You Bare My Mark ( My Mate Series)

12 - Chapter Twelve - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View

When I woke up I was in bed alone, I figured forest hand left to go to school. I was right he had left for school. I crawled out of bed and went on a hunt to find food. The baby had started to be able to kick about a week ago and it was magical. Forest was excited. He was just buzzing about the baby kicking. He was taking this whole baby thing so well. I had no fears about him being a bad father, all the fears about parenting were with me.

My parents were made aware of their going to be born grandchild a few days ago and they were not all that happy that they had only been finding out right now. I said I was sorry and told them it was because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to actually carry a child. Also, I didn't want them to be mad. I was carrying a child in the middle of the war.

My mother told me to stop worrying and it will be fine, she said that even she had these same fears when she was carrying me. She said she would come to see me the moment she was free of all the things she had to do well. My father settled the war. Lucca had given my people more land and told them to be wise and not greedy with the land. Lucca and Em had been coming over far more to keep me company well Forest was at school, Forest and I were happy together, he was excited about being a father and he couldn't wait to meet his child.

Em brought me baby clothing for our baby and that sent Kane running with teary eyes about how he could remember when his children were still babies. Quinn could only laugh as his husband and mate turned into a softy.

I walked down the stairs to hear a very angry Quinn yelling and doors slamming, it had to only be like eleven am why were they yelling. I went to find out what all the screaming was about. When I walked down the hall I laid my eyes on a Forest with yellow eyes and bloody clothing. My first instinct was to baby him and I tried but he pushed me away and went to shower.

I stood there stunned that he pushed me away from him. I went to find Quinn and when I found him he was in tears, his head in his hands. I'd never felt such sadness from him and it broke my heart. I walked quickly over to him and hugged him.

" Quinn, what's wrong?”

" Your mate, he punched a teacher and they want to take him to a reform center to learn how to behave"

" What did the teacher do?"

" The teacher was the history teacher and the teacher told forest that the alpha war was only won because the vampires grew too uncontrollable and rabid and they were put down.”

" That's not true and I won't let forest fall for something that means a lot to him."

" Thanatos, what are you going to do? They want to take him away in a few days for over a year."

"1 won't allow that, I will go to his trial and I will go to the school right now and speak to the teacher.”

Before Quinn could say anymore I walked up the stairs and waited for Forest to get out of the shower when he did I told him to get dressed. He got dressed and asked what I was doing. I told him we were going to the school and we were going to have a long talk with this teacher. His face looked shocked but he nodded his head and followed me out to the car. He said nothing the entire ride, when we got to the school the principal tried to stop Forest from entering but I told him to hold his tongue unless he wanted to get into with me again.

We walked to the teachers’ classroom, there were kids that were staring and gasping because they knew who I was. I saw my nephews and they waved before telling me I looked good, and they couldn't wait for their new cousin. I walked to the teacher's classroom and just about had a heart attack when I saw who the teacher was. My uncle's eyes met mine and I saw the bruise on his cheek and I tried hard to suppress a laugh but It was flooded from my lips.

" Thanatos, what are you laughing at my nephew?"

" The bruise my lover left on your cheek."

" Ah, so he spoke the truth then, the young alpha is your mate. but he said nothing about his bun in your oven."

"It's new, and you do realize because of you my mate is going to be taken away from me and if that happens I will take everything away from you, do you understand me, uncle Merck."

"Oh Than, I won't send your mate away, I made the alpha angry so that I could see you, if you were truly his mate I knew you would run here and rescue him.” my uncle said waving his hands around in the air. "You made his mother worry and I won't allow you to make him cry.” Forest walked into the room and his face was smug, he wrapped his arms around my waist. I stared at him and then tried to tackle him but Forest held me in place, reminding me I was carrying a child and attacking him was too dangerous to his pups’ health and mine. After my uncle and I and Forest all talked he took us to the office and dropped the charges and said it was a mistake and the principal shot me a dirty look and my uncle turned around and slammed the principal against the wall and told him to be more respectful to the people who gave him the job.

Forest and I went home, he was suspended for a few days but that was a given because he punched a teacher. Forest and I spent the rest of the day cuddling and going through baby names and clothing. My uncle had a flair for the dramatics and I knew this but all that just to see if I was Forest's mate like he had actually said. That was a new low for my uncle.

Forest was relaxing on the couch a few hours later when I decided to call my parents and find out how the war was going and if they needed anything from me. They didn't answer my call and that annoyed me deeply but I honestly wasn't all that surprised by the whole thing. My parents ignored me all the time. My parents were always too busy for any of their children but it didn't stop them from having more when they wanted to.

Sitting beside Forest on the couch he smiled at me before going back to watching his T.V program. Whatever he was watching was mildly funny and I also found myself watching it after a few moments. Quinn had taken Kane out on a long run so that he didn’t tan Forests hide for punching one of the teachers. Even though it wasn't fully his fault.
