Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Latin.

The last class of the day was Latin and she had it with Xavier, who again was sitting behind her and playing with her hair. Adeline wondered how could he pay attention to the front where the teacher was teaching and playing with her hair. 

It was so relaxing. And she needed this in maths and there he was unavailable. He continued to play with her hair and she let him, it felt nice.

"Okay, now let's get to the main topic that I want to cover." Ms Lopez said. "I always give this option to my students. The topic that you will have to work on is an essay that covers the histories of the country and how we reached here. I want that by mid-term so that I can calculate your grade and give you your share of warning."

"My point of telling you this is, you have the option to start; early, or three weeks before midterms like it's supposed to happen but language takes time and effort. Which one is it going to be?"

"Early!"

"On time, please!'

"Don't give any!!'

Adeline had answered the first one but she laughed as students said none at all. Ah, the student spirit for education.

She leaned back as Xavier immediately held a strand of her hair and started playing with it.

"Al—"

*Rinnnngggggg

As soon as the bell rang, everyone packed Their bags and was ready to leave.

"I'll announce everything tomorrow. Remember to revise!" Ms Lopez hurriedly yelled as the herd of kids ran out.

Adeline was leisurely packed her bag. Xavier was all set but continued to sit as he waited for her. As soon as the rush hour was over and there no pushing and shoving, he got up and held out his hand. Packing the last of the things she had, she slung the bag over her shoulder and took his hand. They walked out hand in hand.

His had gave her comfort. The warmth that it gave her was something she knew she secretly craved. She wanted to lean on to him for more. Would be mind ut? Maybe not now.

She spotted her friends standing at the door. "Hi Elizabeth, Marshall and Christine, bye!" Adeline cutely said and waved.They laughed a bit and waved back. She was so cute.

"Do you want to walk today?" He asked as they stopped in front of the bus stop. 

A cringed her nose at that. That walk would be too long. "No, it takes a long time. And I don't have that long time."

He huffed. "There's an ice cream store ahead, I might buy you one." He bribed and her eyes sparkled. He hit the spot. 

"One? If I am walking I am eating two." She immediately objected. "Buy me or I go bus." She titled her head to him and he melted. 

"Fine. Come on," he took her hand and dragged her along with him, gently. 

Adeline thought of it again. She looked up and peeked at him. Xavier sensed it but he didn't look back at her. It was the bond. Nature was forcing its way through and affect her feelings for him. He knew but he couldn't do anything about it. Telling her when she hadn't even settled in would have her running for the hills.

She would never understand and he didn't want to take that chance. So it was decided. He would not tell her until the odds favoured him.

"Hey," Adeline tugged on his and he looked at her. She was frowning a bit. How cute, his mate wanted his attention, well it belonged to her.

"There's the ice-cream store ." She pointed making him frown. "Come on, get the money out." She rubbed her index and middle fingers together as she asked him to pay.

"Fine," he drawled out with a sigh. Giving her a intimidating look, he said, "I remember. Which one do you want?" She was not in the least bit affected. 

"Cookie dough." She said with an excited smile. "And in a cup if possible, it's less messy."

"Alright, come sit inside while I order." He took her with him. Whenever she was at his side everything just seemed okay, better automatically.

Adeline took a seat as he went to order. It was free ice cream, so she couldn't say no to her boyfriend who wanted to walk. While she was ordering she saw a kid who could not hold his spoon because of his slippery hands which only made her laugh. 

She moved and gave him a few tissues and cleaned his hands. "My mommy went to the washroom." The grumbled and she laughed, moving back to her own seat. 

"Hey," she smiled as she saw him coming to her but faltered a little when she saw two cones in his hands. "The cups have not been available since yesterday. So the ones would have to do." He smiled sympathetically. He had promised her ice cream but was unable to fulfil the other requirement she had. His alpha nature was unfulfilled. 

"That's okay," she replied. "It's even. I mean, I can eat the come so it's a win-win."

Taking her cone from him, they walked out of the shop and continued walking not before taking her share of tissues. Taking in a deep breath, she leaned her head on the arm she held. She tried not to make it obvious. 

"How's the dough?"

"Yum," she answered. "So you're not going to do that again tight?' she asked being hopeful that his answer would be no.

"What did I do?" She heard and glanced at him. He seemed pretty unaware. 

"The cafeteria incident. You don't come again right?" She asked.

"Wait what?" He stopped and she turned around to look at him. "Why won't I?" He chuckled. 

"Because I want to sit with my friends too. You can sit with your friends and me with mine. We can't always be together, we have to have friends and hang out with them too!" She argued. She had seen her friends drift away only to have their hearts broken. So maintaining a relationship with both seemed to be a good idea. 

He shook his head, frowning at her. "No, we don't. Sure we can sit with them occasionally and we have to spend time with each other too."

"We do yes. But what I am saying is, not always. We can have days deciding when we sit with whom." She suggested.

Xavier felt angry at that. So she wanted to decide days that she would sit with him and her friends that meant her priorities regarding him as her boyfriend and her friends were on the same level? He was just as important as her friends nothing special.

"No," he growled holding her arms letting his beast take over for a second. "You are my girlfriend Adeline, you can't just toss me away!"

"I am not!" She denied. This was getting way out of hand. Adeline decided that maybe this was not the time. "We'll talk tomorrow about this." She threw his hands off and walked home. Alone.
