Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline knew what it meant when she said that but the possibility of it happening was not any less either. 

All of them, the people she knew at the moment were shifters at nature and it was obvious that they were going to favour Xavier over her. For Adaline it was desperately important to know if they were lying to her or not. 

"Placing a mark on someone, if not temporary, is for life uncle. If it had been temporary then they would have told me, and since it's not . . ." She fell silent. 

It was for life and life could end or continue to whatever extent it wanted. Not only that but Adaline did not want to be marked like that. 

"Say it, Adeline." Korr said. "Let it out." 

She did. "I have been marked for life and that is not how I imagined it to be. Yes, I would have taken time and this was so soon. . . I want it to be different and I want it to be with him." Forever was a long time. It was a long time especially when one was not sure if they were with the right person and she and Xavier were in the process of healing. 

"You don't like it." Korr concluded. "You don't like that you have been marked for life especially when you were not aware." 

To sum it all up in one go, "Yes." 

"Go talk to him Adeline," Korr said instead, taking her by surprise. "The only person who can put it all in the clear is him and as for talking about if it was right, then if it was your aunt who was on the verge of getting hypothermia which can be fatal, I would have done the same." 

"Huh . ." She muttered, her mind going somewhere else, "Okay. Bye."

"Bye kid." Korr said before he hung up. 

Adelene slowly took the phone away from her ear and placed it on the side table. As much as she hated being marked against her consent if she was going to die and this was the only option to save her, Adeline could understand How desperate and helpless Xavier must have felt in that moment. 

Which is why at the moment it became even more important to talk to Xavier because he was not here at the moment and by the looks of it, he was not going to show up any time soon. 

Adeline grabbed the cover in her hand before taking it off her and placing her feet down. Just the moment when she stood at the door opened and Elizabeth walked in. 

"What are you doing?" Elizabeth gently pushed Adaline back onto the bed as the first thing. "You should be resting, not going around standing up, especially when the temperature is freezing without any shoes." 

Adeline grabbed Elizabeth's hands on her shoulders and took them away. "I need to see Xavier." 

Elizabeth checked the jug of water. "Do you need some hot water to drink perhaps? You were awfully cold when you were brought in and I have heard that hot water helps calm your throat." 

Adeline scoffed. How nice of them to ignore her. 

"Elizabeth," Adelene began again but this time even more firmly, "I said I need to see Xavier." She stressed on each and every word in case this draft person did not understand the second time. 

Elizabeth, previously holding the jug, dropped it on the table with a loud thud on the table. "I would love for you to meet him but the Alpha does not want to meet anyone." 

Adeline frowned. "What? Why?" 

The last thing that Adaline wanted now was for them to stop talking. She needed to hear things from him for clarification and he needed to explain them for them to move forward. 

Adeline continued to look at Elizabeth for an answer who appeared to be at a loss of one. 

Adeline sighed. "Just take me to him?"

She was practically desperate at this point and would not mind adding a little please at the end. 

Elizabeth gulped. "Not that I have a problem in doing that but he is not taking any visitors in the room. Also he is um . . . chained up, are you ready to see that?" 

"Chained up?!" Adeline's eyes widened significantly. "Why?!" Why in the world was he chained up? Not only that but was anyone allowed to change up the king? 

Elizabeth replied, "The beast and the men do not see eye to eye on this matter. The problem is as much as the beast wants to come and comfort you particularly and protect you Xavier wants to pull away because he knows what he has done." Elizabeth glanced at the neck of Adaline. 

The mark. Elizabeth was talking about the mark and how it had affected Xavier but that was just how it had affected adaline. 

Adeline got down from the bed and with her feet firmly planted at the ground she started in front of Elizabeth with her back straightened as she told her, "you will take me to Xavier and I don't care if he takes any visitors or not because he will have to take me." 

Elizabeth shook her head, "But Adel—"

"No!" Adeline yelled! "I just want to talk to Xavier and you are going to take me to him! That is the end of the story!" 

She was at the end of her wits and Elizabeth again and again going on and on about the same thing did not help Adaline in this case. 

She was going to talk to Xavier and there was nothing that anyone could do about it. 

Elisabeth finally gave her a reluctant nod before sliding her slippers right in front of her that Adaline slipped her feet into. 

"Come on," Elizabeth said, flashing her a quick smile before opening the door for her to go out first. 

Adeline took in a huge breath before walking out of the door. This time Adelaide was aware.. This time she made good use of resources and This time they were going to do it right.
