Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Her lower lip would not stop wobbling. "How did you know?" The words slipped out of her mouth slowly and softly, that it seemed so innocent that Xavier could help but take her into his arms. 

"I ask your aunt for permission as it is customary or something I have seen in human couples." He rubbed the side of her stomach. "I want to seek permission of your family members to have you by my side forever—"

"She did not reject you?" Adeline quipped up and looked at him quizzically. Knowing her aunt, it was obvious that Teresa would have never said yes in the first place. 

"She did." He answered and placed a kiss on her forehead and seized the frown. "I was getting to it." He chided but continued, 

"After a lot of.. curses, yelling," 

Adeline closed her eyes and buried her head in his chest. It was kind of embarrassing especially when he was retelling everything. Perhaps her aunt could go a little easy on him given that he was the king of the world that they were living in. 

"Not to forget the things that she threw at me," Xavier sighed in exhaustion, "and after a bunch of terms and conditions she finally said yes."

His hand went to the ring finger and he held it out for them to look at as he continued, "I remembered how attracted you felt when you saw the pendant and then your aunt told me about the ring your father had gifted your mother when he proposed to her."

It was still so clear to him to stop her eyes having lit up when she recognised how similar or same had the pendant been to the one that her mother wore. 

He kissed the ring and her nose, "also this one does not have fucking magic in it."

She giggled at that. Scrunched up his face slightly, annoyed by the magic and Adeline found it really was hilarious. 

Adelen looked at the glittering ring in the soft candlelight. The sapphire was surrounded by many small diamonds on the side but was something that made this much more beautiful in her eyes. 

One; it was given to her by Xavier and second it resembles the one her parents had used to symbolize their love. 

She looked away from the ring and at the room. His soft caresses only made her lul in herself to sleep. 

The room looked beautiful. The rose petals, the candles, how humanly It looked at this point. It did look like the human man was proposing to a human woman. 

The realization alone was too much for her to swallow in one go. This was her moment, with him. Something that defined the point of their love. 

Something that they had and only with each other. 

The same, special love. 

"Why did you propose though?" She yawned but continued to ask, "I had said yes to the ceremony." 

At the end of the day she was the one who had pushed him for the ceremony and if wanted, he could have easily gone through with or without a worry of what anyone thought. 

"Because you deserved a proposal." His answer came instantly. "I wanted you to have a proposal of your dreams. That was something we never discussed then I realized that but going forward with the ceremony meant that you were being married to me and I wanted it to be something that you dreamed of." 

"I dreamed of a human proposal.." she agreed as she realized that. No matter what situation Adeline found herself in, she always imagined that her partner would get on one knee while proposing to her. 

She always had that dream as a little girl and her shoulder followed her into the following years of growing up. 

"I know," she felt a kiss on her forehead, "it is important to me that you received it."

"Is this why you left so early and you made me go home and my aunt and uncle are not at the dining table?" 

He had sent her earlier than usual and her aunt and uncle had not been available for her today. It was really unusual because Adeline expected that the moment she would arrive home, she would be smothered by her and she was very much wanting it. 

"Yes," he whispered, patting her side, "they agreed to give us space." 

"They did?" She questioned and frowned. 

Xvaier huffed and she felt the blow of air on her hair, "Fine, you uncle had to drag her out." He admitted with a little huff. "Your aunt is a strong woman. I would say for a human she is utterly stupid to fight us, but I admire the way she does it."

"Don't call her stupid," Adeline warned. 

"Won't." He agreed right away. "I am saying that for humans she is very Brave." 

That she was. 

Teresa Woods was one brave woman who was not afraid to go after anyone who would come after her family. For someone who has lost a lot of people, she was not afraid to fight for the one that she had left. 

"Thank you for doing this." She spoke up after some time. "It really means alot to me." 

She felt him away from her and then his hands went on her waist. Picking her up he made her strangle him. 

Staring deep into her eyes, Xavier said every word loud and slow for her to understand clearly. "You do not need to find me for something that you deserve, Adeline." 

He cupped her cheek from the right side. "I would have not proposed to you knowing that there was a lot you wanted to do with your life. But since the circumstances have presented me the opportunity, I am not going to back away." 

He kissed the hand that had her ring, "It looks beautiful on your finger."

She giggled, "Corny Lycan." She teased. 

"Only for you, my love," he kissed her lips, "Just for you."
