Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 122 - A Soon Coming Change- IV

They had already been assigned rooms by the couple that was also there to guide for stop after brief introductions of different people that were with her on this trip they all had decided to have an early evening and retire to bad just as the guide had suggested. Because of which after eating dinner they all had retired two beds after setting an alarm clock and she had received to roommates, both of them are girls. 

The last thing that she had seen before sleep had taken over her was the side pocket that was poking out a bit out of a bag because of the pendant box kept inside it. 

******

The alarm ringed and her eyes flew open. The immediately went to the windows where she noticed that it was still dark outside. The guys had asked them all to set alarm early and according to the time that they would take to wake up on time. Which is why she had set her as earlier than usual. 

In the same room what two other girls Abigail and Emma; her roommates. They had bonded last night and decided that they would be staying together throughout the entire trip. The girls had to stick together and since they were given the same room in a in they had decided that it was probably for the best. 

Adeline shifted from her bed and shivered as soon as her feet touched the cold tiles. She immediately pulled her feet up and wore socks before wearing shoes. It was freezing cold! More than she had initially expected and she was really grateful that her aunt had made show to back heavy jackets and boots along with warmers. 

Standing up she went to Emma and woke her up. "Hey, wake up." She shook her new found friend who woke up immediately. Mr was a person that I really knew was more responsible because she was the only one who had kept her things together and in the least Messy way. 

Last night they all had played the game and Adeline had lost which made her the person who would wake the other two.

"I'm . .up. . Up." Emma grumbled. "Would you get me my coffee?" She begged with her eyes. 

"No." Adaline answered simply and went to the bathroom to get ready. "Make sure Abigail is awake too." She cheekily said before closing the door to the bathroom, she practically hopped inside. 

Staring at the mirror, she sighed harshly before saying, "Remember to enjoy. They would always want you to be happy." She nodded to herself and went for a shower.

For the first time, in seven months Adeline did not go to the graveyard first. 

It was a difficult change but she knew that moving on one was necessary as well because even though the grieving process important have parents would hate to see her the way she was currently. 

*********

They had all gathered outside dressed and bellies filled with breakfast. They had no it show to eat light because there was going to be a climb and were packed good solid water bottles. 

"Alrighty, kids!" Maya clapped her hands excitedly, "Our hike to reach the open clearing is going to begin now. I hope that you all part the sesame items in the back back given to you. I also want to remember that these are given to you just for you stay here so try your best to not damage them for anyone else to use." She adviced with her usual soft voice. 

"My advice would be for you all to follow each other and not to wander around." Mr Mose's voice was practically a roar. "Not that I am joking but there can still be a chance of an animal or two coming down from the hill."

That made everyone nervous and it was visible that all of them had paled. 

"What do you expect?" Mr. Nose barked. "It's a hike in the woods. Woods ain't for kids."

Of course, not. Adeline wanted to answer. After all they were the home to wolves and the community of supernatural. 

Maya laughed, trying to ease the tensions arising around. "Don't worry kids. That's not true. The forest officers patrol the area but nevertheless, we don't want you the get lost because of which our advice would be to make sure that you stay inside of us and with your group." She smiled,"Let's go!' she chirped.

"She chirps too much for my morning moods." Abigail groaned while rubbing her head. "I wish I could be that chripy but then I think I might end up killing myself." She shrugged. "Life's hard, I guess." She ended up saying which made Adelene giggle at her. 

"What's with that guy?" Emma pointed to someone and Adeline looked into that direction. 

It was Noah.

"Why?" Adeline asked her. What concern did she have with him? "What happened?" 

Emma simply shrugged in return. "Nothing just found him to be. . "

Emma quietened upper weight which only made adaline and Abigail glance into the direction. It was obvious that she was searching for a better word which Abigail wholeheartedly provided her help with. 

"Yummy, hot, sexy—"

"Yes! Yes! We get that!" Emma hissed at Abigail. "Could you lower your vocie?"

Abigail looked at her mischievously. "Why?!" She yelled at the top of her lungs amount everyone, including Noah look at them. Everyone had turned to look at them as if they were weirded out with the three girls. 

Adaline couldn't help and laughed along.

"He's watching us." Abigail commented as she continued to glance discreetly at Noah who had been looking at them. "You know him don't you?" She said to Adaline who immediately denied it as a blush crept to her cheeks. 

"No, no." 

"Really?" Abigail raised an eyebrow at that. "Girl do not try to fool me. You have been looking away from him as if he knows something about you." She had observed it and narorwed her eyes at Adeline. 

She was caught, but there was no way that she was agreeing on to the fact that Noah and she knew each other from before.

"No," she shook her head. "I think he is pretty handsome too but since Emma saw him first, I do not want to intervene."

"Awe," Abigail on and pulled her closer, hugging Adeline side by side, "That's what bitches are. You are a true friend and—" Abigail suddenly stopped walking and Adeline turned around to see that she was staring at her bagpack.

"What's this?" Abigail pulled out a small chain and Adeline immediately realised what it was. She did not want anyone to see it. It was hers. 

"Nothing." Saying so Adeline snatched the crescent moon pendant out of her hands and put it in her own pocket. It was hers. 

Abigail did not reply to her immediately but took her hand and started walking forward once again. "You know I think that pendant would look good on you more more than being in a pocket of a backpack."

Adeline sighed in return. She knew that it would look good on her. She loved it two beds and she never have the guts to throw it away. But she could never gather the courage to see it on her again without having her father's dead eyes flash in front of her.

It was the sad reality That the pendant would always be with her, that it would always touch skin but would never be on her neck.

Fast forward seven hours later they had reached the clearing finally and now none of them had the strength to get up for even sit straight.

Adaline groaned as she rubbed her thighs that were aching as if someone had hammered them. She now understood why it was obvious to work out on a daily basis because for someone like her it seemed better to cut off her legs than rather deal with the pain.

"I really need to start working out I cannot believe I came on this trip knowing that I would have to hike up mountain!" Emma cried. "I cannot believe that I was stupid enough to chose this! For fun and relaxation! Fuck me, I'm crazy." 

"I know right." Abigail muttered silently. "But I get it now why they were asking us to get up early at least we reached here before the evening."

Adeline was still rubbing her thighs.

"Alright kids!" Mr Mose yelled again. The man never seemed to talk, he only yelled at the top of his voice. "Take a rest of an hour but after that you all have to setup your tent, instruction manual will be given to you and so would be our help. We are spending tonight and tomorrow here." He called his hands. "Your hour starts now."

Abigail muttered from behind, "I am literally willing to bet a thousand bucks that this guy was fired from the army and now he is trying to drill children!"
