Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Augustus cursed as he saw the slip of Xavier's fingers over her sweater. They barely grazed over it and it was not enough for him to hold onto any material. 

His eyes widened only when he saw Adeline slipped off the cliff and Xavier followed behind. 

"No!"He roared and jumped after the king but was held back. 

"Stop that," Dylan held him back, "Xavier can survive the fall on the frozen water but Adaline cannot."

He cursed loudly. " None of them would survive this. They would die." He glared at the gamma wolf. 

Dylan argued, "Xavier is a lycan. He would heal quicker than Adeline and he would actually survive this. If Adeline hit the ground she would have not survived at all. You wait here, keep an eye on them and I will go get help." He growled out before pushing him slightly and running into the forest willst changing into his beast mid-run. 

Augustus winced as his eyes moved to the frozen lake. Before he could take a step forward and look he felt a heavy blow on his head making him lose consciousness immediately and fall on the edge of the case. 

****

He broke through the frozen lake with his naked body but that was not what he cared for. In his arms was Adelaine who fainted. Her head was bleeding because some glass from the top layer of the lake had touched her skin. 

He could not place much pressure on the glass once otherwise the one-year he would break as well. The first thing he did was raise a heavy weighted adelen on the frozen lake and slide her head so that her body would balance it all out and would be away from the broken glass. 

He then slowly raised himself up. He kept his hands apart. They were kept wider than his shoulders so that he would not place much pressure on one place before lifting one leg and completely turning around to place the other on the glass and out of water. 

Thank fuck he was out. 

Without waiting any further even to catch his breath his top on the slippery grass and moves to where he had thrown Adaline. He did not pick her up, it would put too much weight on him and the glass would crack underneath him. 

So the next best option was to hold her by the ankles and drag her slowly across the glass. Just as they reached the snowy land, Xavier picked her up and walked into the forest. He knew where it connected to the higher grounds there would be a small cave or two because the lake has frozen for a very long time. 

The caves would have been made by animals to provide shelter for themselves. Now he was going to use it. 

Xavier walked with Adaline in his hands as he searched for the cave while walking along the shore. Thankfully the shore widened and small patches of trees appeared. The caves should be around somewhere here. 

He found the first cave and without thinking he sniffed the air and walked inside. If there was an animal inside he was going to fight it to death but he was not going to let go of the cave. 

He growled at the entrance and morning. Warning the animals to stay away from him but when he heard nothing back and sniffed no smell of inhabitation he walked inside but did not walk deeper into the cave. He still wanted to have the entrance in his sight. 

He placed Adeline down and sorry to take off her clothes. They were wet and they were not good for her to wear. 

For himself, he was in the shorts that he wore and carried with him and those were enough for him even though they were soaking. 

Keeping her clothes on the side, he kept his ear out to hear anything in case before moving out and snapping some branches. He will have to make fire the old way. 

He grabbed a few stones on the way as well. 

He placed the branches into a small circle, one covering over the other. He made the circle slightly near the entrance so that it would not joke them with the smoke. 

Xavier bent down near the small piles of woods and started to rub the stones together to create a spark. 

He rubbed them to cause friction and he smelled the smoke. He applied more pressure and wrapped them slightly edging towards the wood. At the end of it, a slight spark appeared and there was a smell of burning wood. He realised that that was not enough and did the same thing to the end of the end again and then to the other end. 

When he smelled the burning of the wood from the entire circle he started to blow on it slowly. The areas started to turn red and slowly the fire started. 

Fuck, he never appreciated a lighter more than he did now. Xavier appreciated a matchstick more than anything at the moment. 

He walked back to Adeline who was wearing a vest top and just her underwear. Picking up her freezing body, he sat dangerously close to the fire letting her plot warm up with the fire. A bunch of sticks were kept next to him. If needed he would add more. 

He traced the line of her cheekbones. The nightmare was not over. Her lips were starting to turn blue and Xavier hoped that the fire would soon show it's magic. 

"Fuck, Adaline. Please." He begged her as he dropped her shoulders. He tried his best to give her his body warmth and the warmth of the fire. 

He kept a close eye on her heartbeat. It grew faint and faint as the time passed by making him very more. He could feel tears of frustration build in his eyes, what was he supposed to do? Where were his fucking friends? 

His heart stopped. He heard it. 

Hers didn't beat.
