Adeline was lying down in her bed with Xavier. Her head was on his naked just as they have had another around in the bed. She could not just get enough of him. The wanton self of her could not let go of the man without having him again and again. Everything did something the feelings were intensified than before.

She was obsessed.

​​

He was running his fingers on the length of her arm. She was exceptionally beautiful and damn she knew how to ride him.

Little Virgin was no less than a professional bull rider. She took him with ease and fit him like a glove, snug and tight. Her breasts bounced in front of him and he found his mouth watering at the sight of it.

"Did you take your medicines on time?" He asked as he kissed her forehead, keeping his lips close to her head as he murmured the words. Instead of her natural scent, the scent of medication had taken over and he hated it. For him, it stank and he wanted the mangos back.

She nodded and then giggled as she thought of something. "Were you not supposed to ask me that when you came?"

He scoffed and then smirked as he got up and hovered over her. "I wanted to but someone had already jumped on me." He leaned down and started to kiss her neck making her shiver in pleasure.

That was true. She had been very active sexually and it was certainly the best experience she has ever had. She would love to do it all over and over again.

He pulled back with a sigh and she immediately looked at him as he sat on the edge of the bed, wearing his clothes. Her arousal was once again in the air and it was getting difficult for him without having her touch. She was weak and this was as far as he could go while being careful and until she wore his mark. That's was to make her body change and be stronger to take him while mating where most likely his beast would take over and she would be carrying a child.

But she was too weak, especially right now. She was injured and on medication.

And he was guilty of not telling her but he couldn't until he had the okay from his uncle. The king.

"What happened?" She was wet. She needed him. She blinked at him and that would have been his undoing but his self-control was stronger than this.

He shook his head and looked pained. "You are weak at the moment and I do not want to overwork you and tire you out. I think you should rest." He leaned over and kissed her forehead.

He got up as he wore his sweats and left the room making Adeline drown in hurt.

The feeling of rejection flooded and tears gathered in her eyes. Somehow she felt that she was not good enough for him.

What had happened? Everything was okay . . So how in a matter of moments had she been rejected.

She sniffed and buried her head into the pillow crying. How could this happen? Was she not good enough?

Xavier was already downstairs when he heard russelling them the sheets of sheets automatically knew that she was awake and it was probably getting dressed up because of which he continued making her sandwich.

He heard a sniffle. Frowning, he focused more on the sound and he heard more. He immediately left the kitchen and moved up. His mate was crying.

"Baby," he took her into his arms and didn't mind the snot and tears into his shirt. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you somehow?!" He rubbed her back and tried his best to make her comfortable. Also, he discreetly scanned the area for any threats.

The worse could that she was in pain. He had the car parked outside.

She shook her head crying but didn't pull apart.

"Baby, you need to tell me." He cooed at her.

"Y-you," she cried into his neck-breaking heart. "You rejected me." She declared making him freeze.

Fuck, he realised. The band was taking over for her. This was wrong, so, so wrong.

But that also meant that she had genuine feelings for him because of which it was easy for the mate bond to act so quickly. Mate bond couldn't have attracted her if she did not have any feelings for him.

But she was not aware and he had been on enough guilt for having sex with her without having her know about the truth of this world, about him.

"Adeline, I didn't reject you. I only care about you which led to thinking that if I go, I could hurt you somehow and the fact that you are fractured scares me." He kissed her forehead and took a tissue to wipe the tears and snot. "What if I hurt you and your recovery could take even more time."

"I'd be fine." She sniffed. "I'll be homeschooled. Papa's thinking about it. I think we would talk about it more today."

Homeschooling? That only satisfied his instinct even more. Adeline would stay at home where no one could hurt her. She won't drive and this accident would never happen again.

It satisfied every protective instinct of his. This was perfect. She would be in front of him and would be fully protected.

He wanted her safe and sound and the home would be best. His mate had to be protected and safe and sound.

He was a dominant alpha wolf and he was protective of this female especially when she has sick and hurt. Wounded she was and he didn't even know. He made him even more protective of her.

"Yes," he kissed her forehead. "It homeschooling, that would be best." For the both of us.

A small thunder broke them apart and Adeline blushed. This was embarrassing to say the least.

"Hungry, aren't we?" Xavier teased. "What can I get you?'

She smiled and showed her full set of teeth. "Grilled cheese?"

And he made those.

She sat on the counter easting and he cleaned up the mess I had made while cooking. Maybe, he should have ordered from outside.

"Xavier," he looked at to continue, "How's it going for you?"

He chuckled. "Everything's good. Why?" Except I've never washed dishes and I'm royal blood but. . . nevermind.

"Just. . . " She sighed and he glanced at her. She was glancing around the rooms and he could smell the anxiousness coming from her.

"What is it?" He washed his hands and took the towel to dry them as he walked to her. "Tell me, love." He threw the towel over his shoulder.

"Umm," she perked at him and finally gathered the courage to ask, "Wha—I am going to go to Yale. That's where my parents met. I mean both of them went to an Ivy League school, so I want to go to one too."

He raised a brow, "And?"

"I want you to apply for that school too." She blurted out. "That's what we can be together."

That would be him committing a crime against his own country.

He gave her a tight-lipped smile. "I'll see."

*********

She was right. As he stood outside the house, in the woods, he could hear them talk about homeschooling but you could also hear that Adaline was not as excited as he thought she would be.

"But . . . I am completing the homework as of now and after a month or two I can join to school bag. So there is no point for me to continue homeschooling." She argued.

Jason was pretty upset because he didn't reply. "It is not the one month that I am talking about, after this it's going to take more therapy for you to start walking again."

Adeline won't need it. Her senses and healing were being enhanced after she had mated with him. If she was marked, those would have doubled.

"Kid, I want you to take this year off. Your leg and arm are going to need rest, meds and then therapy. One was cut through and the other twisted, it's not a joke."

"But papa," she whined, "I need—"

"I said it's no a joke, Damn it!" He yelled all of a sudden and he could feel the pick up in Adeline's heartbeat.

She was scared and he was an inch away from barging into her home. His mate felt threatened but this was for her good. If Jason Woods stepped ahead of the line then Xavier would make sure that he would never be able to open his eyes again.

"It's not a joke kid. Your mother died in a car accident and I'll be damned if anything happened or you." Xavier heard a screeching sound and footsteps. "You are taking the year of this is the last time they are discussing it." He heard a door close and a sniffle.

At least his mate was protected now. He moved back and ran to his own home.
