Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 360 – Adaline, The Queen – II

Hearing thousands, probably millions of howls in the air made her smile. Today, she was not afraid of them, like she had been three years ago, but instead, felt the waves of protection, love, pride, gratitude and last but the most important, hope. 

Adaline felt overwhelmed by the amount of emotions thrown her way. The connection she had started to feel was more established even more firmly and with a concrete footing. Every emotion was highlighted and it was towards her. 

She sighed little, wanting the pressure to be taken away but it was swallowed by the howls. 

Strong but familiar hands gripped her shoulders and helped her rise. Balancing a heavy jeweled crown on her head was not easy. It was extremely heavy and now, as she realised, she should have practised walking with it on her head before.

Xavier was the one who helped her back to her feet. As the custom demanded it was the king who Let The Queen to her chair that was beside him. They were equal and that is why their chairs were of equal length and width. 

Slowly he turned her around just before her chair and smiled. "My dear queen." He placed a soft case on her forehead and their crowns clinked together. 

She grinned and laughed silently and happiness. He pulled back and she finally lowered herself to her seat; the seat of the queen. 

Right beside her, the king took his throne, that was when Adaline really looked forward and realized that everyone was still on their needs dent in front of them with their heads bowed. 

They were bowing in front of the king and their queen.

The day carried on with more celebrations than ever before. This stopped by the balcony and the crowd erupted in chills when this showed the king and the queen together, with crowns on their heads. 

No one had forgotten the crowns won by the previous monarchs and the fact that both of them had chosen to carry On The legacy you with the same crowns of the king and queen before them, symbolised the bridge between the past and the present. 

Adaline smiled at the loud crowd in front of them waving their hands madly, trying to get their attention and changing the words long Live The Alpha king and queen. 

Perhaps this had been her destiny for a long time. Her destiny had been to stand by his side as his equal, as his support; someone who would provide him with the shoulder when he needed it and definitely as the Queen of a country. 

Not only a normal completely human country but a magical world filled with people that could change into anything they wanted. 

Maybe that would also explain why she had to go through so many changes in her life. She needed to be strong enough to battle her way through as a Queen. 

All the events that she had come past, winning from them and learning, had made her come to where she was today and this was here, waving at the people with the Crown over her head and a king by her side. 

Xavier gave them a short speech and in the end told them to enjoy the feast that was going to be carried out for an entire week before escorting her back inside. 

He leaned down to her ear and whispered, "you have to meet a few people; ambassadors and different kings and Queens. Are you ready?" 

Adaline nodded. She would have given him a smile but according to Mrs brawn there was a professional smile and a personal, full of love, smile. She had not perfected it but perhaps the fact that she had just gotten crowned as the queen explained why she was grinning like an idiot. 

This time they were going towards the main courtroom, the room where they had also gotten officially mated in. 

Now it was filled with people and by the looks of it they were very different from them. 

Xavier led them to the first person in the front which happened to be a very pale looking man and someone she knew yet was afraid. 

"Cassius," Xavier nodded, "meet my mate Adaline." 

Adaline gulped when she saw his eyes Twinkle. King Cassius of vampires was actually more like Nathaniel than she would like to agree. They shared the same father and the features had definitely turned up. 

"Hello," he purred and held her hand, "your highness—'

Xavier's growl cut him off, "cut it out, Erasmus, and go back to your brother." 

The man who looked like Cassius to her gave her a full-toothed smile before he completely changed into someone else. 

"I apologise my king," his eyes moved to her, "Queen." He addressed them. "The ceremony turned quite boring after you left. So, I thought of adding a bit of fun." 

"Fun would be me having a sip of your shapeshifting blood," another Cassius appearing man arrived, joinimg their small group. "I wonder if it would change tastes like you change your face.' 

Erasmus gave him a small controlled smile before he gave a deep bow to the king and queen and left. 

"Queen Adaline," Cassius bowed a little, "congratulations on your meeting and coordination. My land is famous for its silk and I hope you like it."

"Thank you." She nodded and gulped a little. The pale white skin of his made her fear him slightly. If that was not enough then the resemblance he had to Nathaniel drove her crazy. 

Cassius's eyes glanced at Xavier before he said, "I apologize for what my brother has done to you." He exhaled softly. "I am trying my best to find him along with the sources of your mate. However it has been surprisingly difficult but I promise you, this time he will not harm you." 

Adaline of five years ago would have trusted him immediately but this Adaline was different. Even if every word dripped of sincerity and truth, she did not put her trust in him and his words because it did not take a lot for anyone to fade. 

She thanked him again and Xavier escorted her to another pair of king and queen, whom she greeted with a smile and realised that this was going to take a long time to be over.
