Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline opened her eyes and closed them. She released a small sigh but was unable to do so. Her nose was congested so she opened her mouth to release the awaited sigh. 

She snuggled into the pillows more. Sleep came once again and the thought of Xavier was pushed to the very back of her mind.

"Do I go in now?" Tessa nervously bit her nail but Korr stopped her. "I do not know if she wants me to go in there or not. I don't want to burden her, that's for sure." She muttered out nervously as she waited for the verdict. 

Korr sighed and rubbed her shoulder. 

Jenna gave out a wary sigh. "Lycan pregnancies are hard on women of supernatural kind especially, since we had three sons, our only regret is not having a daughter, which is why I cannot help you either." 

They all looked at the door. They were staring at the door of Adeline's room. 

"I think you should go over now," Korr said to his mate, "I can hear the change in her breathing. She is awake." 

Jenna looked at Tessa, "Do you mind if I come as well? I understand if you say no."

"That's fine." Tessa denied. It was all who hadn't wanted to see now. She turned to Javis, "do you mind bringing some hot cardamom milk?" 

He nodded. "A Minute or two Madam," excused himself and disappeared from their side. They all once again turned to look at the door of Adaline's room. 

Tessa gulped. "Did she cry all night?" 

"Fortunately no," Korr replied, he had been awake, "she had alcohol in her system which helped her sleep." 

He was aware of the fact that Adeline had cried for some time but sleep had come to her soon because she was drunk. 

He never had a sister but now he was worried for the daughter he might have. Looking at Adeline crying like that made his heart fall. 

"Here Madam," Javis returned and gave Tessa the tray. 

"Thank you." She whispered as she took it. Jenna opened the door and Tessa walked in first with a gentle smile on her face. "Good morning, my party girl."

Adeline whined but a tired smile came to her face at the sight of her aunt and Jenna. "Hi." 

"How was last night?" Tessa softly asked as she sat beside Adaline and Jenna took a seat at the foot of the bed. 

"Bad." The young girl groaned out. 

"Aww," Tessa placed a kiss on her forehead and then helped her to sit up. "Take this and sip slowly." 

Adeline gratefully took the hot liquid. It brought peace to her throat which was not raw. 

"You know." She commented on how the silence prevailed in the room and the two women continued to watch her with caution. "He told you." She accused him as she looked at her aunt who slowly shook her head. 

"He had to, love." And for the first time Tessa was grateful for his presence. 

She nodded understandingly before my lips started to tremble and she closed her eyes. She cupped her mouth as a sob broke out. It was too much. 

"Oh my darling," Tessa snuggled into her child and pulled her impossible close. She rubbed Adeline's shoulder and threw her leg over hers, completely coconing her. 

"It's hurts you know," she sobbed out but a sad wail of a mourning woman, "I never knew to love him so much and he. . .just . ." 

Tessa closed her eyes. She was going to cry too. 

Jenna came over and sat near their feet. "Men are stupid. Utterly stupid at times." 

Adeline nodded and so did Tessa. 

She sobbed more. The sadness did not stop, it hurt too much. She started coughing and Tessa stood up to give her some more water when Jenna looked at something and picked it up. " What is this?" She held up a flimsy excuse of a cloth. 

"The slutty dress I wore." Adeline revealed as she then made a crying face, "even that didn't work." 

Jenna looked at the backless dress, "utter idiot indeed." 

Adeline giggled before sniffing. That gave her an idea. 

Korr entered the room and it was her and him and her now. Jenna had left. 

"You called for me, kid?" He sighed as he took a seat on the bed. "what up?" 

She chuckled but then her expressions changed. "I don't think I want to go out anymore." 

His eyebrows raised slightly at that request. "But honestly Adelaide you do not go out much. Are you talking about school?" 

She nodded. 

"Is it because Xavier would be going to school?" He further added. 

Adeline nodded. 

He hummed and nodded to himself before saying, "little one, does it sit well with you that you do not want to go to school because of a boy?" 

She stretched her lips but lowered her eyes. Yesterday Adaline did not know what came over her to ask Xavier such a question but when he did not give her the reply she needed she just wanted to know if there was a chance to begin with or not. It had only been a day for her to try but if there was not a chance that was possible then why would she ever waste her efforts? 

"I do." She admitted with small shame, "but it was too much to be near him and equally far. I don't know how I took care of myself for the past seven months but I cannot do it now." 

"That's fine bub," Tessa massaged her scalp, "it's fine." She gave Korr a pleading look. 

His eyes turned to Adeline who was already watching him. He stood up and placed his hand on her cheek. "I do not have a problem with you trying to cope up with the heartbreak but with drawing yourself from what you like to do is not fair. I will give you some time to deal with that but after that Adeline you have to come back to normal. Perhaps a new normal?" 

She thought about it. She did not want to change her entire life for someone who could not even come to terms with what he wanted. He stayed silent why she demanded an answer from him, a clear yes or no answer. So who was he for her to stop her life for? 

She nodded. "Yes, I will do that."
