I'm An Alpha's What?!

Bates

Chapter 12

Bates

I sit on Dustin and I's bed with my knees against my chest. The soreness of the mark that the Demigod left has my shoulders tensed. Dustin had called Tucker to inform him about what happened and to get Eric and my father. Now I watch as he paces back and forth in front of the bed, running his fingers through his hair. Suddenly, he becomes still, staring at the wall blankly. He then sighs turning to me, "Eric and Tucker are here, your father will be here later." 

I nod laying my forehead onto my knees, sighing deeply. I feel instant warmth as Dustin wraps his arms around me, tightly. "We will figure something out, no matter what we will." He whispers into my ear, leaning his head onto my tense shoulder. I relax slightly but jump as someone knocks on our bedroom door. "Come in." Dustin says not moving from his position from the bed. 

Tucker first walks in scanning the room a little, Eric walks behind him and looks directly at me. "Maxine..." he whispers as he makes his way towards me and Dustin pulls me closer to him. "What happened?" Eric asks looking at Dustin. My mate doesn't say a word as he brushes the hair away from my neck to show the mark from the Demigod. "When you kill the Demigod that's trying to mate with you, they will haunt your dreams and he left this." I say staring, blankly at the blanket on the bed. 

Soon a familiar face blocks my view of the blanket, staring at me with his sad eyes. Tucker gently touches my hand but pulls away as Dustin growls. His possessive growl sends good shivers down my spine. Since Dustin has marked me his wolf has been more on edge than ever. I lean against him completely and draw circle designs on his arm to calm him and his wolf. I yawn slightly, my eyes getting heavy as tiredness consumes me. "No Max don't go to sleep-" I hear Eric say as my eyes snap shut and darkness is all I see. 

*****************

I  open my eyes to see me standing in the living room of Dustin and I's house. Confused, I look around the room searching for anything out of place. "Maxy." I hear Dustin's voice whisper and I instantly tense up. I feel a hand  glide across my neck where the Demigod  left his mark and I jump away. I turn around fast to see Dustin, the Demigod, standing there with a smirk. "Did you know I can make you sleep for as long as I want? I could make you sleep for a thousand years." The Demigod says as he takes slow strides towards me. 

"But I'm not going to do that unless I need to punish you." He says as he's suddenly right in front of me. I swallow hard and resist the urge to slap him. "What exactly would I have to do?" I ask, making eye contact with him. His smirk widens as he cups the side of my cheek. I go to pull away but he grabs onto my chin tightly. "You can't pull away, you must do everything I say." The Demigod growls at me and I glare at him. 

"Nothing sexual." I growl, giving him an even harder look. The Demigod smiles and lets go of me. "I couldn't even if I wanted to, your marked." 

We stand in silence for a while before I look away, crossing my arms. "Do you even have a name?" I ask even surprising myself with the question. He rises his eyebrows in surprise but smirks. "Yes I do but it has been so long since I've been called by it." The Demigod says sitting down on the couch, leaning back like he owns the place. "Bates is the name." He says closing his eyes. 

"Suits you." I retort still standing in my spot. Bates chuckles at my comment, peaking open one eye. "Sit down Maxy." He commands and I hesitate but do. I sit on the love seat, far away from Bates. Suddenly, Bates is right beside me in a blink of an eye.

"If only you loved Eric this would have never happened." He whispers in my ear. Bates hand comes to move my hair away from my neck to look at his mark. I see him smirk in the corner of my eye, as I tense under his touch. "I guess you've been asleep long enough." Bates mumbles and I glance at him.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"A whole day, Maxy." He says with a grin and I want to slap that grin off his face. "But it feels like its only been thirty minutes." I say as I feel Bates hand at my waist. "Don't they always?" He chuckles pulling my shirt up slightly.

"What are doing?!" I shout as I try to pull away. Bates looks at me annoyed. "If you want to wake up, I have to bite you like last time." He says bluntly as I see his fangs peak out. Before I can say anything else I feel fangs piercing into my side and I let out a scream.

************

I sit up quickly, panting for breathe as I feel a burning in my side. "Maxine." I hear his voice and I relax a little. I take in my surroundings as I calm myself down. I'm still on my bed but Dustin, Eric, Tucker, Teresa, and my parents are surrounding the bed.

I groan as I lift my shirt to find another mark from the Demigod that says, "Remember the rules, Maxy".

"The Demigod did that?" I hear my mother's voice and I look up at her. There are tears in her eyes and it makes tears prick mine. I nod slowly and I soon feel Dustin's arms around me. "He has to bite me, it allows me to wake up." I say into Dustin's chest. "The Demigod-" I cut Eric off.

"Bates. The Demigod's name is Bates."
