Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 358 – Her Husband – III

"You may kis—'

Before the priest could even finish his words, Xavier pulled her close and kissed her with so much passion that knees went out. 

Thankfully he had already been holding her waist and held her against him. His hold did not listen and so did his lips that did not part away from her. 

She almost moaned out in pleasure when his tongue found its way in. 

"Hey!" 

Adeline yelped and jumped away only to be brought close by Xavier to his chest. She turned to where the family members were standing and saw her aunt glaring at them with her hands folded in front of her chest. 

"I understand that you are now horny and stuff," she tried to explain and move her hands in different directions, "and also that you're married but I would prefer if you keep it in the bedroom." 

Adaline blushed and ended up shoving her face into his chest. A deep red blush made its way on her cheeks making her shy away and hit his chest when she felt him chuckle and laugh. 

"Well then, everyone," Javier clapped his hands, "as much as I would love to spend the time here and go around town we have to go back. The ceremony needs to be conducted in the shifter realm as well." 

"Could you excuse us for a moment, father?" Xavier looked down at her before looking back at his father, "we need to talk about something." 

What? Curious, she raised her head to look at Xavier and then everyone else who had started to leave. What was it that they had to talk about? 

"What?" 

"Nothing," he sighed and moved down from the small makeshift stage that they had made for the ceremony. 

Even then they were not of the same height but no one was complaining. Holding her waist and touching her skin brought him a little bit of calm that he used to have this conversation. 

"Are you sure you want to go through with this?" He asked. "no one will say anything if you want to.. delay it for some time." 

Delay it? 

Instead of answering him, her eyes wandered around the property. It was not exactly decorated lavishly as everything was in his Palace but in the way she would want. That made it perfect. 

A change to the opinion about everything. Yes, they were rushing into it but the circumstances demanded it and not to mention, her life was at stake and it was just not heard that was going to be affected by it but the entire female population. 

The female population that has finally started to go into heat and started to get pregnant which meant that if she died not only would the females suffer but the children that had not even born yet. 

But that was not something that bothered her at this point.

Standing in front of a priest, with him in front of her as they got married in the way she had always wanted to, only made the fact more concrete that this was what she wanted. 

Yes, not in the way that she was receiving it, but after losing her child, her life and Xavier's brother, this was a lot more that she was receiving than she could ask for. 

"How did you get the property?" 

"I never let it go."

Ah, so the Alpha king, too, held onto things. 

Adaline removed her hands from his shoulders and placed them on his cheeks before pulling his head down.

Kissing his forehead, she mumbled, "I want to get married to you. I want to spend my life with you, Xavier."

"Yeah?" He rasped and she nodded. 

"Yes," she confirmed, "also I don't think that you have a lot of options given that you have my name branded on your back." She gave him a cheeky smile as she pulled away.

Xavier had a soft yet tired smile on his face. Everything happening made him look so old. "No one, if not you adaline." 

Ah, she might end up crying here. Blinking back her eyes repeatedly, Adelene patted his shoulder hurriedly before stepping down from the platform. "Come on," she fumbled with the dress, "everyone is waiting—"

One more time she was twirled around and her lips met with his. She smiled in between the kiss but cannot back out of it. This time she met with head on kissing him with equal passion as he did it before.

And instead of letting him dominate the kiss, she thrusted her tongue inside his mouth and devoured him thoroughly. 

"Fuck," he cursed out as soon as she pulled away. "I can't wait for tonight." He Muttered before leaning down for another kiss and making her laugh loudly. 

She grinned into the kiss before packing hiss check. Everyone was waiting for them and they still had to go. 

****

Getting married soon had turned out to be just a dream because of what happened years ago and what now seems to be like a decade gone and forgotten. 

She was once again in the dress crafted by the shifters for the ceremony where she would be crowned as the queen after being married to the king. Both the ceremonies were going to be conducted in one go which would symbolise her position in the kingdom. 

The dress had fitted her beautifully and everything was colour coordinated. Her hair that had been straightened and was cascading down her back, the eye makeup was done in emerald colour matching the ground that she was going to wear and not to mention how she had to be wearing heels because she was too short from Xavier. 

Once again staring at herself in the mirror that was bigger than the one in her house, she twirled around to look at the gorgeous and extravagant dress. 

Adaline looked beautiful, hell she felt beautiful. 

For the second time she ran her eyes over the detailing and for the second time, she observed each and everything they crafted onto the grass. 

"Love?" The gentle voice of her aunt brought her back to reality and Adaline turned around towards the door where Tessa was standing. 

"It's time," she nodded, with a tearful smile and Adaline felt her own coming in. 

"Are you crying?" She asked a big pathetically before dabbing the corner of her. 

"No," Tessa sniffed and looked away. "I am just pitying you for marrying the same guy twice." 

Laughing at what her aunt said, Adaline nodded.. "I'm ready."
