Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

This time instead of barging into his parent's room he stood at the door and knocked. The previous escapade had left his mind a bit scared because of which now he was ready to take precautions. His mother whispered come in and he opened the door, closing it shut behind him, took a seat at the foot of the bed and she sat with her back leaning against the headboard of it.

"What is the problem baby?" She asked, her eyes were still on the book. He sighed falling back onto the bed using her legs as a pillow for his head.

"Uncle Nick called us to his study today and he said that we both should run for the king and see which one is more of a better choice." He grumbled irritated. Xavier, by nature, was more irritable than anyone else but whenever he was with his mother or his mate he felt himself being calmed down and his beast was at peace. Right now, being with his mother was the only highlight of the day.

"I know." Which he had figured out since his mother had remained calm instead of going off like a cannon. "I am thankful for the fact that he thought of talking to us before talking to you guys." She revealed taking him by surprise.

"Wait what?" He turned to look at her in an instant with accusing eyes. "You gave him the go-to, to include me in all of this! You do know that this is a betrayal to the further king; Alexander!" Of course, it was. It was expected that Alexander was to be the king and Xavier was going to be the best adviser he would ever have but if he chooses to run in the competition for the throne it was obvious that he was challenging his brother and the future king.

Cassandra shook her head. "I know for a fact that you will never do that your brother because this is always been something decided for the both of you. Which is why your father, I and your uncle thought of something else that would give you both an equal chance without having to feel betrayed to anyone." She explained.

When she had raised her little boys she had always made sure that they have the feeling of harmony and belongingness with each other because they were the only ones that would remain with each other after their parents had passed away. With the morals that Xavier had towards his eldest brother, Cassandra knew that she had achieved her goal.

Xavier shook his head. Everyone knew from the beginning that Alexander as the firstborn child was going to be the king. It did not make any sense to him to conduct a series of tests at the end of the journey to find out which one of them was better.

"We are so close to having Alexander as the crowned prince of the kingdom. You cannot have that taken away from him." He shook his head. Here he was going to be adamant. No one was going to take this opportunity away from his brother.

Cassandra sighed and shook her head. Conversations with her youngest son were never easy. He was the most adamant and stubborn boy she had ever met and the only time he was ready to listen was with Adaline. "It had never been decided that which one of you would be the crowned king. It was just that one of you would be. You and Alexander assumed that it would be the elder brother just like with your uncle and your father and we never went against that because that was the first choice initially." She smiled at him, "Now that we go back and think about it we should have always told you guys that the fittest will survive." She held up a finger, reminding me of the past, "That is the rule of nature. If you remember that was the very first thing your father taught you."

His mother was always his truest friend which is why he did not think twice before revealing had what he thought about the whole situation. "When uncle Nick asked me about the whole ordeal do the next king and him wanting me to participate in it, I could not help but think about the situation as giving a whole kingdom to rule. The whole shape-shifting and supernatural species would be bowing down to her, my mate, their human queen."

"What is it that is stopping you?" She whispered, understanding where it was going.

He looked to the ceiling as he laid on his back. "What if she does not want it? What if she wants a quiet life in a remote corner of the world in the middle of nowhere or the mountains or near the beach?" He sighed and closed his eyes. "I want to give her what she wants. A happy life."

Cassandra smiled but the words she said next, she knew were the bitter truth. "Maybe she would be the one who would know the best about what she wants. How about you take this as a sign, to tell the truth about us all?"

Xavier turned to look at his mother and so that whatever she said was all in serious of the situation. He nodded, maybe they could not be any better sign than this.

*********

The first day of school was supposed to be tomorrow and Adaline could not find a better day to go for a checkup. They had been chatting continuously on the phone and texting each other throughout the day. Even though she had been told to stay away from him it was her heart that always went towards Xavier.

No matter how much she tried to resist it was always some kind of string-pulling her back and she was now sure that it was the mate bond.

Sometimes she wished that she did not know, that somehow she could go back in time and never go on that stupid adventure and love Xavier with all her heart, her stupid heart. 

For the past two to three days, they had not come to her because his uncle had broken his hip bone and he lived in a remote place where there was not much medical help was given.

Adeline had decided that there could not be a more perfect day than today to go for a check-up at the gynaecologist.

She walked into the establishment that was for a sexual checkup clinic run by an NGO. Here she knew that her father would never bring her for a check-up so she would never have history come up.

"Hi," she said to the receptionist. "I am Adaline and I have an appointment."

"Just a second." The nurse mumbles with a smile as she flicked on a few buttons on the keyboard and then turned to Adeline. "Yes, you have an appointment in the next ten minutes. Please take a seat and I will get back to you when the doctor is free." The nurse miles to Adaline and she nodded taking a seat in the waiting room.

Perhaps this was the first time that she had been so nervous. The wait was killing her as she ran her sweaty hands on her Jean cladded thighs.

Wait a minute! She suddenly started in the chair making the nurse glance at her for a second.

Nova has time and again told her that this was a close-knit community and everyone you everyone especially the Rivera family. How much it comes to a clinic without making a show that there would be no supernatural doctor involved?

She had not at all thought about that!

But she was already here and if she left now then the only option will be to go to either a public institution or the private one. Both of which is if she ever visited would have history come along with their last medical visit and somehow her father would know.

Of course, you would not talk about having sexual relations with someone but he did not know that someone was a guy sprouting for any time he wanted.

Shit, how could I not think about it, she thought. There could be a possibility that they had human doctors employed to make it seem more normal to the general public. Which seemed a little impossible to happen but she could not think of that as an actual possibility.

And now she has to take the chance. Or maybe she could just get up and leave—

"Adeline Woods!" The nurse called all of a sudden making her jump up. "Dr Shanya is ready for you."

Well then, nothing could be done now because the opportunity to know whether she was pregnant or not was right in front of her and now she did not want to turn back.

She nodded to herself and stood up.

It was go time for her.
