Marked Pain

Butterflies & Fireflies

Chapter Six

Jake's P.O.V.

I get back just in time for the moon to be fully out. I open the door slowly going back to our short conversations like it was a movie I couldn't get out of my head. I'm not sure what we plan on doing at this moment but I do feel something for her like I didn't feel for any one else, and that scares me.

I don't know how I'm suppose to act around her, I know most mates keep their mate safe and happy but how am I suppose to do that when we aren't even together?

I think back to that guy that was calling out her name, he seemed tough. But if I were to fight for her against any guy, I would try my hardest until I had her.

"Jake! Where did you come from?" I hear my sister's piercing voice split in my ear as I try to escape in my bedroom but she catches me. "I went  out for a run." I lie to her knowing she would flip out if she knew the truth. "What took you so long?" She asks fixing her towel wrapped around her head making her face tighter and leaving her nose like a pig.

"Why do you care? I went out with out your permission what are you going to do?" I spit at her annoyed by her actions. She's not my mother why does she have to be so controlling.

"Jakey, I need to talk to you about the other night." She all of a sudden becomes sweet. She pushes me into my room and slams me on the bed with her strength. "What about last night?" I ask watching her as she grabs a chair and sitting crossed legged. "You didn't by any chance happen to umm well mark Skylar Gray. Right?" She asks and I feel my face go hot.

"Where are you getting at Ashley?" I hiss at her not going to give away my secret. If Tate would have told her than I would rip his head off. "Well, if you did by happen to do this, or if you even thought about it  your an idiot!" She thunks me on the head with her finger leaving me dazed.

"Why because I actually found someone who I like being with and your unhappy so we all have to be miserable?" I bark at her knowing this gets to her. I see her face clench with anger but then it becomes sweet once again. "I don't want any one to be miserable but Skylar." She smiles her wicked smile and I feel a pain of hurt in my leg. Like its on fire or something.

"Whats wrong?" She asks looking down at where I'm holding my leg. "It burns." I tell her clenching my teeth trying to not show her pain knowing that she is doing it. "What do you mean it burns?" She asks with a slide. She makes my hands let go of the burning sensation and lifts up my shorts so they are above my thigh.

"Oh my god!" Ashley mutters covering her mouth with her hand. I look at her face and then look down at my thigh to find a big blistering red spot where the pain is coming from.

Skylar's P.O.V.

I sat outside waiting for the moon to finally come out so I could go back inside without fear.

I'm not sure how Caleb will react to my actions today. Especially with me "mate". I don't know if he's a jealous type, a controlling type but I do know one thing, that I don't know him at all.

I walk on the front porch and take a deep breath before I can enter the house completely without anger or fear. I walk into the kitchen and hear Dad's voice ask, "Skylar?" in a rushed word. Then I am surrounded by my Father and Jade. "What were you thinking going out alone right before the moon came out?" Goes my Father followed by Jade, "Do you want to get killed?" Also followed by dirty looks from Caleb.

"I can't believe you." Caleb says stopping the others from yelling at me. I'm stunned by his words, he had seen Jake in the door way and knew my intentions. I hope he doesn't say it in front of every one else. "You tried to put the pack in danger." He assumes but I see in his eyes that he is hurt and upset by my actions of not following his directions. An alpha craves the obedience of some one.

"I wasn't trying-" I go to say but Caleb brings his hand up to stop me. "I don't want to hear it. Lets get ready to hunt." Caleb says and stocks off into the living room.

Dad follows him not saying anymore to me. Jade sticks by my side smiling. "Are you alright?" She asks and I nod. "He's so hot when he gets angry." She giggles and I nod not sure what I think of him yelling at me and my Dad just standing their letting it happen.

Yeah I sort of forgotten about the Moon almost rising and the hunters, but I was totally stunned by Jake's reactions tonight. I want to be with him, I just hope the pack understands that.
