Chapter 6

"Seth, dude, Alpha Peters is here" Dean''s voice called out. Seth moved away from me, blood around
his face as my hand instantly went up and covered my neck.
"I''ll be down in a minute" Seth called back, looking both breathless and nervous. We heard Dean walk
away, as I sat up on the bed. I was still shirtless, as was Seth, but I didn''t feel exposed. "I''m sorry, I
should have asked before iming you" Seth muttered.
"It''s fine...I''m d you imed me. But I mean, did you actually want to im me? Do you actually
want me to be your mate?" I frowned. My neck had stopped bleeding, but it was sore. I moved my hand
away and Seth frowned at the blood there.
"Wait there" he said, ignoring my question. He walked into the en suite bathroom, and a secondter
came out with wet towel. He cleaned my hand, neck and shoulders of blood before cleaning his own
mouth and neck.
"You didn''t answer my question" Imented self-consciously.
"Because I don''t know my answer yet" he admitted truthfully. "I''m confused right now, May, let me just
have some time to adjust. You''re my mate. The mark has been epted, no matter what we are bound
for life". He didn''t look too happy.
"Do you wish you hadn''t imed me now?"
"I don''t know, May, I just said that. Stop with all the questions" he snapped, standing up and moving
away from the bed. He walked over to a duffle bag on the other side of the room and pulled a shirt out.
He unfolded it before throwing it at me. Itnded on the bed next to me. "My instincts are going to be all
over the ce with you today. So please wear my shirt and just stay with Dean".
"My father isn''t going to be happy with this" Imented, as I pulled the shirt on. It was sorge that it
fell to my knees.
"I don''t want to talk about that right now" Seth shook his head, pulling on a clean shirt himself. "I need
to go. I''ll see youter".
"Will you?" I asked, feeling like a clingy idiot. Seth looked over to me and sighed heavily. He quickly
walked over to the bed and cupped my face.
"You''re my mate". He kissed my lips quickly, before moving away from me and walking out the room. A
few minutester I followed him out the room and downstairs. Seth had left with Alpha Parker and his
Beta; who''d I''d not actually spoken to or even found out the name of yet.
"Where''s the jailbait?" Dean asked someone from the kitchen. I frowned at the newest nickname, but I
walked in, awkwardly fiddling with the bottom of my shirt. "Oh hey kid" he grinned at me.
"Seth said I have to stay with you today" I informed him with a frown. Ollie and Jenson were also in the
kitchen, sat down eating breakfast. Dean looked over the shirt I was wearing before walking over and
pulling the cor away from my neck. I pped his hand away and subconsciously pulled the shirt over
my im mark.
"Fuck off Dean" I barked at him.
Dean turned to his friends, "ten bucks Seth''s in jail for statutory rape by the end of the week" he
mused, they allughed.
"That''s not funny" I shouted at them, blushing brightly.
"It''s a little funny, kid. Your actual jailbait. If Seth''s not careful he could damage his future fucking
around with you".
"Why are you being such an ass?" I snapped angrily at Dean. He just gave me a bright grin.
"Because it pleases me".
"May are you hungry?" Ollie asked, sending Dean a death look. I nodded and he instantly grabbed a
te and served me some eggs and bacon. I silently sat down and began to eat – the silence was
awkward and I suddenly wished I''d gone to school.

