Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

It seemed to have bound the mates together. Crossbreeds are less powerful than those when both of them are of the supernatural vellum. We have also noticed that one mate's presence can make the other heal quicker than before.

For this we did conduct a small experiment where we tried to focus on how long it would take for a man to heal given that his mate was there to tend to his needs and where the other one did not have his mate around him. It took the former around an hour or two at most two fully heal whereas the one without the mate took six to seven hours. 

She sighed. This chapter had talked nowhere near the death of the mate because of the other. She had once again reached a dead end. But then again she glanced at how many pages there were in the book that were left. Almost one fourth of her thumb was the part that she had read. The rest was to be seen. 

She sighed again and then stretched in her chair. 

This was too much work frankly. Why could she not have anyone else do it for her? 

"Ma'am Quill?" 

She turned around at the tiny voice and found a maid standing at the door of her room. Adeline beckoned her in. 

"What is it?"

The maid answered her with a polite smile, "The dinner is ready. We would be serving it in 10 minutes. Do you want me to remind you 5 minutes prior?'

The young girl shook her head. "I'll be down in a moment." She said as the maid nodded and left the room. 

Adelene moved to the bathroom to wash her face and then wash her hands thoroughly. She then found herself to be in the dining room. She knew the major rooms of this house by now and it was not hard to trace them. 

That had happened after she had failed at it several times and they had to be someone who would show her the way. 

"Good evening," she wished Mr. Korr who was already seated. "Where's Aunt?" 

Korr wished for her bag before answering, "She is actually taking a bath and would be a moment or two. She said it's no problem if we dine into the food before her." 

"We can wait." Adeline had no problem with waiting so she said that. And quite frankly it would be her and that she would talk to most. 

Then she remembered something. 

"Mr. Korr," she began and the man looked at her, "I hope you remember our conversation at the headmaster's office."

"What about it?" 

"I do not want to change my last name. I understand my aunt's but I do not understand why there was a need to change mine." She answered. 

He leaned back into the chair, forgetting the etiquettes that he had been taught when he was on a table, "Adeline, in the human world it was your aunt who held your guardianship. You are her ward but here your aunt is my mate and since she is not a wolf, I am the one that is going to decide things for her and ultimately you." 

She gulped. "I don't get that." It was her last name. she should be given the choice to retain it! 

He nodded, but he seemed irritated with it. "There are things right no more than your aunt in this world. Things that only supernatural no and are capable of which is why I have decided to take on your guardianship from her. Your aunt, dare I say, is powerless in this world which is why I have taken control." He raised a finger, "just like you are abusive towards dogs and other animals in your word we can be abusive towards humans. You should be thankful otherwise people would have been behaving badly, much badly." 

That was not fair. More people going to bully her sympathy for the fact that she was a human now? The irony was she could not even question their humanity. 

"But. . .my name?" She tried again. 

Korr breathed in a harsh breath, "you are my niece Now. Since you do not have a father here it is obvious that you will have my last name. You are my niece and that is the end of the story." He stood up, "If you excuse me I shall come back once your aunt does. We would not mind if we had already begun eating." 

She looked down at her glass of water as she repeatedly blinked her eyes to get rid of the tears. She could hear him walking as much as she could before it finally drifted away. 

Harsh, that was Harsh. 

"Please don't think bad of that," she heard the familiar voice of the maid who once again stood at the corner of the room. This time Adaline did not beckon her close. 

She came forward herself. "We are naturally possessive creatures. It just does not happen with mates but family members also. He treats you like his own which is why he wants you to have his last name to allow you to have the protection and every opportunity that his name can bring to you." 

"Ohh," so they were possessive for every last family member? "So I really cannot ever have my last name back?"

The maid shook her head. "I do want to say something that would make you feel better but then I would be lying. The truth is you're not going back to your world anytime soon and since you are under his care I would say make the most of it." 

She had heard a lot many times. She was not going to go back to her own world anytime soon so why should she even try? She felt like giving it all up. 

Adeline stood up from the chair that she was sitting on and raised her hand towards the maid, " I'm Adeline." 

The maid smiled and took her hand in hers, "I am Zara."
