Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline felt a pull. It was not physically but somehow seemed to be pulling her towards a certain direction. She found it to be very daunting to how when there was no rope or chain attached to pull her into some direction. 

She stood up from the bed placing the book aside and walked to the window to see what it was. There was no one there. She narrowed her eyes on the forest behind the house. How was it that if no one was there she felt a pull? 

She took it as a challenge to find out what was happening but mainly it was because she had nothing better to do. Her uncle and aunt were yet to return. 

Adelen walked out of her room and then down the stairs before opening the door to the backyard. She stepped out of the house only to step back slightly when she saw it. 

The same monster that she had once seen Alexander and Ashlynn turn into. 

She stepped back but the beast did not move which is why she was a little confident otherwise the beast would have attacked her now. 

Her eyes squinted as she found recognition in those eyes. Could it be? 

She opened her mouth to speak but before she could utter a word the beast bowed in front of her. 

What in the world?

She watched as the beast got on one knee and then bowed his head in front of her. 

It was confirmed. He was Xavier. 

She moved slowly, still not trusting the fact that there was an animal in front of her that could attack her any moment. Her hand reached out and she patted his neck. 

It was so soft! "Your fur is softer than I imagined!" She gushed out and he gave a wolfish snort to that. 

Her fingers went through the thick hair and disappeared in between. He definitely had more hair on his neck than she did on her head. 

It felt so intimate to touch him like this. 

He stood up and then turned his back to her, making her frown. "What are you doin—Oh no!" She gasped and shook her head. She stepped back repeatedly as she kept on shaking her head now. 

She definitely caught on to what he was talking about. "I am not getting on your back Xavier!" 

The Lycan made a sound. Did it just grumble? 

The beast stood up and walked in front of Adaline and then turned his back again. 

"No!" She Snapped. "In what way do you think of yourself as a horse?" 

He huffed and then wiggled back. 

"I don't— Hey!" I was ready to answer him when he shifted again and she fell over him. Without waiting any further for her to get up from him, he stood up making her cling onto him before taking off into the jungle. 

She said the wind hit her mouth at the speed of which he was going. Adaline hid her face in his neck. With the speed that they were going at Adeline was scared that they might barge their faces into a tree. 

Xavier continued to run and they did not meet any kind of tree so Adeline risked raising her head slightly and peeking over his shoulder. 

Slowly a small smile came on her face and she raised her head to keep it on his shoulder as She watched him run. This was a different feeling. 

Yet, the best one she had ever felt. 

She giggled. She felt so free.

Her hair flew in the direction that wind blew. The cold and crispy wind hit her in the face and it made her grimace. 

Slowly the trees disappeared and came in front of them acute clearing. Xavier bent down and Adeline got off his back trembling as her feet were wombles. 

She giggled as if drunk. This was so cool.

He shifted back and her eyes widened before she looked away. What the hell? 

She placed her hand over her eyes, she hissed, "Would you get dressed?" 

He chuckled, "were you not the one who asked to mate with me earlier?" 

"Do it." 

She heard him walk away but did not open her eyes. 

"I'm dressed," he walked up to her and took her hand of her eyes before taking the same hand and dragging her to a tree. "Let's talk." 

They both sat down and leave their backs against the tree. "What do you want to talk about?" Adeline asked him and she brought her knees closer to get chest and lean her head against them. 

"Anything," he said and then added, "what do you know about your father's death?" Her expressions changed and so did the scent of her feelings. It was not an unnecessary topic rather something you did not want to be hidden from her. 

She gulped. "He died in the accident. That was technically caused by the wolf that rammed his body into the car." 

Xavier nodded Slowly, "do you know why?"

"No," she said straightway, "I never bothered to know." 

"We found the body of a sick wolf in the park where I had taken you on date. There we found . . . . Some evidence regarding your presence." He hesistated, "animals have a good sense of smell and the only thing we could smell was your fear." 

She frowned, "do you think I killed it?" She accused, "do you actually think that I killed a wolf even though it was sick?"

He shook his head and denied his straightaway, "I never said that." 

"Then what was it?" She Snapped. "what makes you think that a wolf can be killed by human without any weapon?" 

"Adeline," he calmly replied to her being mindful of his own anger, "the real truth to who killed your father depends on the answer you give me. So I would tell you to behave and be forward with your answer instead of accusing me back." 

He held her jaw and stared in those eyes, "Clear?"
