"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 claiming you" Seth muttered.

"It's fine...I'm glad you claimed me. But I mean, did you actually want to claim 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 second later 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" I commented 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 accepted, no matter what we are bound for life". He didn't look too happy.

"Do you wish you hadn't claimed 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. It landed on the bed next to me. "My instincts are going to be all over the place with you today. So please wear my shirt and just stay with Dean".

"My father isn't going to be happy with this" I commented, as I pulled the shirt on. It was so large 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 you later".

"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 minutes later 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.

Dean looked over the shirt I was wearing before walking over and pulling the collar away from my neck. I
