Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Adeline's entire body hurt but that did not deter her to stand up and see if it was her mother or not. 

This world was made up of magic and she was not going to let go of the chance to find out if her mother could be alive in this one. 

She, with great pain, with the help of her elbows stood up even though her knees were shaking. Her body could barely hold her weight at the moment but she did not pay attention to the needs and messages conveyed by it, rather looked around the entire forest or what was visible to her to find her mother. 

"Mumma?" She called out hesitantly. "Where are you?" Her voice was very hesitant and full of uncertainty. She was not show who she was talking to or where was she supposed to look at. 

There was no reply to her question. It was as if a blanket of silence had descended to the forest and nothing spoke or emitted a sound. Not even the wind blew now. 

She gulped. Adaline did not know if it was just the fear or the nerves building up or perhaps both. 

Where was her mother? Adeline was sure that she was in full consciousness when she heard the voice resembling her mother. 

"Mumma?" She called out again but this time actually had the strength to take a step forward into a random direction that she was standing in. Only trees and trees were seen. Adeline was not even sure at this moment if Xavier was coming for her or if she could actually find her way back. 

". . little Adeline. . ." 

Adeline gasped and the hairs on her beck stood up. There was just something about this voice. . . She turned to her right side from where she had heard the voice. It was like a small whisper that was carried away with the wind. 

"Mumma?" She called out before charging into the direction. She could not run as much as she could before because of aching back but she was still covering up distance little by little. Even walking was hurting now yet she wanted to do it. 

She stopped after she thought that she had heard the voice here but when she saw no one there was no point in continuing to run. 

Where was she? Was she even here? 

What was Adaline even doing? She realised that she was just going into a random direction with no sense of where to actually go. And who was she even chasing? 

She licked her lip and glanced around the forest. Everything was the same to look at and she could not even tell which direction she had come from before.

Where was she to—

Adeline stilled When she heard the growl come from behind her. For a second her heart stopped to beat as well. She stood completely still as the growl rang out through the entire forest.

It was powerful enough to shake her from the core. It was powerful enough to make her powerless even after living with shifters for almost an year. 

Her eyes widened in fear and were clouded by tears but she heard thudding behind her. Something was moving towards her. 

She whimpered but clamped her mouth shut. Don't talk. Don't fucking talk, she screamed at her self in her mind. 

Standing still would get her no where but that was the only thing that she could think of doing in this situation. 

Something is working towards her and by the sound of it and by the sound of the growl she could tell that it was not human. She was not sure if it was a shifter even! 

She gulped again as her lips trembled dangerously. Something or rather someone was behind her. There was no way that she could escape this thing. 

Her shaking only increased as she felt the breath of the creature over her shoulder and ear. Not only that but his mouth bridge the distance to her ear and whispered, "Run." 

And she did. 

She ran full speed into the forest. Her ears had closed themselves to any noise coming from behind her. Adrenaline pumped harder into the blood and she found herself increasing his speed. 

"Run, run as much as you can. . . Because you won't be able to escape me." 

Adelen did not even process the words to cry. All she knew was she her mother's voice again and those words were spoken by her. 

She heard the animalistic roar behind her which only made her pump her pump her legs head even quicker. She had never done this past in her life and is not going to stop in any time soon. 

'Run . .run . .run . .run' she chanted in her mind as if it would help her reach the destination. She did not even think of changing her route just continue to run straight ahead. 

The heading only increased which meant that his paws was hitting the ground quicker than her feet did and that was not good. It meant that she would catch up to her before she could outrun him. 

Her hands moved just as her legs did. The post up in the air as her leg pushed forward. For now high speed was unmatchable but that thing was still catching up with her making her increased help pace while the pain started to settle into her body. Her muscles cried out at Adeline could only see the small clearing that grew larger as she neared it. 

She almost grinned as the age group more clear and larger. Finally she was going to escape The beast running behind her. 

Finally running to the edge of the cliff, she turned around just as she neared the edge of the cliff when she saw no one behinde her. She saw no one behind her and just as she looked ahead to plant her feet on the ground firmly to stop.. It was not quick enough and she slipped past the edge.
