Both Mj and Seth get back into the car and both sighed in relief as the day was finally over. Seth was on his final call of the day.

"Yes, I told him to send it to me yesterday... He didn't? Oh right...." 

M.j. Decided to look out the window and watch the trees go by but something was bothering her. She didn't know what is what is was but she somehow is convinced that being next to Seth will make her feel better. 

She starts shifting her body over to him inch by inch and eventually nuzzled her way into him. She had a sigh of relief, she did feel a lot better. Almost to a point where she felt sleepy. 

"Okay...." Seth glances over and wraps his arm around M.J. to nuzzle her in closer. She wraps her arm around his waist to get in a more comfortable position. "Thank you, I wont be free for the rest of the day... So call in me in the morning." He looks down and smiles slightly at M.J. snuggled perfectly in him. "Okay thank you... Bye." He hangs up the phone, "Sleepy?" 

"Mhmmm..." she makes a noise. 

He makes another phone call, "Martha... Cancel plans... We will be eating at home.... Nothing is wrong.... She is burrowing.... I know, Im telling her tonight. Thanks Martha." 

"Why are you canceling the plans?" She murmurs as she clings onto him tighter. 

"You are too tired to do anything. We can rest at home. Don't worry." Something about this is bothering Seth. But he couldn't figure out why.

She sighs, "Okay." 

She falls asleep in the car and when they both get home,  Seth picks her up in a lover leap and walks her inside. Martha stands by the door with a soft endearing sort of look as she watches Seth bringing a sleeping M.J. 

"Can you draw her a bath?" Seth asks Martha. 

"Right away." She runs. 

He takes her to her room and lays her in bed, She starts squirming around. "Seth.... Seth...." She calls out in a whisper. 

"I am here, Mal." He says as he sits on her bed run his finger through her hair as she finally settled down. 

Martha comes out of the bathroom, "Oh my goodness, Seth. She could be...." 

"I think she is..." Seth says still gazing at her. "But it doesn't make sense...." 

"Why?" 

Alphas can't be soulmates with other alphas, he thought. Instead of saying it out loud he looks up at Martha  and smiles, "I mean someone like me having a soulmate? I mean who would believe it?" 

Martha's face turns into a frown, "Don't say that! Now lets get her into the bath...." 

Seth stands outside the bathroom as she gets settles in, "Now M.J. please be reasonable!" Martha begs. 

"Where is Seth? I don't want to!" Seth chuckles to himself, It like she is a child. 

"Seth will come in after you get undressed and take a bath." 

"ACK the water is too hot!" 

"Hold on! Hold on!" Seth rubs his face trying to hold it together. 

After a minute it gets quiet, Martha slowly opens the door, "My god..." and walks out scarred by what took place. 

Seth walks in to find M.J. playing in bubbles fully submerged from the neck down, "Hey." 

She just looks at him with eyes longing for him to touch her again. He sits beside her, "How are you feeling?" 

"Tired... But i'm better now. I don't what came over me..." 

Seth places his hand on the side of her face and kisses her lightly, "We need to talk." 

"Okay.... Im ready..." 

"What happened at work today... Whats going on?" 

"I was cleaning your scent off of me and i ran into Damien when i was heading toward the elevator." 

"I doesn't take that long to clean off a scent, Mal." 

"I know i said i ran into him after..." 

"So you were talking with him for over 45 minutes?" 

She immediately freezes she needs to think fast, "What are you saying to me right now?" 

"Im just worried is all." 

"About Damien or about me?" She says annoyed. 

Seth sighs, "Both... because I think you- No, I know you are my soulmate..." 

"Soulmate? Like a fated pair?" She only heard about that when it came to alphas and omegas. Never betas... And never alpha and alpha for that matter.

"But we are both alphas... How does that wor-" She stops herself. 

"I know. Thats why I am confused." 

"I think it may be too early to be talking about soul mates..." M.j. says trying to not sound worried.

"Here is the reason why i think you are though... I have never and i mean absolutely have never gotten close to someone like this. I never felt the need or the want.  And today... With you wanted to be beside me. Do you know what that is technically called?" 

She shakes her head. 

"It's called burrowing. It's a defense mechanism when say a person feels unsafe they cling to someone more often than not its their mate." Oh shit. She may be a beta but she at least knows that is a sure tell sign of a fated partner. 

"I can't stop thinking about you." He admits. 

Please stop, she thinks but her heart is racing excited to hear those words. 

"I don't care that you are an alpha." 

This is so bad. 

"Well?" startled she looks over at him, "What do you think about all this?" She knows he wants to hear the  i like you to speech. But she can't no part of her be fully relaxed with him as long as she is still hiding the fact she is a beta. 

"I don't know what to say... I think that there is a lot to process..." 

"Yeah." He sighs and his head lowers. Her heart is breaking for him. She grabs his hand, he looks up at her. 

"It's not a no. I just need to think about it more. I mean we haven't really thought through the fact that your my boss. It can look bad." 

He nods, "Your right.Just please promise me you'll consider it?" 

She nods, "Of course I will." 

"I'll leave you to your bath. If you need anything, you know where i'll be..." She nods with a smile that reads, im sorry. He leaves and closes the door. Immediately M.j. buries her head under water and starts to cry. 

The water drowns out the noise as she cries under water. When she comes up for air she sighs was rubs the water off her face and leans back as loose tears fall which ever direction, "Im so sorry Seth." She whispers to her self. 

When Seth makes it to the hall way he is lost in thought. 

What went wrong? 

He thought for sure she would be excited.  

Was he wrong? 

He can't be.  Why is it that the person he wants to be with is barely excited?

There has to be something wrong with him. He sure is the dominant alpha curse. 

But why does it hurt so much? he thought. 

"Seth! Dinner is going to be ready in a bi-" Her demeanor changes into a worried look, "Seth, Why are you crying?" 

Was he crying? 

He raised his hands to his face and there was tears shocked by this makes him cry harder. When Martha walks up to him to console him he pushes her away, "I'll be fine." He says trying to pull himself together with all his might.

 "Seth..." Martha says extremely worried. 

"I will be staying in my room for dinner tonight. So you can send my plate there." 

"Of course." 

Seth begins to walk back to his room. Before he makes head way he stops and turns back at Martha, "Don't tell M.J.about this." 

"Y-yes Seth..." 

Seth walks back to his room, Maybe he can distract himself with more work. Something to get his mind off of this. 

Meanwhile M.J. walks out of her room an hour later looking for dinner. She finds Martha setting up a table for one. 

"What's going on? Is Seth not joining us?" 

"He... is busy with a call. He wanted me to relay the message that he will have to take his dinner to his room and wishes not to be disturbed." 

She sighs, "Okay... Then ill take mine in my room as well." 

Martha nods, "very well.." She watches M.j. leave hesitant to ask her whats going on. "M.j.?" She stops are turns, "It seems like you are upset... Is everything okay?" 

M.J chuckles weakly, "Why does my eyes give it away?" 

"It really does..." 

She pauses to collect her thoughts, "Seth... told me that he can't stop think about me and thinks i'm his soulmate.."

She startled by the news, "He told you?" M.J. nods. 

"What did you say?" 

She shrugs, " i said, I don't know. There is a lot to think about... Im an alpha.. and he's a dominant alpha it doesn't make sense..." 

Martha starts piecing altogether, "Sometimes it doesn't have to make sense in order for it to work." 

"I can tell he seemed disappointed." 

Thats an understatement, Martha thought. 

"But I'll get going. Thanks again for dinner Martha." 

"O-of course..."
