Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

He sighed blissfully and she smiled at that.   "Aren't you happy?" She teased as she smiled at him sleepily. Her eyes almost closing with tiredness yet he saw content in time.

He smiled at her who laid her head on his chest gazed at him sleepily. A light line of sweat was formed on their skins due to the activities that they were engaged in previously.

"I'm at my happiest babe." He gave another blissful sigh and relaxed. It was the best time of his life. His mate within his reach and him pleasuring her to her best. 

Adeline turned uneasily and scratched her neck aggressively. Concerned, he pulled her hand away and questioned her about it. "What's wrong?"

She continued to search with her other hand. "It's itching. I don't know..it.."

"Show me." He leaned in and pulled back in shock.

Fuck. He knew what it was and shame on him for forgetting about it.

How could he be so damn stupid?

He pulled her close in a hug and said, "Cuddle close and it might go away."

She laughed but fell asleep but his eyes won't even blink.

She had no idea and he had no intention of ruining this perfect relationship.

"I am sorry.." he whispered out of the blue as the guilt weighed down on him. 

She sleepily opened one of her eyes for as long as the heavy dose of sleep allowed. "What?" She said groggily.

"..for everything.." He said and watched her fall asleep. 

******

"I'm gonna make you mine.."

"La la la ...la la la .."

Elizabeth, Christine and Adeline were screaming and singing the song being played on the radio. Their voice was at the top of their lungs and earned a lot of looks from the people outside which had them laugh more.

"It was fun," Adeline said with a smile as she got out of the car.

Christine gave a loud laugh. "It sure was!"

Elizabeth chimed in. "Well, I can surely pick all of us. But," she turned to Adeline. "Some people have priorities set straight." She jutted her chin out towards an already present Xavier making Adeline blush as he was already looking at her.

She turned around to them and cleared her throat awkwardly.

"Oh look, there's Marshall.." Christine pointed at him but her smile tinted into a small frown, "and he looks pretty shaken up.."

Marshall looked around until his eyes landed on them standing near Elizabeth's eyes. He started to make his way to them.

"Hey," he was greeted by a chorus of hellos.

"What's with you? You looked shaken up." Christine commented with clear concern in her eyes.

"I..uh.." he turned around and his eyes watched around the parking lot. "I..do you think that the wolves could come back? Like to haunt us all?" He whispered harshly as was still careful of some hearing them. 

Elizabeth gasped and Christine's eyes widened. "What?" Both of them gasped.

"What?" Adeline asked too but in a total other sense. She had no idea what they were talking about.

The pitch of their voice had attracted attention from others and Christine noticed that.

"Let's go inside." She held his arm and dragged him inside. Elizabeth followed with Adeline.

"Do you have any idea what you are talking about?" Christine hissed as soon as all of them were inside a classroom.

"If I didn't then why would I utter this shit?!" He hissed as well. "Of course I know what I am talking about."

"The wolves retreated into the forest a long time ago. They can't come back and just haunt us." Christine reasoned and taunted back.

A wary looking Elisabeth spoke as the two friends halted at each other. "Marshall, could you tell us what happened?"

He glanced at her and then at Christine before sigh and giving in to talk. "Well, last night. When I was outside jogging, I heard growing. No dog here growls in such a feral way. Then at night, I saw one through the kitchen door and I saw one." He repeated once more. "I like saw an actual breathing wolf, not someone who is a dog." Everyone was quiet at this point and even Adeline understood the gravity of the situation.

And since no one spoke up, she couldn't help but ask, "So what now?"

"We-"

"Nothing!" Christine jumped in. With the incredulous look that Marshal sent her way, she explained further or more like told them what to do. "Nothing. I mean it. We do nothing."

Elizabeth, shakily, from her side popped up. "But why not? It's a wolf. We saw the mutilated bodies Christie if anything we should be reporting it."

"Yes but," Christine tsked in irritation. "Okay Marshall," she turned to him, "are you sure that you saw a wolf and not a dog who could not be as friendly as the others we have always seen?"

Marshall did not reply instantly. He hesitated and further proved the point of Christine.

"See!" She pointed it at him. "How are we suppose to tell anyone when we are not sure about what exactly we saw?" She had probed it and this time even Marshall nodded along with her. "They would send out search parties but in the end, we would be the kids that just wanted some kind of attention."

"We would.." Elizabeth agreed. "Marshall, if you do not feel safe then I could pick you up as well."

He thought about it and then nodded. "I appreciate that."

Silence once again blanketed them. They all were thinking about different things.

Marshall was still wondering if he has seen a dog or a wolf.

Christine was thinking about how they could avoid the whole confrontation with the mayor.

Elizabeth wondered what would happen if it was a wolf. That was punishable. 

And Adaline was waiting impatiently thinking when they get out of this room and the awful silence.

"I think we should go," Adeline whispered with the given silence. "The first class would be starting any minute."

They all sullenly nodded and moved along.

Adeline wondered what history they all were talking about.

History with wolves.
