Chapter Five
Jake's P.O.V.
"Woah, woah. Where are you going?" I hear Tate's voice whisper in my ear as I try to escape out the front door. I knew I should have went out the back door.
"I was going to go out, I wanted to just get a run in." I lie not sure what else another excuse is. I just don't want Ashley to find out where I'm actually going. "Alright, be back before it gets too dark." Tate says and walks away. I escape and slide through the front door and find myself changing almost automatically aching to be in my form. I feel my bones crack and bend I can finally just let myself go.
I run toward Skylar's house not able to get her out of my head all day.
Skylar's P.O.V.
"So I'm suppose to be your mate and not feel what I do for Jake?" I ask looking into Caleb's eyes once again. "Yeah." He says like it means not what its suppose to. "But I think I love him." I lie to him not sure what I actually feel for Jake.
"Skylar, if your one of those wolves who believes in the whole marking shit, which I know you don't, I don't know what to tell you. All that is utter bull shit. You should know by now with your Father. Plus, I'll keep you safe. This Jake kid is probably a pup." He scoffs and I nod. He is no size compared to Caleb.
I smile at his cockiness. We have been talking for a good hour waiting for the moon to set so we can go out hunting. I'm starving and I don't know how much I can hold on to without going out with out them. "What if you fall for me?" I ask flirting just a bit. He laughs, "I think I already have." He says seriously and I am caught in his gaze. I stop smiling and I am thankful for the knock on the door.
Its a familiar scent but I don't pay too much attention to who it is only to Caleb's words.
I open the door and can't believe to see who it is.
"Jake." I breath.
Jake's P.O.V.
Skylar stands in front of me and I can't help but my mouth drops. She looks so beautiful with her hair a mess and her jeans so tight. "Skylar." I say after she breaths my name. "I just wanted to come see you and talk about the other night." I cough and then hear another voice in their kitchen. "Skylar who is it?" His voice is deep and strong. He's an alpha.
"Ummm." Is all she says. "Skylar?" I ask wondering what she is thinking. Does she even remember? I haven't been able to get her out of my head. "Skylar can I just talk to you please?" I ask her just wanting to tell her what I've been going through.
"Sky." I hear her name come out of the strangers mouth once more. "Sky will you talk to me?" I ask wanting to get her away from this demanding voice. "Yeah." She rushes me out of the porch and I find myself so close to her.
I take a deep breath and we begin to walk on the sidewalk away from her house.
"About last night..." I go on but she cuts me off. "Was it real?" She asks catching me off guard. "What? Yeah it was real Skylar." I tell her being a little mean in my tone. She doesn't say any more and I fall to silence. "Whats wrong?" I ask wondering why she doesn't say anymore.
She opens her mouth but nothing comes out. "I just... It seemed like a dream." She says and her voice is so soft. "I'll take care of you." I tell her not sure where that came from. "I can't." She says almost immediately. My heart drops, "What?" I ask wondering why she came with me then.
"I can't be with you. I'm alpha female now." She tells me and it all clicks. The guy who was talking to her must have been her mate. Wow. I did not see this coming. "So you don't want to be with me?" I ask her not sure what else to say. "I never said that." She says but I cut her short, "You said you can't. You obviously have things to do." I tell her cutting her off shorter.
Why is she being so difficult? I just asked her one question. "You don't get it. I have all this kind of pressure on me and I don't know what I want. If I did I wouldn't be talking to you right now I would be with you. Thats where I want to be and I don't want to be here with him." She keeps going on and I notice we have stopped walking. I can hear her voice start to break, she wants to cry but doesn't. She's so strong.
"Skylar." I whisper and bring her into my arms and hug her tight. I feel her tears sink into my shirt and I take in her smell of her hair.
"I just don't know what to do." She mumbles in my chest and I feel her arms curl around my back and I feel welcome to hug her tighter.
Skylar's P.O.V.
We come back to the house holding hands but then he lets go as soon as we see the house.
I don't know many things right now, but I know that Jake and I have become closer. I feel broken but then taped back up with the help of Jake. I wonder what Caleb will have to say after I stormed off with out his permission.
I shutter him away not wanting to think about him. "I'll see you later?" He asks stopping before we reach the house completely. I look down at our feet. I look up once more and meet his eyes. "Yeah." I smile a little and then he gives me a wink and disappears in the woods.
I wipe the rest of my tears and walk into the house ready for whatever Caleb will throw at me.
Like I said before, I don't know much right now, but I do know that I am in love with Jake.
