Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

"I got a call today Adele," he spoke calmly. "That you bunked school. I honestly had never expected that from you." When he finished, Adeline could hear the disappointment he felt.

"S-someone was walking in front of me and bumped making all the food fall on me. I didn't have a spare set so I had to come home." She lied. She was on the verge of crying now. She knew her father would believe her as she was genuinely scared of being embarrassed but he didn't know that she had already faced a fair share of it today.​​

Jason sighed, knowing that the waterworks would start anytime. "kiddo, next time don't bunk and if it ever happens just inform me, alright?" he sternly advised her. Adele nodded weakly, sniffing in between. They sat in silence for some time till Jason broke it.

"I had a call today in the office," he started.

"Who's?" She questioned sounding interested.

"A boy who wanted to take my daughter out on lunch this Friday, since it happens to be a holiday. Although he said a brunch I know that my child can't spend so much time with a person she doesn't know." He finished with a little laugh.

Even though it sounded funny to him, Adele was confused. She sat straight and looked at him with questioning eyes. Who had called him?

"Xavier Rivera called." He answered in a duh tone.

"Ohhhh..." Adeline dragged the word out.

"Yup and you are going. The boy had guts to ask a father for taking out his daughter, you should give him a chance." He said.

"Fine, you say and I go. Anyway, call me down for dinner." She said walking up the stairs. Closing the door to the bedroom she threw herself on the bed with a huff.

"You did not tell him the truth."

Adele gasped. She had not noticed anyone inside the room much less her neighbour.

"How did you get in?" she questioned him.

"If I tell you, then I won't be getting in anytime soon," he answered. "Now, answer mine."

"Well, to begin with, she was just a bully trying to make herself look superior to me which she failed in my eyes. Sure it was embarrassing for me but in the end, it will be long forgotten." She breathed in a bit, "I've never been bullied before, so I guess in the heat of the moment I didn't think and took flight."

Xavier couldn't be more proud of his mate. She was strong, she knew her power, his beast and he was proud of their female. He smirked, suddenly remembering something.

"Hey Adele, be ready for Friday. I'll pick you up at 11."

Adele blushed looking down remembering that her father and he had talked. She was confused about the fact that how did he get her father's number. As she raised her head, she saw him climbing out of her window and jumping to his. Running to hers, she called him and said, "You are a monkey!" with a huge smile on his face. She was fascinated by him.

Xavier threw his head back and laughed, knowing she would be surprised by the truth.
