Chapter Fourteen
When I wake up the sun is kissing my legs, as well as Caleb.
I look down at him and he is smiling. "What are you doing?" I ask him wondering what he plans on doing. "I missed you." He says in a seductive tone. "You just-" But he cuts me off with a sweet kiss.
"What has gotten into you?" I ask him but he interrupts with another kiss. "Shh." He hushes me up for about another hour in a half.
As we climb out of the shower and get ready for the day I tell Caleb about Jake. "Really?" Is all he had to say. "Yeah and I kind of let him go yesterday." I tell him but I look at his face. "What?" He comes at me and holds my shoulders. "He's back in the basement though. He came on his own." I tell him and he relaxes.
"Skylar this isn't something you can play games with-" I cut him off.
"I'm not playing any game. He's better. He came back on his own." I say proudly and comb out my tangles. "But will he be okay when we leave?" He asks me and I ignore that. The important thing right now is that he is better. He's not a monster anymore.
We go down for breakfast and Jake is at the kitchen table. "Guess who helped me with pancakes?" Bella says with ear to ear smiles. I look at Jake and raise my eyebrows. I smile at him and then wipe it away as Caleb moves passed me angrily. Caleb sits at the end of the table where Jake sits at the other end. "So you think you are human enough to sit with us?" Caleb growls and I nudge him. Why is he being so rude?
I grab the plates even though I'm not wanting to eat. I set them down and Jake looks up at Caleb. "I get it. I put you guys through hell-" Caleb stops Jake. "You can't say anything. You don't know anything. So please don't speak." Caleb says through his teeth. "Stop." I tell him and he shoots me a look I do'nt want to mess with. "Why can't I say anything? Because I'm not an alpha, or a leader?" Jake asks Caleb directly and Bella steps out.
"No because you do'n tknow how to keep yoru filthy god damn hands off of Skylar!" Caleb growls and stands up standing his ground. As does Jake. I press my palm on Caleb's chest. "Caleb!" I scream at him already hating myself for even thinking that Caleb wouldn't smell Jake on me. Of course he would! "Caleb what is wrong with you?" I yell at him and he pushes my arm away.
Jake leaves the kitchen and walks outside. "What are you trying to do?" I ask him wondering what his plans are. "Just go get him." Caleb growls and I do.
I run outside seeing Jake go deeper into the woods the way we always do. "Jake! Jake! Wait up!" I yell after him and he comes back at me. "I don't know what the hell I was thinking." Jake growls at me looking at me straight in the face. "What do you mean?" I ask him wanting to know what his plan was. "I thought if I could get you back to me then you would..." He trails off and I am shocked.
"You thought I would come back to you?" I ask him not believing this. "Jake I'm mated! I am marked!" I yell at him and try to lower my voice. "Yeah? Well I think I remember when you said you wanted me to mark you!" He growls at me. I shake my head. "Jake? That was... that was... I can't even explain what that was. Caleb loves me he really loves me, he is protecting me!" I yell at him and think about what I am giving him in return.
"I could too you know? I would have kept you safe!" He growls and I slip.
"The only thing that is putting me in danger is you!" I cover my mouth as soon as I say it. "Jake. I'm so sorry." I whisper and everything is buzzing. "No your right. I am the one putting you in danger. And I'm sorry. I don't know what I'm even doing here, actually. I thought you could help me and I didn't even think about what would happen afterward because I was loving the way we were spending time with each other." He does't stop there.
"I'll tell Caleb I'm sorry and that I won't touch you anymore." Jake nods and I shake my head. "I think that would only make him even more upset." I say honestly not really sure what to say. "I actually think I was helping you..." I say and look up at his yellow eyes. He is drained, tired.
"I guess we should start to train some more?" He asks but I shake my head. "I need to take a break today." I tell him thinking that its Tuesday. In two more days the pack will have to make a decision. And at this moment I think I already know the decision.
When we reach the house its quiet. I don't know where Bella went or Caleb. "I'll be right back." I tell Jake and head upstairs.
"Caleb?" I ask opening the door and see our room totally torn apart. "Caleb?" I ask one more time looking at our bed sheets torn apart. Our dresser taken apart, the mirror shattered, our books, clothes, other things torn apart. I go into the bathroom and Caleb is on the ground with his head in between his legs. "Caleb." I gasp and kneel down to him. "Caleb I'm so sorry." I tell him and kiss his top of his head and try to make him relax.
His heart rate is fast pacing but it slows down. "I shouldn't have did that. Lashed out. I just hate all the time you guys are spending together." Caleb shakes his head and goes on and on. I stop him with a kiss. "You are the only one that I want." I tell him as sincere as I possibly can. "I don't know how to show you that." I shake my head and he kisses me.
That's when we hear it. The shriek from yesterday morning, happening now, for real.
And its coming from Jade.
