Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

Note-

The Dominance being talked of in this Chapter is talked of in healthy terms. No abuse or manipulation of any kind. Here is means, scolding and punishments along with adoration and care, rough sex with aftercare and gentleness.

Dominant half knows who to take care but yes, he/she won't tolerate any bullshit.

Today again they had decided to walk home but without the bribe of one cream. It was a half an hour journey that the bus covered in ten minutes but Xavier said that he wanted to walk but with his expression, Adeline felt that he was in the mood for something else. 

As an alpha Lycan or even a wolf, the mate of his would be a natural submissive to his nature. His dominant beast did not want anyone coming near her mouth less touch her and that had been happening a lot.

His friends and packmates had informed him dutifully about what they saw. He couldn't just reveal tha fact that she had to understand that his beast was not happy and he was barely controlling it from surfacing so he had to take a little softer approach.

"My friend told me something today." Xavier started as Adeline hummed as she swung their hands wildly as they walked. "He said that you like someone else."

That made her freeze. She looked at him. "What?" She yelled. What he said was making her should like a cheater and she was anything but! "I am in a relationship with you. Why would I like someone else." She stated the obvious.

Hugging her close he said into her hair, "that is exactly what I said." Then he pulled away, "but he showed me this." He pulled his phone out and showered her a photograph.

It was her and Marshall leaning in that had been captured.

"What about it?" She asked looking at him and then at the picture. She knew what it was. It was chemistry and she was pointing out the colour of the liquid which was written dark pink in the near book but what they had was back in colour. And it smelled like poop.

"Look closely." He said again and this time his voice hardened which did not go unnoticed by her.

And she did. She realised what it has looked like. They were awfully and if they leaned in more, they would have kissed.

Now, she understood where he was coming from and if she was in his shoes, she would have to take it in the worst meaning possible. So, she immediately tried to explain, "I—it is not wha—"

"What it seems like?" He completed with a scoff making it obvious to her that he did not believe her. "Yes, that is what they all say." He scoffed walking forward and past her leaving her standing on the pathway.

"No," she yelled and ran to him and reached for his hand. He stopped and turned to look at her. "It's not. That was merely for a second! We both leaned in to look at the results. It was for chemistry!" Desperation was dripping from her voice. "I can have it confirmed! We stank the whole lab!"

"Your Chemistry is totally visible here." He muttered and looked away while taking deep breaths.

"What?!" She spat. "Not that chemistry. Chemistry as in a subject." She explained in a hurry. Why was he not understanding?

"I know that, Adeline. I was taunting you." He explained with a sigh. "tell me one thing, if someone showed you the pic with me and another girl, that close, what would you think? What would you think about that?" He showed her the picture again which was still on the screen when unlocked.

She sighed and glanced at the picture, swallowing with a resentful gaze. He was right. She would be jealous, hell the mere thought made her jealous.

"I.." she said and then looked at him from the picture. "I would feel jealous.." she mumbled and bounced back and forth on her toes.

"And?" He probed for more.

"Betrayed." She sniffed as unwanted tears came to her eyes. "I did not mean it. I—"

"It's okay." He sighed, hugging her quickly. "Come on, let's go." He said walking ahead. 

"Okay," she whispered and walked two steps behind him as he had picked up speed all of us and she could not match with it given his height and long legs.

Adeline was waiting for him to stop, turn around and walk along with her but he didn't. He instead kept on walking and when he reached home, he turned around and muttered a quick 'Goodbye' making her heart melt with sadness.

She stood in front of her house for a few moments staring at his door. Turning to her house she walked into her house with a slouch. She cooked something for herself and ate it without any hurry.

"Don't think about it."

"Ah!" Startled Adeline jumped and looked at the person who she had heard inside her house. Which was supposed to be empty.

She turned around and saw a boy standing there. It was the guy who jumped out of her window without a scratch.

"What? Who are you?" She asked him with a slight panic in her voice. Her father wasn't home and she was far away from where they kept the knives.

"Look, don't fear me. I am outside your house. Iron grills are between you and me, so I cannot enter without breaking in and that gives you enough time to run out and got the neighbours." He shrugged.

She stared at him, "tha—do you know how creepy that sounded like?"

He looked away, thinking about it. "Damn it," he cursed under his breath. "sorry, I am not that social."

"Right," she nodded understanding his reason because he could still kill her. Normal, it was. 

"I am Noah Scott." He introduced.

". . . .Okay," Was all she said.

He sighed. "Look, you have a whole career ahead of you. Don't let this get to you."

"Excuse me?" Adeline gawked at him having no idea what he was talking about. "What are you talking about?" The guy had balls to get inside her backwards, wherever he was from and was telling her what to think.

"The whole photograph issue." He answered with a concerned look on his face. Had she met him? "Do not care about it. You have a future ahead of you. A bright one at that. So, go and revise. There are seven billion people on this earth and you have met one boy as a romantic partner. You will meet better him and worst as compared to him. So think about yourself first."

"Who are you?" She asked after hearing him. "And why are concerned with me?" She pointed at him and then at herself.

"If someone is talking about your goodwill, I think that you should take it or at least, consider it. " He said, staring deep into her eyes making her shudder a bit. "The guy can come after you he should come after you. So think about yourself first." He pointed at her.

Adeline stared at him for a few moments and then shook her head. She felt defensive for Xavier. An unknown guy was weaving her in his tales and she didn't like it. Who was he to talk about him? "I think you should go." She stated firmly. "Out of my backyard please."

"Fine," he huffed. Taking a step closer, he smirked as his face was inches away from the bars.

Adeline blinked and found him out of her sight. He had disappeared! Again!

"Hi," a swish was heard she wad turned around and stood in front of her was Noah Scott making her heart hammer hard in her chest.

"H—How?" She whispered. He was gone in a blink and inside in one. How did he get in? The window had iron bars on them and every door was locked. She had not opened any so she was sure.

"Listen to me," his voice when once octave deeper, his eyes turned to a different colour and she could not look away and neither walked away. "You will keep your career and studies first. The boy or any boy comes after." He hissed.

She nodded involuntarily, looking into his eyes as they held her captive. Why couldn't she look away? How the HELL were her muscles frozen all of a sudden?

He nodded back, "Now, do me a favour and don't remember my face but the whole conversation. Close your eyes now."

Adeline blinked again and then looked around. "What happened?" She whispered in confusion. Was someone here? She looked around and found no one. But it felt like someone was here. . . Like someone was here talking to her.

Shaking her head, she shrugged and walked away, there was no one here. It was time to study and exams were a week away. The studies were to be prioritized first. They were above all.
