Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Tessa covered herself more in the blankets. She realised how everything was much more comfortable for her. From the colour cloth of the bed sheets to the silverware that they used for eating everything seems to be much better in quality. 

But now she had completely woken up and staying in bed no longer seems to be interesting or even necessary. Even though she no longer works and had no idea what her previous life in. . .earth had been through she got a from the bear and went into the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. 

​​

Coming back to the room she moves to her closet only to shriek back in fright. "Korr!" She yelled at the man who was lying down at the foot of a bed. 

"Hello mate," he grinned, "Good morning." 

"Good mor— what are you doing here?!" She stared at him with wide eyes at where he was lying down. "Why are you in my room?" 

He stood up and towered her completely. "It is the bond, my mate. It is easier for you but it gets just as difficult for me and my beast. I knew I could not touch you in your sleep that is why I could only sleep on the floor to be as close to you as I could." 

Tessa knew what he was talking about. He was talking about the made bond which everyone had explained to her repeatedly. It was not that she had not understood it in one go but Tessa wanted to make sure that everyone was telling her the right thing and no one was living out any other detail necessary for her to learn. 

"Korr," she sighed and sat down on the bed, "you agreed to give me time. You agreed to give me my own room but you can\'t just come in without my knowledge and stay by my bed on the floor and sleep the night away. That is an invasion of my privacy."

She watched him gulp and glance at the other areas of the room. He was clearly thinking about what to say. "Well I guess I am guilty of that. I have waited for a long time and truth be told the wait is only killing me now more than it did before. You are in front of me but ever so more unreachable just like before. It is not easy for me to control." 

"Just like you asked the king to send me home instead of being there for adaline? She has woken up for a week and I have not met her yet!" She snapped. Her eyes placed in anger as her small nose started to turn red. Tessa was angry and her facial expressions only conveyed that further. 

He thinned his lips. "I did not ask him to send you away. I did not have to because it is understandable that we were newly. . . That I had just found you when I wanted to spend time with you but I was respecting your wishes of being with your knees and since the king was not there he agreed to it. But now he is there and he wants to look after his mate." 

She scoffed, " so what now because of him I become an answer that never meets her knees? A distant aunt that only travels one day of the month to meet her child?" She barked out, " I am the only family she has left and trust wishes and the only one who she is ever going to trust again." 

" Well I don\'t care." He shrugged, " she is your responsibility but she is someone else\'s made now. She is his responsibility more than she is yours and now you are mindful stop you should focus on me more than—"

" No!" 

" Because one day we are going to have a family as well." Without giving her interruption a second thought he continued to talk and then finished his words. Looking at her pointedly he said, " I understand that this is difficult for you to understand Teresa. But by now you should make up your mind that you\'re not leaving. It has been months for you to arrive here and you have seen that there is no way to go back to your realm." 

Tessa tore her eyes away from him and sniffed. It was so hard for them to understand that she had been there all her life and now they placed the concept of the supernatural on her and Adeline\'s plates. It was difficult to understand, let alone eat it.

"You don\'t understand. ."

"I do." He said and her head snapped towards his. By his from expression Tessa could see that he was not lying. "They have been human males brought before you and we all know how it ends. U i just a hair forcefully or you just end up loving your made because we are truly compatible and a lot to each other by the goddess. The latter happens more than the former and it would be better for you if you just accept it."

"They accept it?" She wondered out loud. "Why?" 

"Did not get me wrong here, my dear mate. Did you fight to the heart\'s content but at the end of the day did you start feeling towards the mail that has been bestowed on them by the goddess. If you allow me, you would never regret that decision and as for me bringing you forcefully I am ready to atone for that." 

" Bu—" she began to talk again but he raised a finger, silencing her effectively.

She frowned and was ready to snap at him for his action when they heard a knock. She rolled her eyes and obviously he had heard someone coming to them. 

"Come in," he commanded and a male servant entered. 

"Sir, Madam," He greeted both of them but did not bother to look up to the lady of the house. "The queen mother is here to meet lady Quill."

"Does he mean Cassandra?" Tessa whispered immediately to Korr who nodded. 

"Yes, the queen mother." He corrected her gently. "Send for the maids," he said to the man who nodded and walked out. 

Tessa looked at Korr who nodded, "You must get dressed immediately. It is the queen mother that has come to meet you after all." 

She watched him go into her wardrobe and check out a few dresses. What she was going to wear was the least of her concerns. What concern had the most was why Cassandra had come here and if Adaline was in any kind of emergency.
