Love, Lust and Alpha Mates

What the hell?

I walk past the pool with Levi to my left, I see him glance at me looking at him... he smirks as he realises I'm checking him out.

Damm that was a close one, did I really want my step brother to kiss me....woah that was pretty hot the way he held me with such strength and underlying heat....

What the hell am I going to do I think to myself...Is he really my mate or am I just deluding myself... I know I think he's hot but I know he's a man whore. I saw the skank he was with last night, what if that was his girlfriend.... damn this is gonna kill my mom and Ian... and what about Van he's gonna hit the roof. He asked me specifically to keep away from him...

We start walking towards the door to the main house when I stop suddenly. Levi turns around looking at where I'd stopped with a confused look.

"I don't wanna be rude but I just met you, and all this talk about mates is freaking my the eff out.. like you said I have to wait until I turn 18 to know for sure, until then can we keep this on the down low.. I turn 18 in 6 weeks so can we just hold off till then?" I ask quickly and quietly.

Levi straightens up suddenly and frowns.. "You're denying me???"

I look up to see the hurt and rage pouring out of his strong eyes...

"No I'm not I just asked if we could just keep it between us until we both know for sure "

"You don't think I'm good enough is that it.. your waiting for a better offer?... unf**kin believable... " he rages with his hands clenched to his sides.

I stare at him with wide eyes... he looks so much like Vale right now that I brace myself and step backwards closing my eyes...

I look up quickly as I wait for the yelling to start... Levi stands there in shock as he see's my reaction to his outburst.

His eyes drop as he realizes he's just scared me... "Just don't tell anyone please" I whisper as I walk past him quickly trying to distant myself from him and the tension.

I walk into the main house looking for mom and Ian... I walk into the kitchen as I see mom making the finishing touches to her roast dinner....

"Hi honey hows was your first night?"

"It was good thanks mom, I checked out the gym this morning and spent the rest of the day unpacking and hanging out with Van" I smile as I help her set the table.

"That's good honey sorry I wasn't around I had a double shift at the hospital"

See moms a paediatric surgeon so she is always so busy. Ian is one of her emergency dr's in the ER specializing in wolves so they spend a lot of time at the hospital together.

I smile as I see Ian walk in holding two small boxes as he sits at the head of the table. I hear him and Levi catching up casually as I help mom with the last of the dinner preparations. I sit down with Levi opposite me waiting for Ian to bless the meal. As I'm about to Digg in I see mom and Ian nod to each other.

"Well before we eat we would like to talk to you two about a few thing's " Ian says as he tries not to use his alpha tone to his family.

I look at them and nod encouraging him to continue because I'm starving.

"Firstly welcome Tia to our family and our pack" he smiles

"Now we know you two are nearly grownups but we wanna go through a few things with you guys. You will be responsible for yourselves in the pool house; we ask that you keep it clean. We will arrange food to be delivered to your kitchen on a weekly basis but because of our work hours and commitment to the pack you two will have to take care of yourselves with lunches and dinners, except Sundays. Sundays we will have a family roast every week" he smiles as he looks at me and Levi with a serious face.
