Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

She felt her feet aching which made her frown because no one would ever let her stand on her two feet so they had to be no reason for them to pain. Slightly rubbed the soles together and found once more when she felt dirt and roughness on it.

What had happened?

​​

"I think you are awake."

She gasped and jumped to sit in an upright position. "What are you doing here!" She screamed at the boy who was her neighbour. "Get out of my room!" She pointed to the door.

When Xavier had lived next door, Adeline had always left the windows opened and the curtains apart but when he shifted and a new neighbour came she had the curtains pulled together and often, her window was closed. The mortifying incident was only for her boyfriend if it were ever to be repeated.

He sighed and tsked and snapped his fingers. "What happened last night? Wolves . . . lycans . . ?" He made some hand gestures and she stared at him.

What the hell— It clicked.

Her hands immediately went to her head as she gasped. \'Oh god, how could I have possibly forgotten anything about that? Oh god. .\' She closed her eyes as she thought about it. It was a night she would always remember so how was it that she could forget about it even for a second.

She could see the beast of Ashlynn whenever she closed her eyes.

He watched her panic. Her eyes darted around the room as she collected the fragments of last night\'s little \'adventure\' and he enjoyed every moment of it. The little human was afraid and her little heart pounded wildly. It gave him immense happiness. After the incident of finding out away, this was the best thing.

The first part of the whole plan was done. Adaline has been made aware of what she had been hidden from and now, he would let her go crazy.

"I do not understand Adeline." She looked at him and he continued, "Mates, Lycans, only get one mate for their entire lives whereas wolves at times receive second chance mate. So why would he not tell you the truth and sleep with you? He practically completed half of the mating process." He subtly pointed out for her to think and think she did. "I mean, that\'s trapping you with me and not to forget, you are his only chance of happiness."

Her words struck a chord. "I did. .," She realised, "Wait, if I am mated, what do I do now? Like I don\'t want to be a wolf! Or a lycan!" She protested. She had no will to change into something so horrifying.

She had forgotten everything that he had told her yesterday. But at least this time she was more awake and that could surely work in his favour.

And as for the mark, it had already been removed. With that gone, it was a smooth slope.

"Adeline," he took a seat at the edge of her bed. "you are halfway through to being bound to him for your entire life. The only thing you have as leverage is that he has not marked you yet and he cannot do that until he tells you the truth."

Adeline nodded, she got that nicely. "And he probably won\'t tell me this anytime soon." She concluded and Noah nodded.

"Yes, he won\'t. Because if he does he has to be sure that you would that not run away or report him to the government."

Yes, true. True, she could do that as well.

"Now what do I do?" She asked him. She had no idea how to proceed in this situation and he seemed to know more than anyone else. So, he could help her way out.

"What\'s going to happen?" She was human and like any other, the feeling of the unknown scared her too. The situation was something she had never imagined herself to be in.

He shrugged as if it was pretty much laid out for her already. "Now you will wait until he marks you and then wherever he goes you go because at the end of the day he is an alpha and you are the submissive mate."

"Submissive?" She launched up her nose. Why was she the submissive one? Why could he not be that?

He nodded. "Yes, that is nature\'s way. He is an alpha Lycan by nature; dominant and commanding. Whereas you will be kind and loving which actually, you are by nature." He informed her dutifully. "Alpha\'s need a mate in opposite to them. So he is a brooding male and you would be the one with all smiles. Opposites attract, I guess."

She was. People told had told her that time and again and now it was not working in her favour. 

"I don\'t want to be marked." She muttered her eyes cast down as she tried to get a grip on the whole situation. A situation when she had just come to know that the supernatural existed and her boyfriend was one too.

Should she confront him? Part of her wanted to get it over with by asking her the truth but that every part of her could also see her being torn apart.

A situation where she was so close to being tied down to all of the circus show and there was nothing that she could do to prevent it. This was the worst thing ever.

So she stared at the only person who could help her out. "I don\'t want to be forced into any of this and I don\'t want to be mated anymore because that was practically a lie. So Noah please tell me what to do." She pleaded. She felt like crying. The situation had left her cornered to think sides and she could not pick one no matter how hard she thought about it. The fear of them killing her for knowing any of this was surpassing everything else. 

There was nothing else that she could do because according to whatever she had heard and seen last night they were far more powerful than her and it would only take a second for them to rip her apart and throw her into opposite directions.

She was nothing here. It was obvious that she had to leave while she could.

Noah sighed and looked out. "I don\'t know. I one who live DME is dead so I am alienated. They don\'t look at me and I don\'t look at them but yours is alive, I can\'t expect you to just . . Get up and go." He shrugged looking lost himself. "What if in the coming days, he tells you the truth. Would you accept him?"

Should she? He had lied to him after all. At the end of the day, she had no idea who truly was and which species did he belong to. But she loved him. He had taken care of her. He had been gentle, understanding and not at all arrogant in this relationship. 

She had been deceived and he had taken something so intimate from her without informing her of the truth. He had no right to have sex with her if he could even tell her the truth to begin with. He had taken the next step without letting her know that he was something completely different from what she knew. 

So no, even if days from now or hours later, he told her the truth she would not accept him. He was late and he should have thigh about it earlier. 

"No." She answered and shook her head. "I won\'t."

He nodded and smiled a bit. "Then I guess we wait for a window. Something that could take you and your father out of the twin and the state."

That was a long shot. There was no certainty that window would ever arrive and she would have the opportunity to take it along with her father because she was not leaving him behind.

"But. . . that\'s too uncertain. There\'s no guarantee the window would ever arrive."

He looked tired by now. She knew that she had gotten into a situation where he should have shown no concern because Adeline was no one to him but he was still trying to help her and she was grateful to him for that.

"I don\'t know. After my lover\'s death, I just stayed here. So I am not sure what to do." He honestly confessed and she nodded in understanding. "All I can say is, whenever he might not be in the town of just. . . A chance to move out of the city would come, you should take it. But not in a hurry." 

It was too confusing and scary, she understood that. They had to tread lightly and carefully. 

"I\'ll get going now." He yawned. "I had to make sure that you were okay."

She nodded and gave a small wave to bye to him. "Thank you." She said. She wondered if anything she was going was right?
