Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 212 - The Heart Broken Mate - III

Xavier sniffed. He closed his eyes. 

No matter how much he sniffed continuously, her scent did not appear. It was easy for him to distinguish between a thousand or even a million people. His nose was sharper than anyone else and when it came to his mate. He could distinguish between a lot more people than an average Lycan. 

He opened his eyes and stared at everyone in the class. 

Everyone was sitting around with their mates. Otherwise that was a friend. They all had been blessed with one and usually people continued higher education in the specific areas needed. 

The only one that was missing was his mate who was studying in other classes specially because they could not be put in one room together. Everyone knew by now that the king and the future Queen did not sit well with each other. The instability it brought to both the kingdom and his heart was unparalleled. 

He sighed again. Her scent, the mangos had disappeared. Earlier he would read the air in just to get a sniff of the mangoes that were a hallway down from his class. 

His Penguin was gone. 

Fuck man. 

He stood openworked out of the room. People quieted down for a second before resuming the chatter again. He zoomed past everyone running at his full speed before stopping at the reception desk. 

"I'm leaving," he informed her in a hard voice. 

She nodded and he left. 

Even though he was not allowed to leave the school without permission just like any other student it was the status that he had that allowed him to take advantage here and there. Everybody knew that Xavier was the king and his father only acted as a regent. 

He shifted into his beast and his clothes were torn to pieces. He ran into the direction where he knew he would be safe enough to think. 

Adeline had pulled back from everywhere. He had once noticed that she wanted to take piano lessons as his or her talking to a piano in struct a. But she had pulled back from everywhere. From classes, from social gatherings and even Patricia and Elizabeth did not know because Adaline had stopped talking to them for a while. 

It hurt. 

He stopped in front of the graveyard where his brother was buried. 

His beast whined missing the one he played with all his life. Both Xavier himself and his beast missed his brother and the beast inside him. His brother and beast who would never make an appearance now. 

'What do I do?' He asked his brother in his mind, 'I feel like I am stuck in a certain part of my life whereas everything is moving.' 

He did not know what came over him to actually not answer when Adiline had asked him if there was a chance or not for them to be together. He had completely blank out at that question and there was nothing that came to his mind which only made him silent. 

The question was why had he blanked over? He knew what it was to stay with her and he knew how hard it was to stay away. 

'Why me?' he watched the grave, 'why her?' 

He growled loudly. What was wrong with him? 

Why the hell would he let her go alone when she was literally at arm's length where he could whenever he wanted to reach over and grab her and hold her to his chest. Why would he let ago when she was in his world?

He had always imagined when the future would come when he would be able to bring her to his word and now it happened. But everything that had happened between them had caused grave scars that did not hide themselves. They reappeared and resurfaced making them harder to forget and difficult to forgive. 

It was his incapability that prevented him from going back to her. His incapability that told him he was not worthy enough to have Adaline as his mate. 

His incapability to know who is made was visiting at all times. He should have done better when he knew that he was royalty and that she was human. 

His incapability to protect her child or keep tabs on her. His incapability to have her father killed right in front of her eyes and then have his brother die too. 

He failed everyone and now that slight fever always seemed to be on his mind. The fear that said he was going to fail no matter what. The fear that said the next person he might have to kill would be Adaline. 

He closed his eyes before turning to the direction and taking to the forest. If he was quick on his feet then his beast was much quicker than he was. 

Recovered a lot of resistance in a short time which is why he came to the familiar playing of wolves in the clearing. In the human world it was very dangerous to stumble upon A wolf in the clearing. The wolf or any supernatural shapeshifting creature could get shot on site but here everyone enjoyed the freedom except for getting into the territories of others without permission. 

He crossed all of them and and carried on on his journey before the fabulous and wafted into his nose. He breathed it in. 

His slow down as his focus now remained on the scent for stop sent especially since she was made made it easier for him to send her emotions. She was sad just as he was or maybe even more. He knew the impact his words had on her but he could not in danger her safety. 

He stopped before the clearing of the house came. Her window was visible and he could see the light turned on. 

She was there, she was inside and she was safe. 

That was all he could wish for before he closed his eyes turn around and once again started running back to the palace. 

She was safe.
