Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adaline did not look away from his eyes. For the first time Xavier let the vulnerability he felt slip. And the moment he did, Adeline caught it. 

Chuckling at the breakthrough she made with her shifter mate, Adaline raised his hand and kissed the knuckles. 

She smiled at him through the tears happy with the progress made and how they moved past it. The moment was broken by her aunt's yell. 

"I don't understand it. Adeline only has one uncle and that tells me she talked to you why you did not tell me what happened!" She shrieked at the top of her voice making every shifter wince. 

"And you two!" She turns to the youngest couple in the room, "even though I am happy to learn about the turn of events, I'm still not ready for you to bang it out in front of my eyes!" 

"Auntie!" Adeline cried helplessly and embarrassment. Xavier chuckling at that only made her blush harder. 

She felt him take his hand away from her and before she knew it she was pulled to his chest with his hands lightly wrapped around her. 

"Yes, Adeline had called me but that was a conversation between her and me. It would not do any good if we did not know the truth from them." Adeline heard Korr say. 

"Also there is much of a backstory to this particular event. It would be best if we all sat down for this." 

There were a few moments filled with silence before it was Javier that replied, "I don't think sitting down for it would be the best thing for us to do. That has been quite a shock for us and we should go out and wave." 

"Wave?" Adeline murmured for the ears of her lover. 

Xavier leaned a little and whispered to her, "something we were supposed to do when we got out of the car. Now the people are waiting for us to do that from the palace's balcony." 

Shit. She was supposed to wave at a ton of people? 

"Don't worry." Fever spread as of understanding the bunch of nerves that she was feeling. "It's just a small wave, give them the beautiful smile that you have and that's it." 

She chuckled and smiled widely at that. 

"Hurry now," Javier suggested while standing at the door. It was then added and noticed that he was the only one in the room. "We have to go so that the people can go and go back to their tasks." 

Adeline nodded and she was sure that they were dead. Once the man was out, Xavier cupped her jaw Harshly and placed a huge smooch on her lips. 

"I love you," he growled aggressively and repeated the words. "I love you. You know that?" 

Adelene giggled. "Think so." She winked. 

Xavier pooled their joined hands together and placed it on his chest before they started walking out of the room together. 

Finding herself in the familiar hallways of the palace Adaline only thought of the bad memories that she had made here. 

Maybe it was time to make good ones and maybe this time she could actually make the ones that would last forever without having any of them separate from each other. 

She heard the deafening crowd. Xavier stopped for a second at the threshold of the balcony before looking at her. He was waiting for her permission to go there. 

She could do this. Adeline knew that she had enough courage to face a shit ton of people and just wave at them. 

She nodded and they stepped into the balcony. Somehow with just one step it seems like everyone knew that Adeline was there. The cheers went louder.

"Wave," he mouthed once they had reached the end of the balcony and where the railings were. 

Adelene raised her hand and waved at them. She looked down to find everyone waving back at her with such happy smiles on their faces that she could not help but wave back again. 

Xavier gave one of his own waves and then nodded firmly at them before stepping back and bringing Adaline into the palace with him. 

"That was fine?" He glanced her way only to see her nod. 

"It's fine." She muttered, still feeling a little high. The crowd was deafening and for a moment, Adeline felt like a superstar. 

"Alright then," he whispered before his eyes went to his father. 

Javier, as if feeling someone's eyes on him, looked back at his son. He addressed everyone with a sigh, "as much as I would like for everyone to know what is going on with all of us, today is not the right time." 

"You should rest for tonight and then we will have dinner together. After that, I want us all to rest again and then tomorrow with rested minds we will continue." 

Adeline didn't mind that. 

At this point, a long rest sounded good to her. Even though the bed in the cabin that they were staying in the north was highly comfortable, the bed in her room was something she loved more. 

When everyone voiced their agreement to that the adults started to move forward and the young couples that were Adaline and Xavier along with Patricia and Augustus walked behind leisurely. 

Was something that Adeline couldn't help but feel tired of, "why do you keep on touching me?' she hissed in frustration. Holding her hand was not enough he kept on touching her leg by brushing his and hers together and leaning in often to kiss her forehead. 

"Well," he chuckled and leaned into her neck and took a long sniff, "I am obsessed with you." 

Patricia chuckled loudly from behind, "you are the human mate the Lycan King's obsessed with!"

Her comment alone made everyone laugh loudly. 

Adeline turned to look at Xavier who watched her laugh with a happy smile over his face. Walking with all of them, Adeline placed her head on his arm as they walked. 

This time, it was going to be alright.
