Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Her head snapped up the moment the door opened and everyone walked out. Her uncle walked out but stood beside them letting everyone leave before he spoke. 

Once he did, he turned around with a grim expression on his face telling Adaline that nothing good was coming out of this.

"Come in with me," he said softly, then look there everyone else, "all of you." 

Ashlynn, Cassandra and Jenna walked in after ambassadors Quill and adaline. 

Xavier and his father were seated inside. The same sports where they had been before. 

"We have decided something," Javier said with a heavy sigh. "Adaline is being targeted time and again and we do not know when the next attack can be and how severe it might turn out."

"We have decided to speed up the coronation and mating ceremony as soon as possible. Hopefully by the end of the week—" 

"By the end of the week?' Casandra gasped. "Do you even know what you're talking about? There is no way that any of these things can be done by the end of the week." 

There were still five days left for the week to be finished but in those 5 days how much work could they get done when they were supposed to get weeks? 

Before Javier could say anything Xavier glared at his mother, "everything needs to be taken up as quickly as possible. I need her in the palace, mated and marked to me." 

Once again her research told her enough to know what he was talking about. 

If she was marked and mated by him, Xavier would be able to sense how close she was and what kind of danger could it be. He could feel what he was feeling and it was a bit like tapping into her mind and Looking through a curtain. 

The sole purpose of this was for security and she could look at the underlying meaning too. He did not trust her enough which is why he was putting some sort of natural tracker on her. 

"People would bend their backs but would it be worth it? We would have to send invitations again and make personal calls so that they all understand—"

"Mother," Xavier cut her off, "A queen is important in every country. I do not need to make any personal calls. They would all understand." 

After a few moments of silence it was Javier that spoke up, "you have to understand it was councilman said today we have to consider educating Adeline on it as soon as possible." Adeline felt the burn in her eyes again. It just didn't stop. 

"Because of which we cannot afford to give high time after today and until the next week for the ceremonies. She will have her tutors sent to the Quill estate." 

"Tutors?" This time Adaline could not keep still. "Tutors for what?" 

"For everything," Jenna answered with a mild admonishing look, "you need to learn a lot. From table manners to matters of the court, there is a lot of ground to be covered."

"Why?" Adeline looked at her uncle. " Why do I need to know about all of that?" 

Cassandra nodded before leaning on the table and placing her hands there. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have to learn so that you can replace Xavier when needed. Not only that, but you will need to learn everything so that he can divide responsibilities just as a king and a queen are supposed to do." 

"Walking shoulder to shoulder is not just in theory." 

Walking shoulder to shoulder was something so beautiful to hear but not when she was not expecting it. From table manners to the matters of court, they had a lot of ground to cover and Adaline was aware about that. 

She had to go from the smallest thing about how to fold a napkin to how to handle people that were going to attack her viciously.

Helpless, her eyes moved to severe who was staring at her without any emotion in his eyes. The king was in session, conducting his court without any biases for his queen. 

After all, It was the queen who had been at fault.

Korr brought her to the house. There were no was exchanged in the car and Adaline could not be more thankful. 

Unlike her aunt, her uncle was not a talker and did not find it necessary to speak more than needed. 

When they arrived, Jenna had subtly hinted on her to go to her bedroom and rest until dinner which was maybe 30 minutes later. 

By the time the dinner Bell rang and she was downstairs her aunt was out of the room and by the looks of it, Teresa knew exactly what was going on.

"Come here," her aunt cooed and Adaline almost flew into her arms. Once there, she felt her aunt caress her hair as she said, "why would you hide something like that adaline? If you are scared You should have told your uncle first." 

Uncle; her aunt dressed her mate as Adaline's uncle. It had been official between them. Their relationship has changed. 

"I don't know." She admitted. "Perhaps I should have told someone as the first thing, and I swear to God I will always regret not doing so."

Jenna and her uncle arrived along with another woman who Adaline had never seen but since it was time for their adaline did not stop around for any unnecessary questioning as the instructions will be made soon. 

Out of habit, she picked up the phone and started to play with it. 

"Ms." Her eyes went to the woman who was looking at her, "you have to take the napkin and like this," she demonstrated, "place it on your lap and please give the cutlery back" 

What? Moving away from the woman who was sitting next to her and Adaline looked at her family members. 

Jenna stayed at Adaline with her chin tilted up in the air, her aunt avoided looking into her eyes, and her uncle glared at the plate in front of him

Understanding the fact that no one was going to stand up because they were in on this adaline nodded and the woman before doing as she told.

Life could change and it could change quicker than anyone could ever notice.
