Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline felt confident today and it was a different type of confidence. Her eyes looked sharp as she made a sharp wing eyeliner. The lip tint had made her lips look slightly dark from the usual pale pink shelf. 

Even though she had not done much, anyone could say that she looked rather bold and even she felt attractive by herself. 

​​

Jenna was right. She did not need a small dress for this. 

"I\'m ready." She grinned at the sight of her in the mirror. The old Adaline was going to make an appearance today. 

Elizabeth smiled wide at the site of a friend before coming to a stop as she was walking towards her. 

"Adeline?" She whispered in shock at the sight of a friend who was smiling back at her.

"Hello," Adeline grinned, "how are you today Elizabeth?" 

"Go-good," Beth cleared her throat and answered her friend. "Are you okay though? What\'s with the sudden change?" 

Adeline shrugged. "I just felt like it." She grabbed Elizabeth\'s elbow and made her way inside the building of the school to start their day. 

She closed her books and laid her head on them. She really thought this method would work for some kind of transfer of information. The tutor was helping but there was only so much that she could help about. Also the process was extremely slow. 

She sighed and looked at Elizabeth\'s grinning face. "What?" Adeline asked as she raised an eyebrow. 

"It\'s lunchtime." Beth grinned and packed her bag as they made their way to the lunch hall. " Adeline, do you remember Patricia?" 

Adeline nodded. "Patty, I remember." 

"She\'s in today. Wanna invite her to sit with us?" Beth pointed to the girl who was already standing in the line along with Augustus. 

Adeline narrowed her eyes as she smiled slowly. Yes, she could do that. In fact Adeline could do better than that. 

She knew what was going to happen when they were at the lunch table. Elizabeth and admin joined the lunch line and with their trace the joint Patricia on a lunch table. It was Adaline on one side and Patricia and Beth sitting on the other. 

And just as Adaline had thought Patricia and Elizabeth were looking at something behind her. 

The boys, they were looking at the boys. 

Adeline hid her smile. 

"Guys," she whispered innocently to her friends, "do you want to sit with them?" She offered. 

If the girls were shocked that was just an understatement because from the look on their faces it had completely thrown them off track. 

"What?" Patricia whispered. "Are you sure okay to sit with them?" 

Patricia did not say no so that was something. Adaline shook her head, "Well you would continue talking to me, won\'t you"? 

Patricia nodded frantically, "yes, yes, of course I would." 

Adeline smiled and picked up her lunch tray, "I guess we can go then." 

The girls followed her as she direct event and address Augustus completely ignoring Xavier who sat at the head chair. 

"Hi," she smiled at Augustus, "do you mind if we three sit with you?" 

Augustus\'s eyes widened a bit and he gave Xavier\'s a glance who was looking at his plate. "Uh . .sure?" He answered certainly as you once again glanced at his Alpha who was busy looking at his plate.

"Please, do, Adeline." He said again but this time in a firm voice as he and two other boys stood up to get adaline and the other two girls chest. She received a spot next to Xavier on his right and Patricia and Elizabeth sat next to their mates. 

"Hi Dylan!" Adeline greeted Dylan. 

"Good afternoon Adeline," he smiled, "do you like your lunch?"

She glanced at her tray. The only thing that differentiate her tray from the others on this table was the meat. She had more fruits on her plate as compared to the others who had piles of meat on them. 

"I love the fruits." She praises, a little guilty of her own biases. 

They all settled into an awkward silence. Adeline confidently ate food with her back straight as if the silence did not affect her. Like she had seen genre dine in the past few days she kept her back straight and focused on his food while chewing silently. Manners were a part of confidence. 

"Hey guys!" A firm yet to be voiced to everyone\'s attention. "I am turning 18 on this Saturday, would you like to come?" Here\'s to The bright smile on his face as he waved around the tickets. 

Invitation only? 

Augusths and everyone knew that they were going to say no. It was obvious that they did not get much relaxation from the work of the palace to actually go out and party and even if they did they were not going out with strangers. 

"Sure!" Adelen smiled widely and extended her hand. The boy happily placed an invitation on her palm. If she was sitting with this law then she was pretty important too. 

"Is everything—" Adeline glanced at the paper once to show that everything she needed for Saturday was written there, "yeah it is! Thank you and Happy Birthday in advance!" 

The boy grinned, "thanks girl." He winked before stepping back. 

"Stop," Xavier placed his cutlery down in a pause motion on the plate and looked at the boy, "Give it to me too." 

Augustus glands between all three of them before turning to the boy himself. "Ethan, why don\'t you expect us all on your birthday? He will be there with our mates." 

That was enough said for the boy to place everyone\'s ticket on the table before walking away thanking everyone. It was once in a blue moon that royalty attended birthday parties and it was going to be his! 

Adeline looked down at her plate hiding her smile in her hand. The plan was executed just fine. Also, Ethan\'s birthday could not come at a better time for her.
