Awake is typically meant as a state of being. Example: "I was awake all night". Wake is the verb form. An example would be something like "At 7am wake me up". But awake is sometimes used as a verb in an archaic or literary contexts. Typically though, 'awake' is used as an adjective and 'wake' is the verb.
