Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Waking up was easy but the destination was far recognisable. This was not the hospital room that she has stayed in for a long time. This room was where one person stayed and clearly an individual was already residing in it. 

She breathed in loudly and got up to sit straight on the bed. She looked around the room, where was she? 

​​

She gulped. Who\'s bedroom was it? 

The door opened and a woman dressed in white walked was immediately taken aback when she spotted Adeline sitting straight. 

"Oh my god!" She gasped and stepped back but back in, "Stay there! I\'ll be back!"

She moved out and Adeline waited for her comeback obediently. Frankly because she did not have anything to do and the nurse was the only one who was going to tell her about where she was. 

"Hello you," a man walked in along with the nurse and greeted Adeline with a wide smile on his face. " How are you?" 

She nodded her head as she stared at him having no idea who he was. 

"Good, good," he nodded and checked her pulse with a monitor thingy. "That seems. . . fine." He concluded and looked at a few other things. 

He nodded and wrote a few things. "Alright, except for the blood, you look good. I shall leave you to rest." 

Adeline\'s eyes moved to the bandaged part on her wrist. It was red and she did not know if this was blood or not. 

What in the world happened to her? Is anything she had never imagined herself to be someone who would try to take her own life. 

She gulped and gave a tired sigh. What has life come to now? It was completely different from the house she had imagined her next year or even a day to begin with. 

Her lips trembled dangerously as she was on the urge to cry. She could not believe it. This was something that her father never wanted for her and she had done this to herself. 

"I was stronger than this. . . " 

"You were," 

She didn\'t look up, she did not need to know who it was. 

"I know." She concluded. She really knew this but still had no idea what had overcome her to take such a drastic step within a matter of seconds. 

Silence engulfed them and no one cared enough to do anything about it. She hated it. Silence has never been common between them. It was always her talking but now she did not want to talk to him. Too much held her back. 

Adeline bit her lip nervously thinking about what she had to say. His presence was too overbearing. "Do you not have your kingly duties to do?" 

She glanced at him to see him already looking at her. Those impassive eyes, once full with emotions now seem to be empty. 

"I do," he croaked out and she immediately looked up to watch him. His voice sounded weak. "But I am not allowed to." 

And she could clearly see why not. He seems to be weaker than any time she had ever seen him. His eyes and dark circles around there and his cheek had been sucked in. He looked too weak. Even his lips were chapped and dry.

"Oh. ." She said, "So is Cassandra taking care of them?" 

He nodded, sort of as he only shook his head to the side before saying, "I think so. I am not allowed to ask anyone and you do not answer anything that is work related." He shrugged, "I think I have overburdened everyone."

She nodded again simply because she had nothing else to say. What was she say to him? She was never going to fill the silence even when she did not want to. 

The room was filled with silence and it did not make any efforts to fill it. If anything she let it prevail and let him, if he wanted to say something else.

Her eyes moved towards her bandage wrist and she talked about what had happened and everything that had led her to it. If anything he was responsible for it as well because if he had not talked to her that way Ashlynn won\'t have to get up and she wouldn\'t have sent it with the energy she put into it.

At the end of it just as much as it was her fault, it was belonging to Xavier as well.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked her. From there he said it was clear that the wheels in her wheels were turning around and she was really thinking about something. 

"Nothing," she muttered but the words itched to her out of her. There was only so much that she could control and finally she wanted to let go but she was still mindful. She did not want to hurt anyone knowing that she already had. 

"I think we both led Ashylnn to it." 

"Both?" He said in a soft voice as if talking to himself more than talking to her. 

Wow, did he really have to be sarcastic about it. It was clear that it was the fault of both of them that let her dear friend and sister in law in such a situation. How could he try to mock her again?

"Yes!" She hissed at him and he watched her, letting her talk it out. " How could you say that? Of course it is the fault of both of us. Can you ever stop thinking about yourself and then concentrate on what\'s going on around you?" 

His eyes moved from her face to her wrist, "I wish you thought that before you cut your own wrist." He looked at her with sad eyes, making her eyes moist. " What you did right now had its effect on many more people than you know. A lot of people than you know and you have no idea how long it is going to take for you to reverse it. For what is going to happen next I shall take no responsibility for it."
