Obsession novel Chapter 54

I was currently watching TV when Ian walked to me and kissed me on my cheek.

"Baby, I have to go into town to get some groceries. You stay here and I'm putting Ethan in charge of babysitting you" Ian says and I scoff, turning to him.

"No fucking way- you cannot be serious" I say and Ian shrugs.

"First of all, language is a big no no. Second of all, Alex is busy training our packs and Tyler happens to need training too. Ethan has been with you while you got training and he knows what's going on. You need protection, I need to get groceries, else we're all going to die of starvation. And you cannot come with me because the least we need now is attention drawn to you. Especially if someone sees you with me, it's over for us" Ian says and I sigh. I guess he was right.

"Okay?" Ian says and gently lifts my chin to look into his icy blue eyes.

I nod and he chuckles.

"Alright, do you need anything from the shop?" Ian asks and I nod.

"I need birth control- mine has run out and I don't want to start my period or get pregnant. Please?" I ask him and he nods, typing it in his phone.

"A certain type I'm assuming?" He asks and I nod, him handing the phone to me and I type it out, handing it back to him.

"Anything else?" He asks and I shake my head.

"I'm good if you know what type of groceries to get" I giggle and he chuckles.

"Yes of course I do" He boops me on my nose, kissing my forehead and gets up.

"I'll see you in a few hours. Message me or call me if you need anything, or if anything goes wrong, mindlink me, okay princess?" Ian asks and I nod my head.

"I will, I promise" I say and he smiles.

"Also, please behave for me?" He asks and I roll my eyes playfully, but nod.

"Promise?" He asks and pouts.

"I promise" I giggle and blow him a kiss, making him smile and walk out to his car, climbing in and driving off. I turn back to the T.V and watch it.

A few minutes later, Ethan walks in, his scent familiar to me.

I avoid his gaze and watch the screen.

He sits down on the couch across from me.

"No one was killing an innocent man. That human wanted to be a sacrifice and that's his way of selling his soul to satan. After that process he immediately becomes resurrected and he automatically turns into a demon, and one of our followers. That's how you pay Grayson and I. Evil is a scary thing and that's why we ask you to stay in the house at certain times, more than others" Ethan says and I get goosebumps.

"You never fought for me Ethan. You could of if you really wanted to" I say softly, fiddling with my fingers.

"If you had just told me that you were leaving, of course I would of. But you never told me, all you did was block my number and pretend like I never existed" Ethan says

"Wrong. If I had to keep your number and if I had contact with you, Grayson would of done something bad to you, and Grayson would of never left me, or you alone. I did this for the best" I say and he scoffs.

"The best? The best for who? For you or for me? Because where I'm sitting right now your life is going good, you've got a charming Alpha to be with who also, would worship the ground you walk on, you've got a whole pack that respects you, you're happy. Me? No. I haven't gotten sleep in weeks, I haven't fed or hunted in weeks. I haven't felt any emotion other than betrayal and my heart been torn to shreds by someone I thought would be my everything. Clearly I wasn't good enough" He says and I just started crying. I tried keeping the tears in but it just kept flowing.

"I'm sorry Ethan. But it was for the best" I say softly and he shakes his head.

"What? You tell yourself that so you can feel better by what you did? Well you know what Skye, I hope you're happy with your end product. And the most pathetic and stupid part about all of this is, even after you left me, make me feel like nothing, rip my heart open, I still come back, turning my back on my brother, to protect you. Because you know what? That's what you do when you love somebody" Ethan says and I just carry on crying.

Ethan shakes his head and I could see that he'd been crying as well, and he walked upstairs.

I curl up into a ball on the couch and cover myself with the blanket. My heart hurt. I didn't know what to think or say. I fuck up everything around me. I hurt everybody and push anybody that cares for me away.

I cried softly and eventually fell asleep.
