Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Adeline's cheeks flooded with colour. Could they make it any more obvious that the attention was on her? 

"Uh . .uh. ." She stuttered and stood up, "I'll be going now. Thank you." Adaline moves towards the door only to be stopped by Preston's voice. 

"Is it someone that you're expecting to meet Luna adaline? I quite understand that humans tend to find comfort with humans. I heard that you had joined in helping the human mates settling into our world." Preston knew very well what he was doing as he said the next words, "perhaps you've found someone for yourself?" 

A thunderous growl shook the entire room and Adeline gasped in horror. She looked at the source of the growl and found it to be Xavier who once again had a flash of Amber eyes along with yellow in them. 

The beast was in possession.

Preston hid his smile. He hit the jackpot. 

Adaline widened her eyes slightly as the room visibility tensed. Without thinking twice she opened the door and ran out. 

The doors slammed open and it did not take her much to increase her speed and ran with everything she had. Xavier was following her. She could hear the padding of the feet following her. 

Before she knew it a few men appeared from the hallway and just passed her. She had grunt and out of curiosity, Adeline turned back to see but only to stop running and stare at what was happening in front of her. 

A small group of men were attacking Xavier down. 

Augustus and Dylan appeared and so did Patricia and Elizabeth by her side as the other two men made their way to Xavier. 

"What's happening?" Adeline whispered to the women standing next to her. "Why are they holding him down?" 

Patricia leaned slightly towards the human so that she won't be attracting any more attention than she did already. "Those are what you call a Luna's guard. They act on your fear and attack whosoever is the reason for that. At the moment the king is responsible for your fear which is why they are holding him down since they cannot really hurt him." 

Adeline's attention was still on Xavier. He could barely lift them but she could see that he was training as well. Was he trying to get into control back from his beast? The men were struggling to keep him down and the beta lycan was trying to calm him.

Adelime gulped as he watched the entire scene on food in front of her. She did not know what Augustus was whispering into Xavier's ear but it was working. Slowly the fur disappeared and the skin came back only for her to look away. 

That brought out memories that tingled her entire body. 

They all walked away and only Patricia and Elizabeth remained on her side as everyone followed Xavier out and Preston worked in front of her. 

Adelen glared at the man, "you did their own purpose. You knew that Xavier would lose it." She glared at the man and glanced behind him as two of the Guards remained. 

Preston smiled. "I will do what is needed for this country and the whole shapeshifting Kingdom. It was necessary on my part to do so." 

"Even if it means endangering the queen herself?" Patricia snapped at the man. She took a threatening step forward as Preston took one back, "I hope you know that the king would be thinking about this. This was a dicey game you played, Preston." 

The man had the nerve to smile as his eyes moved to Adeline. "The entire population is dying and you're telling me that I am playing the game? I hope you know Luna that no woman can have a child unless you take on your position and mate with the Alpha." 

"Preston!" Elizabeth growled. " Stop it!" 

Preston's eyes bore into Adeline's. "Does it sit well with you that women out there are suffering and you are enjoying life? Only you have the power to change their sales at use din am sitting here—"

Patricia's fist slammed into Preston's face and he stumbled back at the force. Without thinking twice Patricia went forward and threw the rest on his nose again making a crack echo. 

"I said," the beta female growled, "stop." 

Adeline trembled at the information slowly and it gradually began to increase as her thoughts started to wander at a greater speed. She was the reason why none of the females could have babies? She heard them so many times and tried to get them all in therapy. They were also made a because of the lack of pups. 

"Adeline!" She felt her on familiar arms wrapped around her. She immediately welcomed the warmth and snuggled in more. 

"Di-did you hear?" She stuttered, "I am the reason—"

"No love," Tessa caressed her hair. "No, not at all." Tessa tried to strengthen her voice and say it out firmly but failed miserably. She didn't know but she had heard about it. 

Adeline closed her eyes. It was true then or at least it was to some extent. "Excuse me," she said as she pulled away from her aunt. "I need to go." 

"Where?" Trees are found at her child pulling away. Where did she want to go?

Adeline gulped. "I. . .uh. ." She turned to Patricia, "can you take me to where Xavier is?" 

The girl nodded. 

"No," they heard Tessa, "Adeline not again—"

"If people are suffering because of me, I can do something about it and I am going to do something about it." Adeline said in a surprisingly firm voice. "I wouldn't have bothered if it was just a group of people but I am expecting a whole population. I'll be home before midnight," she said and turned around but then Turned to her aunt again, "I think." She added and kissed Tessa's cheek. 

She followed Patricia with her mind made up. If there was something she could do about it and to a certain extent then she was going to give it all.
