Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 119 - A Soon Coming Change - I

The moment she stepped inside the house and closed the front gate behind her the eerily feeling went away.

Was it because they could no longer look at her since she was in her own house?

She moved up and opened her laptop and taped on the Google search bar.

'Why am I having hallucinations?' she typed and within nanoseconds, the results popped up.

She read through the contents one by one.

She was not high she was not drunk and she did not have to mention which work the first causes written and the most important ones.

However, the next one caught her eye.

It's said to happen when someone is tired or by lack of sleep which she had been honesty experiencing for the past seven months because whenever she closed her eyes she would see The haunting dead eyes of her father.

No way in hell could she think about closing her eyes and trying to sleep. Her mind was filled with random thoughts running around and at times sleep did not come until very early in the morning.

She closed shut the laptop and dropped her forehead as she realized that it could have been her lack of sleep and mindless thoughts about him that had led to these hallucinations.

And since she was feeling better as she knew the answer to a query she moved downstairs and grabbed the jute bag to bring her chips inside.

This time, she hurried her way through. She quickly opened the door and then walked to the car. Opening the trunk hurriedly she moved to pick the items out and in the bag. She closed the trunk and ran like a madwoman inside the house and closed the door behind her as she leaned across it, huffing and puffing.

"Umm. . ." She looked up to see her aunt looking at her with a bottle of sauce in her hand. "You . . Okay?" She tilted her head a little with her mouth opened a little.

Adeline stared at her aunt who looked shocked at what Adeline had done.

"Is there a dog outside?" She asked with a small concern on her face.

It was a wolf bite! She wanted to snap at her aunt.

She had stayed for months in a hospital because of the infection of the bite and they all just assumed now that she was afraid of small furry beasts.

She shook her head. "No, no. I'm fine." Adeline moved away from the door and kept the chips in the pantry. She came out and saw her aunt already getting the dinner ready.

"Sorry, I creeped you out." Adeline took a seat at the counter.

Tessa shook her head. "I was creeped out by your mother willingly wanting to marry my brother. I even allowed her to run." She shook her head reminiscing, "She didn't take it and laughed with my brother at it."

Adeline smiled. She had heard this story a thousand times before and she loved it to date. She was awesome about how they loved each other and people were wary of it.

"What happened, Adeline?" her aunt asked from the stove. "I am your guardian, at least for more than a year you would be living with me, so I have to make sure that you are alright mentally and physically."

"I am okay aunt Tessa," she mumbled and looked down on her nails. What was she supposed to tell her? She felt drained, mentally and physically, it was as if she had no power over anything anymore. Everyone she had ever loved was left behind where she never wanted to look again.

Looking back was painful and she won't ever do that willingly.

Tessa has out a tired sigh. "Do you think I cannot hear you walking in your room all night? You go to sleep every night around two to three am. That's not healthy." She flashed her a knowing look, Tessa was aware of it all. 

"Not to mention, you father might be coming here anytime now to haunt my ass."

That had Adeline crack up a smile. "True, he would." She agreed.

Tessa nodded with her smile, "Yes, so why don't you do me a favor and tell me the problem so I can help you with it?"

Adeline peeked at her aunt who was already looking at her. "I don't know what the problem is." Which was one to put it.

"Have you thought about your parent's death recently?" Tessa asked.

Adeline nodded. She did every single day.

Tessa further asked, "Do you wish for them to come back?"

"Every single day." She answered without missing a beat. "But to be honest, I know that can't happen so I have made my peace with it."

Tessa did not immediately comment on it. She turned around and steered what she had left on the stove. The delicious aroma along with the species was wonderful. Her mother used to cook like that. Adeline didn't remember the smell, but the taste was out of the world.

"I will remember when I first saw you at the airport or the hospital to be exact. You were brought by the police and then you were taken immediately to the hospital again because of your infection. When you attended your father's funeral and once again you were taken back to the hospital so basically," she turned around and stood in front of Adaline, "I think you need to have a change of place. All you are surrounded by is memories and then comes the monotonous cause of the hospital. You need something different something new to get your mind more clear."

"No," immediately disagreeing, Adeline said, "My parents just died how do you expect me to the right side and enjoy—"

"My father died too and so did my mother. To date, I can tell you that I carry for them from the bottom of my heart that does not stop me from laughing and crying for another thing." Tessa sharply spoke. "You are mistaken if you think that it in some sort of way if you have fun your parents would be repulsed by the idea of it!"

When she thought of it, the idea of her parents being repulsed by fun and could not help but sniff as tears came to her eyes. They would never feel that way. They loved her too much to say no to having fun.

"But it's me. I think that I should not be having fun given that they no longer there and it's not that much time for them to have passed away."

Tessa leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "Darling, even if you laugh the very next day it does not validate the fact that you are happy after your parents died. Grieving for anyone is a very long process and I have been doing it will take from my parents, so did your father."

"But. . but. ." She sniffed before crying altogether. Tessa came around to hug her.

It did not seem fair that the world has come to kill her but her father had died instead. He was supposed to live and if possible fall in love once again. It is up to be happy and live life to the fullest and visit his favorite country wanted to.

But instead, he had ended up dying in a car accident that was supposed to kill her. She hated it and yes she did hold herself responsible. Because she was responsible.

The only thing that kept on going was that his father would never want her to die or even think about it. He would have wanted her to live her life to the very fullest.

"Baby," her aunt cooed. "Not asking you to have fun and laugh and play games and do whatsoever. I am asking you to do it have a change of scenery and calm your mind with us that is the most important thing."

Adeline just ended up shaking her head.

Tessa sighed in exhaustion. "How about we do a trade? The weekend is coming up and I want you ego for tracking into the mountains for 3 days and in return, I am going to let you eat pizza for dinner for a whole week."

That had Adeline's attention.

Losing weight and then munching on pizza for a week straight?

"That's it?" She asked looking at her aunt, "that's all you want?"

Tessa nodded with a small smile on her face. "Yes, sugarglum. A nice, good long walk in the woods will do you good especially when it's in the mountains with cold weather." She sighed blissfully, "I would love to go too but the clients would go crazy. So, about I start looking for your age group?"

Adeline considered it. People have been watching her in the town back and forth and she knew that he was but behind her. So maybe a change of scenery would do her good.

"Okay." She agreed. What's the worst that could happen?
