The Unwanted Bond

Oh, Paisley

Parker's POV:

I forced myself out of the depths of sleepiness and opened my eyes. I was thankfully lying in Ryan's bed. His scent washed over me in waves. I threw the blankets off of me before sitting on the side of the bed. I ran my hands through my hair.

"I can't believe we marked him, Percy."

"It was only a matter of Time, P."

"Yeah well, flipping out because he may or may not have had sex with that bitch, was not the time."

"It was. Now she knows he is ours."

"No, Percy, you need better control. I wasn't ready, that was the next step in the mating and it's going to throw me into heat faster. Ryan is an Alpha and even he will have a hard time ignoring my heat."

"P, he was so gentle with us when we marked him, he could have gotten pissed and he didn't. He ran his hand through our hair and talked you out of another freak out, he took care of you when you passed out and he listened to you, even when you were being disrespectful."

"I wasn't being disrespectful. I was pissed off and no one leaves me alone to handle things."

"You were being extremely disrespectful because you were pissed off, and you and I both know how self-destructive you are. Ryan won't leave you alone because Derek probably warned him of your self-destructive tendencies."

"Whatever, Percy."

I cut off the link between us so I couldn't talk to him anymore and stood up. I used the bathroom and ignored the fact that I was in different clothes. I left the room and headed down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen where I heard voices coming from. Ryan, his father's, Carla, Carter, Matt, and Sophia were all standing around talking.

"Hey, Baby, feeling better?"

I shrugged and walked over to the fridge. I opened the door and looked at what was there for drinks. I grabbed a gatorade and opened it while closing the door with my elbow. I chugged it while I turned to everyone.

"Are you planning on talking at all?"

I shrugged again and eyed him as he approached me.

"Baby, I need words. I need to know what you need. Are you worried that I'm mad at you?"

I nodded. "I was disrespectful to you and I marked you which complicates things even more."

"You were disrespectful, but that's understandable given why you were pissed off in the first place. Your wolf took over and marked me and that's okay. I'm not mad about it. Yes, it complicates things when it comes to when your heat could be, but at the end of the day if you aren't ready we will figure something out. I won't ever make you complete the mating. If you aren't ready, you aren't ready. Simple as that."

"It's not simple. Nothing about this is simple. I shouldn't have lost control like that. I shouldn't have marked you yet."

"You're mad because you didn't want to mark me?"

"I'm mad because I lost control and it wasn't on our terms, and I'm going to go into heat and I don't know if I can make it through heat without you, but you can't be there because we will mate and I don't know if I can do that either. I'm mad because I made things complicated when I can't even stand to be touched." I stressed.

"Baby, calm down. The only time me touching you really bothers you is when you are thinking about it. You overthink everything so bad and that leads to you freaking out."
