Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

"More like boring," she complained, looking across the window, into his bedroom where he sat across her.

"Why? You had to shop." He laughed and as he eventually stopped, he had a stupid smile on his face. If only his cousins and saw him now.

"I did but she dragged me to every store that had interesting dresses on their mannequins! Well, guess what, mannequins are always dressed to impress!" She told him. "And god forbid if you touch anything sparkly but you know what? I like sparkly!"

"You bought some sparkly shit, didn't you?" He said it was pretty obvious, he thought and she had just done that.

"Yes! Of course, I did but not all the top glittery, it's just the sleeves. Thought I'd spare her the horror to cause a heart attack."

"Wow, thank you. I'm sure my brother would appreciate that." He mocked his thanks to her.

"Oh, well, to mention it, I like to do things for lowly people."

"What are you? A Goddess?" He scoffed with a silly smile on his face.

"Finally, someone recognised me." Her voice was dropped with appreciation as she flipped her hair back. "Now, come and wash my feet."

He raised his eyebrows at that. Cheeky lil' thing. "Yes, why not? It's 11 pm, open the door and I'll wash and drink the water after washing your feet, that is, if your father doesn't wake up from the bell."

Realising that she had been caged into a corner she deadpanned, "You win, bitch."

***********

The game was after school and because of that, they were having a half day. Xavier did come to school with her but he didn't attend any classes. The coach gave them the motivation to succeed as Ashlynn had told her.

"Wait and he didn't say anything?" Ashlynn didn't like the idea of him not responding to this.

"Yes. He said that it's fine if I didn't wear his jersey." She shrugged not thinking much into it.

Wow! Ashlynn thought. This was serious, a wolf would have made sure she did wear his jersey and talking about a Lycan was way far.

"Are you gonna go home to change now?" Adeline asked her.

"Yes, come on." She immediately understood what she meant. Tagging her along they both walked home.

Ashlynn could not understand what was going on in Xavier's mind. A person could change but the primal needs and instinct often remained the same, he, on the other hand, seemed to be disregarding the very facts.

They waved when they reached the houses. Adeline opened the door and shut it quietly.

"Hey,"

"Ah!" She screamed and jumped. "What's the matter with you?" She yelled at her father who scared her.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down, I didn't mean to scare you." Jason came a bit closer and held her shoulders and tried to calm her down.

"Okay," she said, moving to sit on the sofa and talk with him. "How are you early?" It was rare for him to be home when she came from school and it was not a holiday. 

"Well, I came in the early hours while you were sleeping and we had completed the work last night so we took the day off." He was talking from the kitchen to her, warming up the food for her and served her to the dining table as Adeline followed. 

"Ooh, pasta." She wiggled in her chair as she took the first bite.

"I enjoyed the chicken. Were you okay at their house without me, kid?"

"Yeah." She mumbled and nodded as she chewed.

"And the baseball thing is today too?" He ran a hand through his hair. Jason seemed nervous.

"Yeah, tough is football. You kick the ball not hit it with a bat."

"Aye, cheeky girl." He pulled her cheek. "Listen, I know that you're intelligent and smart but don't take anything from a boy, okay? You're new here and back at Sylwester, James would've helped you out but here I'm not sure."

She smiled. The concerns he had were normal for a parent. "Yes. I promise I won't take anything for anyone that I don't know."

"That's great, kid." He patted her head with love. "Dress nicely, okay?"

Adeline nodded and continued eating as Jason went to the kitchen and placed everything back and cleaned up. She did her dishes and went up for a shower.

She came out in her bathrobe and went to her closet. Black jeans, undergarments and top. She ahead and changed into it. Also did a little makeup.

She went downstairs as the time neared and said bye to her dad. Ashlynn was out and they both were going out together.

"Ready? It's going to be very, very crowded." She warned. Wolves and humans and wolves weren't a great idea.

"Yeah." She smiled. For her, Wolves were the least of her concerns they didn't exist in the list.
