Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adelene stood up and since the teacher was not present it was easy for her to walk out of the class but she stopped in the middle of the hallway. 

"What?" Elizabeth whispered right behind her. She was holding their bags. 

Adeline bit her lip and turned to her. "Do you know where Xavier is? I have no idea." 

Elizabeth facepalmed. " Well," she looked around, " I don't either but, for you, you just follow your heart."

"What?" Adeline barked, "my heart says to go out of this world and back into mine."

"You're dead there. So you could try." Elizabeth handed Adeline her bag, "but other than that, try." She said before going back to class leaving Adeline to stand there alone. 

Listen to her heart? She wondered how Elizabeth could say that. 

With everything that Adeline had been through it was pretty obvious that she was now going to listen to her brain instead of her heart.

She did not know what came over her but she turned around and started walking in the opposite direction from where she was previously going. She moved up the stairs and ascended floor by floor. 

Finally she stepped onto the floor and stopped at the first door. She did not know why she came here. All she knew was this was where her heart led. 

She placed her hand on the handle and twisted it open. The next thing she knew was every eye on the room turned to her. 

"Hi," she waved around, a bit shy, to all the people in the room. 

"Hello." A chorus of greetings ran around the room as everyone treated adaline. 

She licked her lip, "I wanted to talk to Xavier if that's okay with you all." 

Everyone stared at her before in one go. She watched in slight panic as everyone stood up immediately, took their bags with them and walked out of the room but not before giving her a small bye and giving her a smile. 

And within seconds Adeline was alone in the room with Xavier because some idiot had closed the door on his way out.

Suddenly the room felt thick. She felt suffocated and found it difficult to breathe. 

How was it that, one day she longed for his touch and fell apart from him when he was in the house next to her and now being in the same room as him made her suffocate. 

"You want to talk?" His deep voice made her job as likely as she came out of her thoughts and looked at him. He was sitting at the last bench spread out slightly and staring at her. 

"Y-yes," she cleared her throat. "I—"

"Come and sit near me Adeline. There is no need for us to sit in two different corners." 

She gulped. She slowly moved to the row where he was sitting and sat on the bench that was in the adjacent throw. 

"I was wondering if you would help me with . ." She almost went when she realised that this might be the fourth time for her to say the word out loud. The missing link had been something that now irritated her to speak out loud. 

He looked at her patiently and she went back to talking, "I was thinking about finding a solution or at least screening the resources to why males die without each other. There must be some reason that would—" 

"There is not." His answer came straight away and it surprised her completely. 

Adelaine snapped her eyes to his. "What?" 

He nodded, "it's funny for everyone to think that we have never thought of this. Do you know how many monarchies were on the verge of falling down just because one of the two as the ruling couple passed away. It was just about time to when the other one would follow. We have tried it, Adeline, there are many things that just don't make sense." 

Adeline felt all the hope walk away. She didn't expect him to do. It hurt when he did this. 

"Oh," she whispered, "but what if I want to just try?" She offered. 

"Why would you do that?" Xavier threw her way. "What is it that this world is to you for you to do that for us?" 

That shut her up. She sighed and leaned back into the chair. " I just wanted to help." 

"Unwanted help is never welcomed." His smooth voice came through immediately. 

She bit her lip. "Unwanted?" She muttered. "Is there anything as unwanted help?" 

She could feel him watching her. Her side profile was facing him and she knew that he was staring at her. 

"I don't know," he said, "I would Nathaniel—Noah's help was unwanted, no?"

Her lip trembled and tears came to her eyes ready to slip out as she glared at him. "Really? Don't be petty."

He scoffed, "You have not seen me be petty." 

"If that is anything like this, then I would say avoid showing it." She snapped. " I just wanted to help Xavier. There is nothing that you have to be petty about." 

He glared back, "We don't need it." 

She replied, "care to tell if you don't need it, why is the problem not solved yet."

"Because it does not concern stupid human."

" Stupid?!" She yelped, "I scored more than you did!" 

"Do that now," he challenged, "How is economics anyway?" 

Why was he doing this? She felt like he hated her for without any reason. How was it that whenever she was with him she felt like he was putting everything to be her fault. 

"You . ." She eased back on the eyes and looked at him with sadness and curiosity, "do you do this on purpose? Do you like making jabs at me?" 

"What do you think?" Even now, he was still glaring at her. 

Oh so he wanted her opinion? She stood up and stood at the end of his bench staring down at him, "I think that you're just scared inside and you're taking it out on me for no reason. Here I said it, I am just a petty human and you the mighty lycan and you want to take your anger out on me?" 

She stepped back and Snapped, "Grow up." Before walking away.
