Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 329 - The Marking Ceremony - IV

He had to turn into his beast.

Xavier had a hard time believing in it but Adeline had forced him into turning into his beast just to find her. 

He had to turn into his beast form because of his human form who had hidden surprisingly better than anyone could ever have imagined. 

When Adaline had run into the forest to hide it was early in the morning and it had taken quite a time for him to find her.

At the moment it was well over noon and he was losing hope.

He could only sense her half a way through after going maybe 15 to 30 steps into the Jungle he could not scent any smell of her. 

For a moment or two it felt like she had disappeared into the thin air. 

How the fuck did she managed to pull it off?

But since she had now he had been constantly walking around the forest sniffing around so that he could get a bit of a scent and follow it. 

"Fuck," he cursed in his mind. There was no way that he would get a scent this way. Was she even alright? 

****

Adeline giggled in delight.

The little possum's she had found along with so many rabbits were too cute to resist having caress over and the best part about it was the head will only come towards her and she did not have to chase them around. 

The soft fur reminded her of the furry slippers that she had in her uncle's home. The rabbit's fur resembled just the one that had been her favourite. 

Adeline had found the perfect spot for hiding. Going deeper into the forest and following her suddenly remarkable hearing, she had actually found a waterfall with a hollow space behind it. 

The best part about it? Water was going to hide her scent from Xavier, meaning that the water had washed away most of the time he would not be able to find her and all she had to do was wait for the sun to go down. 

"You are soo soft," she sighed and ran her hands over the top of the fur of different rabbits. So far the white one had been its favourite because it had been the first one to come near her. 

She sighed lightly and once again looked at the entrance of the waterfall. The water cascaded down at an unbeatable force yet she could still see the sun that was still bright as ever. 

Feeling slightly uncomfortable in her chest, Adeline rubbed the source for where she could feel her heart beating. There was some kind of pull that she was feeling, something that was constantly pulling her outside the hollow end of the waterfall and definitely towards Xavier. 

Now she understood what those people wanted to see. The urge to see Xavier grow inside her heart and that was what she had to fight. 

She closed her eyes when she felt another rumble in her stomach. Now she was definitely hungry and by far she had not seen any kind of fruit or even mushrooms grow in the forest. 

Adeline gulped uneasily, How long was it going to be?

*****

He growled in frustration. Where was she?! 

It was almost sundown. Hell, he would say that it had been sundown yet she was nowhere to be found and now, he was getting more worried than ever. 

"Adeline!" He yelled her name in frustration, even though she was not allowed to yell the name. 

He huffed. The rules could fuck themselves. 

"Adeline!" He screamed her name but no benefit came from it. Where was she? 

The forest was deep and even though there was sunlight it would only be there for some time meaning that it would be buried in eternal darkness for a few hours. 

There was no way that Adeline would be able to find her way around it. 

Fuck, he was going to lose her then. His eyes moved to the sun. 

He already had. It did not matter anymore because the sun was almost on the verge of setting and unless he reached the palace with her in his arms as he was not winning. 

And there was no way that he was actually reached there on time given that Adelene was far away from his reach. 

How could a little human, like her, to begin with, hide for so long?

As far as he knew Adelene and how he had expected her to react she should not have gotten this far in the first place. He had just expected her to run around aimlessly before he got her within minutes. 

How had she been holding up for so long? His little Penguin must have been hungry but she was still not up and out, otherwise you will have definitely got her scent. 

Where was she? His eyes narrowed before his snout moved to the ground and he started walking aimlessly while keeping it just above the ground to get any kind of scent. 

His nose to discreetly taste the water that was rich in the soil which month there was some kind of water body around.

Xavier's ears twitched as he leaned them to the side, slightly tilting his head hearing for any kind of sound the water might make. 

It was a huge forest and he knew that there must be some kind of water fall around if not then a lake at least..

Motherfucker, he cursed. Now, he knew what was going on. 

Adaline had been intelligent. Not only had she been intelligent, in this scenario she had actually been a genius and had won the round. 

His eyes narrowed towards the side where he knew the waterfall was. His ears did not lie and apparently, the soil that had a rich content of water in it did not either. 

A slow smile came to his human side and his beast growled at the thought. 

Let the chase begin.
