The Unwanted Bond

Wait, You can...

Parker's POV:

I groaned as I moved and woke up. My body was very sore and I was still pretty tired. I pushed up into a sitting position and hung my head as I winced. I didn't realize how uncomfortable taking a knot would feel after the fact. My right shoulder and neck were pretty sore due to the second mark too. I gingerly stood up and walked over to one of the doors in the room. Opening it I was glad I had found the bathroom. I quickly went to the bathroom before walking over to the mirror and sink.

I turned the sink on and splashed cold water on my face. I stood up straight and used a towel to dry my hands and face before looking in the mirror. First thing I noticed was how much my second mark stood out. It looked identical to my first mark. Second thing I noticed were my brown eyes. My eyes widened as I realized I heard everything since waking up and my wolf was absent. I fled the room and checked the next door. It was a closet and thankfully had clothes in it. I yanked on a pair of running shorts before making my way out of the room.

I made my way down the stairs, taking in the house as I went. I heard noise coming from the back of the house on the main floor. I made it to the main floor. My eyes were wide as I took everything in. Everything was along the same lines of how my old room had been decorated. Homey, neat, cabin-vibes.

"Ry?"

"Kitchen, Baby. All the way in the back." He called out.

I made my way there looking at the house on the way. I walked into the massive kitchen and took in the marble counters, huge island, light gray cabinets, a modern white and gray backsplash, and silver appliances. I leaned against the doorway and crossed my arms.

Ryan glanced at me and I walked over to the fridge and opened the door. From the corner of my eye I could see his hands moving as he spoke.

"How do you like the place?"

"It's big. Nice. Kinda reminds me of how my room at Derek's was." I shrugged. I pulled out a blue gatorade and cracked it. I looked at the floor when he spoke next.

"I tried to make it a place you can escape if you need. If you want to change anything we can."

I didn't answer. He stomped on the floor once, I looked up as he started signing.

*Didn't realize your wolf wasn't out. I said...*

"I know what you said. I heard you." I cut him off.

"Wait, you can hear? Your wolf isn't out."

"I guess mating fixed it. Or it was you marking me twice." I pointed at the second mark and raised an eyebrow.

He winced. "Yeah.. Sorry about that." He walked over to me. "But you can hear? That's awesome." He cupped my cheeks.

I moaned at the sparks being way more intense and my eyes fluttered shut.

"I'm not sorry it's causing that though." He sounded smug.

"Hm?" I dragged my eyes open.

"Marking you a second time caused you to feel everything stronger. I didn't know it when I did it but if it means having you want me without constantly fighting me, I see it as a benefit."

I gently pushed him away as I stepped back. "That's not fair. It doesn't affect you. And it's just as noticeable as the first one. Everyone is going to know. Especially when I feel like I'm going to drop every time you touch me."

"I honestly had no idea until I mentioned it to my Pops and he laughed. He told me I probably just fucked things up with you. I'm sorry I marked you a second time. Apparently the more I mark you, not remark but if I mark you in multiple places, that because I am an Alpha, it heightens your reactions to me touching you, your emotions, and can end up making other people's touch painful. But that's only if they are trying to touch you sexually."
