Fuck, she should have been expecting that. 

She was unable to find him and he was in the middle of a meeting. So, at the end Adeline had decided that it would be better if she told his parents who she had easily found in the tea parlour where she was going and decided to get on with the day. 

The heavy footfall validated the fact that Xavier was coming closer. Also that he was slightly angry because he was practically shoving his feet into the ground. 

His angry face appeared and he stood right in front of her. Now that she was sitting down Xavier seemed to like a giant. 

"You could not wait until I finished my meetings?" He was scowling at her. That was enough for Adaline to know that he was slightly angry and slightly was putting it very lightly. 

She stretched her lips in displeasure. "Do you know that you took most of the day to get finished with them? I read a lot by that time." 

She waved her hand around at the table that was covered with a bunch of books. Half of them were open and the rest were closed.

He clicked his tongue in annoyance before his hands went to her waist and he picked her up. He sat down on the chair that she had previously been occupying and then made her sit on his lap. 

This did not go unnoticed by Adelene who knew exactly what he was doing. 

"You behave like a petty boyfriend at times." She committed her observation loudly, making him pinch her waist and narrow his eyes. 

"Hey!" She yelped. "Why?!" 

He chuckled but did not answer her. Instead his eyes went to the books that were randomly placed upon the table. "What have you been reading about?" 

Adelene pursued her lips slightly. "The ceremony that you told me about in the morning." 

If possible she actually felt him stiffen underneath her. It was like for a second she knew that he did not want this to happen. 

"What is it?" She murmured gently. "You know, you have to tell me what you're thinking." 

Adaline did not remove her eyes from his face as she asked him what was wrong. This had been a never-ending tale where they never told each other what they wanted or what they were feeling inside.

For example, even after her continuous efforts Xavier never gave in and it was later realized that it was the guilt that was eating him on the inside. 

This was something that Adeline never wanted to go through again. 

After a while he finally spoke up, "I did not want to force you, Adeline." 

It did not matter if you did not want to force her because this was something that every shifter wanted. Even if it was someone who was a lone wolf in a pack, it was written clearly that they also released the feeling of the ceremony being held in their honor. 

"The beast inside you," she charged his chest as if making contact with the beast inside him, "what does he want?" 

He chuckled at her innocence before it became a full blown laugh. "Why would you think that the beast is inside me?" 

The frown became more evident. If it was not inside him then where was the beast? 

"I am the beast, Adeline." He answered softly, trying not to startle her. "Do not get confused or mistaken by my human form. I am the beast more than I am ever going to be human." 

"But you are human to me?" It came out more of a question because she was finally confused on where he was going. 

He sighed, removing his eyes from her face and looking above. "You are human to me." He repeated her words but in a completely different meaning. "And because of that fact I have to be human to you."

He looked at her again and lightly pinched her nose. "If I forget that fact.." as if realizing that he had done something wrong, a sudden flash of change of expressions appeared on his face and they were gone just as soon. 

"What?" She caught onto it. "What is it?" 

"Nothing," he muttered, looking away from her and it was obvious that he was recoiling back into the little hole that he had dug up for himself. 

She was on the verge of giving a frustrated side but decided on to win the complete opposite.

Still on his lap, Adeline stared up at him waiting patiently for him to come out of it and tell her what was going wrong. 

The stare that he was very much aware of and could not ignore for long. Especially when the mate bond was pulling through. 

"I was going to say that if I was.. more beast than human, you won't have survived." He muttered under his breath and with great concentration she got those words. 

"You don't need to think about things that have not happened." She whispered to him as she patted his cheek lovingly. "And thank you for controlling yourself that much." 

What he said was no joke and was actually the truth. Truth be told, when Adaline was working with the organizations meant for women she noticed how many women had to be taken for hospitalization because they're mate got rough. 

It was just a minute of carelessness and the women had to be hospitalized for a day. 

And given that Xavier was the one that had a much stronger wolf and soul of an Alpha inside him, not just any Alpha but the king, he had been awfully patient and restraining because Adeline had never been hurt. 

The playful mood had been dampened already but it had to be more serious given that Adalyn had a lot to ask of him. 

"Um," she cleared her throat and his attention was back at her again. "So do you want to answer my question?"
