Adeline\'s grip tightened on the pen. She could not help but keep on thinking about last night. She had to do something about it. Even though Adrian was not clear in what he was telling her Adeline that there was something she could do about it which only made her keep on thinking about it. 

She sighed and placed the pen back in the notebook before closing it shut. Maybe there was something she could do about it.

"It\'s been such a long time. I really missed you Adelene!" Patty smiled and hugged her. "I am so happy that you decided to meet."

Adeline smiled politely. "How have you been Patty?"

"Good," Patty replied, "just aiding Augustus in his work." Not really. She had been doing the work of what Adaline was supposed to do. She was able to assist Adeline in just as her mate was assisting the king. But since Adeline was not there Patricia and Elizabeth were completing the work. 

Adeline nervously began, "do you know what happened with Noah? The Vampire that had kidnapped me?" 

Patricia was instantly taken aback by what Adeline had asked. She had in no way when expecting something like this to turn up. "Adeline, did you see someone regarding that? Did he contact you somehow?" She immediately went into protective mode for her Luna. The Luna was to be protected at all costs. 

" No, no," Adeline denied quickly, not ready to let go of the main information Just here, "I was just asking out of curiosity."

"You\'re lying," the hair on the back of her next to repair the voice and the words, "your heartbeat and your scent tells me that you are lying, Adeline." 

Her breath hitched. The reason for months of heartache stood behind her and she did not want to turn back. She fisted her hands tightly as they were trembling. 

"Your Highness," Patricia stood up and bowed respectfully to the king just as any other person did in the cafe. It was just Adeline that was seated and she is not ignored by people. 

"Would you all be kind enough to leave us alone in the cafe?" Everyone walked out of the cafe at once. It was not a request and that knew that. The king had just been kind enough to politely order them. 

He took seat in front of her and Adeline immediately noticed the change in him. He looked bigger and more muscular. Instead of being the 20 year old she knew Xavier now seemed like a fully grown wrestler. 

"Adeline," he nodded to her and she just continued to stare at him as if she could not believe her eyes. As if she could not believe @that he was really standing there in front of her. 

She gulped. 

"Tell me," he said but she could see that he was far from the calm voice that seemed, his jaw had tightened as he spoke, "who was that you were talking to last night in your room?" 

She stopped breathing for a second or two. How did he know that? "Are you having me followed?" 

He smirked and her heart almost melted then and there but she kept her resolve strong. 

In his heavy voice he replied, "I do not need to have my mate followed. the entire nation will protect you." 

She looked away. Even the staff that left expect two. 

"What do you want?" She went directly to the point. "How did you know about that?" 

He leaned back into the chair. "There is a flower rare amongst the other worlds but seasonal here. You must have found that on your windows seal. Did you like that?" 

Her forehead creased slightly. "You left in there?" She remembered the flower. It was still kept on her table. 

He nodded. "Yes, I kept it there." 

"Oh," she said awkwardly, not knowing how to proceed with this conversation. "Why?" 

"Because I was coming to talk to you when I found you alone with a man in your room barely dressed." His eyes were visibly darkened. "You just had a towel covering yourself. " 

She gulped at the look given. "I noticed that when he was gone. He was too panicked for me to notice anything else." 

"Panicked about what?" He spoke up instantly. 

It was then she realised that this was the chance to make the same mistake again and again and lose people all over again or just be straight and truthful. 

"He told me the person he was working for is no longer there. He told me that Nathaniel was just gone." She revealed and his eyes flashed golden.

She knew about this. Her uncle had time and again mentioned to stay away from a wolf and Lycan when the colour of their eyes changed. It meant that the beast was over taking and as a human she would never be able to fight back or at least even defend herself. 

But the problem was her uncle had told her to discreetly move away from the side whereas Xavier was sitting right in front of her. She knew better than to run in front of an angry animal. 

"Xavier," she whispered and took the chance to do something she had seen a lot of people do. She placed her hand on hairs and gently caressed his skin, "please calm down." 

"Calm down?" He repeated but at least his voice was back to normal for stop she had noticed the difference in voice when the beast took over. 

"Yes," she said in a gentle and soothing voice. "I think this time we can do better." 

"Better what?" He repeated with the tilt of his head. "You are supposed to call your uncle or even the butler or any god that you could find one that men entered your room. But you were stupidly making conversations with him. Do you have any idea how easily he could have overpowered you?" The low growling indicated that he was angry. The amber in his eyes told her that it was not going to work out in her favour.
