Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline was quiet the entire car ride. Six months ago she had given it every desperate attempt that she could and it had not turned out to be quite well which is why she had left it as it is. 

Six months earlier she had not received the effort that she wanted from his side. Six months ago she had dropped this. 

So was she supposed to pick it up because he wanted it? 

She felt so confused and torn between the two options. They were good and both of them had some logic in it. 

The car road to stop the door did not open. She had Xavier move and saw him with a thick woolen blazer and a muffler along with boots from a bag. 

She looked at him as he held it out. 

He explained with a soft smile, "the heater is on and the temperature is regulated in the car which is why you don't feel cold." 

"Oh," now that she noticed as she took them from him there was a light line of precipitation on his skin. 

He was out of the car first and within moments was on her side to open her door. 

"A plane?" She frowned, "you guys have a plane here?" 

He nodded as they walked towards it. "Well technically it's for you and more humans because you cannot travel like we do. We would usually cover the distance by running." 

Ah, of course they would. Even her uncle wood at times loved to let his beast out. 

Now that Adeline remembered she had actually heard about it. Shifters could actually cover distance by foot and because they were in the animal form they actually covered a lot. The problem arrived when they started having human-mates and humans living here. They could not travel as fast and for that long which is why they had to bring in automobiles. 

She wanted to smack her own head for that. How could she forget something she had read about? 

Just as she entered the plane after climbing the stairs attached she was immediately greeted by the familiar sight of her two friends and their mates. 

"Hi!" Elizabeth grinned. "I knew You were coming. I even packed us snacks!" Adeline's eyes to the huge stack of snacks kept on the table stop that could literally feed a movie theatre. 

"Wow," she awed, "thank you." She politely thanked her friend for the effort that she had made. 

Patricia stood up and pulled Adaline into a light hug. "I am so glad you came." 

Her bum was still stinging. 

Adeline gave her smile. She waved at the other two and nodded at her respectfully. It did not escape Adaline that they would never touch her unnecessarily. 

It was something she appreciated about them. 

After that she made her way to the seat that was available and next to her, Xavier sat. 

Adeline facepalmed mentally. She chose the seat of two instead of one. Of course Xavier was going to take this opportunity and sit with her. 

Before she could open her mouth to talk the pilot made the announcement and within moments after buckling in their seat belts they took off. 

She only took her seat belt off when the pilot said that it was alright to. Her attention turns to the person sitting next to her who was already looking at her with a small smile on his face. 

"Have you finally lost it and gone bonkers?" 

His smile faltered. " Excuse me?" 

She shrugged lightly. "I mean come on, you are smiling all of a sudden and I have only seen brood since I've come here." 

"I too." Dylan added. 

Xavier glared at the back of Dylan's chair before he turned to Adeline. "Do you not like me smiling?" 

"It seems kind of creepy now." 

He stretched his lips into an unimpressed smile. "Well I'm trying here so I think you should give me that." 

She scoffed. "I tried too but you called me out on things that I had no fault in." 

 Why does everything have to be a fight with you?" He was growing frustrated with this attitude; it was only for so long that he could take it. 

Now she turned to him with a frown, "how is it that you do something and it's ok then and now when I want the same thing to happen to you. . . it's a fight?!" 

" Wah—" he scoffed and buried his face in his hands. "Seriously Adeline, you are being revengive right now?" 

She shrugged again and looked out of the window. 

Xavier leaned back in the chair as he slouched slightly. This was tough. A movement caught his eye and he leaned into the aisle to see his friends exchanging money. He frowned slightly before it hit him with what they had done. 

The fuckers had bet on them. 

He raised his legs slightly before kicking the back of Augustus's chair. "Oops," he muttered, "my leg was uncomfortable." 

Adeline shook her head. Idiot. 

*******

Adeline had fallen asleep and she had fallen asleep without eating dinner. Xavier had half A mind to wake her up before he remembered that last night was still heavy on her which is why he decided on letting her sleep and then have her eat it when she woke up. 

Elizabeth was sitting next to him and Xavier was waiting for her to speak. It was clear that she wanted to say something to him. 

"Say it," he muttered knowing that her ears could catch it, "get it done with." 

Elizabeth licked her lips. "Well, you and Adeline were allowed and office able to hear that . ."

" And?" 

She gulped. Talking about such a thing that the king was not easy but she had to do it for her friend. "Patricia and I were planning and activity for us girls that we think would work well for Adaline. Would you . ."

He threw a glance her way. "Why? What is it?" 

"Something we hope will let her get all of it out." She informed. "Something that's going to get the revenge out of her mind because I Adeline is not like that." 

"Well it better work then." He sighed. It jad to work, something had to work.
