina, you know that sound ridiculous, right?" Alek questioned her, rolling his shoulders and stretching.
"Oh my gods, Aleksandr! How could you do this?" Valentina exclaimed, putting her hands to her head. "Put some clothes on and meet me in the main room." The Alpha of the San Fransisco Pride growled before turning on her heel and slamming the door to my room. Confusion was the only thing I felt right now; my head still foggy from sleep.
I turned and watched Alek get out of bed, he winced slightly as he put weight on his left leg; my eyes zeroed in on his thigh. This was the first time I had seen his mark completely free of blood, and it was beautiful. I smiled as pride made my chest swell; I quickly followed his example, pain shooting through my left leg as it touched the ground making me cry out lightly.
"Are you alright, love?" Alek whispered as he caught me in his arms.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a bit sore." I giggled, blushing at his naked body pressed against mine, focusing on a painting that graced the guest bedroom wall.
"Don't tell me you're nervous around me?" Alek chuckled, grabbing my chin and pulling me towards his lips, a soft peck was all he gave me before pulling away.
"No, not nervous, just a little self conscious?" I muttered, quickly walking towards my dresser, grabbing a pair of blue lace boyshorts and silk nude pushup bra, quickly slipping them on.
"There is nothing for you to be self conscious about. I'm perfectly fine with it." He stated, pointing to his naked form as an example.
"Yes, because you have so much to be embarrassed about, Adonis." I rolled my eyes as I moved toward the closet; flipping the switch and opening the doors.
"I am extremely good looking." Alek nodded, smirking at me. "But then again, so are you." I rolled my eyes at him, opening my mouth to retort.
"ALEK GO TO YOUR ROOM AND GET DRESSED!" Valentina screeched from the other room making Alek roll his eyes before walking towards me. Sweeping me into his arms he leaned his head down, pressing his lips to mine passionately. "I love you." Alek whispered as he pulled away, turning on his heel to walk towards the door.
"I love you too." I smiled as he winked, walking out of my room in his naked glory. Smiling I turned back to my closet.
"OHMYGODS! WHY WOULD YOU WALK AROUND NAKED, ALEK? THAT IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO SEE!" Jasmine yelled in disgust, my eyes widened as I burst out laughing, clutching my side as I sunk to the ground. "ITS NOT FUNNY, CHLOE!" Jasmine shrieked making me laugh even harder. I eventually picked myself off of the floor and continued my search for an outfit. It was harder than normal, as the Mai part of me wanted to pick something that would show off my mark to the world, while my human side was saying that it was too damn cold to wear booty shorts.
I finally picked out a pair of dark washed boyfriend jeans, with a white form fitting button down shirt tucked into the waist. A thick black blazer was thrown over the button down, and I added a pretty bohemian styled red scarf and a pair of black wedged clogs. I went to the bathroom and did my normal routine, brushing my teeth thoroughly and putting on some natural looking makeup. My hair was hopeless this morning so I threw it into a cute messy bun. This outfit was more Amy, but I truly liked how it looked on me, so I shrugged it off and walked into the living room.
My eyes instantly gravitated towards Alek, who was sitting on the couch in another one of his tight long sleeved shirts and a pair of just the right amount of loose jeans. His face was stony as he looked at Valentina; as I took her in I almost took a step back, she looked furious.
"Come Chloe, sit." Valentina stated, motioning towards the couch, I quickly did as she asked. "What in the world possessed the two of you to do this?" Her voice had turned to a hiss.
"Aunt Val, she's my mate! We marked each other, what's the big deal?" Alek shot back at her.
"Chloe is the Uniter Alek!" Valentina exclaimed, looking at her nephew as if she had never seen him before.
"So if Chloe wasn't the Uniter, you wouldn't be mad?" Alek asked looking at his Aunt in disbelief.
"Alek, I am happy that you found your mate, really I am. I'm happy that it is Chloe!" Valentina exclaimed looking at us. "I'm just not happy that you didn't wait until she united our people! Until she was on her last life." Valentina stated looking at Alek, I really hated when she talked about me like I wasn't here.
"Valentina, do you want us to apologize for sleeping together?" I asked in defeat.
"I don't care that you slept together! As long as you still train and use protection, go ahead! Fuck like rabbits!" Valentina exclaimed, my eyes widened slightly. I can not believe that I'm so stupid. Valentina looked between us before her eyes set ablaze, she stood and walked towards Alek, hitting him upside the head harshly. "YOU DIDN'T USE PROTECTION?" Valentina screeched at him. "I though I taught you better than that Aleksandr Viktor Petrov!"
