Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Xavier was calm. After he listened to her, he realised what an idiot he had been. He watched her back as she walked away, climbed into the bus and then the bus drove away.

Away from him.

​​

Apart from him.

"Look man," Shaun, a fucking dumbass in his opinion said, "it usually works." He offered an unconfident smile.

Xavier turned around, dropped his bag and glared as he muttered, "does it? Cause right now, it fucking backfired. Your piece of shit!" He growled letting his beast take over almost.

Shaun immediately raised his hands in surrender. "Look man, I am sorry. Hell, If you want then I can talk to her!"

That did the trick.

This puny shit would talk to his mate? His Adeline?!

"You would talk to my girl?" He growled out. His words were barely understood and everyone who was supernatural knew that his beast was surfacing in front of everyone.

Grabbing Shaun\'s collar, he spat the words in his face. "You will talk to my girl? After you, m*otherfucker, ruined it for me, you have the guts to?" His words might be low in volume but they were causing the effects of a loins roar.

Shaun was shaking.

Xavier pulled his arm back and landed a punch on Shaun\'s gut to which the boy immediately jumped up from the blow. Cupping his nose he fell after everyone heard the snap of his nose.

Xavier pulled him up with his collar and growled into his face, "I warned you that this would happen but you fucking guaranteed it, didn\'t you? Remember?" He sneered. "Cuz\' I do and I know that you said so."

He punched Shaun\'s face again but this time he didn\'t hold him which made the boy fall.

"This," Xavier kicked his ribs in frustration and none of his friends stopped him, "will teach you to keep your legs to yourself. Don\'t talk yourself into others relationships!" He gave another storing kick which made the boy move an inch. "To keep your leg out of where it doesn\'t belong!"

He kicked Shaun\'s kneecap, without any mercy he continued his assault. Everyone knew better, so they either stood and watched or they just left.

"Xavier," Augustine held him back along with Dante, "come on, let\'s go."

"Where?" he barked out. "He made me fuck my relationship with my mate! Where the hell am I supposed to go?"

He had fucked it up. He had fucked everything up! She had ended the relationship. Shaun had not whispered anything but asked him to laugh while looking at her. He didn\'t want to, not realising that he would have made her feel more insecure about herself.

But he did because he thought nothing of it when he should have.

He should have thought. Period.

*******

He was staring at her home with an expression of longing. She was there. He could smell her and hear her heartbeats from inside. Not only that, but he could also hear what she was doing.

She was scribbling away which meant that she was fine and fit enough to study with complete concentration because he could hear her mumble the words that she wrote and that brought a smile to his face. 

Sniffing, he knew that she was not sad. But that was for now. The bond would take a toll on her soon and then it would be tough for her. But to think about it, she may forgive him then. Quicker than she should now. Which made him want to take advantage of the situation which was pointing in his direction. He wanted to law advantage but his conscience did not allow him to cheat on her. 

Also, his mate was a little nerd. She would want to study for the midterms without any hassles like this. So he would leave her alone, till she wanted, till she felt what he felt for her.

The protectiveness, the love and the obsession. Everything that he felt and he knew what she would feel too once she would know who he was and his mark would be upon her neck, tall and proud. 

Walking into his house he was immediately greeted by his mother\'s cooking. Earlier he used to smell it from afar but now, he wondered how things had changed.

When he entered his lane he would sniff for Adeline.

"Hey," Casey smiled at him. "I made your favourite tonight."

Walking to his mum, he hugged her, "Thanks mum," kissing her cheek he continued, "I love you."

"Aww, I love you too." Casey immediately smiled and looked at him. She then frowned and her smile dipped. "What happened baby?" She could really at he was sad and something had happened. She could smell it as well, not as much as the Lycan\'s could but she could make it out. 

"I messed up," he confessed immediately. "but I will fix it." He vowed with sincerity in his eyes. 

"Well, if you know that you messed up and you are ready to fix it then that is all that matters." Casey went back to cooking with a small smile on her face. At least the moral given to him were still there today. 

Xavier continued to sit there silently on the kitchen counter, thinking about what she had said.

What if he couldn\'t fix it? Humans often moved on instead of clinging onto one person and who was to say that Adeline won\'t do so too? She could be texting someone right now or as Ashlynn said for the modern world, liking another person picture on social media and fangirling.

"Mom," he whispered knowing that she could hear him. "What if things can\'t be fixed?" His heart stilled at the thought. What if, the dangerous words were dancing in his mind. 

Cassey stilled for a moment but then continued to cook. She wondered what he had done for him to ask him that.

"What did you do?" She sang her words to him trying to keep the atmosphere light. "And how bad do you think it is?"

"I. . . very bad." He answered as he recalled the incident. "It\'s bad, I don\'t know what effect it had on her but it\'s like ripping my soul apart." He choked as tears came to his eyes. The pain was too much to bear. The separation for him was taking effect for him already. 

Casey\'s motherhood begged her to turn around and comfort her child but the woman in her knew that she would not always be there for him and she has to let him work things out.

"The mate bond will affect her eventually." She commented being diplomatic so that he could think through. "But if it happened to me, then I would hate to suffer for something that is bound to happen."

Xavier lowered his head a bit. The bond was bound to bring them together and it would affect the health of both of them and as much as easy he wanted it to be, he knew that he would be cruel to let her go through such pain.

He had to give in and beg her to sit that she would be safe and fit. 

Shaking his head silently, he walked to his room and sat on the corner of his bed. From here, he could peek at Adeline and she won\'t know.

So here he was, peeking at the love of his life like a fucking creep.

"Hey," his father; Javier knocked on the door. "Heard what happened." Of course, he did. They could hear everything that had happened in the lane or even around the city easily. 

"You were home?" He mumbled glancing once at his father and then back at his mate. His focus remained on her. 

"Yes, I was and I still am." He said with a sigh as he sat down next to his son. "What\'s up? And for fuck\'s sake do not be a creep." In the end, Javier had gotten up and walked to the window and closed it very softly as not to Alarm the girl.

Xavier\'s heart dropped a little and he looked away as the window closed. "I am not a creep." He grumbled.

"Ah, look at that. Since his mate is out of sight, the grumbling boy is back." Javier teased. "Maybe she should live with us. It would make you talk better with us."

"Stop," he groaned and fell on the bed, lying down halfway. She was away and she could be sick for all he knew. He had to keep an eye on her. 

"About your mate," his father started and had gained his complete attention. "Have you thought the effect on her?" He asked. "Because it is going to be soon and she has no idea about how to handle it."

Xavier blew some air out. "Every fucking minute that has passed, I have been thinking about it." He said, "I am worried that she won\'t be able to make it."

"That won\'t happen," his father said as he vowed, "we won\'t ever let that happen." He vowed. Adeline won\'t be going anywhere.
