His Obsession

Chapter 19

Levi

I stare down at Adelaide crumpled on the ground holding her body, and I can tell by how flushed her body is that she is going through heat. Finally, her smell hits me but it's not the usual scent I'm used to. It's tainted and has a masculine edge to it.

A growl escapes me as I accuse her "You fucked him, didn't you?"

"What? How do you-it's none of your fucking business!" she cries back at me.

"And there she is, my slut of a sister" I snarl at her.

"I'm not a slut Levi!" she screams "He's my fucking mate!"

"You're just a fuck toy Adelaide, or else he would have marked you" I say to her. I leave her crying on the ground and walk back towards campus.

Five years ago Adelaide walked into my life. I remember the day perfectly. My mother and I went for supper with her and her father – to get to know them before we all moved in together to become a great big happy family. I was so pissed at my mother for just running into another relationship, and dragging me along in. But when I walked into the restaurant I was instantly taken aback by her beauty. This small, tiny, awkward girl with the cutest grin across her face was going to be my step-sister. I knew that I was going to have to protect her from assholes. Protect her the way I couldn't protect my mother from my father.

My father was an abusive drunk, which for him was all the time. If he wasn't gone on pack missions then he was at home drinking. It didn't matter what my mother did, she always found a way to fuck something up. And when she fucked something up, he beat her. The first time I saw this happen was when I was twelve. I tried to protect her and make my father stop, but he just laughed and started beating me instead.

This lasted for two years. Whenever I was home and they got into an argument, I always tried to protect my mom, but it never worked. At some point I started working out, training more, so I could get stronger and stop the fucking asshole. The only problem with that was that it meant I wasn't at home as often, and so I couldn't stop him from beating on her.

I improved quickly with my training and the Alpha noticed and started putting me on missions, of course I got sent out with my father. Until one time I had had enough of his shit. We were getting attacked by a large group of rogues. I was battling with them when one was able to take down my father. The rogue had him pinned on the ground, and I probably had enough time to save him, but there was something in me that told me not to. All of the flashback of the countless times he beat my mother had flooded my mind and I didn't want him to live anymore. I watched as the rogue took a swipe at his throat and the blood pouring from his neck, and I felt nothing. I ended up killing all of the remaining rogues because I couldn't have any evidence that I never stopped them from killing my father.

Shortly after that my mother made us move to the campus because she wanted a fresh start and to get away from our old pack. The only problem was that she always needed to be with a guy. Most of them were harmless, all of them were pathetic until she met Dean, Adelaide's father. He was actually a decent man.

I was amazed by Adelaide from the very beginning. Even at thirteen she was one of the strongest females at school; she clearly had warrior blood in her veins from her mother. However, she was also clueless as to her own beauty. Everywhere we went she had guys staring at her and she was oblivious to it all.

I was getting jealous of all the stares because I was starting to fall for her, and I didn't want to see her with any of those assholes. Then one day I overheard her and Emma talking about a guy in my grade that had asked her to the dance that was coming up. I knew the guy they were talking about and he was a world class douche.

I waited until Emma left and then I went into Adelaide's room and told her that there was no way in hell she was going to the dance with that guy. We got into a fight and she was yelling at me that I was being too over-protective and that she could go to the dance with whomever she wanted to. I don't know what got into me, but the next thing I knew I punched her in the face. I heard her jaw crack and I couldn't believe what I had done. I guess the apple didn't fall from my father's tree after all.

Fast forward to three years later, and I had become the fucking asshole that I swore, the first night I met her, I would protect her from. I had somehow managed to justify it to myself that she was strong enough to take the beatings. She was a werewolf after all, and she healed quickly. And I was stopping her from being sexually used by guys that didn't care for her, not the way I cared for her. I had fallen completely in love with her and I hated myself for everything that I was doing to her, but I couldn't stop myself. I just prayed that when she turned eighteen she would become my mate and somehow be able to forgive me.

I never necessarily wanted to become a Beta, but I had joined Alpha Jake's pack to be a part of something. One day I overheard him talking about Adelaide and the way he was going to seduce her into fucking him. He was twenty-one and wanted to fuck my sixteen year-old sister, it was disgusting.

I went to Alpha Jake and told him that I wanted to challenge him for the Beta position. I didn't care that he was older than me, because I knew I could take him down. Alpha Jake didn't have much of a choice, because once a challenge is called, you pretty much just have to let it happen. I was so enraged by the guy, that I almost killed him in the fight. I beat the shit out of him and Alpha Jake had to pull me off of him.

When Alpha Jake asked me to move in, I told him that I wanted to stay in my families' house. Truth was I wasn't ready to leave Adelaide behind.

As I snap back to reality, I realize I don't know what I'm going to do. I have a mate now and it's not fucking Adelaide. No, the cruel joke is it has to be her best friend. Don't get me wrong the attraction to Emma is ridiculous, but everything I've ever felt for Adelaide is still there too.

The heat that came radiating off of her, while she was naked on the ground, was enough to drive me crazy. It had taken all of my self-control not to take her right then and there. However, I would never have been able to forgive myself for that. For all the times I had hit her, I had never sexually abused her... well at least not until she found her mate. Plus, I had a mate now and I wasn't going to hurt Emma. I needed to get away from Adelaide.
