Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adaline stared at the spot before she blinked her eyes and finally stepped closer. 

Was it real? 

She knew that she had seen the witch and she knew that the name of the witch was Amulya. But then, where did the witch go? 

Stepping right in front of the door, exactly where the witch had previously stood, Adaline knew for a fact that she had been here and now she had vanished. 

She had seen her grip something in her, a necklace of sorts, and from whatever she had seen in the human witchcraft series that must have helped her in transportation. 

Teleportation perhaps? 

"Oh my God.."

She looked down right beside her right foot. There was proof that the witch had been here. The blood that she had vomited out.

But that was the thing about it; it was not red in color or crimson like it was called, it was black. 

Adaline slowly stepped away from the blood and stopped into the corner. 

The blood looked like it had come out of something rotten inside her body. How was that possible? 

Her eyes widened at the fact that he has still not made his appearance. From the past she knew that it did not take him much time to change his clothes, making her even more worried than she had done before.

Throwing the fear of the Rotten blood out of her mind, she stepped on it and opened the door. 

"Xavier?!" Adaline yelled at the top of her voice, making sure that everyone knew who she was calling for. "Where are you—"

"Hey," she had a short, harsh whisper making her turn around. 

Xavier was leaning in from the door frame with the door open partially just so his face could pop out of it. "What's wrong?" He asked with concern dripping from his tone and his voice between the exact emotion. 

For a brief moment, his eyes narrowed, "Why is your heart waiting so quickly?" He could hear the little human heart inside her chest pounding so quickly that he was afraid she might catch a stroke. 

Adaline stared at him before a deep furrow came to her forehead. Xavier was popping his head out of the door without letting her see any of his body. Why was he doing that? 

"Did you know change already?" Adaline what is closer to him before stopping right in front of the door. "Open it and let me in." She pointed at the door before trying to push it only for it not to move at all. 

Xavier clicked his tongue, "now how about you go and send Khiel in?" 

"Khiel?" Adaline repeated, definitely remembering the name that she had heard somewhere before it clicked. "The person who dresses you?" 

Xavier gave her a sharp nod. "Could you go?" 

Narrowing her eyes back at him ever so slightly, she rolled her eyes before moving downstairs and bringing the man up. 

"Thank you Luna," Khiel nodded at her. "You can wait downstairs if you want. I will take care from here." 

The moment Khiel knocked on the door it was opened by Xavier from the inside making Adeline frown. 

Instead of walking away as the man had told her, she occupied a seat on the stairs so that she could keep a watchful eye on the door.

The inconsistent tapping of her foot was even irritating her but Adaline could not do anything else other than waiting. 

After what seemed like hours, Khiel stepped out. He closed the door and turned around making Adaline gasp at his face. 

It was covered in bruises and his left was torn making blood come out of it. 

"What the hell happened between the two of you?" Adaline whispered in a hurry as she stood up and walked towards him. "Why did he hit you?"

By the looks of it, Kheil had gotten a heavy number done on him. It was like she let it all go. 

"Uh.." he gulped, his eyes darting here and there. "I am not allowed to tell." 

He was not allowed to tell? Xavier had suddenly beat the shit out of him and he was not ready to tell? 

At first, she wanted to pressure him into telling her what was going on but then it did not take much time for Adaline to realize that Khiel's loyalty was very alpha and he was not going to sell him out. 

Which meant they were only one way for her to receive her answer. 

Instead of waiting around for him to come out, Adeline opened the door and barged into the room that was bigger than the one they had stayed in before. 

Her eyes landed on the huge man that was sitting on the bed with his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. 

That was Xavier. 

"I remember him telling you to leave." 

"And I promised that I won't," she rebuked back, within seconds. "Why did you hit him?" 

He didn't answer. 

Adaline waited for as much as she could before she finally let it out. "Why did you hit him?!" 

"I spar with people to keep myself in control." He growled out all of a sudden making her take a step back at the ferocity of it. 

It shook the floor. 

So no one lied when they said that the ferocity of an Alpha's growl could shake the land. 

Suddenly, he stood up and closed the distance between them within seconds. He towered over her and breathed heavily as he grated out the words, "I fight with people to keep myself under control. I fight because .."

"Because?" She whispered in the proximity. "Because what?" 

"I wish to take you, Adaline," he whispered into her ear, bending down, inhaling her scent. "I wish to claim you mine. This Time, correctly and with all the fucking blessings. But I cannot do that because you are not ready for it," he hissed before standing up straight and walking away from her. 

Once, he had the distance of at least two arms in between them he stopped and stared at her with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "So tell me, Adeline, what do I do?"
