Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Jenna's words had some kind of effect on her. She felt more determined than she had ever before. She did not know why but even Korr asked her if she was okay. 

She once again moved to the same room where she had previously found Xavier. Just like Elizabeth had told her she followed her heart. 

This time she did not hesitate. She walks confidently with her back straight into just like she had seen Jenna walk countlessly. The woman never slouched. 

Instead of waiting like the last time at the door she opened the door with a bright smile on her face. 

"Good morning everyone," she wished, "would you mind giving Xavier and me sometime?" 

If anyone was shocked, they did not bother to show it and greeted her back before simply walking out of the room like she had asked them to. Some idiot, perhaps the same one, had closed the door on the way out. 

"You're back." He commented and she shrugged. 

"Yes, I guess, I am." She said before she went to the same place that she had been sitting in. Instead of facing the front of the class she faced him. This time he did not need to tell her how to make a conversation because she was going to do it herself. 

Praise Jenna. 

"What do you want?" He was straight to the point and Adeline decided at that very moment that she was going to be straight to the point as well. 

"I want access to the palace library." She spoke confidently with her back straight. Apparently keeping a back straight was very important. "I want access to the Palace library and I promise you I will not cause any damage to any kind of work. I am okay if you can get me one hour in a week." 

He had stopped laughing long ago but if he could he would laugh in her face. She thought she could come in demand an hour a week at their library? The library belonged to her just as any part of this world did. It was amusing to think that she thought she had to ask for permission and was settling in with the least bit. 

If only she knew that anyone in this world would not think twice to lay down their life for her even if it was for her amusement.

He nodded but then asked, "And why do you want that?" 

She had the answer ready and now it was not because she wanted to help them but it was a stubborn stand that she had taken against him. 

"The reason is the same but I think I would like to start from the palace library instead of the school one. School library has the same stuff as any other school would." She spoke as a matter of fact because every school library has the same amount of books which meant that she was not going to find something special there. She had to find it where the information was sacred. 

" Ohh," he sang out the word, "and pray tell me what would happen if you do not find something like that? Are you bargaining with me Adeline? What do I get at the other end?" He raised an eyebrow as she narrowed her eyes at him slightly. 

Annoying and getting a reaction out of her was the best thing ever happened to him. 

"What do you want?" She said as she stood up. "Are these not your people? Should not be helping me instead? How can you ask me for some kind of bargain?"

"I don't know," he shrugged, "because maybe I can?" 

She wanted to strangle him now. Who would know if she wanted to strangle him? No one would ever doubt that it was a human who had killed The mighty lycan? 

"I can do something too." She said, 

"What is that?" He smiled, a mocking one at that. 

She blinked her eyes innocently and stood up, "I recently got to know about the fact that people here can get married at the age of 18. Given that the bonds here forever. I was thinking of having companionship. So if you would excuse me now," she walked down the small stairs with the benches and was almost out of the room when she felt her body being pushed towards the door. Her cheek was laid flat against the door. 

"Companionship?" He growled in her ear but Adeline did not feel fear. Instead she was feeling cheeky. 

"Yes," she said and hid her smile, "preferably someone who does not try to taunt me everytime." 

"Taunt?" He repeated, "you think I taunt you?"

"No," she denied and her expressions changed to seriousness, "you break my heart." 

She turned around even though his grip did not lose. He placed his hand on the other side of her as she said, "you break my heart of everything that has happened to. What do you think happened Xavier? You lost your brother, I lost my father and we both lost a baby that we did not even though we were there!" She yelled. "What more happened to you that did not to me?"

He remained silent. 

She scoffed, "And don't tell me that you grieved for 7 months because I did that too. I grieved as well. I grieved more than you." 

"You hid things from me." He stated. 

She barked out a laugh, " So," hit, "did," hit, " you." She slapped his chest one more time. Adeline glared at him. "You hid things from me. You hid things from me first. You had your entire existence hidden from me, Xavier, do you even know what you are holding against me?" She spat. 

He stepped back. 

"Oh why now!" She taunted him. "Why step back now?" She screamed, finally letting it out. "Don't step away from me because I am doing that to you!" She said before glaring at him for a second longer and walking out of the door. She slammed it as hard as she could. 

Fuck him.
