Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

"What?" Xavier barked out after staring at her incredulously. "What did you just say to me?" 

Adeline licked her lips before nervously repeating what she had said. "I said I think we can do it for the people." 

His eyes narrowed. " Have you fucking lost it?" He stood up from his chair. " How did you even manage to think about that?" 

She shrugged quickly. "It's something we can do about it. We just have to sleep once. It could be like a one night stand?" 

He scoffed, "Yeah, no."

"What? Am I all of a sudden so disgusting that you cannot even sleep with me?" She spat, irritated by his attitude. "How come you want to do this for your people? I would totally understand if it was me standing on the other side and refusing to do this but why are you running from it? Are you afraid that once again you might catch feelings and want to be with me?" 

"Adeline." Xavier warned but she didn't step back. 

"Are you going to be that selfish to deny your people of something that is affecting them so gravely?" She heaved slightly. "I know you are a selfish bastard but at least don't affect the whole Kingdom because of it!" 

She let out a gasp when she saw him in front of her within a second holding her jaw tightly as he stared into his eyes or more likely glared. 

She stared at him with widened eyes. How reach here so quickly? And why? 

"I said mind it," he gritted out. "Hear me?" 

"Kiss me." 

His expressions changed. "What?" 

Her eyes snapped his. "I said, kiss me." 

A nanosecond did not even pass when she felt his lips on her. His tongue pushed its way in her mouth and her knees buckled. The air around her cackled and she became more aware of how much his touch affected her. 

Every Goosebumps on her body stood up and her hand went to his jaw, cupping his jaw she kissed him even more passionately than before. 

She tried to fight him for an upper hand but to no avail. Xavier won the battle and his tongue dominated as did his hand in her waist. One of them reached to her ass and gave it a quick squeeze making her moan loudly. 

It was too much, too much of the familiar feelings. 

She let out a shuddered breath as he pulled away. Their foreheads were joined and Adeline breathed heavily whereas Xavier was not. He did not look affected by any of it. 

"You okay?" He asked and she nodded against his head, enjoying the intimacy. 

It has been so long since she had felt his touch and it felt great. The past came rushing back to her and she tried her best to control the tears. 

"Why are you crying?" She heard him say, "I don't think my kissing skills have gotten that rusty." 

She chuckled instantly and laughed at his words slightly. "No, no. Leave it, I do not want to go at the moment." 

"Just tell me," he insisted. 

She gulped. "I just remember the past. . . I just remember how familiar it all felt." 

Her scent reeked of sadness and he felt it in his heart. Of course, she was reminiscing about the past. 

It was full of beautiful memories but surrounded by a barricade which held all the bottle of feelings they had. They had lost three people in total one by each of them as an individual and one person that they were to share life with. 

What he did not understand was how he had ever been moved on so quickly from the fact that he had killed their daughter. 

He would have always held himself responsible and now that she had forgiven him only made it more difficult for him because he wanted her to hold him responsible for this. He failed. 

He pulled away from her making her long for his touch immediately. "What happened?" Adeline's scowling face came up. 

"Nothing." 

"Just tell me," she insisted just as he had done once. A quick smile flashed on his lips as he realised that she had told his own words against him. 

"Have you forgiven me?" He turned to look away as he asked her the words not having enough courage in him to see her face when she was going to reply. 

"Yes," she said gently, "why?" 

"I don't think you know what happened to our daughter . ." 

Ah, Adeline nodded understandingly. 

It had taken her a week to understand what had gone wrong with the whole scenario there. Her uncle had repeatedly explained the situation to her whenever she demanded. She had even asked Butler's opinion on this and somehow they all meant the same thing which at the end of the day meant saving her child. 

"I know Xavier," she walked closer to him and rubbed his shoulder, "I know it was a very difficult decision for you to make and I am grateful for the courage that you showed. I understand that it was necessary." Her voice was barely audible by the time she finished. She felt the tears rising up again. 

He turned his face slightly towards her and noticed the tears that shined brightly in her eyes as she tried to get rid of them. "You're crying, Adeline. I don't think you have forgiven me." 

The lack of empathy this boy had in the situation made her slightly cranky. "Look," she snapped, "what you did practically saved a daughter otherwise that child would have been under that vampire's control for the rest of her life and I don't think I would have been able to see that. I understand why you did this and I forgive you for this because you had a logical reason for it. So now, stop barking up against the wrong tree." She sniffed as she glared at him. "And I lost my child so I can cry anytime I want!"