I was happy that Seth had finally acknowledged that I was his mate, and he''d imed me, but I still
didn''t think he wanted me as a mate. I felt used and insecure. Seth made me feel ugly and immature –
a mate was supposed to make you feel loved, but Seth made me feel like the opposite. I was a burden
to him, a burden he wasn''t even attracted to.
"You''ve hardly touched your food" Jenson observed, as I put my fork down and slid my chair back.
"I''m not as hungry as I thought" Imented, standing up and moving out the room.
"Jailbait" Dean called after me, but I ignored him. I headed out the house and I heard him following me.
"Jailbait,e on" heughed, finding something amusing. I didn''t find anything amusing.
"Leave me alone, Dean".
"Where are you going?"
"Home. Somewhere you can''te, if you follow me there and I''ll call my dad and he''ll kick your ass" I
snapped at him. But Dean followed me all the way home anyway – calling me Jailbait and annoying
me. "Go fuck yourself" I shouted at him, mming the door shut. Luckily he didn''t follow me into the
house.
I looked outside and noticed he was out there on the phone, pacing up and down the side of my house.
So I rushed up to my bedroom, opening the window quietly so I could sneakily listen to the
conversation.
"Seth, I''m not a babysitter" Dean sighed into his mobile. I pouted in annoyance. "Well you obviously do
care about her if you marked her" he added. "Well no matter how much you don''t want her as your
mate, you''ve marked her" Dean snapped. I felt rejection swirl inside my stomach.
"Am I really that bad?" I whispered quietly to myself. At my words, no matter how soft, made Dean look
up. He saw me at my bedroom window and sighed, looking at me with sympathy in his eyes.
"I have to go Seth. I''ll see youter" Dean said, hanging up. He looked up at me, with his hands on his
hips for a moment, before raising an eyebrow. "Are you going to let me in or am I going to have break
in again?"
I was silent for a few moments, before walking back downstairs and letting him inside. I was a mess of
confusion, sadness, rejection and anger. Seth blew more hot and cold than the damn weather. I wished
I knew what he thought about me – but I didn''t think that Seth really knew what he thought about me,
and thereiny our main problem.
I sat silently in my living room as Dean flicked his feet up onto the table and flicked the TV on. He
watched quietly, texting on his phone, while his eyes periodically checked on me. I was being so quiet,
he had to make sure I hadn''t suddenly disappeared.
"You''re awfully quiet" Dean finally said, after about an hour of pointlessly watching TV. I simply

shrugged at his words. "I hardly know you, kid, but I can tell you ain''t normally this quiet".
"What are you a damn shrink?" I growled at him.
He smirked at me, "I like you kid, you''ve got spunk and attitude. And I''m all for the whole brooding
teenage, I don''t give a fuck, vibe – but whether you like it or not, you''re going to be the Equinox Luna
and I''m the Equinox third, meaning I''m going to be your guard. So why don''t you drop this whole pitbull
act you''ve got going on and talk to me?"
I gave him a long look for a minute before speaking. "I supposed you want me to talk about my feelings
while I braid your hair and paint your nails".
Deanughed again, "yeah we''ll get on just fine, kid".
When lunchtime came around, my father came home to check on me – he was not happy with what he
found. "I can smell him all over you" he roared, storming over to me and pulling the cor down to
expose my im mark. "How dare he touch you like this".
"He''s an Alpha, you''re lucky he hasn''t mated her yet" Deanmented, getting a re from me for
angering my father further.
"She''s sixteen" my father snarled at the third inmand.
"I get that, but all I''m saying is that Seth is an Alpha. You''re a Beta, surely you understand how
possessive Alpha''s are – especially one as strong and dominant as Seth. He''s imed his mate, you
should be counting yourself lucky that is all he''s done" Dean exined calmly – his jovial persona
pushed to the side.
"She''s too young for mating".
"But you cannot me Alpha Zev for his actions. They''re mates, it isn''t his fault just like it isn''t May''s
fault. They have a strong connection, stronger than most mates because they both have strong
bloodlines".
I listened silently, thinking that it wasn''t Seth''s fault we were mates but thinking it was Seth''s fault about
everything else – because he was a dick. A massive dick.
"Mabel, what do you think of Alpha Zev?" my father asked me, dark eyes looking at me seriously.
"I hate him" I snapped.
"Really?" he asked in shock.
Sighing I shook my head, "no I don''t hate him I just...no, yeah, I hate him".
My father nodded slowly, "right I see. I need to go back to the Alphas...I especially need to speak to
Alpha Zev". He made a move towards the door, frowning while looking at Dean and I again, before
opening the door.
"Tell Seth I hate him" I shouted after my father.
Dean roared out augh, "yeah, you and I will get on great".