I looked at Alek pleadingly, foolishly begging him to tell me that he had put a condom on, that I just didn't see it; but his eyes met mine, and the look of panic confirmed my fears. "Oh my gods, I think I'm going to be sick." I whispered out pathetically, bringing my knees to my chest.
"Chloe." Alek stated, reaching out for me, trying to reassure me. I would have let him comfort me, would have let him hold me and push away my fears; Valentina's hand smacked his, making him bring it back to his body.
"You two have forced my hand in this." Valentina stated harshly crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm stitching up your marks." She stated. Resentment and anger filled my chest, my eyes blazing as I looked at her. I wasn't quite sure why I was so furious at her, but what she had said was a horrifying possibility.
"Like hell you will!" Alek exclaimed, standing up to his full height about five inches taller than his aunt. "There is no way I'm allowing you to do that! We'll leave!" Alek exclaimed angrily, his eyes blazing as he looked at his aunt.
"Why?" I asked, looking at Alek.
"If she were to stitch up our marks, it would mean that we regret what happened; that we renounce each other and take back the vows we made last night." Alek exclaimed, pointing to his aunt accusingly.
"No!" I exclaimed angrily, standing up. "Tell me the truth Valentina, are you made that we had sex? Or that we didn't use protection? Or that we marked each other?" I asked her, my eyes blazing.
"That you marked each other!" Valentina stated angrily, "And that you didn't use protection but that goes without saying!" She sighed sitting down in one of the many armchairs scattered around the main room of the condo, placing her head in her hands. "Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the two of you. You found your mate and its a very special time. I just wish you would have waited to do this at a better time."
"Why?" Alek asked looking at his aunt, he wanted answers, real ones.
"Because Alek, this puts an even bigger price on your head! The order was already after you, but now? This is going to be so much worse!" Valentina exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.
"How will the Order even know that we've marked each other?" I asked, suddenly nervous.
"The Order knows us Chloe, they know how we mate. You and Alek's body language will give you both away." Valentina explained to me, as if I should know all of this by now.
"Valentina, I will always be standing between Chloe and the Order, regardless of our relationship. There will always be a price on my head, its a part of my life that I've learned to deal with." Alek explained, looking at his aunt pleadingly. "You need to stop thinking like my worried aunt and start thinking like the Alpha of this Pride!"
"Alek!" I hissed at him, unable to believe that he said that to Valentina, I watched as her eyes hardened.
"No Chloe, he is right." Valentina stated, nodding towards her nephew. "This isn't as bad as it could have been, at least the two of you haven't mated."
"But we have mated!" I exclaimed, looking at Alek for confirmation, but he wasn't looking at me.
"We are mates but we haven't mated." Alek stated looking into Valentina's eyes.
"What's the difference?" I asked, suddenly extremely confused.
"Mating isn't the act of having sex, like you think it would be. Mating is when you bite your loves marks, the person you bite doesn't have to be your mate for you to mate with them. When you mark a Mai, you are essentially saying that you're engaged; you vow to mate within the next five years. If the mating doesn't occur within that time period, the marks will fade and you will again be on the market. If you do bite the marks within five years, you are essentially married; and its eternal. The bites nor the marks will ever fade." Valentina explained, turning to look at me with a piercing stare.
"Why would it be bad if Chloe and I mated?" Alek asked, looking at his aunt in a desperate sort of way.
"We don't know how Chloe heals. When she dies the next time, and unfortunately she will die again, we don't know if her marks will heal. We don't know if your marks will fade Alek, or if you will be allowed to mark her again. I suggest that you put off mating until we know what happens. I would rather you both have to learn some restraint, then for Chloe's marks to heal and you both be unable to be together again." Valentina explained.
"But the bite never go away." I whispered quietly.
"Chloe, when you die, Baset heals every blemish and restores you back to a perfect state. I do not believe that she will take away your marks, nor do I believe that she will take you from your mate; but I am not completely certain. I'd rather be safe then sorry, wouldn't you?" Valentina stated, staring us both down.
"Yes." I said, watching Alek nod next to me.
"Good. Now I'm assuming that you don't want to be pregnant yet, Chloe." Valentina stated, looking at me, challenging my judgement.
"No, not yet." I replied.
"Good, then I will go to the pharmacy and get you Plan B, which you will take when you get home." Valentina stated rising from her chair. "I have one condition to this arrangement." She stated as Alek and I began to gather our things to leave.
