Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 251 - To The Temples - I

Patricia stood in front of the cabin allotted to her and her mate along with Elizabeth.

"What do you think?" Elizabeth asked as she stared at the cabin where the Alpha couple stayed. 

Patty tsked. "I don't know. We are kind of at a disadvantage because the cabins are soundproof. Are you saying that they are fighting?" 

Elizabeth tilted her head as she concentrated on the door of the cabin. "I don't know. Maybe if we went to the market with them yesterday we would have known how it went for them." 

Patricia sighed at that. Even though she regretted slightly not going to the markets with the Alpha couple she enjoyed her stay with her mate. It had been a long time since they had had a complete day to themselves and they could not wait to get more. 

"Are you ready?" Augustus arrived along with Dylan. "We have a transport arrangement for the queen." 

"What? Here?" Elizabeth chuckled. "I never thought that these guys would have cars." Bullock carts and cars being pulled by the horses or donkeys was still common in this region. With the huge amount of snow, it was difficult for anyone to travel on four wheelers which is why there was only one or two available that was only hired by the richest of all. 

"You'll see." Augustus grinned before he sobered up. "Now, who is going to go and knock on the door?" 

Everyone fell quiet. 

Elizabeth added after a long moment. "Maybe we could wait for anyone to open the door? Or if we see anyone from the window?" 

No one replied. That could take us away from them and they only had a limited time away from the throne. After that they would have to return to their duties. 

It was the Alpha couple that needed help the most. Even though the beta and gamma couple had small errors and fights here and there they knew who needed the calm and peace. 

"I'll go," Dylan nodded to them and kissed Elizabeth's lips. He crossed the distance and stood in front of the door of the Alpha Lycan before knocking on It twice. The sound on the door was enough for anyone, especially supernatural, to hear in the house, which is why he could feel the vibration of someone. 

Xavier opened the door and nodded to his gamma wolf. "I'll be out in a few." He closed the door again. 

Dylan stayed with his back street before the door closed and he slouched with a huff of relief. He came back and hugged Elizabeth as Augustus patted his back. "Well done, my friend." 

"Funny," Dylan spat as he buried her nose in Elizabeth's hair. 

After 5 minutes or so the door to the Alpha couples cabin opened and Adiline walked out. Right behind her was Xavier. 

The group of food joined the Alpha couple in the middle of the road before Adeline was tackled in a hug by Elizabeth. 

Adeline giggled. "What are you doing?" 

"I missed you!" Elizabeth squeezed Adeline and Patricia joined in to hug the both of them.

"We just met each other yesterday." Adelene reminded them even though she had a huge smile on her face. 

"We need to travel to the centre of the marketplace first. After that we can decide on which temple to go to first." Augustus informed them all. "Ready all?" 

With pairs, their significant other next to them, everyone started walking. The first was the gamma couple then the beta and then the Alpha couple. 

Xavier's nose twitched. The smell was nasty. He glanced at Adelaide who was walking without any tension. He watched as she admired the surroundings around them. 

He stepped slightly towards her side and their arms brushed together. 

Adeline scowled slightly but did not change her way. It did not escape past her that he was constantly brushing their arms and their hands. At the end when they were nearing the entrance of the cabins she snapped. 

"What is it with you?" She hissed. If he wanted to hold her hand all he had to do was ask. 

He made a face taking her by complete surprise. It seemed as if he was disgusted. 

"You smell." 

"Excuse me!" She whispered, horrified by what he had said. Even though it was freezing cold when she took her clothes off in the bathroom she was still taking a bath.

"No," he grunted, "you smell of others." He explained and before another second passed she found herself in his arms completely hugged by him. 

"Xavier?" She questioned and made no move to hug him back. "Wh—' she tried to push him but he did not move, not even slightly. "What is going on with you?" 

"You smell like my beta and gamma." He grumbled in her ear stilling her completely. "You smell like them instead of me and I hate it." 

She gulped. She told her about this. Supernaturals hated when there was the centre of someone else over their other halves. "But I just hugged the girls?" 

"Who had sex with their mates all day long yesterday and today morning." He reminded her, making her eyes widened.

Well, when he put it that way she understood where he was coming from. 

She sighed roughly and let him continue before starting to wiggle. "Are you done now?" 

He did not reply immediately but pulled back yet kept his hands on her elbows. "Yes, I am done." He said. 

His hand reached to play with a small strand of her hair that had escaped out of her ponytail. "You should only smell like me, Adelene. No one else." He whispered to what seemed like himself but Adeline due to such close proximity in between them had every word. 

"Only me." He repeated as he twirled the strand on his finger. 

It was slightly uneasy to hear. 

She didn't comment on it but to hear it seemed like the king was obsessed. The Lycan King was obsessed with her, his human mate.
