~•~•~•~

I woke up to shouting.

"Where the fuck is she?!" The unmistakable voice of Aiden yelled at someone, who I presumed stood in front of him.

"I don't know man, maybe she left." Rian's voice replied, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.

"Do you know something about this? Did you see her leave?" Aiden asked suspiciously.

"Aiden, calm down." A new voice spoke, another male. "We'll find her."

"Shut the fuck up Mark, it isn't your fucking mate that's missing", Aiden retorted.

Oh, they were talking about me? ...Oops.

I slid out of bed and stood up, yawning. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and made my way over to the door. Aiden was so dumb. If he'd bothered to try and track my scent he would have found me right away, but no, he had to freak out the moment he didn't see me beside him.

I cautiously opened the door and peeped out. The sight that greeted me was too much to handle, and I toppled out of the bedroom and into the hallway, laughing hysterically. An electric blue-haired Aiden stood in front of me with a shocked expression on his face. Rian and another guy - who I assumed to be the Mark that Aiden had been speaking to - were also in the hallway, and both had amused facial expressions.

I was using the wall to hold myself up, because an angry, blue-haired mate was hilarious looking. It only took him a split second to react, and in a moment his arms were around me, crushing me to his chest.

I forgot that I was supposed to be mad at him, and I forgot that we only met two days ago, because I felt completely safe and warm in Aiden's arms. What surprised me most though, was how ...normal it felt.

I let him hold me for a second, knowing it was calming his wolf. But as soon as I pulled away, I remembered my anger at being marked and brought here without so much as an 'okay' from me.

Well, better just cut to the chase. "What the fuck?" I yelled, startling Aiden. He wore this adorable confused expression on his face but I was trying not to look at him, otherwise I'd end up forgiving him, even if I didn't want to. Damn mate bond.

"What?" He asked, keeping the expression. Rian snickered from behind him.

"Why exactly am I here?" I demanded.

Aiden looked at me in surprise. "Um, because you're mine?"

It came out as a question and I rolled my eyes, poking my finger at his chest. "No, I most certainly am not yours. And you freaking marked me without my permission! Who the hell does that?!"

The confused face left and was replaced with an almost...proud one? What the hell? "Yeah. Because that Beta of yours was looking at you."

"You're an idiot", I huffed, crossing my arms. "Dan doesn't see me that way. He's waiting for his own mate for god's sake! And that's no excuse for what you did!"

Aiden shrugged. "I don't see why it's such a big deal. A lot of wolves mark their mates right away."

"But not in front of their dad", I hissed. "And did you not think that I might want to wait a while?!"

Realization dawned on his face, and he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Uh, no. But at least now you're mine."

"How many freaking times do I have to tell you? I'm not yours", I said indignantly.

Aiden chuckled. "Princess, how many times do I have to tell you? You're mine, and there's nothing you can do about it."

I looked at Rian exasperatedly. "Please knock some sense into him."

Rian looked confused. "Uh, Pretty Little Liars is awesome?"

Aiden glanced between the two of us. "You two know each other?" I thought I caught a glint of something in his eye, but it was gone as soon as it came.

Rian nodded eagerly, a smirk on his face. "Yup, we're best friends."

Aiden growled. "Perri is mine, do you hear me?"

There was power behind his voice, and if he wasn't a rogue I'd have assumed he was an Alpha. His possessive voice was pretty sexy, though. Rian gulped and looked at the ground. "Yeppers."

I laughed, and as quickly as it came, the tension was gone. "Yeppers? Who says that?"

"Me", Rian stuck his tongue out at me.

"Okay, who wants breakfast?" Aiden asked. Immediately Rian thrust his hand into the air, waving it around wildly. "Me!"

"I wasn't talking to you." Aiden glared, then turned to me. "What do you want, love?"

I hated how he was acting as if we hadn't had an argument not two minutes ago, but I couldn't stop the butterflies in my stomach from the term of endearment he'd used. God, I was starting to feel like I was bipolar; one second I was mad at him, the next I was inwardly squealing over a stupid nickname.

I ignored Aiden, and instead I turned to Rian. "Where's Lisa?"

He shrugged. "She had to go home, her parents wanted to spend the day together or some shit. You woke up pretty late."

