Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

"Where are they?" Adeline huffed as she walked with him. "Why are they so far away?" 

Xavier continued to walk while holding her hand. "You wanted to go. Also, to answer your question, there are people here who bring children. Nobody wants them to end up in some other realm."

"Oh, we don't." Adeline said quickly. "But I personally don't want to walk that much." 

Chubby little Penguin she saw, Xavier shook his head to himself. He turned around, pulled her close and just as she bumped into his chest he bent down and gathered her in his arms. 

"Here," he started walking again, "hush now." 

Hush it was. Adeline could not even talk anymore. She was stunned into silence. Her body warmed up at the touch. 

She stared ahead, watching where they were going instead of looking up at him. She gulped. The small tingles were constant as her side was in touch with his side and her arm was over his shoulder. His face was in her sight and she looked behind them. 

She was not looking at him. Why? No idea. 

After some time, he placed her down on her feet and pointed in a certain direction in front of them.

"There it is," He said, pointing to a circle. "Now where is it that you want to go?" 

Adeline turned to him with a serious face. "How do we get there?" 

"You think of a certain place in your mind. By certain I mean certainly and not anywhere near or far from it." He tilted her chin up, "Are you sure that you can think of it? Otherwise I can do it for you." 

"No, no," Adeline denied the offer immediately, "I know where to go and I can do it." She really could. 

The portal was dizzy and quicker than anything she had ever seen. If she saw anything she did not remember because her brain was dizzier than it had ever been and it took a few seconds to get her head back in order. 

"Woah," she bent down while placing her hands on her knees, heaving slightly. She was about to puke. 

"Calm down, try to breathe in and out. Do you want me to get you some water?" Xavier offered as he patted her back and gently rubbed it. 

She shook her head. The portal was more like picking them up with a gust of air from one spot and then throwing them back to the other one, where they wanted to go. She had lost her balance on the landing but Xavier stood there straight and sounded as if nothing had happened.

"I'm okay now." As she stood up straight and looked at the familiar graveyard. 

"About that," Xavier said as he followed her eyes, "why are we here?" 

She glanced at him but did not bother to answer. Adeline took his hand into hers and started walking to a familiar sight or grave. The grave that Adeline once visited constantly. Her grave never started without visiting the grave of her father. 

Once again she stood in front of the familiar grey with their father twisted forever now. She let out a sigh escape her, a long and tired one. 

"This is. . . Your father's grave." she heard Xavier say from behind her. "Do you want me to step aside while you talk to him?" 

She closed her eyes as she realised how he cared. Not wanting to make her uncomfortable, he was ready to step aside while she talked to her father even though she was the one who had brought him here. 

She shook her head and turned around to look at him. "Let's sit on the ground." Just as Adeline said that she sat down on the ground not caring for the sand to stick to her jeans. Xavier stared at her for a few seconds before sitting next to her in front of the grave of the deceased Jason Woods. 

"When I was talking to the priestess a few things c-came back," the feelings bubbled up inside her started to come out and she could feel herself wanting to cry But she held it in. "One of those was when I ran every event in my mind and I saw you nowhere when my father died." 

Fuck, he cursed. "I know I was not there, baby, and I am really sorry because of—"

"Which means that you're not responsible for the killing of my father." She whispered in a croaky voice, barely holding the emotions inside her. "You were not there when someone pushed the car twice and tumbled over, you were not the reason why the glass was stuck inside my father's throat, you were not the reason why he bled to death and died immediately at the sight. You were not be responsible for my father dying and there is that." 

"Baby," he intervened very gently. Adeline was struggling with her tears. The nose and cheeks on her face had grown red and the eyes were barely hanging onto the tears. A few of them had already escaped to her cheeks and the sight of her struggling made her want to protect her from everyone. "You don't—"

"I need to do this." She firmly said as she sniffed and cut him off. "This is very important for me and I need to do this." Just after completing her words she breathed in and out repeatedly to get the bubbling emotions inside her settled down. 

"Go ahead then," he took her hands in his, "I am with you." He squeezed her hands and she nodded, the encouragement she received feeling slightly empowered. 

"The next thing that will hurt me was the pregnancy but that was not your fault because I was a willing participant in it. So it was both of us, like 50-50, both of us." She rambled on before huffing slightly and getting a grip over herself. "What I mean is if I got pregnant and it was because of the both of us." 

He nodded, understanding her point. 

Adeline continued, "if I found myself pregnant I should have come to you the moment I knew about it. It doesn't matter if you were human or not, but you need to know and decide for your life choices which I did not do and I am really sorry for that." She sighed and looked down, a tear dropped on her leg. "It was my fault not telling you about it.. You should stop blaming yourself for where I was wrong."
