Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 234 - Planning For The Tour - III

"Really now?" Korr eyebrows shot up as he was not expecting that kind of answer from Adeline. "Can you tell me what exactly happened?" The shock was practically dripping from his voice and face. 

She nodded. "Ashlynn was talking about how she could not move and and at that moment it felt like she could not even breathe. I don't know what came over My mind and the next thing I know I feel something coming out of me and towards her and it will take me with you only to people in this world." 

"And?" 

She licked her lip nervously. "I told her that she was not going to die and she was going to stay with me forever. . . . Did I just basically make her my slave?" She blurted out in the end. 

Korr shook his head. "No young one, at times people need a sense of direction and you gave for that." 

She watched him with wide eyes full of concentration to what he was going to say next. "So is it true then? Did I really do that?" 

He smiled and nodded. " You did exactly what Luna's hand does. You guided and helped them when no one else could." 

Adeline trusted her uncle's opinion. During her six months of depression he was the one anchor along with many others who did not like her and gave her the truth as gently as possible which is why when he said that she had done exactly what Luna's hand did, she believed him. 

"Do I have to go then?" She asked him directly. "I don't want to go alone with Xavier."

"Why not?" His forehead creased, " I heard from Javis that you two were talking." 

They were talking and Adaline would agree with that but she did not know what happened after. She just felt angry and irritated by his presence. "Why do I have to go?" 

"Its sometimes that needed couples love to go on solo trips. Maybe all you need is some alone time?" Korr told her as he uncomfortably rubbed the back of his neck. "Blessings are important too?" 

Adeline raised an eyebrow at that. "Are you not going to tell me that those people living there could tell us more about the hand problem?" 

"Yes," he nodded vigorously, "that."

"Ambassador Korr," Their attention went to Xavier, "do you mind if I spend the rest of the dinner alone with Adeline? I need to talk to her about a few things." 

Adeline's eyes moved to her uncle and she was ready to beg him to say no but before she could do that he had already said yes. 

Korr glanced at her and turned back to him, "just bring her before desert. Is that alright with you?" 

Xavier nodded and Korr left. 

Adeline watched him walk up to her before two servants appeared with 2 chairs and a table.

Xvaier pointed to the wall in front of them, "Let's go and stand there," She watched him back to the wall and stood there before following him and watched how the servants made a makeshift dinner table ready for them. 

"You liked pasta." He said as he held out his chair. 

"I did." She blinked at the familiar sight of a favourite pasta. She stared at him who took a seat in front of her and dug into his food. 

"Did you not hang up on me that day?" She set out loud with every intention of questioning him about it. "I thought I was almost dying and behaved like that." 

He frowned and looked concerned. " What do you mean? Also why did I not know about this?" 

"You—" she scoffed and gaped at him. " I told you! I called you in fact!" She shrieked. "Are you going to say that you never received my call?" 

He narrowed his eyes on her. "Adeline, I do not remember the last time I used the phone and if my phone rings, I can hear it from my office and even in the gardens. So yes I have not received any call from you in the previous six months." 

She shook her head adamantly because she remembered what happened. "No, no, you picked up the phone and you were extremely rude and basically told me to cut to the chase when I was telling you how sick I was. Then you Hung up On Me!" She continued to relate the story as she continuously pointed her finger at him. " Are you going to deny it all?" 

He shook his head and this time she could see the frustration on his face, "Adeline, I am not denying something I did not do. Why the fuck would I hang up on you when you're telling me that you are wrong with most on your death bed?" 

Now she fell silent. His words did make sense. If she was on her deathbed and she called him, why would he hang up on her? 

"Then if it was not you then who was it?" She mumbled, "because I remember as clear as day that it was your voice." 

He didn't know. He looked out of the giant ass window. He never understood the hallways having such huge windows. Anyone could come in at any point of time and attack the whole family. 

"Do you remember the time I came to your house and you told me you were busy?" He murmured but did not look at her and continued to look at the moon. 

When was that? She frowned. "I don't know what you're talking about. If you came to meet me I would have never told you that I am busy. I would have taken out sometime and would have cut our short but I would have never told you no." 

He glanced at her. "I thought so too."

"What does that mean?" She asked him. "What's happening? Because I don't remember telling you that I was busy when you came to meet me and you don't remember hanging up on me." 

He sighed loudly. "We need to go to the mountains." He nodded firmly, "I won't be taking a no on this."
