Marked Pain

Its Been A Couple Days

Chapter Eleven

Jake's P.O.V.

I feel the pulse in my right eye as I feel another blow come at me.

"You still want to do this. All for a girl?" Tate asks me as he watches the stranger beat the shit out of me. "I love her." I spit at them not sure how long I will be here. I would rather be knocked unconscious. "Love. Love is shit!" The russian mutters and blows me another in the mouth and everything goes black.

When I wake up next I am in a hotel room.

"Your awake. About time, we need to talk." The russian says almost immediately after I sit up. I feel my face with my hand and feel a large bump. "No,no, no. Don't that will just make it much worse." The russian mutters handing me a ice pack.

I can only see out of my one eye and thankful that I have twenty twenty vision.

"Now, about the girl you say you love. I know where she is. I don't plan on killing her though." He tells me and his accent is deep. "Then why do you want her?" I ask not sure what else to say. "Ah! That is your true question?" He asks me and I'm not sure if I should answer. "You love her so you are willing to do anything to save her?" He asks me again.

"Of course." I tell him letting the ice cover my eye. "Then you kill her father." The russian says without hesitation. I'm confused.

"I thought you wanted Skylar?" I ask loving the feeling of her name on my tongue. "Ahhh, Skylar." He hums and licks his lips.

"Do you know what I am?" He asks me and I look him over. I shake my head knowing he's not a werewolf.

"I am a hybrid. A hybrid that could destroy you in the matter of twenty seconds. But I won't because I find you useful. I am a vampire wolf." He smiles at me and I flinch. "I can do things to help you forget about the lovely Skylar." He smiles at me and I shake my head not believing it.

"You just have to do one little thing for me." The russian smiles and curls his nails into my skin.

"You will kill her father." He hisses at me and I see his eyes go red, like dark red. "There is no point. I won't." I tell him shaking my head no longer want to be part of this. What was I even looking for when I came here.

It took four days to get here and I'm not even sure what Skylar is doing. She probably has just forgotten all about me by now.

"No. That is not an option. You either do this for me or I will kill you. Problem solved." He smiles and leans back in the chair at the end of my bed. "I'll do it. But I won't kill anyone." I tell him shaking my head knowing that I couldn't do it no matter what.

"Oh you will. Don't you worry." The russian laughs.

Skylar's P.O.V.

Its been a few days since Dad and Caleb have showed up. Its been a couple days since I had the "dream" like vision.

Its been a couple days since I have seen Jake. Its been a couple days since we had last heard from Dad's friend who was tracking Nick. Its been a couple days since I have fallen deeply in love with Caleb.

We decided that tonight would be the night we complete the bond. Hopefully that won't be a problem.

I don't see in any way of waiting anymore. I'm not sure if we should wait any longer. If we do it might be too late, then Caleb will be in a hard position. He won't be able to protect me and stay alive.

You see when a mate has completed the bond and defends his mate he doesn't die necessarily. I mean he does, but of the blood of his mate he is brought back. Its quite interesting, but I guess thats what love does to you.

I smile as I look at Caleb as the sun shines in and hits him in the face. He groans and then looks at me with bright eyes. "Good morning." he says bringing me closer to him. "Morning." I tell him cuddling at him nipping at his neck.

"Today is the day." I smile at him knowing that today will be a great day. "I guess it is." Caleb frowns and i don't quite understand why he is upset. "Whats wrong?" I ask and look him over. "I have to tell you something, Skylar." He mutters and I remember on the first day of his arrival he said that when the right time comes he will tell me something important. Something he has been hiding from me, I had almost forgotten about it.

"Okay." I whisper and feel his chest rise.

"We all..." He stops and looks beyond me and then smiles. "Good morning. We need to talk." I turn around and see Sam at my bedroom door all dressed and showered. "Be right there." Caleb mutters and Sam leaves.

"What were you going to say?" I ask anxious to know. "Later." he smiles at me and I nod.

He gets off the bed and I watch as his half naked body leaves me breath less and confused.

I lay in bed unsure what to do. I decide to go and sneak around wondering if I could find out anything.

I climb out of bed quietly and make my way down the hall were I hear Caleb's voice getting higher and deeper.

"I'm not going to keep this from her any more." He growls and I place my ear closer to the door. "You can't tell her, she will never mate with you. Then how are you suppose to keep her safe?" Sam asks and I feel tension in their voices. "I love her, I will not lie about this to her." Caleb growls even deeper.

"I know Skylar. She will hold a grudge about this. She will kill you if you tell her." Sam warns and I am stunned at how Sam talks about me. What is the big secret? Does he have a mate, does he have another pack?

"I'm going to tell her, right now. I'm not keeping it from her any more. She will understand why we had to trick her, she will understand why she can't be with Jake." His words confuse me even more. How does he know about Jake? What did they trick me about?

"Skylar. What are you doing?" I look behind me feeling my face go hot at being caught. I turn around with tears in my eyes, "What are you guys hiding from me?" I ask Jade letting the tears fall down. "Skylar." She shakes her head and brings me into her arms. "Don't cry. Everything is going to be alright." Jade hums in my ear.

"Skylar? Whats wrong?" I hear Caleb's voice and it makes me cry even harder. "You need to tell her. Right now." Jade warns and I feel her wolf want to spring open.

"Skylar." I feel Caleb's hands on me and he looks at me and I see him through blurred vision. "I love you." He tells me and I nod.

"Just tell her." Jade hurries.

Caleb takes a deep breath and looks at me with worry in his eyes.
