Two

"Yeah, I can see that! You need to fix this!"

He continued to stare at me as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Well that makes two of us buddy!

"Hello? Aren't you going to say anything?" I waved my hand in front of his unmoving body.

Within a second he had me lying flat on my back on the bed, both my hands were above my head in a tight grip as his body pushed down on mine.

"What are you doing?" I asked as I tried to get out of his grip.

"Be quiet." His voice was low and deadly and he had a dark look in his eye.

I did what he asked and stopped struggling. With his free hand he tilted my head to the side without being gentle causing pain to erupt from there. His hand then pressed down on the mark which made me to let out a hiss, it hurt when pressure was applied to it or I moved too quickly.

I moved my head back so I was facing him and his eyes met mine.

"What did you do?" His voice was barely a whisper, but I heard him loud and clear.

"Me? What did I do? Or what did you do to me?"

"You are not my mate." He frowned.

"I know that, I don't want to be your mate, either." I told him as his eyes narrowed down at the mark in disgust.

"So we are in agreement? You do not want this?" He asked as his hand went back to my neck.

"Of course I don't. So you can fix this?" Hope filled my body at this possibility. He can fix this and we can go on with our lives like nothing happened.

"Yes." He muttered as his hand slightly tightened on my neck. "There is only one solution to this problem."

"Well then do it!" I rushed.

"Death."

"Oka- wait what?" I gasped out, searching his face to see if he was joking.

Oh shit, he looked serious.

"Okay. you can let go of my neck now." I let out a weak laugh as panic began to fill me. He isn't actually going to kill me, is he?

There was silent for a few seconds as he stared at me.

"Jacob?" I called out.

His eyes flashed golden for a second before going back to blue making me question whether it even rurned golden or not in the first place. I must be hallucinating now.

He removed his hands off me and sat up. I followed his lead but moved away from him, my heart pounding erratically in my chest.

I cleared my throat. "What are we going to do now?

"I am going to take a shower. Do not leave this room." Jacob told me as he stood up.

I averted my eyes from his naked body. He stood in front of me and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

"Do not leave this room." He repeated.

"Okay." I lied, trying my best not to look down.

He released my chin and began walking towards the bathroom. I watched as he went into the bathroom and waited until I heard him turn the shower on.

As soon as I heard that, I jumped off the bed and grabbed ny shoes, my hands fumbling with the strap causing me to yell in frustration. My bag was still in the bathroom and even though I didn't want to risk going in and getting caught I had no choice, it had my money, phone and house key in there.

After standing in front of the door for a couple of minutes, I knocked loudly and walked in, my eyes focused on the ground.

"I'm just getting my bag. I need to use my phone." I yelled as I grabbed my bag that was on the floor near the sink.

He didn't answer and as soon as I got my bag, I left the bathroom and ran out of the room. I unlocked the phone and ordered myself an uber. The closest one was ten minutes away and I groaned in frustration. What if he finished his shower and found me gone? Would he come after me?

As soon as the lift reached the ground floor, I exited it and walked towards the front of the hotel. From the corner of my eye, I watched as the receptionist looked me up and down with disgust.

"Hey don't look at me like that, I know you've seen way worse." I blasted.

The receptionist ignored me and I headed out the door. Breathing in the fresh air, I leaned against the wall.

"What the fuck have you done, Evelyn?" I muttered to myself as I closed my eyes.

This was bad, really really bad. Not only am I now mated to a Lycan, but out of all of them it had to be Jacob! Calling him a psychopath was being polite, that guy was something else, indescribable.

I got into the uber as soon as it came, got home and ran into my house making sure to lock the door behind me. I needed a shower and a plan ASAP.

When I got into my bathroom, I forced myself to get relieved before stripping out of my clothes and turning the shower on.

After a long, what was supposed to be a relaxing, shower I finally got out and wrapped a towel around my body. I thought the shower would have helped me and my muscles relax but instead I was just as tense, if not more, than I was when I first got into the shower.

I wiped the mirror with my hand and stared at the stupid bitch that ruined my life. To think yesterday all I was worried about was getting a job and having no

direction in my life, now I don't even know if I'll have a life to worry about anymore.

I thought back to when Jacob had his hand wrapped around my neck, would he have killed me? It would have so easy for him to do it and it would have meant nothing to him.

A sudden twinge in my chest had me looking down. What the hell was that? I opened my towel and peered down making sure nothing was there. After finding nothing there, I covered the towel and moved my hair away so I could have a look at the hideous thing on my neck.

Ah man, now that I was fully awake it looked even more ugly than before. I turned away from the mirror before I had a breakdown and headed to my room.

I sat down on the bed and grabbed my phone. I had a couple of messages from Jane which I ignored. I know it was ridiculous but I was pissed off at her for ditching me yesterday, maybe if she stayed this wouldn't have happened.

No, I had no one but to blame except for myself and Jacob. I had to take responsibility for my actions. I sent Jane short message saying I'll call her later before tossing my phone on the bed and heading over to my wardrobe.

I took my time getting dressed and at one point contemplated getting into my pyjamas before I chose a thick cream jumper and dark blue jeggings. My hair was still wet and I decided to leave it and let it air dry.

As I went downstairs, I headed to the kitchen. I don't know what it is, but every time I have a shower I need food afterwards, I just feel so hungry. I could have a huge meal, have a shower and then after the shower I would be starving, so for me it was just better having a shower first then food.

I couldn't be bothered making anything fancy for breakfast, I never did, so I grabbed some milk and heated it up while I got some Coco Pops out. As I was waiting for the milk to heat up, I put some water in the kettle and turned it on.

A nice cup of tea always made everything better.

"Evelyn."

I turned around and found the man I hated the most in the world standing in front of me.

"How did you get into my house?" I questioned as I put my hand over my chest, trying to calm my breathing down.

"I broke your door." Jacob simply said as he stared at me.

"Great, that's just great. Why are you here?" I subtly eyed the knives that were near the window. How quickly could I grab one?

"That will not kill me." Jacob smiled, nodding his head towards the knives as if reading my thoughts.

I don't know what you're talking about." I told him as I turned the microwave off so my milk wouldn't be too hot.

"If it soothes your fear, take one. I do not mind."

"I'm not scared of you." I stated as I crossed my arms.

Jacob raised his eyebrows but didn't comment. I turned around and continued to make my breakfast.

"You need to replace my door, I can't have any more psychos coming into my place. One is more than enough." I said without turning back.

I felt him take a couple of steps towards me and I tried my best not to panic or show him how I was feeling.

"Does it hurt?" he asked and this time turned around to face him and caught his eye.

Though his tone implied he could care less, his eyes were a different story.

Does he actually care? Nah, I must be seeing things.

"Not really." I shrugged, "So why are you here?"

"We need to talk."
