Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 260 - Just Talking - I



He was already reaching the end of the hallway when Adelaine had to run to catch up to him. Sometimes he was the most concerned because for her she had never known even more than her father at times and the others he would not even— it was frustrating to say the least. 

She caught up to him only for him to hold her hand as he took her up some stairs. 

Now he wanted to hold her hand? What about running away from her? 

Adelen lost count after going above the second floor. "What floor do we have to go on?" 

"Fifth." He answered. 

She huffed. 

Finally reaching on the floor while almost pulling on his hand for strength, Adelene let go of his hand and sat down on a random step finally having enough of it. 

"Adaline," Xavier whispered harshly, "we are almost on the floor. Could you please take a few more steps?" 

She heaved as she shook her head. She was not meant for physical activities. She was completely not built for this. "I can\'t." She huffed. 

Xavier glared at her before huffing himself bending down, placing one of his arms underneath her knees and one behind her back and picked her up in his arms. He climbed up the stairs and a few ones that were left. Only six to be exact. 

"One, two, three, four, five and six," he stared at her in his arms pointedly, "this was what was left for you to climb." 

"Yup, couldn\'t," she shook her head, "No way, would have died completely." Adeline said with complete confidence in her voice. 

He stared at her with an unimpressive expression on his face before shaking his head and looking ahead. He came to stop in front of a door and placed her down on her feet gently. "This is where you are going to go. I am going to be in the room adjacent to you." He pointed to the one beside her. "If you do get out of it before I do, I want you to wait in this hallway. Is that alright?" 

She nodded. It was not like Adelaide knew the way out of this temple or anything. She had to wait for him. 

"Go in," he pointed to the door. 

When he said that Adeline turned around to look at the door up and down. It was made out of thick wood. She was not even sure if she could open it on her own. Not only that but she was wayy too sure that Xavier would not hear a word that would happen in this room. What if someone killed her inside? 

She turned back around to face him and shook her head. She was not going in there. 

He huffed. "Why not?"

"Too many reasons?" 

He nodded before bending down and throwing her over his back. He opened the door with one hand while Adeline recovered from the shock and by the time she opened her mouth to talk she was already placed on the ground. 

What the fuck? This guy always forced her to abuse And Adaline did not like that. 

"This is Adeline Korr." Xavier introduced someone standing behind her and Adeline turned around to see a woman. 

"I am aware of her highness\'s presence," the woman bowed, "I am Gemmika." 

"Gemmika?" Adeline repeated. " I have heard that for the first time." 

The woman smiled, "The pleasure is all mine then. Shall we?" She said as she pointed to the empty seats. It was a small round table but there were no chairs. With the rugs on the carpet Adeline could tell that they had to sit down and talk. 

"Umm," she looked at Xavier who gave her an encouraging look.

He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "remember we are here to reach somewhere." He placed a kiss on her forehead before exiting the room without glancing back at her. 

He didn\'t even look back. 

"We can address issues like that first," Adeline turned around when Gemmika said, "please have a seat." She pointed to the one in front. 

Adaline gulped but did as told. Gemmika sat in front of her while tucked her legs underneath. It was more of a Japanese style that she had taken a seat in while Adaline sat in Indian style cross, legged and comfortable. Adelen knew that with the fat inside her and the lack of exercise she would never be comfortable even for 10 seconds while sitting like that. 

"What did you think of when he closed the door?" Gemmika tilted her as a serious expression came to her face, " I want to know what you are sort of because you were staring at the door, what a sullen expression. Why are you not aware that you were just going to meet me alone in this room?" 

"I was aware," Adelene answered truthfully. 

"Then what was it?" 

Adeline licked her lip, "He did not turn back to look at me and I don\'t know why that hurt." 

Gemmika nodded. "Apart from that I would like to begin how I begin with others. I can sense your aura. I can tell you whether you\'re lying or not and that I can do it without having to check your heartbeat. Me along with many others have the gift of the goddess to dig deep into your mind and find out what these concerns are ."

" Why is it you and many others but not anyone like. . ." Adelen snapped her fingers as she looked for the correct word that she was thinking about. It was almost on the tip of her tongue. 

"Anyone like you is not at the temple?" Gemmika completed and Adeline confirmed. "That could be because when you are blessed with something something else is taken away from you. In this case my mate was taken away from me too soon to be true." 

Adeline frowned upon that. " How is it that you thought of helping others when you were robbed of something that was meant for you?" 

Gemmika let out a smile. " And why you thought of that question is what we are going to work upon."
