Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

All three of them looked at Preston and Ashlynn inched towards Adeline's side. The movement did not go unnoticed by Preston. 

"If you all would follow me. I think we should go to the castle." 

Adeline was hesitant. Every one of them could feel that. 

"I-I. ." She licked her lips and glanced at Xavier who nodded, 

"If you want I can call your aunt there." He offered and Adeline nodded. Her aunt was her support system and she would love to have her. Her uncle might not be available at the moment. 

The cars were added in and the rest of them shifted. Ashlynn took a seat beside her in the car and Adaline was grateful for her presence. 

Adaline glanced at Ashlynn, she appeared to be normal now. She was no longer panicking of healing for breath and seemed far from it. How is this possible? She wondered. What had she done? She could still feel that thing inside her but now in a much smaller amount. What was that? 

Holy shit, was she a witch?! Her eyes widened. A witc— 

Adeline gasped at the sight in front of her. The palace was huge and she could not believe that she had just seen two rooms in this place. No wonder that the rooms were so huge and the hallways so wide. The palace seemed to be the best one she had seen in her entire life. 

The car stopped and she hopped out of it within moments Ashlynn joined her side. 

Xavier stood at the door as if he had reached there already and everyone followed Preston inside. 

It was a room with a long table and chairs on the side. It was some kind of meeting room that Preston had brought them in and then he asked them all to sit. 

"I was not following you," he addressed Xavier, "but my granddaughter was in the cafe and I was asked to bring her back. Fortunately I witnessed what happened and I have an answer for it." 

"I am not a witch!" Adeline blurted out in a hurry, "I don't even like the devil!"

The room felt silent, making her blush profusely. 

Xavier laughed a little, "We know." He turned to Preston. "What happened?" 

Preston nodded and took the attention off of Adaline who was blushing heavily. 

He began, "I would explain to you what exactly happened but I need to get the facts in order. Lady Ashlynn," he addressed and looked at her, "did you feel as if the walls were closing in on you and any day you will use your breath?" 

She nodded. "I felt like it was over for me at that moment. I was forcing myself to take my breath. I knew I was going to die, elder Preston." 

Elder Preston nodded. "And that is the moment when Luna adaline to control of the situation. What did you feel?" 

Adeline's attention immediately turned to Ashlynn. She wanted to know what Ashlynn felt. 

Ashlynn released a long breath out as she nodded to herself. "Protection. I felt protected and I felt her support. It was like another or coming from adaline that told me that . ." She sighed and shook her head. " I really don't know how to put it in words." Adeline lowered her head into her hands. 

Adeline leaned forward and placed her hands on the table as she looked at Ashlynn. "Anything you want to tell us Ashylnn. It was the first time that something like this happened and I just want to know how you felt." 

Ashlynn raised her head and everyone watched as a look of determination came to her face. The nervous Ashlynn had left the chat and determined one had entered.

She began again but this time much confidently. "It was like home. A place where I felt secured, protected and loved. It was exactly that feeling that adaline was giving me. . A purpose, a new life." 

Ashylnn stared into Adeline's eyes. "Wolves are more mate oriented but I see my loyalty and love being devoted to you. Instead of having a mate, my purpose is to serve you, willingly." 

Adeline's brows shot up. She gaped at Ashlynn. 

"Just as I thought," Preston concluded, "that is what we call Luna's helping hand. It is when she provides her hand to a dying soul craving for her mate and ready to join the afterlife before it's time. With this, the Luna provides them with a new sense of purpose which is to serve, protect and love her." 

"But is that not selfish?" Adeline found herself whispering before she realised it. For her this was awfully selfish of someone to do. 

Preston shook his head, denying the claim and countering it by pointing at Ashlynn, "you have noticed a difference in her immediately. Action and now has no breathing problems and she feels much better on the inside which means that a Luna's hand is a true fact not just a myth." 

Adeline's eyes moved to Ashylnn's. She did seem brighter. In fact even Ashlynn's eyes look much brighter in appearance. 

So was it true then? 

"I don't know what it felt like," Adeline ended up speaking on her own, " it was like something from me went out to Ashlynn and it was just as in the whole world." 

Preston's forehead creased as he spoke, " there is not much that I can tell you about this because it was heard about a long time ago. Perhaps in the Lunas diaries you might find something of value." 

"The what?" Adeline frowned and even Xavier leaned forward. 

"What is that Preston? What are you talking about?" Xavier's mind wandered around. Since his uncle did not have a mate for long and Adeline did not occupy the room of the Luna were the books even safe and there to begin with? 

"Just like Alphas, betas and delta passed on books to the next generation lunas and beta and delta females do it too. However, since Luna Adaline did not take a position near the other females have not received the books." Preston's eyes moved to Adeline, " only the Luna can open it. "
