Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

"And what time will you be coming back?" Jason questioned his daughter with a raised brow.

"It's not my first time out!" She nearly cried. He had been questioning her since the morning. ​​

"But on a date," he thought for a second, "I think the boy's intelligent for taking you out in daylight."

She sighed, never having understood the meaning, whatever could happen at night, could happen during the day too, "Can I go and get ready?" She looked at him with pleading eyes. It would be the worst impression if he had to wait for her.

"Yes, baby bear. But take care and take a pepper spray as well." She nodded and walked back up. The dress was laid on the bed, she went ahead and changed into it.

The doorbell rang and it was the final step. It meant that he was here and her first date had officially begun. Her father beat her to open the door and they were talking to each other. When she walked in he was surprisingly in a good mood.

"Ready, kiddo?" He smiled, knowing her nerves. He squeezed her shoulder to provide some warmth.

"Yes, papa. Bye." She walked out, smiling as Jason closed the door.

"You look very, very pretty, I mean not beautiful but Pretty beautiful. I mean like gorgeous beautiful and pretty-" he rambled on and on until Jason broke it up.

"I think, we get the picture," Jason shouted from the window. He was keeping an eye on them through the curtains, making them laugh.

"Come, let's go sit in the car." He held out his hand and she held him, walking to the car he opened her door and sat in the driver's seat, making the car smoothly roll out of the driveway.

"What do you have in mind regarding this date?" She asked. They had not on discussed it and for she knew, the place could McDonald's and she would be wearing an expensive dress there.

"You're nervous, aren't you?" His genuine smile made her relax a bit. At least, he wasn't laughing.

Xavier wasn't any less nervous from her. He couldn't be any dumber when he saw her. He was so out of his mind that he didn't notice that her father was looking at them from the window. He could only wish his family didn't hear it especially his brothers.

"Okay," he glanced at her, "so it's a little bit of a walk and since you're wearing flats It'll be easier." He said as he parked the car and helped her out of the door. He took a picnic basket from the back seat and a blanket. God, she looks so beautiful, he thought, taking her hand in his, they walked together into a little passage between the trees. She occasionally looked at her surrounding as she had never experienced nature so close when she was living in the City.

When Xavier stopped she bumped into his back but quickly came by his side to see.

"A river?!" She excitedly exclaimed.

"More of a lake, sweetie, it's man-made." He chuckled. "Come on, let's get started." He laid down the blanket and the basket, she sat down and he did too, right next to her.

"What's your favourite colour?" She mumbled.

"Hmm," he looked at her, "it's brown."

"Eww, whose favourite Colour is brown?" She scrunched up her face.

"Well, my girlfriend's eyes are of that colour." He spoke with a tiny smile.

Guilt washed over her. He had a girlfriend and here she was, sitting with him or god forbid, it was a case of an ex-girlfriend.

"Adeline," his soft call made her break out of her thoughts and look at him.

"Yeah,"

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?" He looked at her into her eyes with the intensity that could tell anyone, he loved her already.

Before she could even think about it, he said, "I know that we weren't off but I truly fell for you. I would protect you, feed you and keep you happy even it means robbing a bank for fun or crashing a wedding whatsoever. I would say yes in a heartbeat to everything, Adeline. So would say yes?" He looked hopeful, hell he felt so too.

Maybe, it won't be so bad. It's just one chance. She thought.

"Okay," she breathed in and out, "I say, yes to being your girlfriend." She smiled in the end, making his flutter. He immediately went to hug her, tight enough to let her breathe by being as close as possible to him.

"You won't regret it, I swear, you won't regret it." He mumbled into her hair.

"Thank you for the assurance," she teased, "but can we eat now?" She looked with a cute hungry face at him making him adore her even more.

He nodded and opened the basket, placing the food containers on the blanket. He and his family avoided plastic, they prefered metal containers that could be reused again and again. He, in the end, took out plates and gave her one with food served on it.

She hmmed on the first bite that she took. Good to know his mate like his cooked food, given his mum helped as well.

"Hey Adeline, what your favourite animal?"

"I like snakes." She grinned, completely disregarding his disgusted expression. "I love to see them slithering away. Oh and Scorpions as well. The tail is so cute but papa won't let me have any!"

"Oh thank you, Jason Woods." He muttered too low for her ears to reach.
