Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate
Chapter 9 - Math's "X"

"Okay, so mushrooms or broccoli?" Jason asked while holding out the packed veggies for her to see.

Adeline turned around, startled at the question her father had asked her. She looked at him and the surroundings he was in. Standing in front of the fridge he had broccoli in one hand and the mushrooms in the other.

"I just had my first day of school, how can you even have the audacity to ask me about veggies?" She retorted back while throwing her hands up in the air. "Gimme chocolates and junk!" Jason was highly amused. His daughter surely had been attentive in English to use a word like 'audacity'.

Jason playfully glared back. Placing one hand over his hip he spoke, "You surely have learnt a lot of English, why don't you go practice maths?"

She stared at him for a few seconds and then replied "Are you telling me to do my homework and taunting me?"

"I might not say it because you are responsible enough to do it, doesn't mean I can't tell you to do something at all. I am your parent I can say whatever I want," He shrugged without care. Adele stared at him for a few minutes, shook her head and walked upstairs. Settling down on the table and chair, she pulled out the least favourite subject first; Mathematics.

'All the gods above, please tell me what's the X today.' She prayed.

Sighing she shook her head and started the first problem.

"Dinner's ready, its octopus and snails" Jason yelled from the kitchen, snorting in the end.

Adele rolled her eyes, and yelled back in a playful tone "You do know that nobody finds you funny right?" She ran downstairs into the kitchen and saw her father frozen on spot. He was not moving.

He turned around slowly, eyes wide and shakily brought his hand up to his heart. Adeline was sacred now. He was shaking with something unknown to her and she was shaking from fear. "D—dad are you okay? Do I call someone right now?123?" He didn't respond immediately and stood still making adeline's heart beat inhumanely quicker.
