Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

She stared at the thick red, sticky liquid falling on the floor. That was blood. Noah had asked her to put blood into the goblet which she had filled half before realising what is truly was. She knew blood, she recognised it well because she has seen her own leg bleeding twice by a wolf bite.

"Tsk," he said and she turned to him, tilting her body in half not moving from her place that she originally stood in. "Adaline Marigold Woods you are a very messy person." He chuckled did not trouble himself enough to look behind him and at her.

She gulped in fear as she looked back her at the mess she had made. Would he hurt her for this?

"Bring whatever you put into the goblet to me." He ordered, "and hurry with that. Do not make me wait if you do not want to endure any pain for now."

She looked at the glass with underline feared because it held blood of someone she could have possibly known. Which shaking hands she grabbed it and took it to him with small steps bridging the distance between them.

"Thank you." He took the glass held out by her and continued to stare out of the window whereas Adeline had stepped back and had placed a little bit distance in between them.

He sipped in and she watched with swallow it. She did not know what she was feeling because at the moment she was face to face with someone who could be responsible for her very death.

So she stayed as still as she could not even moving an inch as she tried her best to not create any sound.

Her eyes were trained on her stomach.

"I see," he commented and she looked up to find that he was staring at her stomach as well. "Let me begin from there then." He nodded to himself and turned around to look at her.

"You are truly pregnant adaline."

She stared at him before scoffing, her fear not forgotten. "Yes I would love to believe that were please explain how the hell was this bump invisible for the past seven months!"

He glanced at it once before telling her, "Witchcraft. Witchcraft had blocked your pregnancy from anyone else so much so that even you could not see it. You were lucky to not have any of those early pregnancy signs that humans usually do the only thing that you realised was happening to you was getting tired easily and having an increased appetite."

Now that she had an answer which did support with a bit of reasonable logic she glanced at her belly again wondering about it all.

"But why?" She wondered out loud. "Why would you take such great pains to hide my pregnancy?"

He chuckled. "Ah, innocent you." He sighed and looked out again. "I always wanted you to remain that innocent. If I would not have helped you would have had so many people to protect you to live their lives, for your protection, for you thrive. Such innocence would have been greatly treasured by them."

"Them?" She picked the word. "Who?"

"Does not matter now, whosoever they are." He shook his head. "I have to hide your pregnancy so that no one would ever know, especially your mate or anyone of the shape-shifting community that a member of the royal family, the only human mate, was pregnant."

"What happens if they know?" She wanted to know. Maybe, they were the ones who could save her. That was the chance of escape she had. The only chance of escape which she could hope would making her come out of it all alive.

He shook his head again. "Does not matter," he muttered. "That's something that is never going to happen."

He took her step step closer to her making her eyes snap to his. "Do you remember the time when I told you that the woman I loved was long dead and I asked you if you would ever help me."

Where was this going? She swallowed her own spit as she heard him weary of what was going to be next.

"You said, yes, I will help you however I can."

What the fuck was that supposed to mean? She scoffed not caring for the crude words any more. "Yes I do remember saying that but I said that as a friend to you. If you ever need help in anything else not for me to be kidnapped an-and b-brought here and be placed in a dungeon!" She Stuttered for the correct words as the rage she felt towards the man had taken over.

"What makes you think that just because someone offered their help you you can actually use them by kidnapping them like this?!" She screamed at him at the top of her voice not caring for anything else now. "What's this all because I offered my help you? Did you ever help me truly from the goodness of your heart like you claim to do?!"

He titled her head and continued to watch her.

"I have lost my father and I have lost the guy that I loved because you said that he would have killed me within seconds if he knew anything about me in knowing about him!"

"Correction, dear one," he stepped to her making her shut up. "First of all I never said anything about him killing, you know. All I said was he would never let you leave and that was enough for you to feel trapped." He smiled cheekily, "Such an innocent and gullible mind you have, it is so easy to manipulate you. It is just what a Luna has."

"What the hell is a Luna?" She gritted out. "Can you for once at least tell me what exactly is going on. Every card you had is now laid out in front of me just tell me what's happening!" She spat having enough of this.

He nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I think you are right." He nodded and pointed to the window making her eyes change their direction.

"Look out little Adeline," he said with a small smile, "Your demise awaits."
