Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Javier was right. People put their hearts and souls into it when they got to know that the ceremony was being moved closer. 

It was like none of them could waste a single second to think about why it happened. They had just directly diced into making sure that they were done by the end of the time given to them they were supposed to be ready. 

And surprisingly, they were. 

When she had been asked by Cassandra to make the last-minute checks, Adaline had half expected hostile glares to be sent her way but on the contrary, all she got was respectful bows and wide-welcoming smiles. 

It was almost unbelievable. 

Even though Cassandra put it as something that needed her attention, almost everything was done perfectly and since she had not been involved in anything there was nothing that Adaline knew much about except what the ceremony entailed and what she was supposed to do. 

"It's all perfect Cassandra," Adeline gushed looking around her. "You guys have done a wonderful job!" 

Cassandra laughed but she had a red hue come on her cheeks letting Adaline know that she was shy too. 

"Your crown has been prepared too." Cassandra let her know while they were walking in the grand courtroom. "Xavier already had his crown made—well, he took it from his uncle as it was and so did you." 

"Honestly I did go for a few changes." She pointed out but then remembered, "was he serious when he said he wanted me to wear a Crown daily?" 

She laughed lightly and looked down before nodding. "He did." Cassandra turned her neck to look at adaline. "Not for the same reason as the ancestors with human Queens did. Because he wants to make you feel like one." 

"He told you that?" The thought of a crude boy sharing such intimate details with his mother seemed impossible. 

"Umm," Cassandra winced, "honestly not really. I mean I could never expect him to tell me that. Alexander could but not Xavier." 

She almost felt herself freezing when she heard the name of the late child. This time Cassandra did not have a distant look on her face nor did her eyes well up with tears. It felt like she had made her peace with that and when it came to Adaline's past, so had she.

The dress fitting was complete too. 

For the dress the head turned to the blue colours that were perfectly matching their emerald crowns and for once she actually felt like a princess or maybe even like a Queen like she was meant to be. 

The dress was amazing, the small sapphire stones carved into the falls of the dress along with the golden embroidery made it look surreal and out of a Barbie movie. 

"It's so beautiful.." she whispered while staring at the dress in the mirror. It was so hard to take her eyes off it. 

"Thank the dressmakers for it," Cassandra laughed. "It was not easy to complete the dress in a week but they managed to make everything." 

"It's soo.." at the end of her words Adaline turned to the team of Taylor's and grinned, " this is a dress right out of a fairy tale. I really can't imagine anything more beautiful than this!" 

Smiles broke out on everyone's face. It was apparent that the mood of the Luna affected everyone.

So she was out of the dress and on her way to find Xavier. The bodyguard trailed behind her but this time she let her instincts take over and take her to Xavier. 

She soon figured out that she was nearing his bedroom where she did find him, only a little underdress and bleeding. 

Her eyes narrowed at the wound on his abdomen. It was bleeding and he was in the middle of cleaning it. 

"Xavier!" She gasped. "No! You have to go to a doctor and get the wound stitched!" The wound looked horrifying to look but she still paid attention to it. Yup, it needed to be stitched shut. 

He chuckled and before hse kne it he as close enough to make her bush. "Its fine," he kissed her in between the eyebrows, "I am a lycan, remember?"

Adaline nodded. 

"Good," he kissed her forehead again, "now look down." 

Adaline's eyes followed and focused on the torn skin that was almost gone. "Wow," she breathed out and asked, looking up, "does it not hurt?" 

"No," Xavier replied with the soft and loving expression just reserved for her, "something else does."

Something else? Perplexed, she looked down and well… "You are hard," she noted and looked with narrowed eyes, "really?"

"Your effect, baby." He winked, making her blush all over before leaning down and nuzzling their noses together. "I just have to wait until the night of the coronation."

She leaned into his touch. Heat flushed her body almost immediately especially when she felt him inhale her scent from her neck. "Why then?"

"Because everyone has to hear and celebrate our mating." he placed a small open-mouthed kiss on her shoulder making her shiver, "they deserve the happy ending too."

When he kissed the sot where he had bitten her, Adaline almost moaned out before the reality settled in. her eyes snapped open and she took a step back. 

Adaline stared at him with her eyes as wide as saucers with her eyebrow reaching her hairline. "What did you just say to me?"

Even he blinked twice to get rid of the haze of lust. "What?"

"Everyone celebrating it with us!" she snapped. "What are you talking about?"

Xavier raised his eyebrows slightly and the confusion was clear on his face. "You don't know? The alpha and Luna mate publicly. I mean by fucking each other in front of everyone." 

"Well..er.." Adaline gulped and stepped away to think clearly. Was it not enough that she hated PDA as it is and now she had had sex within in front of everyone?" 

"Hey," he pulled her close once again, " you are overthinking, adaline."

She was not.. "I can't do that in front of people, please."
