Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

"What's going on?" Patricia asked as the first thing after she closed the door upon entering. "Is the alpha really calling are mates?" 

Adeline pursued her lips a little as she absentmindedly shook her head from side to side. 

"Wait, what?" Elizabeth shrieked loudly, making Adeline scrunch up her nose. "I was in the middle of having sex!" She whined and cried dramatically. 

Adeline huffed. "Xavier's acting weird. Like super weird." 

"How so?" Patricia asked. 

Adelene licked her lips before starting to speak. "He. . .I—" how to say this? 

"What is it?" Patricia looked highly concerned at this point. 

"He's. . Um . ." Adelene ransacked her brain for the correct word. "He is being awfully clingy at this point." 

"Clingy?" Elizabeth blinked her eyes. "But being clingy is normal for us. It's the most normal thing a recently marked and mated shifter does." 

Why did Adeline not know of that? "From when?" 

Patricia shrugged. "It's really normal for mates to be possessive and obsessed with each other to be honest. I thought you would be well aware of how this worked?" 

Apparently, Adaline thought so as well but she was clearly wrong. She had clearly not expected him to be on that level. 

"But," she continued, "I have seen my uncle and my aunt and they are not as touchy as Xavier is. Every second of the day I see him with me. That is something he has never done before!"

"Probably because of the fact that if he did it as a human it would be a huge Red flag for you guys." Elizabeth clicked her tongue. "It was not easy for him to hold back on his instincts and now that he has a chance to let them out I don't think is going to hold back."

"I think he might be making up for what he missed?" Patricia added but looked a little unsure at the end of it. "I mean he did have to hold back a lot on his instincts when it came to dating you as a human." 

Adeline looked away from Patricia as she considered what she said. 

With the way that Xavier behaved in one day and incompletely understood Patricia's point of having to hold back when they were dating in the human world. 

"You are not really use to any of these, are you?" Elizabeth give a small pat on the back. "to be honest it might seem a little over bearing and overwhelming in the beginning but which time it all feels natural. It feels natural to let someone take care of you without having any kind of. . . strings attached to it." 

The last sentence was true. If anyone took care of someone there were always some kind of strings attached and here it was not. Whenever Xavier touched her or to care of her it gave her some kind of. . . pleasure. 

And that pleasure was not just physical or like an organsm but something that made her feel good from the inside. 

Adeline gave a small nod to that. "I do like it. ." She admitted. It feel nice for someone to take care of her without any hidden agendas. 

"I know," Patricia patted her shoulder. 

"So now that it is also called and you know the answer to your basic questions," Elizabeth give them a bright smile as she continued, " can you go now 'cuz I wanna have sex?" 

Adeline chuckled. "Just be ready for lunch. We will all have that together."

She closed another drawer of the dress up before opening another one. Where was it? Where did it go? 

"Adeline?" She closed her eyes when she heard his voice right above her ear. "Why don't you tell me what you are looking for?" 

She huffed. "The red pendant? Do you remember that?"

He nodded. 

"I can't really find it anywhere and I know I was wearing it once. Unless," it clicked, "do you think it might be at that makeshift hospital?" 

Xavier unfortunately gave her shake of his hair. "If it was there they would have told us. Hospitals do not keep belongings especially when one of them is held by humans because we know how important they are to you." 

"Oh," she dejectedly whispered. That was not the answer at then had been expecting. When she remembered that she had spent a few days at the hospital she had, with high hopes, told him about that. Only to find out that there was no possible option for them to keep it, Adeline felt the frustration build inside. 

"Hey," he rubbed her shoulder and placed a kiss on her head. "How about when we go back to the capital I have an exactly same necklace made for you but with real diamonds and jewels?" 

The offer did seem really tempting even though adaline was not someone to be blinded by jewels. The bottom line however remained that she would have the exact same pendant as her mother did. 

"Same?" 

He nodded. "Same." 

"Okay, cool." She nodded before going back to concentrate on the packing. Xavier slowly stood up and walked out of the room as his hands lead into his pockets. 

Once inside the room that he was staying in he closed the door and walked to his bedside table where he had kept the original pendant. 

He pulled open the draw and retrieved the wooden box inside. This wooden box was no ordinary box but rather kept by those who wanted to test if the item contained any kind of witchcraft or not. 

However until now he had not placed the item inside the box. It lay beside the box and use saviour picked it up and held in it in his palm. 

"There is something about you," he whispered staring at the pendant in suspicion, "and I will find that out." 

Open the wooden box and placed the pendant inside. He walked over to his suitcase and unlocked it before placing the wooden box inside locking it shut again. 

He was sure that by the time the day would reach the capital he would have an answer.
