Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

He was right Tessa Realised because moments after he had announced that the king was here. Drums had started to beat and she could hear the cheers going on by the people that lived in the capital.

"He is." She agreed looking out of the window and then to her so-called mate. "Is he going to come here? I suppose he would like to meet her after being a no show for weeks. Where was he anyway?"

It irritated her to no extend that when her niece have been laying on a bed unconscious for straight three weeks he had been a no show. She wondered if he even cared about her anymore.

"He's an Alpha Lycan love," Korr sighed, shaking his head, "Alphas do not leave their mate alone when found. If he did then, I believe the king had a strong reason to do so which is why he has been away for weeks straight."

"Alpha don't leave their mates?" She repeated with a frown," but you're not an Alpha wolf. You told me that you were normal Lycan."

"I am." He said, yet proud.

"Then," she titled her head, "how is it that Alpha cannot leave them alone and you cannot either?"

He hummed loudly and shifted to standing up and asked for her hand which she gave to him reluctantly. "Because I am shifter by Nature who is possessive. As the rank increases possessiveness increases along with the protectiveness because the mate of the Alpha will be targeted first as he is the head of the pack."

"Not any other wolf?"

"Might, yes, infact them too," he agreed, " but it is more like if you target the mate of the Alpha, he will go crazy with power, especially when the Luna is involved. She is the one that's going to make the pack prosper and ground him, steer him. In the absence of a Luna for a long time pack suffer and at times even die out and with her absence alpha's mentality also suffers. It is often seen that one can go completely rabid if deprived from his mate for long."

Holy shit, she raised her eyebrows for second, this clearly meant that they were not going to let Adaline go because their leader was going to suffer in her absence.

"Wait!" She halted their movements when he was leading her out, "how is it that he could stay away from her for seven months then?"

He nodded thoughtfully at that. Biting his lip as he thought about it made him insanely attractive and she wanted for a second. If this man was not someone completely opposite to a human she would have actually fallen for te man.

"I don't know," he sighed, "no one knew that he actually had found his made. They all thought that it was a delay and that he was without one but that he had found his mate and was staying away from her for seven months was actually astonishing and it did it affect him. How he did it no one can tell you because we do not know."

'He's eyes are sad,' she noticed immediately, 'why the hell are his eyes sad? What ever happened happened to Xavier who was the king but that did that mean whatever their king felt, they felt too?'

She wondered what it was all about.

Her eyes turned to the hallways where he was leading her. Slowly the walls on her right side disappeared and came the foyer of the palace. It was way too grand and they had to walk a lot.

The huge doors were opened for the king's entrance and from the second floor above she watched what was happening.

Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the boy once she had seen in Adeline's phone and now he no longer looked like a 17 year old guy like but a fully grown wrestler now. He was bigger and seemed to be more rough and dangerous than before.

How did he gain so much of weight to actually turn into one? She wondered. Everyone here was so tall in fact it seemed that he had actually grown a foot taller while he was away from Adaline.

She gasped, Adeline!

She stepped back to return to the room that she had been taken away from when she felt a hand curl around her elbow and pull her back.

"Don't," Korr mumbled in her ear and it went straight to the core. It rippled and she shuddered.

She shook it off. "I have to go back to her."

Korr shook his head and brought her closer. "The king is here, my love. It is him now that will be with the queen. You do not want to be in between them right now. His beast is going to be unpredictable."

" I don't—"

"Ms. Theresa,"

She jumped and tunred around. It was him, he stood in front of her and she felt herself bow a little. It was a force pushing her to do so. 

He was hella intimidating.

"Uh. .urm. ." She stuttered, not knowing what to say to him now that he stood so close to her. How was she to address him? As Adeline's ex boyfriend or her mate or a new king of a different species?

"Your highness," her mate, Korr bowed, "This is my mate, Theresa Aldone, and her majesty's aunt."

She looked away from her so called mate when he stopped talking and then turn to the king. "Yes, that." She pointed out but then frowned. He changed her surname! 

"Thank you for keeping company to my mate. I understand that you are worried about the condition she is in but if there any changes, we will let you know. You will have your acknowledgement as close family once my mate wakes up." He spoke in a baritone voice as a robot as if he had no emotions.

She narrowed eyes at him. It did not get past her that he was absent almost all of the time where as her child suffered. "Why are you here now?" She snapped at the man who was twice size of her, "go back to whatever hole you had crawled into!" She yelled at the top of her voice making everyone still.
