Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

~~ WE HIT A MILLION!!~~ 

Sometime after when she had finally gotten her breathing under control, Xavier patted her bag and pulled her away from him. 

She found his warm eyes looking down at her, making her sigh in love. 

"It's time for tea and snacks," he caressed the side of her face. "Come on, you must be hungry." 

Adeline could not help but pull a face at that. "Why do you care so much?" She sniffed slightly. "I am not aware that I will get more fat and chubby if I eat more?"

His hand wnt underneath her dress which was still bunched up. "Hmm," he hummed as he touched her stomach, " you have lost a lot of weight and I have nothing to hold onto."

He lightly pinched the skin on her stomach and kept a hold on it, "I need to fatten you up." 

Adeline narrowed her eyes and the twinkle in his eyes. "Don't say it," she warned. 

He did. "My Penguin needs to be as far away as she can." He chuckled, "she needs to waddle her way.." his words became slightly incredible as he started to laugh and chuckle in between them. 

"Whatever," She muttered and cut off his lap before walking away with a small huff. 

She heard his light first steps follow and it was clear that he was coming after her. Without looking back Adeline opened the door and what about knowing that he would follow. 

She was aware of where the tea room was. There everyone was going to be gathered there or in the huge dining hall.

Adaline would probably reach the tea room sooner than she would reach the dining hall which is why she made her way there first as it was a floor below them. 

On nearing the doors to the tea room, she opened the door to them only to come to a standstill.

She frowned. No one was here…

"They are all in the dining room." 

Her eyebrows dipped when she heard his voice. He had come all the way here?

Wait a minute.. with his highlighted senses Xavier must have known where everyone was! 

Adeline turned around and looked at him with accusing eyes. "Are you serious? Why would you not tell me that you were in the dining room?' turned around with a disbelieving look on her face, "You knew!" she accused. "You knew that they were never here but you did not tell?"

Instead of giving her a reply, he gave her a shrug. "You did not ask me." he turned around and walked away from her as Adeline stared at his back open-mouthed. 

She could not believe the nerve of the man!

Fine then. 

Adeline followed him and let him walk in front of her. She was merely allowing it for the time being. Just as they reached from where they could see the doors of the dining room, Adeline slowed herself. 

And once he reached the doors, she struck, 

"Could you hold the door open for me, cutie patootie?" she shouted with all the power she had on her lungs. 

Adeline skipped her way in and past the frozen lycan holding the door open for her. "Thank you, my macho man," she whispered sweetly and walked into the dining room where everyone had already been looking at her. 

Lycans, wolves, and shifters of any kind could easily hear things whispered so yelling at the top of her lungs was something that none of them would have ever missed. 

"Hello," she chirped at everyone who was either too stunned, controlling their laughter or trying to get a look at Xavier. 

"Come here my lovely child," Teresa giggled and gave grabby hands to her niece who immediately appeared by her side. "That was One Epic prank there." Tessa was unable to control her laughter especially when the Alpha king was still standing at the door trying to process it. 

"He's still not in," Cassandra wiped a tear from her eyes. "Well done, Adeline." 

Adeline grinned showing all of her thirty two teeth along with one elephant tooth with how broad her smile was. 

The door closed with a bang and everyone turned to the direction where they saw Xavier stormed into the room and his eyes narrowed into the direction of his little mate. 

And The Little mate knew exactly what to do.

Adelen jumped from the place next to her aunt directly where Cassandra was sitting which was in front of her aunt as well. 

"Save me," she whispered like a little baby but like the devil as well because she had a huge smile on her face and knew exactly what she was doing. 

The mother of the Alpha lycan turns to her son with narrowed her eyes and cocked an eyebrow. "Yes?"

Xavier was standing above them breathing harshly as his shoulders moved up and down. "Really?"

"Yes," Cassandra repeated as her hands went around Adeline's. "I have to protect your.. Penguin."

Adeline groaned loudly and in the background she could hear the two men chuckling along with Xavier and her aunt laughing like a hyena. 

She turned to give Cassandra a stink eye, "I thought you were on my side!" 

"Funny, I think after being alive for so long I know better than to choose sides," she winked but then her eyes turned serious, "I need to talk to the two of you."

Xavier's harsh eyes schooled into calm and collected ones. There he calculated almost everything and she felt like he was doing that right now as well. 

"During the duration of the ceremonies, Adeline will stay with her family, in a different lodging from you as per custom. Until the last day, that is. The ceremonies as we know are different from the king and queens as compared to the others." 

She glanced a little at Javier. "You will be told what to do and how then and there," here she looked at Adeline with a smile and then turned to her son. "You already know what will happen."

Xavier nodded. 

"Soo," Adeline cleared her throat, "That is it then?" they were really not telling her anything then?

"For now only," Cassandra smiled, "I mean for today, from tomorrow, your ceremonies start.." she winked.