"Yeah, I'm still pretty tired. Being marked takes a lot out of you." The last sentence was fixed with a glare towards Aiden, who was shooting daggers at Rian for some reason; I didn't know why.

Rian chuckled. "Okay, do you want to go out for breakfast, or stay here?"

I glanced towards Aiden. "Uh, I think I'd rather go out."

Aiden growled, and in a moment I found myself pinned against the wall, regardless of Rian and that Mark guy staring at us. Aiden buried his head in my neck and inhaled deeply. "You're staying here, alright?"

His warm breath left tingles on my skin, and I wondered what would happen if he touched my mark, which was on the other side of my neck. I was hoping he wouldn't; I'd heard it usually brought intense pleasure to the female when the male touched their marks.

"Uh, no." I wiggled out of his grasp and ran to hide behind Rian. He stepped away, exposing me to Aiden's darkened eyes and heavy breathing. Gosh, calm your moobs, bro.

He opened his mouth to speak, but the other guy beat him to it. He stepped forward, holding out his hand. "Hey, I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Mark."

I shook his hand, smiling. "Perri."

He smiled back at me, before walking into the kitchen. "So who wants bacon?"

Well, if I was planning on going out for breakfast before, I'd changed my mind. Bacon was the key to my heart, and nothing could ever come between our love.

"Yay, bacon!" Rian yelled running into the living room and jumping onto the couch. I laughed at his antics, before turning to look at Aiden.

He glared at the back of Rian's head, before shrugging and heading towards his bedroom. "I'm going to wash this fucking blue out of my hair."

I snickered and went to join Rian on the couch. "So how long will the blue hair last?"

He shrugged. "I don't know, the packet said ten rinses but god only knows what it'll really take."

I chuckled. "Okay, how 'bout some PLL before breakfast?"

Rian shook his head sadly. "Lisa said she'd murder me and chop my body up and eat it on a skewer if I watched another episode without her."

I laughed again. I seemed to always be laughing around Rian; I guessed he was just that type of person.

Pretty soon the door of Aiden's apartment burst open and the other two rogues walked in - a guy and a girl. The girl was smiling at the guy, and the guy's arm was around her waist, so I assumed they were mates, or at least dating.

"Hi!" The girl said, walking up to me. "I'm Sera, and this is Jesse, my mate."

I grinned at the two of them. "I'm Perri."

"Oh, we know", Jesse said, sitting down on one of the armchairs. "Aiden's mate. So, how is he?"

Rian snickered, and I nudged him to shut him up. "Uh, he freaked out when he woke up and I wasn't there, and then I guess he had a shower before yelling at Rian and Mark."

"Oh, okay", Sera nodded.

There was a brief pause, and then -

"HIS HAIR IS BLUE!" Rian screamed.

I burst out laughing at Jesse and Sera's expressions. Rian grinned at me, whilst I practically rolled on the ground. As you've probably noticed by now, I was very easily amused.

It took a while, but eventually my laughter died down, only to be replaced with moans as Mark carried a huge mountain of bacon over to the coffee table.

"Bacon", Rian smiled dreamily.

"Oh god", I groaned as I shoved a slice of heaven into my mouth.

We all dug into the bacon, each one of us making our own sounds of ecstasy at the orgasmic food. Okay, that sounds wrong, but if you've ever tried bacon you'll know what I'm talking about.

A growl from behind me stopped me mid-moan, and I turned to see Aiden, whose hair was almost back to it's original shade of brown, but you could still see faint streaks of blue throughout it. He must've washed it about twenty times. What was most noticeable though, was his eyes, which were almost black, a sure sign that his wolf was extremely close to the surface.

I stared at him open-mouthed, a piece of bacon hanging from my lips. Ohh, bacon. Wait-no, I was supposed to be worrying about what was wrong with Aiden, not thinking about the reason for my entire existence.

Aiden was breathing heavily, and his fists were clenching and unclenching by his sides. An emotion I'd never seen before swirled in his eyes...lust?

"Uh...Aiden?" I asked tentatively, swallowing the rest of my bacon.

Aiden growled again, before shaking his head as if to get rid of something inside his head. I wasn't sure if it was his wolf, or whatever he was thinking. He shook his head one more time before speaking hoarsely. "Just don't- don't make those sounds again."

