Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Bringing her to his room and nowhere else had to have a reason behind it. Xavier could have easily given her any room in the castle. 

He shrugged and moved past her, going deeper into the living room. "All the other rooms were occupied." 

"Oh were they?" She taunted and repeated his words as she followed him and sat on the seat next to him, bouncing the questions underneath her slightly. "You have like a billion rooms here. Do you really want to say that?" 

Adeline had seen the palace countless times and she knew how big it was and she would be surprised to know if every room was actually occupied. 

That would be near impossible. 

"We have two hundred and twenty two bedrooms, not a billion, Adaline." He corrected as he took off his shoes. "Also, not forgetting to mention, all of them are occupied." 

Adeline's frown grew even more. "You want to tell me that there are 100 rooms here and they are occupied?!" 

"Yes," he answered effortlessly, not paying any attention and taking his socks off, "In these 200 rooms are also the rooms of the staff members and the family members that live here. So yes every room is occupied at the moment."

Xavier did not hear a reply for the longest of time. It was probably 10 seconds that had gone by and for Adeline to stay quiet for that long was very suspicious. 

Looked up to see her standing up, instead of sitting down next to him, with her arms folded across her chest and staring at him. 

"You know I know that you are lying, right?" She raised an eyebrow and stared at his eyes without an ounce of inside her. She made an expression of a mother who had just got her child red-handed. 

"Like, I can completely tell that you're lying to me at this point." For emphasis Adeline, pointed to the floor with her index finger emphasizing that she was talking about this point, right here. 

He couldn't help it. He chuckled at that and and shook his head slightly at her dramatic antics. 

"I am telling you the truth." He stayed with his truth. 

Lair, the beast growled back of his mind making his presence known once again.

Adelen noticed the sudden change in his eyes. The flashed in Amber and something she had not seen happening for a long time. 

"What happened?" She asked. "What happened just now. I saw your eyes changing colors." 

He gave her a strained smile. "Sometimes our animalistic side makes their displeasing opinions known by growling or whining or even.. in front of his mate purring. Some cases they can barely conjure some words too." 

"Do you do so?" 

Actor innocent question Xavier could not help but feel slightly mocked. 

His beast had made his presence known a couple of times when Adaline was with him and that was before all of this happened. He had even had himself being called stupid by his other half. That was something that had never happened before with him but with Adeline in it seemed like his beast also came to life. 

"He growled to express how happy he is to have you here in his room." He answered. "He just cannot be thankful enough." 

"Oh," Adeline muttered. "That's nice of him." Was it though? She narrowed her eyes at him again, "is it him thinking that or is it you?" 

The little Penguin was not as innocent and naive as it seemed. 

He shrugged innocently before standing up and moving close to her. "Does it matter?" He asked as he stared at her green-brown eyes. "You don't wear contacts now."

She huffed. 

"You have the most beautiful eyes I have seen, Adeline. This is rare." He commented as he gazed into them. 

She shied away. "Don't." 

Getting bullied for her eye color was such a small thing now.

She felt his arms go around her waist and slowly pulled her close. Her eyes fluttered and so did her heart. Leaning into his touch, She melted into his arms. 

"Your body needs my touch at the moment, Adeline. It is necessary for your body to seek comfort in mine and heal itself or stop this is why my father and I wanted you to stay here." He murmured from above her and Adeline concluded that it was not as bad as it had to be. 

"My aunt might allow it for today but she will raise hell tomorrow." 

Xavier shook his head at the innocent mate. If you wanted he could kill Teresa with the flick of his finger. 

However, he would entertain it. 

"If you think so," he sighed. "However, if you want we can stay at your house over the weekend, you would not be able to sleep away from me for a long time, Adaline." 

"Where am I sleeping?" She asked instead of acknowledging and replying to what he had said earlier. 

"I have a lot of rooms here but I would prefer if you sleep with me and just to be clear, we are adult's and we can sleep together." 

They could. 

So, she nodded. Adeline felt drained already and would give anything to have this over with. 

And Hindus are. It was evident when someone would look at her face, they could tell that she was tired which is why he reached over and picked her up princess style before walking to the bedroom that he used every night. 

He placed her down on the bed before reaching over to the other side and pulling her close. He pulled the covers on top of them and held her secure. 

"There you go," he cooed in her ear, making her smile, "you are snug as a bug." He used the human term making her giggle at what he said.

The smile died down and she fell into a deep sleep. 

Just when her breathing slowed down his eyes went to the mark on her neck.. There was something he had to tell her about it.