"That would be... ?" Alek asked, looking towards her.
"Chloe has to get on birth control; and I'm not taking her. I apparently cannot trust you to use protection, so we'll go with the pills." I looked at Valentina in horror.
"That means that I-" I chocked unable to finish my statement.
"Yes, you will have to tell your mother so she can take you to get on the pill." Valentina confirmed. "And I want you to tell her the truth Chloe, that you are no longer a virgin and you need to be put on the pill because you and Alek forgot to use protection. Inform her that when I found out I was furious and went and got you Plan B. I'll be listening when you tell her, and if you don't tell her the truth. I will not be forgiving." Valentina stated as she grabbed her purse and walked out of the door.
My eyes were as wide as saucers, I was having a mini heart attack. There was no way I could tell my mom and her not kill me or forbid me from seeing Alek again. I was hyperventilating as Alek pulled me into his arms, stroking my back lightly trying to calm me down. I melted into him as Jasmine walked into the room.
"I hate both of you." She stated looking at us in annoyance.
"And why is that?" I whispered, knowing she could hear me.
"Because, I had to hear the beginnings of that!" Jasmine exclaimed, pointing in the direction of Alek's room.
"You didn't hear the rest of it?" Alek looked at her in disbelief.
"I went to Amy's!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"You did what?" I yelled, horror etching itself on my face.
"I couldn't take it, so I went to Amy's and I knocked on her window-" Jasmine began explaining.
"I thought she was sleeping on an air-mattress in the living room with her dads." I stated confused.
"They got the plumbing problems fixed so she was allowed to go back to her room." Jasmine shrugged. "So yeah, I told her what I heard and she told me I could stay."
"Ohmygods you told Amy that Alek and I were sleeping together." I whispered hoarsely. Jasmine nodded and I just walked numbly out of the door preparing myself mentally for the day a head.
Chapter 10 (Alek's P.O.V.)
School wasn't nearly as bad as Chloe thought it was going to be, Crazy Amy wasn't as bad as Chloe thought she was going to be. I naturally listened to them whispering across the cafeteria as I sat with my human friends, who were talking about a party coming up this weekend.
"OHMIGOD Chloe! You're not a virgin anymore!" Amy squealed quietly so no one would hear her.
"Shut up Amy! I don't want anyone to hear you." Chloe whispered back, looking around.
"Chloe, we are invisible as ever. So, was it any good?" Amy asked in excitement, it unnerved me that she could talk about how I preformed in bed in front of her boyfriend; wait I take that back, he probably wanted to know as well.
"He's so listening right now, let me text it to you." Chloe smirked as she pulled out her phone and typed her reply to Amy who squealed when she read it, Paul reading it over her shoulder. I rolled my eyes as I turned back towards my friends.
"Alek, man; I thought we lost you!" Mike chuckled as he noticed that they again held my attention.
"Sorry, I was... thinking." I stated, putting my usual smirk back where it belonged.
"About the piece of ass you got last night." Terry chuckled, high-fiving Mike.
"What?" I asked, looking at them in confusion.
"Dude, you're back is fucked up." Evan, one of the other guys on the basketball them stated.
"Yeah man, I couldn't help but look when you were changing for P.E." Mike shrugged.
"Yeah, man, there were scratches all over you." Evan chuckled.
"Just because neither of you can get any, doesn't mean you have to watch me; its kind of creeping me out." I stated rolling my eyes.
"Dude, he obviously banged Chloe King; leave him be he doesn't want to talk about it." Davin chuckled, lightly punching Alek in the arm.
"So what if I did, she's my girl man; I can do whatever I want." Alek smirked, turning to look at her as she smiled and text Amy, who was fanning herself.
"What do you mean she's your girl?" Alexis exclaimed, looking at him in horror.
"Yes Alexis, she's my girlfriend." I stated looking the red head in the eyes.
"But-" She started, her eyes welling up with fake tears.
"Alexis, get over it." I stated. "I really don't like you." I chuckled standing up and walking over to my girlfriend, my mate. I smirked as the eyes of the school turned to watch me, as usual. Grabbing Chloe's arm, I pulled her carefully out of her seat and turning her to face me. She looked at me with her standard look of 'don't you dare,' but since when have I listened to her? I shrugged, crashing my lips to hers; smirking in satisfaction as I heard Alexis screech like the banshee she is.
I don't think I write very well from Alek's Point of View... OH WELL!