I opened my mouth to respond, when a giggle - yes, a giggle - erupted from Rian. I looked at him questioningly, and he pointed at Aiden, who was now standing behind the kitchen island.

"What?" I asked, confused. Jesse and Sera were both smiling, and Mark was snickering into a cushion. Rian was full-on laughing, and Aiden's face was almost embarrassed.

Aiden shook his head frantically at Rian, who smirked at me. I was getting annoyed; what was so funny that I didn't know about?

"What?" I asked again.

Rian's laughter impossibly got louder. He wiped a tear from his eye before attempting to sober up, looking at Aiden. "I'm sorry, man."

"Don't say it!" Aiden yelled, whilst I waited for what Rian was about to say.

"AIDEN GOT A BONER FROM YOU EATING YOUR BACON!" Rian shouted, pointing at me and laughing wildly.

Oh god. I looked from Aiden, whose hands were now covering his face, to Rian, who was practically peeing himself. Sera was giggling quietly, and Mark was stifling his laughs in his cushion. Jesse was looking somewhat sympathetically at Aiden. I guess this happened to him before too.

Everyone looked at me, as if waiting for my reaction. I cleared my throat. "Uh, I guess you'd better take a cold shower then."

Rian's laughter increased, and Aiden scowled at him before shuffling off to his bedroom with a noticeable tent in his pants.

There was a moment of silence, and then Rian broke it. "So!" He said, looking at me. "Any hot girls in your pack?"

Mark smacked him around the head, and I giggled quietly. "I don't know, you'll have to go and see for yourself."

Rian looked thoughtful for a moment. "Maybe I will."

Mark shook his head. "Rian, you don't want to get kicked in the balls again. I'm pretty sure the last girl you tried to flirt with almost stopped you from having children."

"Eh, she was just overwhelmed by my shocking good looks", Rian shrugged.

"You conceited bastard", I chuckled.

He faked offense. "Hey, it's not my fault I have confidence!"

"That's not confidence", Sera pointed out. "It's just arrogance."

"I don't think so", Rian pouted. "I mean, if you saw how huge-"

"That's enough!" Jesse growled, tightening his arm around Sera's waist. She chuckled and pecked him on the lips.

By now all of the bacon was gone, leaving me thirsty. I got up to get a glass of water from the kitchen, leaving Rian and Sera to continue their playful banter. I didn't know where the glasses were, so I opened a few doors of the cupboards, eventually finding one with glasses on the very top shelf. Ugh, I probably wouldn't be able to reach it without standing up on a chair.

I tried standing on my tippy toes and stretching my arm up as far as possible, groaning when I still couldn't reach. I nearly jumped out of my skin when a voice behind me said huskily, "Didn't I tell you to stop making those sounds?"

I felt a presence directly behind me and Aiden reached up and effortlessly lifted down a glass, his body pressing against mine.

I involuntarily shivered as sparks ran up and down my body. Aiden set the glass down on the counter and wrapped his arms around my waist. Without thinking I relaxed into his arms, and he rested his head on my shoulder. "Does this mean you forgive me?"

Whoa whoa whoa! Who said anything about forgiving? I must've been giving him the wrong impression again. This damn mate bond. It was making me react every time he so much as touched me, and it was only after he let go that I'd realize what I'd done. I knew I was sending him mixed signals, and that he was probably really confused, but I didn't want to forgive him so easily after what he'd done. Although it didn't help that he was right behind me with his arms around my waist, I was trying to deny the mating bond as much as possible. After all, I was leaving tomorrow...hopefully.

I tried to pull away, but I was trapped between the counter and Aiden's arms. I shook my head quickly, but his arms only moved so that they were on either side of me, preventing me from getting away. I turned around to face him and tried pushing on his chest, but he only smirked down at me.

"Uh...Aiden, can you move?" I asked.

His smirk widened. "Not until you forgive me."

I frowned, "No."

Aiden leaned down so that his lips were brushing my ear, sending shivers through my body. "How about now?" He whispered.

I shook my head slightly, and he started placing gentle kisses on my jaw, making his way dangerously close to my mark. I sighed almost inaudibly and closed my eyes.

Aiden peppered kisses around the mark on my neck, and I was getting weak at the knees. My mind was screaming at me to run far away, but my body wouldn't let me, and I completely relaxed against Aiden. I prayed he wouldn't kiss my mark, because if he did I would definitely forgive him and accept the bond between us.

