Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

His eyes burned as he opened them. He moved his hand to run his eyes when he felt the restraints. 

Xavier moved his hand again, rather he thugged on it but they did not move. He opened his eyes and the burning sensation did not subside. His assumptions were right: he was chained to the bed. 

He growled slowly before thuggin on at once more which was Harsh enough for the change to rattle and break away from the bed. That was the exact moment when the door opened and his Gamma wolf walked in. 

"This?" Xavier\'s with the raised eyebrow as he raised his arm hai to make the chain have more attention. 

Dylan nodded but did not make a move to unchain the Alpha king. "I apologize for that, however we cannot unchain you."

.

"Why?" The displeasure on Xavier\'s face was visible. 

Then it came back to him. 

"Fuck." 

"I know." Dylan nodded. "It\'s been 2 days since you marked her."

Dread settled in Xavier\'s chest as he realised that it had been two days since she had been unconscious and Adeline had been marked. "Is . . She. . ?" 

"Alive?" Dylan completed. "Yes. She is." He answered. 

"But she is not in the best of conditions yet. The problem is she lost too much blood before we could tackle you down and she has been on a constant drip for the past two days and might have to continue for a day or two more." 

Xavier closed his eyes. "I marked her." 

"It was necessary," Dylan stepped forward, " the doctor told us that Adaline was suffering from severe pneumonia. When you marked her you quickened her healing more than that of a human and if she is alive at the moment that\'s because of the mark you gave her." 

Xavier gave a bitter chuckle to him. His words did not mean anything to him when he knew that he was once again at fault. He had marked Adaline without her permission once again and instead of going up the relationship between them went two levels below because he had forced fully placed his mark on her. 

He has done that without consent. 

Fuck, he fucked it all up. 

Xavier chuckled again but did not move from the bed instead fell down on it. He laid there with his hand under his head and the other one on his chest as he stared up at the ceiling. 

He ruined it all once again.

*******

Xavier had to stop talking and Dylan had to leave the room eventually and move to the other patient. That patient was Augustus. 

"How are you?" Dylan asked with a tilt of his chin. "I heard that you have recovered quietly. The blow to your head must have been heavy enough to knock you out." 

Augustus winced Slightly, "I hate that you have to take care of all of this mess alone. Don\'t you worry, I\'ll bounce back into my duties in no time." 

Dylan huffed, "Fuck off, focus on healing properly first. I will have more chances for you when you come back." 

"Tell me what you know," Augustus asked with a firm expression on his face. The beta was in session. 

Dylan gave it a small thought on what he had to say. So far he knew nothing and all he was focusing on was getting his back back together and making sure that there were no attacks on them. 

It was his warrior brain that was focusing on the practical aspects. He did not go behind what was in the forest of what caused it rather made sure to strengthen the defences of the pack. 

"I don\'t know," he admitted. 

"Nothing?" Augustus looked taken aback. "did you not scout the forest or try to find out what it was behind it all?" 

Dylan shook his head. "The defences were pretty much broken. The beta and Alpha couple were both in bed. What do you expect me to do? I had them straighten the differences rather than going after something that we might not find." 

Augustus clicked his tongue in annoyance. " Dylan, what do you think will happen now? Whatever it was in the forest must have gone away by now. It has been days since I knew what had happened! There is no chance for any of us to find out now what was the reason or who was behind it." He snapped. Damn it all, no one would know now. 

Dylan gave him an unconcerned shrug at the end. "I have not been prepared to handle the matters as you have. What I care about are the defences of the pack and how we defend ourselves against the attacks made on us. That is exactly what I did in this situation." 

As the gamma lycan and someone who commanded the king\'s army it was in his blood to handle the warriors and defences of the pack. Attack was second nature for him but so was defending. 

He had to choose between the two and he had chosen defence. 

"Whatever it was," Dylan began, "had enough strength to put both of you in trouble. Troubles that you cannot escape and my natural reaction to it was to protect all of us first before attacking them." 

Augustus stared at him before nodding. He understood the point made by the warrior wolf. "Is the Alpha awake?"

Dylan answered immediately, "He is. I just came from his room but the problem is that he marked Adeline without her consent." 

"What?!" Augustus facepalmed, not being able to think of anything else to do. "Shit. Why?!" 

"They had fallen into the lake. She got hyperthermia and she currently has pneumonia. She was not marked by him, we won\'t have her amongst us at the moment." Dylan said point bank not thinking of hiding any information from the beta lycan. "The problem is, I think they\'ll go back." 

Augustus narrowed his eyes. That was the last of what they needed. "This time it won\'t." He vowed. This time he would go to the rjght person.
