Chapter 357 – Her Husband – II
Korr stood at the ned of her stair and for a quick second, she saw her father instead of him. Maybe, it was a message?
He held out his hand for her and she took it gratefully. Tripping over the beautiful dress was the last thing she was.
"You look very, very beautiful Adaline," Koor praised and held her hand in both of his.
"More than my aunt?" she teased.
He chuckled, "Don\'t tell her but yes, even more than her."
It was hard to keep the smile off of her face when she heard that. "Did you know?" she waved around the house and asked. He must have a clue about it.
Korr nodded, confirming her suspicions. "Yes, however, I was informed this morning. So, go easy on me, yeah?"
She nodded and the mood sobered up before the situation dawned on her. "What is going on?" Even though she knew the house that she stood in, it was difficult to figure the entire thing out.
It was right in front of her but the one thing she wanted was to not dream high.
"I think you should see it with your eyes." Korr held out his elbow in her direction. "I knew we were not off to the best start but would you give me the honour?"
God, why was this day full of tears?
She waved him off and took his elbow. " I know you after a bad start but I could not have asked for a better uncle for my aunt and me." He was perfect.
He stepped back slowly and adaland took in the house that was the same as she had left it. The kitchen looked the same and the glasses that she made sure were always beside the sink were there. It was as if nothing had moved, not even the curtains.
Not even a flower petal on the centre table that looked like it was fresh from the field.
Slowly and much to her surprise they worked out towards the French doors into the small garden where Adaline found the eyes she had been looking for.
She found all the answers as well.
There he stood at the end of the garden in a black tux and black bow tie with a flower on his breast pocket.
Xavier stared at her and just her. It made her feel like she was the only person for him and that was real.
Her eyes glanced below on the grass. The path that she and her uncle were walking on had rose petals on them.
Holding onto the bouquet, she let the smile take over her face as they neared him. The garden was not big and maybe after 5 to 10 steps they reached her king.
"Hi," she whispered before her uncle had handed her hand to him.
"Hello you," he winked back, the smile on leaving his face.
Korr waited for them And only when Xavier turned to his direction did his smile vanish and his face don\'t serious.
"I understand you very well that you are my king and I am loyal to you," Korr said, "but if my daughter ever faces any problem because of you or if you fail to protect her, I will not think twice before taking her away."
Adaline had read about alpha\'s and their behaviour when they felt that they mate was threatened.
To say that they went on a rampage would be to put it lightly.
Her eyes darted back and forth between her uncle and saviour. She did expect him to attack because that was in his nature and nature did not change in a day.
"I expect you to." Xavier nodded at him before he turned to her and took his her hands in his own.
He helped her to stand in front of him and all this while did not take his eyes of her.
"This is my house," she told him softly, Just wanting it to be in between them. "This is the house where I met you."
"I know." He kissed her hand. "I wanted to make it as special as I could. This is the place where are journey began twice and I want another one to begin here."
"The first one began when I met you, in this town and the second one began when you brought me here to your father\'s grave." He kissed her head again. "I want us to be married here and begin one more journey."
Her vision started to blur and blinked away the tears not wanting the eye make up to ruin. Adaline sniffed and turned to look at the house and away from him. "How did you manage to get the house empty?" Because as she remembered, the last time they wer here someone was occupying it.
Instead of answering her directly he leaned in and placed his lips next to her ear as he whispered the answer, "Because I can."
A shiver went up her spine and she shivered visibility. Why did these three words sound so.. powerful? It turned her on knowing that he could dominate his way through and her mind flashed with the images of what they had done in the past.
"Come," his kissed his cheek and she heard a throat clearing making her jump. "Let me give you a human wedding just off your dreams." He bopped her nose. "A small, intimate wedding just with people that truly care."
Adaline turned her face to look at whom he had invited to the wedding. It was her aunt and uncle along with Jenna standing with an older man who she knew was her husband and her uncle\'s father.
Then was his own family and there were only extended to a certain level and all of them were the people she knew.
Even Elisabeth, Patricia, Augustus and Dylan were here.
She turned back to him and nodded.
Taking it as a sign to begin, the priest started. "We gathered here today.."
Adaline tuned him out and only focused on the person most important to her.
Xavier, her husband, her mate and most importantly, her Alpha king.
