Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adeline immediately closed the window where he was but what haunted her was how in a blink he was gone. In a mere blink! 

She opened and closed her eyes again. 

She had stared out of the window and onto the street but he was not there. Somewhere, she had hoped that he would be seen on the ground with a broken leg or an arm. Or perhaps both. She just closed the window and looked at it. 

She was studying on her desk but she was still on the boy she met. The pencil was being played with instead of doing its actual work to write and the notebook was not even opened, instead here to, the boy had occupied her priorities and she was staring at his number.

Uff! boys were just a stupid distraction. She went ahead and threw his number in the dustbin and went to bed. It was around half past eleven and she had decided to wake up at four to study.

Setting the alarms, she prepared for bed and switched off all the lights.

"You look a bit sleepy. Everything okay?" Xavier asked as soon as he saw her in the morning. He could sense her being tired and lethargic because of it. 

"It feels good to know that you notice me that much." She grinned. "But that is low-key creepy too." She informed him dutifully. 

"I don't care creepy. I care about my girl." And there goes her heart. "And it looks like she did not get enough sleep at night."

"I did sleep." She smiled as she answered. His persistent nature seemed nice to deal with. It seemed like he cared. "but I woke up early for exams."

"Exams have weeks to them, my darling." He pulled her closer and then walked joined side to side. 

"They do." She agreed. "But history always repeats itself and this week will fly away and then the exams will follow. So I have to just revise, revise and revise." She chanted and he smiled at that.

"That much amount of revision in such a little brain," grabbing her cheeks, he kissed her lips with loud smooches. "Muah!"

"Stop!" She giggled as she pulled away. "I—stop."

He left her alone and he breathed in and out loudly. "Look at that, you look so much awake right now. Perhaps I should do this every morning." He teased and poured his lips making her giggle. 

"No! Please!" She denied but a giggle escaped out of her while saying so.

"You don't sound sure." He teased and wiggled his fingers near to her whole shuffling closer. "Perhaps a demo.."

As Adeline made a run, the cars honked and they both calmed down and boarded the bus. They had fifteen minutes till the bus arrived at the school and Adeline felt sleepy. So she leaned on Xavier's body and closed her eyes.

He leaned to her side and kept his head on hers, kissing it frequently. Oh, if only he could keep her forever with him. She was perfect. The eyes, the hair, the cute feet she had. She was fine, for sure.

Her rhythmic breathing claimed his heart too. She was his mate. His only and damn the person back to the hell if he wanted to come in-between them.

"How's your preparation?" Adaline asked Xavier in a slightly sleepy voice. 

"Aren't you one little nerd?" He teased. "Why are you concerning yourself with this poor guy?"

"This poor guy is my boyfriend." She kissed his lips. "And you are in your final year of high school. It would decide your career. If all goes well, maybe I could follow you?"

"Follow me?" He repeated. His eyes seem different to her but she ignored them. "I will hold onto you for that." He winked.

"You should," she said as she caressed his cheek. "I want to be with you and if we can make it work, I would love it." She gave tiny smile at the end.

Taking her hand off his cheek, he kissed her palm. "I would love it too." He whispered staring into her eyes with a smile.

"I legit cannot believe where the time went!" Christine whined. "like it was the beginning and now it's the dreaded well before the exams."

"Really? You cannot? It's the same cycle every year Chris." Marshall tsked as he took his books out of the locker. Adeline was standing next to him. They had chemistry together.

"But it's true. Now all I have to focus on is study, study, study and nothing else. I cannot even go to the Sephora sale."

Adeline frowned, "Was that not last month?"

Christine rolled her eyes in return. "Understand the feeling babe. What my heart says."

"Hah," Marshall laughed. "I think that's enough of her understanding your feelings, how about we move to our classes?" He looked at both of them as he closed his locker shut.

"Okay," Adeline agreed and slung her bag on her shoulder from the ground.

"But there were two minutes left," Christine complained. If she could, Christine would have frozen time a long time ago.

"We can go slowly and steadily like a snail if you want." Marshall mocked and then pushed in her classes direction. "Go now. You have P.E. And you do not want to be late for it."

Christine threw one last look in their direction and started walking to her class, muttering things under her breath.

"Ready, my lady?" Marshall asked holding his elbow out.

"Why yes," she giggled a bit and held his elbow, tilting her chin up like a proud lady.

"To the class my lady, I'm afraid the devil of chemistry awaits us." He depended on his voice and added a fake British accent making a laugh more. He was good at acting but the voice was terrible. 

"Lead the way then," she said and they walked forward unaware of the eyes following them and like everyone, she ignored the feeling of someone watching her.
