Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Panic surged inside him when he did not find his mate breathing. The heartbeat was there but if on an average the human heart was supposed to beat around sixty to hundred times Adeline was barely going a ten or maybe twenty times. 

This was bad. 

Xavier carefully analysed how her face had started to pale and her lips were starting to turn purple. 

He looked outside the cave and focused for a quick second or two. He did not hear anyone coming which meant that his friends were no way near them. 

Fuck, he swore. Adaline would die from hypothermia because her body was not catching up the heat fast And The fire could only do so much along with his body heat. It would meet time and Adaline did not have that. 

Placing her near the fire as his only option he focused on her feet.. He started to rub them to get the warmth alternating between the two of them and then focus on her hands. 

It did not stop. If anything her heartbeat slowed even after his constant efforts. 

This was taking him nowhere and it only made him wonder how long Adeline could go on if he did not provide her with immediate treatment. But what more could he do here? 

His lip trembled at the realisation. He did not know shit about medical science and his mate was dying in a dire need of one. 

The only thing he knew that could help her and have her heart beat at a normal rate was something she was never going to accept.

Unfortunately for him that was the only option left. 

******* 

Dylan after pushing away Augustus slightly ran into the forest and shifted mid-air. He ran quicker than before. This time the need to run was overpowering his muscles and strength because his king was in danger along with the queen. 

He covered more ground than he had done ever before and he could see the cabins once again. 

It was then he felt something behind him. His beast sent someone behind him and Dylan ran towards the tree before jumping on it and turning around and landing on the ground effortlessly to glare here was the thing that had been following him. 

It was definitely a thing because Dylan did not recognise anything that looked like that. In his journey of being the gamma of the shifter Kingdom he had seen many beasts and creatures in his life, more than anyone else perhaps, but nothing like this. 

This ugly beast that had mattered on its skin and it's rotten teeth was almost black in colour. Spit dripped out of its teeth and not to mention the blood red eyes of his that had no irises in them. He stood on his Hind legs. When they looked down he saw that the thing had no genitalia. Not only that but it was all skin and bones making the Gamma wonder if the creature could actually fight or not. 

He could trace out ribs on the beast. 

It looked like a creature straight out of hell. It looked like it was a reincarnation of a demon. Dylan had never seen anything like that in his life and he wondered if he would ever again because this time he was going to kill this piece of shit. 

Dylan gave out a warning growl, telling the creature to back off before it died by Dylan's hands. 

The creature took a step forward and completely ignored The warning growl given to him by a much stronger wolf. 

The gamma wolf did not hesitate to attack. He led the king's army so this thing was nothing for him to attack and kill. 

It was almost like he did not know what to do and Dylan could tell that by the first move the creature made.

It bowed down before attacking the Gamma Lycan crouched down and attack him in the midriff just as he found the creature up in the air. 

Dylan dug his teeth into the rib cage of the creature and ripped out a chunk of flesh along with two bones of his ribs. The creature fell off balance landing on the ground to his side with the huge wine. He was heard and he did not bother to hide it giving Dylan a lot of time to spit the chunk of flesh out of his mouth and turned around to face the creature once more.

The creature could not even get up after having flesh torn away from him because he was that weak. Even if it were had been an amateur wolf fighting under the Gamma, Dylan knew by experience that a healthy wolf would have been able to get up or run away neither of which the creature try to do. 

The creature continued to be on the ground and Dylan who had a heart of stone could not bear to see a poor one who could not defend himself neither had eaten in days trying to to crawl away when he was clearly unable to do so. 

He moved closer and elongated his claws before taking a clean and quick swipe across the neck of the creature killing him instantly. He then moved closer to a tree and mark himself on it. 

The next thing he knew what he was charging into the cabins and shifted in front of everyone to tell them what happened. The tasks / immediate. Patricia to count to the role of the beta female and immediately send for the healers and doctors both from the the temple and from the private practice of wolves. They had emergency kits prepared for human mates. 

While the others that consisted of ten people along with Elizabeth and Dylan charged back into the forest perform a completely different way. There were going below to the river banks where is a Xavier and Adelaide had fallen. 

Two more were going to find the creature in the forest that was having surrounded by heavy smell of the Gamma wolf. 

Dylan caught the familiar smell of the Alpha couple and he could hear the heartbeats, healthy heart beats, of them. Which meant that both of them were alive and healthy. 

He immediately ran into the cave where he could smell them only to come to a screeching halt when the Alpha Lycan barred his teeth marred with blood at him. 

Holy shit, he immediately realised and looked down Adaline. Fuck.
