Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 31 - A Party?

"I don't think so," Adeline hesitated. Parties weren't her thing and she didn't want to risk it when she didn't know anyone in town.

"Why? I swear I will be there with you at all times!" Xavier tried his level best to persuade her. "I can even take you home to change!" Ashlynn had texted him earlier, telling how his beloved felt about this whole situation. ??

"Not comfortable with it, Xavier." She held her ground on this. Parties were a big no.

"Please for an hour, that's all I ask." He pleaded. Nothing was going to please him more if Adeline let him show her off even if it was without her knowing and in a very discreet manner.

His beautiful mate on his arm.

"Just an hour?" She questioned. He had joined his hands in a begging manner, his pout was horrible but at least he was trying and Adeline did secretly want to go. Is it bad that I wanted him to convince me?

"Yes! Just one!" He smiled and his eyes sparkled.

"Fine," she agreed. "But do not get drunk before dropping me home!" She immediately placed her condition.

"Yes, done." Opening the car door for her, he sat in the driver's seat. Alexander and Ashlynn were giving them space as they had taken his bike for it.

Even from afar with Adeline's human ears, she could hear the music. Nervousness started to click in. What was she going there for? She knew two people in the whole school and it was her junior year, there were a year and a half left.

Entering the house, she saw crowds of people dancing, laughing and kissing. Ew. Music was blaring through the speakers set in the staircase. The lights were fancy too, it felt like this was the party of the year. Xavier led her to the kitchen counter first and grabbed her a coke. At least he didn't give her alcohol.

"Ay! Xavier!" Boys hollered from behind as Adeline turned around, she saw a group of boys calling her boyfriend.

He simply smiled and nodded in return, waving a bit. He cleaned the barstool with a tissue and nudged her to sit.

"You can go," she yelled over the music not knowing that he could hear her even if she whispered.

"Naah, I'm fine. You agreed for an hour, I'm not leaving you alone." He yelled for her, leaning in quite close to smell her scent.

"It's fine! I need to have friends for myself anyway." She gently pushed him away into the direction of boys. Xavier hesitated a bit but her firm expression made him go away. "I'll be back in ten, okay?" He yelled.

She showed him a thumbs up and turned around drinking her coke. Glancing back, She saw him enjoying with his friends. Sliding from the stool, she made her way into the kitchen.

Since it was a party. A little Vodka won't hurt for the first time.
