Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 13 - Scent Of Mangos.

Xavier could smell the delicious fragrance of mangos and hardly took any time to recognise who it belonged to; his female Adeline. All of them including his human mother could sniff it out. Cassandra and Javier looked at their son with pride, for his mate was coming to their home and their plan of shifting did not go waste. Alexander, his elder brother was looking at him with amusement in his eyes. Alexander had never seen his brother grinning like a clown. His mate was sitting beside him and understood who was coming, she giggled along with Cassie on how he was itching to go hug her, breathe in the scent of mangos.

His mother shook her head and walked up to the door greeting her daughter-to-be's father and then Xavier poked his head out. Alexander and Javier barked out a laugh, whereas Ashlynn giggled endlessly. The family presented them with baked goods and they were invited in. Jason and Adele entered their house and sat down after the introductions. She liked Ashlynn who was in her class when she introduced herself, Ashlynn, without any care spoke that she had not heard about Adele which gave a clear hint to Jason about Adele's socialising skills.

Jason and Javier went inside Javier's office for a drink whereas Adele sat downstairs with Ashlynn, Cassie and Xavier.

"So honey, how has your stay been here so far? I know it's too soon to question but any problems?" Cassie asked in her sweet motherly tone which was music to Adele's ears.

"Good. It's been pretty good." that was a clear lie, things had been quite awkward. Yet she did not voice her experiences.

"Hmm. So Addy.. wait I can call you that right?" Ashlynn waited for confirmation from Adeline while watching her from her big doe eyes.

"Yes, of course, you can." Shit, that was so desperate.

Ashlynn smiled in return and continued talking to her. "so would you like to and have ice cream sometime?" But then she added, "of course, Xavier won't be there."

Adeline frowned on that. Why would she care about Xavier when she was hanging out with Ashlynn? Adele had just got a friend and what she did not want was to lose her after taking a step forward to their friendship. So she smiled and nodded eagerly in return. For Xavier, this was family bonding time. All the women in the family were sitting together and bonding. He was proud of his female for trying and bond with his family. He wanted to take her away from everyone else. His eyes which were looking at his mate were turned towards Ashlynn, she returned his gaze and understood the meaning behind them.

"Addy were you able to solve question 15 in the math assignment today? You know the one with the Keith walked to the park and blah blah and blah happened."

Adeline giggled on the description she gave about the question. The truth to be told she was yet to solve it and talking about it with Ashlynn might help so she agreed. "No, I was not able too."

Ashlynn immediately perked up as if she was waiting for this answer. She gave Adele her megawatt smile and stood up. "Come on then sista, let's solve maths problem with his 'X'." She then grabbed Adele's hand as she got up and led her into the room upstairs.
