Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 15 - Bullying.

Adeline and Jason left the Black's house but not before accepting the dinner invitation which was being planned for the next Saturday.

Adeline was frustrated by the end. Cassie was not letting her leave, although she was a very nice and motherly person when a person wanted to leave, they wanted to leave. Period. It was irritating her how Cassandra desperately wanted her to stay. She closed the door of her room and walked into her closet. The cotton pyjamas suits were everything, soft and comfy. She changed and dreaded going down, she knew her dad was going to question her about how many friends she had made and how many she had lied about. She saw how his face fell when Ashlynn admitted to not knowing him. ??

She walked down to the living room and saw her father sitting there with his head in his hands. She felt guilty now; clearly, anyone could tell that Jason was depressed. He looked up to her with glassy eyes making her whimper and give her lower lip a wobble as well. She ran into her father and sat down by his knees.

"I'm sorry, Okay! I did not want to worry about you. Please, papa, I'm sorry" She cried.

Jason looked down at her and ran his hand through his hair. He had no idea about what to do. He placed a hand on her head and said "Is it because you don't have a mother? Are you still being picked up on that?"

This was something Jason had feared. Adeline being bullied. He had faced that in middle school and was on the verge of suicide, had it not been his grandpa calling. Adeline knew the in and out of the story. Jason wanted her to know that she was surrounded by people who were willing to listen and cry with her, something he did not have at that time. She shook her head indicating that this was not the reason. Big fat tears were coming out of her brown eyes.

"Is it because of your eyes?" He whispered.

That question had broken the dam of emotions, she nodded. "Papa it's the first day! Plus I'm not ready to freak yet! Just give me time. I'll make friends eventually." Adeline by now was breathing heavily with tears flowing out of her eyes non-stop.

Jason sighed and hugged her tight, as tight as he could. He knew there were problems that she would face here but he also hoped for her to have a new start. A fresh start with no fear of being an outcast.

"Adeline," he spoke giving her the only advice he was given. "Let people in. That is not a bad thing, but do not let them near your heart. The ones who do, gradually, on their own find the way to your heart are the ones worth telling the truth to. Think Adeline, always think before doing." He kissed her head.

"Eyes? What's wrong with her eyes?"

Alexander sighed; he had told him whatever he had heard outside his human mate's house when he was coming back with Ashlynn. He was irritated by the constant pestering of his brother to know more and the other because his mate was sleepy and he knew she won't sleep without him.

"I told you what I heard. Twice, brother. I cannot talk about the same fucking thing again." He spoke with a low growl coming out of his chest as warming. Xavier stood up and walked into his room upstairs. He dragged the chair from the desk to the front of the window that directly gave the view of Adeline's room. He sighed when he saw her reading.

Pretty mate.

He chuckled at the thoughts of his beast. He wanted to be with Adeline all the time yet he knew he couldn't. So the next best thing was the one he settled for, looking at her. She was an angel, one descended from heaven just for him.

So like a creep but forced by the circumstances, he admired his mate from afar.
