Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

"What did you do?" He immediately accused her with his eyes narrowed. "Where are they?" He pointed at the empty. There was nothing there.

He won't be surprised If she had been locked it clean.

She smiled innocently and blinked and then tilted her head. "I don't know.." she sang and she him a wide smile that made his heart melt.

Raising his eyebrow he asked again, "You sure about that?"

"Yup!" She cheekily replied. As much as she tried to restrain her smile. She ended up doing the exact opposite.

"By God woman!" He growled playfully, "you ate mine too?"

Laughing that, she replied, "No! I don't have any idea what you are talking about?" She squealed a little too.

"God," He groaned. "I love that you love eating but keep your hands off of my share!"

"I told you not to ignore me!" She immediately defended herself with a little scowl. "You did, again. So I ate everything on your plate." Shrugging, she justified it.

"Yes, thanks for the lesson." In a dry voice, he thanked her back. "Anyway, the bill was put in my account, so let's leave." He gestured towards the empty plates. "unless you want to try something more? Ice cream?"

"Oh no, I'm good." She smiled and got up along with him.

They moved out of the diner and started to walk back. With a full stomach as today, she liked to have a little walk.

She felt his hand sneak in and hold hers. She let him. It felt nice. Content; she felt that whenever she was with him.

She glanced at their joined hands for a second. They fit in perfectly as if made for each other.

She smiled at that.

And he smiled at her. What he won't give just to know what went on in that heart of hers.

On reaching her house, he stopped at the porch.

"Guess, this is it," she gave him a stiff smile as she turned around. "I had fun." She gave a full-blown smile at that making him laugh.

"You ate mine too, I'll be damned if you did not have fun," he teased. "Thank you for today." He kissed her cheek. "Later baby." He winked.

"Bye.." she waved shyly, blushing at him and then turning around hurriedly, she enters the house and close to the door. Leaning her back against it, she breathed heavily and tried to calm herself down.

What was it with him she was always so breathless around him? As if something was pulling them together and every moment that they spent Adeline felt something inside her clawing to go to him. This was not recent this had when happening for a long time and she had just noticed it now.

Did this mean that they were meant to be?

Like soulmates?

Soulmates were rare and if there were a chance where Adaline could have one then she would never let it go. She would hold on to it as tight as she was holding his hand now. She wanted to have the last that her father had for her mother, something so precious and special.

Brushing of the feeling of wanting to go back to him, she moved upstairs and started to prepare for the last exam.

If it were not enough now she had to prepare for a winter ball too.

"I can't believe it!" Cassie growled. "It happened again!" She complained.

"What?" Xavier asked as he entered the house, immediately he went to his mother who looked distressed.

"Someone is eating my gardening!" She wailed.

Ashlynn joined in with a small frown on her face, "Aren't we like predators? Why are you gardening when everyone here just eats meats?"

Gasping outrageously, Cassie growled more and pointed a finger at her. "Don't you like a side of stir fry with your stake, aye Missy?" That had Ashlynn shut up.

"Now," Cassie returned to the topic at hand. "Find out who is eating my vegetables or see what happens."

"Wait what?" Xavier scoffed, "That is not fair."

With a dangerous glint in her eyes, Cassie smiled at him. "What won't be nice is you not getting to eat anything for the next week. Go hunt your food." A warning sign flashed in everyone's mind and they nodded immediately, hurrying out and ready to chase the scent.

"So how's everything with Adeline?" Javier; Xavier's father asked as they walked around the garden.

"Nice." He nodded. "I think it's better since I am honest, at least to a certain level. She can trust me more."

"Ah, that's nice." He stopped and turned to his son. "My father had concerns about your mother running away and gathering up all kinds of scientist to experiment on us. He was scared about us when it came to associating with humans."

"Wait! What's that got to do with me?" He raised his hands as he didn't want to think about what was being said. "She won't do that to us."

He chuckled. "Vouching for her already?" He shook his head. "Don't. I warn you here right now. You don't know what goes on in that mind, for all we know she wants nothing to do with us monsters and is welcoming the money she received for unveiling our existence." He clicked his tongue in annoyance. "I am not saying that my father was afraid, he was rather paranoid and I'll tell you what, that is fair. Be paranoid, trust her too but be beware of what is happening."

She could do that. There was no guarantee of any sorts that she won't go to the FBI the second he told her.

So he nodded, understand where his father was coming from. "Yes, I get that." He was right. He had to be sure that his girlfriend and mate won't out his entire pack and have them all killed like fleas.

He frowned upon when he didn't receive any reply from his father. He turned around and looked around.

His father was not there.

"Dad?" He called out and due to the wolf ears, he replied immediately.

"Yeah?"

"Where are you?" Xavier asked.

"With Ashlyn, I have been walking with her."

Then who was with him?
