Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Consciousness came and she blinked beofre grimacing. There was a headache coming in and now, she was wanting to sleep even more. Even though she knew that she was on ice it was still comfortable for her and if she closed her eyes for a few moments and Adeline knew that she would fall asleep. She opened her eyes and saw the dying bonfire which only had smoke coming out of it and some coal that was still burning giving out slight warmth. She relised it. The silence was amzing to be in and the almost out bonfire which gave out want it was so soothing it to watch. 

She could never have imagined that watching something burn and destruct could also be soothing. 

To be honest all of this was slightly comfortable, she twisted a little and saw the stars which were littered across the sky and for the first time she felt at ease more than she had been ever in the past seven months. It felt natural the ship is now connected to nature and wanted to be even more. 

All of this seemes to be peaceful and almost natural to be connected to nature. Maybe her aunt was right, trips like these were the best in nature and sometimes help to get in the right shape of mind. 

A perfect retreat it was. 

She sighed and shifted uncomfortably. Now it was not that nice. Sleeping on snow that was shrinking beneath her was not the best idea especially when the wind blew and made her shiver in the cold. There were still in a freezing cold temperature. 

Also, it was understood that Emma and Abigail would just friends for the trip but we should have book on her when she was sleeping because no one was talking around her and it was pretty much safe to assume that they had all retired for the night. It made her second guess her friendship choices.

She felt something cold on the base of the neck and hand immediately reached for The crescent pendant. She could not believe that she had allowed Abigail to make her wear it. It seemed to so surreal to wear it again given that it was dealing with the death of her father and to the species that have caused the death.

She sighed got up only to stare at everyone.

"What the. . . ?" Her face crunched up in curiosity and confusion as she looked around her to find the people that had come with head sleeping around in a circle just like she had been.

They all did kinda look like they were dead to the world which made her slightly worried but it was an open sky and there were in a clearing so she wondered if it was a normal thing to do.

She looked around and found the tour guides.

'Maybe if I wake up Maya she would tell me if we wake up all of them or not.' but sleeping outside also seemed like a slightly dangerous option as it was still words and it was full of snow. Also, the skies where not clear. It could rain or snow could fall anytime soon.

She stood up and quietly walked to the women shaking her gently. "Hey, Maya? Wake up." She whispered mindful enough not to wake anyone else.

She shook her again when she didn't even move. What was happening? How the hell was Maya not waking up. Was she that of a heavy sleeper? 

Adeline glanced around her, everyone seemed to be in deep sleep. How was it that no one had woken up? She frowned. By the way everyone was drinking it was obvious that one of them would need to use the washroom anytime soon which is why she thought about waiting so that they could go together. 

A little irritated to why no one was awake and so was Maya she pushed her a little harder causing her to fall down.

Adeline moved immediately, "Shit! Sorry, May—" she stopped.

Maya had still not moved or even woken up after falling from her chair. This was not good Adeline realised and just to be sure that this has not taken the worst turn ever she went forward and checked.

Her hand was shaking for what she was about to do because the outcome of it could seriously change her reality. Because if this was the reality then there might be a possibility that she was surrounded by nothing but dead bodies. 

She placed her two fingers, index and middle finger together beneath Maya's nose.

She didn't feel it.

Her heart stilled.

There was a possibility that her hand was too cold to feel so she took the water bottle that was kept on the feet of the chair and wet her fingers before placing her fingers underneath Maya's nose.

There was no wind but then she thought that perhaps it was too cold for her to feel anything. So she left her fingers and then again placed it beneath Maya's nose but she did not feel anything. 

"No, no . . . No. . " The word left her mouth as if a mantra. She prayed that it was in true and immediately went to her husband to see if he was alive or not.

Her hands were shaking more than ever as she placed them underneath Mr. Mose's nose.

She felt nothing on her finger.

With a hurry for life, she pulled up his shirt and placed her fingers on his wrist to get a reading for his heartbeat.

Nothing. Yet she waited as she cksoed herb

"Please. . . Please. . Please. ." She whispered like a chant as tears came to her eyes in panic. "What's happening?" She looked around for help.

No one was awake and Mr. Mose had did not have a heartbeat. Should she try cpr? Would it work or were they too far gone?! 

I desperation, she moved to her friend. "Ab-Abhigail!" She ran to her and shook her. "Abigail! Wake up, at least you wake up!" She begged. "Please. . ." Àdeline cried as she shook her friends.

What was happening? She whimpered. 

Just like Mr. Mose and Maya, Abigail's body shook and fell to the ground too making Adeline close her eyes and cry.

She stepped back hurriedly but ended up falling down yet crawled away.

"How. . How?" She whispered as she looked at all of them. How were they all dead? Why was none of them waking up all even breathing? But that could not be true one of them for some at least have to be alive from a group of thirty people!

She got up almost falling down once again but took control of her body and walked to a boy who was telling them a story about racism. Unlike Abigail and the couple that were their trip guides, the boy was lying down on the floor as if dead asleep. She truly home that he was not that to the world as he looked like but by the looks of it and the colour of his lips which was turning purple it was hard to believe. 

"Hey, hey! Wake up!" She shook his body but he didn't wake up. "What in the world is going on?!" She yelled looking around her. "What is happening?" She whimpered and cupped her mouth. Nothing made sense. Why were they not waking up? 

What happened in the duration of which that she has fallen asleep and now that she had woken up that none of the 30 people surrounding over waking up and did not even have a heartbeat?! 

"Wake up!" She yelled at the top of her voice so that if anyone could hear they would wake up. "Please! Someone!" She screamed. 

It was not just one of them but all of them that were not breathing and moving which was really scaring her. 

"Please . . " She cried in the end. "How were all of them. . .dead?" 

"Are you scared?" She heard someone and immediately looked into the direction of someone walking into the clearing from the forest. "I mean I would too, I am surrounded by thirty dead people." He chuckled as if it had nothing but a muse him to the greatest degree. Adeline noticed how his eyes had a slight shine to them something that she had never noticed and somehow they had even changed to a lighter colour. 

Noah. .? "You?" She pointed at him and then looked around her at everyone else. Everyone else was dead to the world and it was only him that was awake and looking at her with amusement. 

Adeline immediately ran to him and held his collar as she begged for his help. "Please! We must do something hardly. They are all dead. Where were you?!" She yelled at him. Why was he the alone individual that was coming out of the forest where all of them falling their dead to the world?! 

He sighed and he gave her tight lipped smiled before slapping her and making her fall on the ground by the impact of it.
