Marked Pain

Confusing Words

Chapter Three

Jake's P.O.V

I didn't sleep last night.

I'm going to hear it from Ashley today. I just know she is going to be pissed at me for what I did.

But she doesn't have to know. He whispers and makes me feel more comfortable. Yeah, why do I have to tell her? She's not my Mother... Then again, she acts like it. I wonder what Tate would say. I wonder if he would be mad.

I don't feel any different, I try not to think of her in that white dress. God, she looked so fucking sexy in that dress. I just wanted to pull her hair and make her scream my name. Why is she so hot? Could she really be my mate? You've looked everywhere, you've been with so many girls. I guarantee this is her. I try to get her out of my mind, but instead I roll over in my bed and close my eyes.

She is so addicting.

Skylar.

She is my mate, I would kill to have her to myself. I won't let anyone else have her, she's mine. Why should I have to share her? I wonder if she feels the same about me. What if she doesn't want to be my mate?

"Jake, are you up?!" Tate hollers from down the twisting stairs. I've been up since yesterday morning. "Yeah." I growl not wanting to be bothered. I just want to be alone and think about what I would do to her.

"Get down here, its passed noon." Tate hollers once more and I hear his steps make their way into the kitchen where Ashley whispers something to him. Her mate is down stairs as well, he's not much of a mate. He's more like a gay friend, they shop and talk together. What kind of mate is that? A good mate would hunt for her, give her good sex, treat her like a princess.

I would be that way to Skylar.

If she'll take me.

I make my way down the stairs already annoyed and not having a reason. I just don't want to be bothered.

"Whats wrong with you buddy?" Ashley sneers and I show her my teeth. "You look like shit. Drank to much?" Ashley's mate says, I think his name is Ryan. I don't say anything to them. I make my way toward the counter where Tate stands and he pours me a cup of coffee.

I whisper to him, "I need to talk to you." He gives me a look that I'm not sure how to take. "After breakfast." He mutters and pushes me away. I sit on the island with Ashley and Ryan making out. God, they are disgusting.

"What are your plans for today?"Tate asks Ashley and they part. "Well, I think we are going to go shopping. Then I might just go check on Skylar and see how much damage Jake did on her for turning her down." She snickers at me and I hiss at her. She is such a bitch, why is my sister a bitch?

"I bet she is heart broken she didn't get a handsome wolf like you, brother." She makes her way over to me and runs her hands through my hair. I glare at Ryan and he sips my coffee like nothing is strange about this. "Get the fuck off, Ashley." I push her away and she pouts. "Lets go Ryan." She says stomping off and slamming the front door behind her. "See ya." He says and stocks off toward her.

"Fuck." I breath and rest my head in my hands. "She's your sister." Tate says and I shake my head. "A real sister wouldn't try to seduce you with her mate right there." I mumble not knowing if he seen it or not. "A real sister wouldn't try to seduce you, period." He laughs and I shake my head. "Why is my family so fucked up?" I ask myself mostly.

"What did you have to tell me?" Tate asks and I lift my head up and look at him with worried eyes. "I marked Skylar Grey."

Skylar's P.O.V.

I wake up hot, and chops of memories come flowing back to me. Then I realize I'm in my room. How did I get here? The last thing I remember is being alone in the room at Ashley's party. Then the dream like thing happened with Jake and I. Was it a dream?

I sit up and rip the covers off of me and opening my window. The cool breeze chills my bones and I jump to see Sam and Jade in my room sitting on chairs. It's like they were waiting for me to wake up or something. The fire sensation is still in my bones. I try to ignore them as I get comfortable so I can talk to Sam and Jade.

"Whats up guys?" I ask not sure what else to say. "Skylar, your Dad is back." Sam's words scare me. This could either be a bad thing or a very good thing. I'm scared of what the bad might be. "Is he here?" I ask stuttering looking at Jade wondering why her tears fall down. "Whats wrong Jade?" I ask her giving small glances to Sam wondering if he notices.

"Skylar, listen to me." Sam's stern voice enters my head and I become still. "You Dad has come back because you have been marked." Sam calms down but the anger is in his jaw. He grinds his teeth and I can't help but cringe at the sound. "What are you talking about?" I ask wondering if last nights "dream" was real. Could Jake have marked me without telling me. How does it work? Will he even come to me?

"Skylar, hey listen to me." Sam;'s stern voice pushes my eyes to him. "Did you imprint on someone last night?" He asks and I don't know what to say. I don't know what imprint means, let alone what will happen if I have been marked. I don't know any of this stuff. "I suppose." I mumble not sure if I had or not. "What went on last night?" He asks me once more forgetting the unsure answer I had given him. "I was talking to Marcus and then Ashley came over. She started talking to me and then Marcus left. Ashley introduced me to her brother-."

"Ashley has a brother?" Sam asks confused and he looks at his crying mate who has recovered.

"Yeah, they are like twins I guess." I tell him what Ashley told me. "What was his name?" Jade asks. "No, what happened after that?" Sam interrupts her and I focus on Sam's question. "Ashley left us alone and then this strange feeling happened. Then he said something rude, I can't remember what. But then I left and got a drink, went up stairs and then I guess I fell asleep." I stop right there not sure what they would think of my dream.

"And." He asks having this eager look on his face.

"And, I woke up to someone in the room. I thought it was Jade or you but it was Jake." I stop wondering if I should go on, scared of what they might think of me. "Then?" He asks once more getting angry.

"Then we sort of..." I mumble on not wanting to say it in front of Jade or Sam. "Then I felt a pinch, then I woke up and left." I tell him not sure what to do now.

"Hmm." Sam pauses and leans back in his chair.

Jade whispers something in his ear and I want to know what they are whispering about. "Well, its better for you to rest. Bella will bring you something to eat and drink later on. Just relax." Sam says getting up and as well as Jade.

"Oh." Is all I say wondering why I have to stay in my room to rest.

Jade comes my way as Sam leaves my room with the door wide open. Jade's soft lips kiss me on the forehead. I smile at her but she doesn't smile back. She leaves me alone and confused in my room alone.
