Alex flinched from Mark's cold fingertips and moved away still with his chest exposed. He looked at his friend with a confused look and himself tried to touch that part on his shoulder expecting to feel something there, like a bump or scratch but he felt nothing.
"Dude, there is a tattoo on your shoulder" Mark exclaimed and Alex looked at him with his green eyes wide open.
"A what?" He asked
"A tattoo. It's a gold drawing, it looks like a sun I think"
"A sun? Wait how did I…"
"Are you decent?" Someone called out from the other side of the room and knocked a few times. Alex was too stunned to reply and the door suddenly opened revealing who they had assumed was the alpha's right hand man or something. Assistant or secretary?
"I am Daniel the Alpha's Beta the Alpha will see you…" He started wanting to say something but his eyes got glued instantly to Alex's new found mark. He stood still for a while completely quiet when he just turned on his heels and ran away not saying a single word.
"This can't be good" Mark mumbled and Alex finally decided that it was time to wear his T-shirt. "Do you remember anyone marking you like that? While they were tormenting you or something?" Mark asked and Alex shook his head in denial.
He had no idea when he could've gotten that tattoo Mark was referring to. He couldn't even see what it was or how it looked like. He had never felt the slightest pain at that part of his body and when he felt it with his fingertips there was nothing different about the skin there.
"Even if they had marked e here while I was unconscious why would he be surprised about it? Is it really ugly?" Alex asked with a sad look. After everything that happened the last thing that was missing from this deadly adventure was him dying with a badly made tattoo on his back that he didn't even know where he got it from. He let out a sigh and turned around lifting the shirt, giving Mark a chance to examine it again. "How ugly is it?"
"It's not…it's not ugly actually it's beautiful. It's a golden sun with flaming ends inside two thin circles. I actually never seen something so pretty before."
Mark pushed down Alex's shirt and straightened it neatly as he moved at the corner of the room to pick up the chair he had thrown away. He sat at it being a bit wobbly but he certainly needed some time to think. Usually tattoos did not appear out of nowhere and especially while you were on the run from the police and an angry pack of wolves that wanted to kill you. If he had gone on some vacation of crazy partying and drinking on Las Vegas, he would think it was at least a bit reasonable but at the moment Mark was filing that incident with everything else that seemed slightly supernatural.
"This is not normal"
"No shit Sherlock" Alex exclaimed and rubbed his temples. "Why me God, why? We are going to die in a bit and now this? This Daniel guy run out frantic once he saw the stupid mark so it must be something and I can't even see it!" He shouted
"We need to calm down and think. From all of our supernatural knowledge what could this be?"
"I don't think that having watched Buffy the vampire slayer makes us qualified to recognize what this shit is Mark."
"I've watched the vampire diaries too" his friend joked wanting to lighten up the mood a bit but he only achieved to agitate Alex even more.
The brunet ran up to the door and tried frantically to unlock it. He pushed and pulled the doorknob and even tried to throw his body at the door in an attempt to break it but opening that old door was actually harder than it seemed.
"Stop Alex stop, You've already been injured enough, you will break your shoulder!" Mark shouted and grabbed him, taking him away from the door.
"Why?" He asked "Why does this have to happen to me? Just because I liked a guy" He wanted to get it out of his system. Punch something r kick a ball. Start screaming anything would be okay. He felt like a storm was bottling inside him. Like he had a little jar on his chest that had trying to keep contain a typhoon. The fragile glass had lasted way too long and he could now feel the cracks forming, spreading.
His friend patted his back. He didn't have any smart or funny lines to say. No one really knew why something like this was happening. Why to them. Fate was tricky and played cruel games. The sure thing was that they had entered a new world. A world they wouldn't get out that easily or soon. Maybe even never.
They both heard footsteps while Alex was trying to calm himself and both head snapped, immediately looking at the door that got opened with a loud bang.
Luke's dad, the Alpha appeared in front of them, looking and noticing only Alex with his icy eyes. He grabbed his arm and violently turned him around and with only one hand he ripped his T-shirt into two pieces. He could swear he heard a gasp of surprise as he looked at his back but he couldn't see and the worry was too big for him to be able to focus. Slowly everything around him was turning and as he felt the bone crushing grip of Adam's on his arm.
He let him go after a while pushing him forward. Feeling utterly exposed he wrapped his arms around his exposed torso shivering from the tension, the fear. The man in front of him could with just one look make him have a heart attack. He felt so small in front of him and he knew that he could knock him out with just a slap s even though he really wanted to know what was that mark. What was actually going on he didn't speak. He couldn't if he wanted to. His throat was dry and he was looking at that man like a deer in front of headlights until he spoke. His voice shook him up and made him focus. He could get at least some information.
He wasn't speaking to him, or to Mark who almost seemed to be nonexistent to him. He turned around to his second in command who was standing at the door frame with his hands crossed over his chest.
"Put this red head with my son and Mikael and restrain them for now. No one told us this thing was A Child of the Veil" Adam said almost spitting the last words like they were an insult.
What was a child of the Veil? Alex wondered as his heart almost broke from the anxiety.
