Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 290 - A Call From The Heart - II

It was only a few rooms that they crossed before the staircase arrived and Elizabeth took her up two floors. 

She finally stopped in front of the room with a door that seemed to be thick. 

"Why is this door thicker than the others?" Adeline could not help but ask the question in her mind. The Other doors in the building were of normal build but this one seems to be even thicker than her hand. 

"We keep the wolves that are not to be disturbed here." Elizabeth answered with a glance at Adaline as she stood in front of the door. "These doors are thicker in nature along with the walls making it harder for sound to penetrate. At the moment we need to block out anything related to you from the Alpha." 

Wow, that did not sound pleasant to even hear. 

"Has he been there as long as I have been here?" 

Elizabeth nodded. " Are you sure that you want to go in? Because he might not talk to you and he is also changed." Elizabeth gave her a sorry look before saying, "if I put myself in your shoes and now I won't be able to see Dylan like that." 

But Adeline did not see herself having any problems like that; it was because of the reason that Xavier had chosen to chain himself. 

"Just open the door Elizabeth." Adeline stood her ground. 

Elizabeth nodded and took a key out of her pocket. "Augustus and Patricia will surely give me a tough time for this but since you say so." Elizabeth muttered under his breath before turning the key and opening the door with the small amount of strength. 

She pointed inside nudging Adaline to move. "I will be outside so if you want to come out you can knock on the door or if you don't want me to close the door at all?" 

"I'll knock," Adeline murmured, looking inside the room and focusing there. She walked inside the room completely ignoring Elisabeth standing outside and walked in without goodbye or a word for farewell. 

When she entered the room it was on the right side that the bed was on and on either the other side of the bed were chains attached to the wall that held the man on the bed who was staring at her. 

Adeline took in the sight in front of her. The chains were long enough for Xavier to move around but the man in question was coming lying down on the bed with the chains surrounding him. 

"Aren't you a sight to admire?" Adelene tilted her head. "Why don't you stay like this forever?" 

Xavier scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Leave." 

"I did," Adeline said but before she could realise the word had already slipped past her, "I had planned to leave the world when I jumped off the Cliff it was you who followed me." 

Xavier's eyes darkened considerably at that. "Adaline." The name was said in a clear warning tone but Adaline did not adhere to it. 

Instead the little Penguin shook her head defiantly and tilted her chin up. "You marked me Xavier."

The words were a statement but they came out as an accusation. The shifter could not tolerate looking at his mate anymore and averted his eyes. 

The action did not slip past Adaline. "I don't know what you are guilty of. I have been told that I have a high probability of dying." 

The shifter remained silent, making Adeline sigh. "Can you please confirm that I was going to die and you saved me by marking me?" 

Xavier raised his head and leveled his stare with her. "Why am I supposed to confirm, Adeline? Would it change anything if I send no?" 

Adeline frowned. 

Xavier continued, "what if I tell you that was not the reason I marked you for? What if the reason I did it was to simply have my mark over you?" 

Adeline could feel the urge of crying building up. Her eyes watered and she tried not to blink so that they would not fall to her cheeks. 

"I don't understand . . . " She sniffed, "why is it always like this with you?" 

"You do something then you take the blame and you build up the guilt of it inside you. That is not enough! At the end of it you will start pushing me away and when I try to get closer to you you throw me," Adelene pointed at herself and then at the wall, "so far away that I don't even know where it hurts!" 

She wiped the tears on her cheek that had escaped. "You keep on pushing me and throw me away until I stay there and when you feel that it is convenient you come to make to pick me up to show me the dreams o-of happiness and then you do something again because of the circu-circumstances and-d then you d-do th. .e," Adeline groaned in frustration loudly before gripping her hair and pulling on them. 

"Adeline. . ." Xavier murmured in concern. 

"You always do this!" Adelene shrieked as she pointed a daring finger at the Alpha king. "You always do this and this is what you choose to do, not something that is just supposed to happen! You choose to break me and then try to build me all over again. How long do you think it will last before I break completely?!" 

Xavier stared at her with eyes filled of horror. "Break you?" 

Adaline scoffed incredulously. "Break me? Do you really have to ask that? Do you know what depression is and it's not the depression but you don't even know is there! I was in bed for months and I was not able to get up without thinking of you and you—Ugghhh!" Adeline groaned and shook her head finally letting the tears left before falling onto her knees on the ground. 

"You always do this . . . you always choose to do this." She cried, hell she wailed like a freaking manic. 

In her mind, Adelene knew exactly what she was doing and what path she was going down on. This was not the first time when she had let go of her self and cried crazily. 

But it had been long ago since she had done that. The months that she had spent in depression was full of trying episodes like these and Adeline could feel her self slipping into a familiar one.

She knew that this was going to be a mistake.. She knew that she should have never given Xavier the chance to come near because now, with as much as hopes he had given her, Adeline knew that bringing herself back was going to be much more difficult than before.
