Resisting Temptation

2

Okay, this update is for Smileyside123, who told me to update, it actually motivated me to write quicker. Thankyou ! ^^ 

Skylar POV

I chucked my books down onto my desk as I stood staring at myself in my mirror. My eyes were beginning to change, a sign that my wolf was trying to take over. I couldn't let that happen. Not again. I wouldn't be able to stop myself, and I knew it. Why did I have to invite him in? Stupid, stupid, stupid. I couldn't let anyone get close to me, even if it was my mate, the one who was to protect me. But what if it turned out that he was human? Even after we mate he would still not be strong enough to defend me against my uncle..  

Bah. I need to get these thoughts out of my head. I ran my fingers through my head as I looked at my almost ghost like reflection in my mirror. I looked tired, and I suppose I was, running from him an' all. I better go downstairs and try to keep Zane from snooping around ..

Zane POV

She'd been gone for only about ten minutes, but it was enough for me to get a general idea of what kind of person she was. There were pictures on the walls in the hallway, many of Skylar and her mother, and a few of an older woman who was pregnant. That caused me to raise an eyebrow before dismissing it as it could have been another family member, maybe a aunt or something. 

I looked around before going into another small room, it turned out to be a study/ library. It wasn't that big, but there were plenty of books upon the shelves already. The ones that caught my eye were folders. Big, fat, white folders. There was the same label on all three of them, 'Skylar's baby photos' I took the first one off and turned the cover, to see the woman who was pregnant holding baby Skylar. Only in this picture she wasn't pregnant. She had long straight black hair and deep brown eyes, and her face resembled Skylars. Wait a second. I looked down to the description and it read: 

'I wish they had more time together, my sister and her daughter. When I no look at Skylar I see her mother's face, and she grows more beautiful every day.' 

So, that woman in the picture, was Skylar's mother?! Then who was the woman who called after her today? Did Skylar know about this? Surely she would, she would have gone snooping for herself. I whipped out my phone and text James. 

'Dude, do whatever you can to get information on Skylar Jeyne. I'll see you at the pack house tonight.' I didn't wait for a reply as I slid my phone back into my pocket and placed the folder back on the shelf. Just in time, as it seemed.

"Zane?" Skylars voice rang through the house, and I could tell she was still on the stairs. I came out of the study/library and saw her jump off the last step. Cute. She turned around to look at me, slightly confused. "What were you doing in there?" She asked, coming over and closing the door properly.

I shrugged, putting on a not-bothered face. "Just looking around" 

She stood still for a second before turning around again and walking into what seemed to be a living room. There was a black cornered sofa, which had a longer side closest to the wall. She slumped down onto it, her face narrowly missing the material. I smirked as I came up to her to see that she kept her head down. 

"Tch." I mumbled as I sat down on her, making her squeak and wriggle about underneath me. Her head lifted up with her hair in her eyes, but she managed to pull most of her body from mine. 

"Do you have to sit on me?" Her eyes narrowed as she got her foot free. 

"You took all the space, princess." I winked.

She just stared at me for a few seconds before turning her head and clicking on the tv. 

"Since you're guest and you'll lecture me about being a 'good hostess' and all, what would you like to watch?" She said, handing me the remote.

I took it and looked through the channels before finding the movie one. It said it was playing Paranormal Activity. Sweet. I clicked it and it began. I looked to the side of me, seeing Skylar holding a pillow closely to her chest. I guess she didn't like horror or scary movies then. This would be fun. 

Every now and then I kept looking in her direction to see what she was doing. I noticed that she was slowly inching towards me, still clutching the pillow in her arms. The silence was broken when there was a loud bang on the movie, causing her to squeak slightly and jump, almost landing on me. 

"If you wanted a hug you could just ask, Sky." I said, giving her another smirk. Her face went red for a second before she buried it into my shoulder and didn't look back at the screen. She would occasionally jump a little when there was a loud noise, but apart from that, nothing. I ended up with one arm around her, comforting her.

Skylar POV

That damn boy. When I came down stairs he had come out of the study. What was he doing in there? I would find out later, but I had to distract him somehow. I ended up letting him choose what he wanted to watch, otherwise he'd tell me I was being a terrible host. He just had to choose Paranormal Activity. I hated movies that were base on real storeys that were about ghosts and stuff. It just freaked me out. I ended up sat close to him with my head leaning on his shoulder as I looked the other way. I felt his arm go around me and I wanted to shake it off. Or did I? My wolf purred with delight, wishing he would do the same with the other arm. Thank god he didn't, or I wouldn't have been able to control myself. 

"Skylar, it's ended." He said, using his other hand to lift my chin so he could see my face. He was staring intently into my eyes, searching them. My eyes fluttered down to look at his lips, before going back up to meet his eyes. Those beautiful eyes. No! Don't get tempted! Resist the temptation! I was struggling for dominance over my wolf as I was closing the distance between the two of us. I finally got  ahold of myself and pushed myself backwards. He was sat there, looking slightly dumbfounded. 

"U-uh, sorry." I said, looking down at the floor. 

"It's okay." I heard him say as he stood up. I felt the sofa cushion rise. "I had to go about now anyway. See ya at school." He walked out, closing the front door behind him quietly. What had I done? I felt so bad. What was I doing? If he was my mate why was I being like this? Why was I trying so hard not to kiss him. Was I .. ? I was resisting temptation itself.
