Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 228 - A Change Seen - II

Adeline felt weak. She felt drained more than she did on the first day of her period. She could not even wake up from her bed and she was pretty surprised that her aunt did not come and visit her. 

What was happening? 

She felt her entire body paining and she did not even remember doing any kind of strainers exercises on movement that could cause it. It felt like her bones were practically broken at this point. 

She held her head which pained slightly. 

No one was coming to wake her up today. Usually Adaline would wake up on time but when she did not her aunt would always come to wake her up and she knew that she was way past her awake time which is why she was shocked to how come no one was coming including the butler to wake her up. 

There was only one option she was left with because no one else was answering. She rolled onto her stomach with great effort as her body groaned out in pain. She tried to crawl to the side of the bed.

This hurt a lot. 

She touched the button on her side table. She repeatedly tapped on it. Someone had to come and get her because she felt like she was dying now. What had she come in contact with? Was she sick?

"Ms Quill—Oh my god!" Adeline heard the door open and how the person Shrieked in horror. She turned around and she immediately saw Zara in her line of visions. 

"Mr. Javis!" Zara screamed, "Mr. Javis." 

Adeline cringed. Her voice seemed to be painful. It only increased her headache. 

She hissed slightly. How was it feeling this much amount of pain. She could not even move now.

The last thing Adeline saw from her blurry vision was her uncle and aunt running into her bedroom and towards her before everything went dark.

"You okay now?" Tessa held Adaline's hand in hers as she rubbed them. "This has never happened to you before or your father must have failed to mention it. I never knew that you could catch a cold to this extent." 

Adeline gulped. "I didn't either." She replied. It was true. She had never caught cold to such an extent where she could not even move from the bed. Usually she would be able to move around the room and swallow medicine but this time she was unable to do so.

She felt drained of our entire energy and it was not a nice feeling. 

For a moment she felt like she was dying. The pain was only increasing and the headache she felt did not help it either. 

"Does the doctor say anything else?" Tessa asked Korr, "any kind of multivitamins that we need to provide to her?" 

Korr shook his head. "He said that she is having a balanced diet. For now, let's let her rest. The butler will tell you when she is awake." 

Korr walked out of the room but Tessa stayed and gave a kiss to Adaline before walking out as well and closed the door behind her. 

She felt much better now. She had no idea what the doctor had given her but it really felt lifting. 

She leaned over without any pain over the bed side and took out a phone. Did not use touchscreens here because communication was not that popular. 

That was something Adeline found to be grateful. People's lives did not revolve around cell phones and social media. 

She unlocked it and opened the contacts. Her finger hovered over Xavier's contact. She had not called him many times and this time she was panicking slightly. Would he have the time to pick up her call while he was busy with his duties? 

Biting her lip she finally pressed the green button and the call went through. 

"Hello?" 

Her breath hitched at the voice. He sounded so gruff. "Were you sleeping? That I disturb you?" 

"Yes." He replied and her mood dimmed. Wow, did you really have to be that crude? That was not anything like it was before.

"Well," she began again one more try to continue the conversation, "I just wanted to tell you that I was sick and I could not even get up from the bed. The doctor said I caught a cold but it was much more than that. I really felt like everything was—" 

"I get it," he cut her off, " you were sick, Adaline. Next what?" 

She gulped. What next could she tell him now? She tried again, "well I am fine now. Though the doctor has given me some medicine for the cold. Even set to make sure to wear warm clothes now. I think Aunt Tessa—"

"Do you have something that could tell me the importance of why you called me?" 

Adeline licked her lip at her lack of a reply. Why was he being so bad? What was suddenly so wrong with him? 

"I don't know . . Can't we just talk like normal people?" She gave a small nervous chuckle at the end. She was honestly scared of his reply to this. 

He scoffed and her heart broke a little. "I am a king, Adeline. And not just taking of the human population but of someone that can shift into beasts any time they want. Do you saying I have time for a stupid fucking phone call?" He spat. "Next time you think of calling me, drop a message first so that I can come back to you if I have the Goddamn time. Do you understand this?" 

She controlled the tears and the bubbling sob. "Yes." She whispered out. She understood that. She understood that very well.

"Good, Fucking great." She had before he Hung up. 

Adelen looked at the phone in her hand. Perhaps it was her fault because at the end of the day she was aware of the position he was in; it was obvious that he was busier than she ever would be. 

Maybe, she sighed, she didn't know it anymore.
