Colby knew that this day would come sooner than later. When he told Jake and the other roommates that he's a werewolf and Jake is his mate, he didn't tell them one little thing. If Colby doesn't mark Jake, then Colby will die.

The boy realizes that he should have told Jake sooner, but the fear of rejection was too much for him. Colby is two days away from dying, and he's still wondering if he should tell Jake.

'This is crazy. I mean, I need to tell him, but I'm so fucking scared of the rejection. If he rejects me, I die, if I don't tell him, I die. I just need to tell him.' Colby has made up his mind. 'I'll tell him tonight.'

Colby doesn't leave his room until Jake comes in and makes him come downstairs to eat. Colby soon realizes that it's time to tell Jake, the nerves are overwhelming.

"Babe, I need to talk to you something."

Jake stops his chewing, and looks curiously at Colby. "Shoot."

"Uh. . . I just-"

Colby swallows his fear of rejection. "I need to mark you, or I die. . ."

The shock that Jake has soon turns into anger. "Why the hell didn't you tell me this sooner, Colby?!"

The alpha puts his head down in shame. "I was scared that you would reject me. . ."

"Colbs, I would never." The anger on Jake's face gone now.

"How long do you have?"

"I have two days." The boy instantly backs away a bit when he says this.

"TWO DAYS?!"

Jake takes a few calming breathes, and says "Do it now then."

Jake takes Colby's hand, and they go up to Colby's room.

Jake wakes up feeling like a new person. He looks over to where Colby is laying and sees him on his laptop.

"What happens now?"

Colby jumps from the surprise that Jake is up. "Well, nothing really changes. The mark symbolizes that I have claimed you as mine, and no other werewolf can touch you."

"What about other humans?"

Colby sighs, "They can touch you, but just a heads up, I'm going to be super protective from now on."

Colby is caught off guard when Jake gets on top of him, and starts leaving kisses on his face and neck.

"Mine." Jake whispers in between kisses.

"Yes, baby, all yours."

Colby chuckles while saying, "That's another thing, you'll be more clingy and protective as well."

Jake doesn't seem to care since he just keeps kissing on Colby neck. Colby let's out a little moan before saying, "I would stop if I were you, little mate. I don't think I can control my wolf for much longer." Another moan escapes.

"Let him out, I want you both right now." Jake says with a smirk.

Suddenly, a growl is heard from Colby, Jake looks up at him to see his eyes red. "As you wish, little one." He says with a smirk.

Jake rolls his neck for the third time in the last hour. The mark that Colby left on Jake's neck is sore, and nothing that Jake tried to do would help it.

"Colbs, is this mark suppose to hurt like this? It's killing me."

Colby looks up from his laptop, and smiles at Jake. "Come here, little mate."

Jake gets up off of Colby's bed Ana walks up to where Colby is now standing up.

Colby reaches over and starts to rub on the mark. The pleasure that comes from the simple action is overwhelming to Jake.

'Holy...' Jake thinks to himself.

Jake feels his knees buckle, but before he could fall to the floor Colby catches him.

"Feel good, my love?" The smirk from the other night is back on Colby's face.

"Y-yes. How. . . ?" Jake could barely talk.

Colby chuckles at Jake and says, "it's the mate bond."

"Mmm"

Colby picks up Jake and puts him on the bed. The giggles coming from the room were a sign for all the roommates not to come in.

Colby and Jake walk down to the kitchen hand and hand. As soon as they get down there they notice that Devyn and Corey aren't there, and the worried look of Sam and Aaron.

"Where's Devyn and Corey?" Jake asks.

Sam is the first to answer."Corey is upstairs in his and Devyn's room, and Devyn is missing."

"Why didn't you guys tell us sooner?" Colby says, anger showing on his face.

"We just found out a few minutes ago." Aaron replies

Before any of them could say anything, Corey comes running down the stairs, tears freshly on his face.

"Thank God you're up, Colby. You're a werewolf, so you can find Dev right?"

"I-I mean, yeah. . ."

"Great! Please find her."

"Wait, wait, you have to explain what happened first." Colby says.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry. I woke up this morning, and I noticed Devyn wasn't next to me. I walked down her and looked everywhere. Once I figured out she wasn't here, I tried to call her; she didn't answer." He replies all at once.

"Was there any signs of a struggle or anything?" Colby asks.

"Uh, yeah. The front door was open, and. . . There was blood." Fresh tears start to roll down his cheeks.

"Okay, man. I'll try to find her, Corey." Colby starts for the front door.

Colby starts to turn into his wolf form, and turns towards the others. Colby's eyes land on Jake, and Jake smiles at him. Before Colby could do anything, he catches Devyn scent.

'I'm coming, Dev. Don't worry.'

Colby's wolf takes off in the direction of Devyn's scent.