He continued to kiss my neck, and I gripped the front of his shirt to keep myself up. I bit my lip to hold back a moan that was threatening to come through, and I felt Aiden smile against my skin. "Now?"

"Uh-" I stuttered, trying to stop myself from agreeing to whatever he said. "I-"

"PORN SHOW!" Rian yelled, causing Aiden to pull away from me and look over at him.

I sagged with relief, whilst my mate glared at Rian. "What?"

Rian pointed a finger accusingly at us. "You were about to start a heavy make out session on the kitchen counter!"

I rolled my eyes, "Rian, we weren't doing anything."

Mark laughed, and I glared at him, shutting him up instantly. I made my way back to the couch, glass of water forgotten. I sat down beside Rian, and Aiden followed, sitting suspiciously close to me. I blamed it on the size of the couch, although there appeared to be plenty of space on Aiden's other side.

"First of all, why are y'all here?" Aiden drawled, looking around at his friends.

They all glanced at each other nervously. "We just wanted to visit you and your mate!" Rian supplied.

"Yeah, we wanted to meet Perri", Sera chipped in.

"Absolutely", Mark agreed.

"Uh huh", said Jesse.

Aiden looked at them all suspiciously. "Well, you've met her now. Bye."

I nudged him in the side without a second thought. "Aiden! Don't be so rude. Guys, you can stay."

Aiden grumbled under his breath about unfair mates, but I didn't pay any attention to him. Rian grinned at me gleefully, and I smiled at him in return.

"Are you sure you guys aren't here to use my Netflix again?" Aiden asked. The group shifted uncomfortably in their seats.

"Pfft, no", Sera denied. "Of course not."

The others all muttered agreements, and Aiden glared around at them all. "You all know my password anyway, just log in to my account in your own apartments!"

"But your TV is better", Rian whined.

"I don't care", Aiden snapped. "Just go watch at Lisa's house or something."

"Lisa's out with her parents, you dipshit", he countered.

Aiden growled, and Rian shut up. "Just go, and leave me some time with my mate alone."

Rian sighed and got up along with the others. Oh no, he was leaving me alone with Aiden! As they started walking away, I lunged for Rian's legs and grabbed on tight. "Don't leave me!"

He laughed, looking down at me. "Sorry, Pez."

"Pez?" I questioned.

"Yeah...I didn't want to call you Perri all the time, and Perr didn't seem to suit you", he explained.

"Okay", I laughed, still holding on to his legs.

Aiden groaned. "Perri, let go of Rian."

"You can't tell me what to do!" I stuck my tongue out in the direction I thought Aiden was. I couldn't see anything except Rian's shoe because I was lying on the ground clutching his leg.

I heard laughter from above me, and I assumed it was the others. I heard the frown in Aiden's voice as he said, "Perri, they have to leave."

"Yeah, because you're being a jerk and forcing them to go", I responded.

Aiden sighed, and the next time he spoke, there was a lot of power behind it. "Rian, get the fuck out of my apartment."

Rian began walking to the door, dragging me along with him. He paused. "Perri, I think you should let go."

I sighed. "Yeah, I guess." I let go of his leg and stood up, brushing myself off. I gave him a brief hug which made Aiden growl, and then smiled. "Bye Rian."

"Bye chica", he replied, which made me laugh.

I said bye to the rest of the guys, and pretty soon the apartment door slammed shut, leaving me alone with Aiden. I turned to him with my hands on my hips. "That was rude."

His only response was a huge smile. "God, it feels good to have a mate."

"Aiden, stop", I said. "First of all, I need proper clothes, and a shower. Then we'll talk."

He blinked, then nodded. "Yeah, your clothes are in the laundry, so for now you can just borrow some of mine."

"What about underwear? I doubt you have a bra and a pair of panties in my size just lying around."

He shrugged. "You can borrow some off Sera."

"Aiden, I'm not borrowing someone else's underwear!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I doubt you want to go around in yesterday's, or none", he said.

"Yeah, so you could take me back to my pack to get some", I rolled my eyes, but I had a little hope that he would take me home and my mom would stop me from leaving again.

He shook his head. "Nope, I'll send Jesse and Mark over to get your stuff, hang on."

His eyes unfocused for a moment and his face slipped into one
