Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Another case of depression regarding absence of pregnancy walked out of the clinic and Adaline closed her eyes and helplessness. 

This problem was not seizing and people falling into depression much more than they had anticipated because only a fraction was arriving in the clinic. 

​​

It did not help them either that Adeline and Xavier were no longer talking. She did not know what really went wrong but now both of them were simply avoiding talking with each other. 

The driver waited for her outside the establishment and after the day\'s work was finished Adeline moved out and they drove home. 

Sometimes she even felt that there was some kind of wall in between her aunt and her. Her aunt was not calling her or touching her as much as she used to and Adeline used to love her passing over the head or just simply holding her hand. It provided her with so much comfort to know that there was someone who was ready to hold her hand through it all. 

She moved inside the house and spotted her well dressed and sitting on the couch as the waiting for her because her aunt\'s eyes lit up as soon as she saw Adeline. 

"Finally!" She Shrieked, "I have your clothes out on your bed. Go take a bath and put them on and then come down as soon as possible. Okay?" 

Adeline nodded going with the flow, "but why? Are we eating out?" 

Tessa shook her head as she facepalmed herself lightly, "I should have mentioned it before, sorry that was a mistake on my part." She pulled Adeline and patted the flyaways hair, " we have been called by the royal family to have dinner with them. We have exactly 2 hours to go." 

"Two hours a lot of time." 

"Not when it takes more than one or two travel. Hurry up." Tessa clapped her hands together imitating a chop chop gesture which had Adaline climb up the stairs in full speed and get into the shower. 

She didn\'t apply much makeup. Hell she did not even apply the kohl. 

The fact that she had to me Xavier put her in an anxious spot. She did not know if you wanted to go there in the first place. 

Before she even knew where the time then the car stopped in front of the huge gates of the palace and they walked in. 

They were greeted by the sight of Cassandra and Javier who hugged her gaurdians. 

"Hi," she shyly whispered the greeting to Cassandra as she fidgeted with her hands in front her. 

"Hello my darling," Cassandra immediately came to hug Adaline tightly, "you look wonderful." 

"Thank you." She appreciated it and was put in a quick hug by Javier. From there, she could see Xavier who leaned over the railing and watched them all. 

He was watching her and her icematic hairs before she pulled away from both; his eyes and his father\'s hug. 

"Come on, I\'m sure you all are hungry." In Cassandra\'s words, all of them made their way to the dining hall that Adeline remembered what had happened previously in. 

On the way Ashlynn had joined him and she was working two steps behind Adeline like a guard would. Adelene just passed an awkward smile to Ashlynn who perked up at the attention given to her. 

This time the seats had changed. Xavier still sat at the head of the table and his parents sat at either side of him. At the other end was her uncle and on his right was his mate and on the left was Adaline. 

Thankfully she was not in his direct line of sight and neither was he and hers. 

Within a moment of serving, staff arrived and they were served with the first course. Everything went well until his father addressed her. 

"I was told by one of the elders, Preston to be exact, about the long standing myth of the Luna\'s hand and you\'re being able to use it. Is that true Adeline?" 

She was not sure about Luna\'s hand but she was aware of what she had done. "I do not know about the myth being through but I did change something about Ashlynn. It is still very confusing." 

Javier nodded. " It would be because none of you have ever tried to find more about it." He sent a pointed glance to his son. "Ambassador Korr, I am sure that you know that there is a reason behind this dinner." 

Korr nodded, " I am aware, Your Highness." 

Xaviier and Adeline remained silent contributors to the conversation who were playing with the meat soup in front of them. 

"I wanted to send the young couple to the temples in the mountains. If not any books or libraries here then I\'m sure the priests and the people living there could tell them a few things." He took a sip of his water and then continued, "if this myth becomes reality then we would be saving many lives." 

Korr frowned slightly. "What are you talking about?" His eyes moved from Xavier\'s father to Adaline, "why did you not tell me about it?" 

Adeline gulped. "I . . Uh . ." She was aware that she had the attention of everyone in the room, "I. . forgot . ." She whispered out in the end. 

Korr did not look even slightly convinced about it. However the Ambassador was diplomatic enough to not continue the conversation at the dinner table.

He turned his attention to the father of the king, "I have not been made aware of the circumstances. I would love to know more from the perspective of Adaline before continuing and giving my permission to this journey." 

"I understand." Javier nodded, "however this can only be postponed and not avoided." 

"Why is it necessary?" 

Javier glanced at his mate who chipped in, "we were hoping for them to get the blessings of the God and goddesses. Also they would be able to have some time away for themselves." She smiled sweetly at Adeline, "sometimes there are many factors that can contribute and we might not even be aware of them." 

Adeline\'s eyes moved to her plate. No!
