Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Adeline stared at Xavier because of the words he said. "I know he could have overpowered me easily Xavier. I understand that I am a human and even humans like animals have basic flight or fight instant which I had." She informed him in a mocking beautiful voice which only made him feel irritated further. 

"The Butler once told my uncle to have two buttons installed in my room that would bring an alarm if I was ever in trouble. I almost had that button pressed if needed." 

"If needed?" He repeated, "it was needed!" 

"Do you know that Noah is gone?" Ignoring completely to what he had said she asked him, "yes or no Xavier? Do you know that or not?" 

"How is that supposed to help you?" He said instead of answering her. 

"Just do so," 

Xavier stared into the eyes of his mate. Adeline never had any maliciousness inside, knew that whatever she was pointing towards was going to be something that needed attention upon it. "I don't." He answered honestly, slightly ashamed at the failure. 

He could feel the presence of his beast back in his mind as he calmed down. 

She nodded, "but now you know that he is gone. We do not know where is gone. Adrain was too shaken up to answer that." 

" You asked him?" 

"Not directly, no," she shook her head, "I was too scared and I did not want to lose myself in the conversation. However if he comes next time—"

He raised his finger, "Remember Adaline there is not going to be next time regarding this matter." 

She frowned at what he said. "And how else are you going to know what is happening with them? Adrian is the way in!" 

"No, you—"

"Get off the hai pedestal once and see what's going on!" She hissed at him not caring about anything anymore. She let her emotions take complete control over. "You can blame me however you like and for how long you like but the reality does not change to who is to be put to blame here. That man has been out there for more than a year and you have sailed to get him. All you do is take your anger out on me. How do you think I feel?" 

She quieted down and waited for him to speak but when he did not she spoke up again, " I understand that I blame you in the beginning but when I got a hold of every fact regarding the matter I stopped Xavier. Don't you think you should? Don't you think you should be out there trying to catch him? Now that we might have a lead and that too from his own people you decide that it's not important for us to follow—"

"It is important, but not as much as you damit!" He growled, snapping her shut. "I lost you once and I am not doing that again." 

In the past six months she has had many conversations with Jenna. Jenna was mated to an Alpha Lycan which is why she could answer a lot of a lens question from the point of view of a mate. One of those was the threat to the mate and what it was considered to be. 

"You didn't lose me." She said softly before taking his hand and holding it in her own. "You did not lose me and stop thinking about that. I'm right here and with you." Her voice was barely audible but it reached his ears just fine. Touching her again had made a hope enlighten in his heart that he had been extinguished ages ago. 

He stood up, "don—"

"No!" She panicked and latched onto his hand like a baby would. "Sit." She pointed to where he was previously sitting. 

It was addicting. She was aware of what she was doing in how dangerous it was after everything she had been through. But it was so addicting like a drug that she could not resist. 

She kept on staring at him as he looked down at her. She could not let him go. There was starting to talk and this time since she had the option to keep him close she was going to do so. 

"If you don't want to talk to me then don't," she began, "but you please tell me what to do with a tree and next because I want to find out what is going around."

She watched as he complentated what she said. Before long he sat down in front of her and she moved her hands from his arm. 

"The next time he comes, the first thing you will do is call someone. Preferably your uncle or the butler." He told her with a calm voice. Even his eyes were back to normal colour. He was now calm. 

"We have to do something." She insisted on not taking his answer. If she called her uncle aur The Butler the first thing they would do is kill the man. 

He shook his head roughly as the irritation seeped in, "Adeline, why do you insist on putting yourself in danger? Do you even recognise what your presence does to the people?" 

Never expecting to say those words she was slightly taken aback by what he chose to say. "What are you talking about? And I am not purposely putting myself in danger!" 

He slipped. That he was not supposed to say which is why he shook his head and stood up. "Nothing. The next time that man comes around you either call Patricia or Elizabeth." 

"I'll tell you what's going on." Ashlynn's voice rang out as she entered the place and walked to where Xavier was standing and Adaline was sitting. 

Her pale pale and weak face made Adaline tear up. She looked worse than ever! 

"We need you Adaline," she began, "we need you now more than ever. You are literally the solution to every problem." She choked and Adeline stood immediately to aid her.

"Help us," Ashlynn cried, "please!"
