Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 327 - The Marking Ceremony - II

The first thing that Adelene saw was the beautiful braid that they had made for her long hair.

It went with the margin of her right before the forehead and then both of them were joined together into a long braid that fell over her back and to her waist. 

She had been considering cutting the hair but now looking at it, Adeline found it to be the most beautiful thing. 

The next was the dress. 

Adeline first assumed that the dress would be the same colour that these women were wearing which was white but this dress has turned out to be brown and made of silk cloth. 

She had expected it to be a gown with it not like that. It came down to her knees and it had a flowing flare to it. 

The folds plated were too many that Adeline was sure that she could easily run with it. 

But what she focused on was that she looked very pretty in it. 

Unable to control it for any longer, Adaline turned around and ran into her room before stopping in front of the two ladies that were chatting amongst themselves. 

Their eyes lightened up on Adaline making the young girl twirl around to give them a good look of the dress. 

"Wow!" Tessa clapped her hands animatedly and in clear excitement. "Oh my God, you look so beautiful!'

"You do," Jenna with a soft look shining in Those eyes. She blinked the glistened look away and looked at Adaline before standing up, "That is all you will be needing in terms of getting ready. Hurry up and come down the stairs, we must not be late." 

Adeline and Teresa continued to stare at the back of the woman who just left. 

"She okay?" Adeline muttered under her breath. 

"Dunno," Tessa muttered back. 

*****

Adelen felt herself to be a jumble of nerves as they neared the destination. 

She felt her heart crawl up toward throat with how nervous she felt. 

They were travelling by car because adeline and her aunt could not travel on four feet or paws and reduce the nervousness that she felt she kept on staying outside the window looking at how the trees past quickly as the car moved past them. 

The enters the palace was but instead of stopping at the entrance the driver drove to the very end of the palace that Adaline was not familiar with. 

As soon as the car stopped everyone got out and that included Adaline. 

It seemed like the palace disappeared into the forest. There was no in habitation behind the Palace but just plain forest. 

That would be a given sense these people love to be connected to nature. 

Tessa appeared by her side and took adlens hand in her own. Adeline could not be any more grateful for the presence of her aunt. 

The constant support provided by her remaining family member was something Adeline cherished to the heart. 

Korr too appeared next to her. "We have to go inside first." 

Adeline nodded. Somehow all of it seemed to be very daunting. 

They moved inside at a considerate pace. Adeline was in the middle and Korr led the group with Jenna at the end of it. 

Korr seemed to know where to go and Adeline had no problem with that. She was busy admiring how different the palace had suddenly started to look. 

It was cleaned well and by well, Adeline meant that she could see her face on the titles clean. 

The violet color flowers that she had seen in the palace gardens were everywhere but they looked beautiful. They had placed it beautifully everywhere she loved it all. 

To her surprise, Adeline noticed that she had never been to this part of the palace. Since they had climbed to stairs, she knew that they were on the ground floor but this corridor seemed to be new. 

Korr seemed a bit far away for her to ask the question, so Adeline turned to Jenna and stepped with her, "Where are we going?"

Jenna glanced at her before looking forward and answering, "The grand courtroom," she whispered, "from there you will understand more."

Why could not one just tell her and be over with it?

As if to end her misery, the courtroom arrived and Adeline had to call it the grand courtroom. It was bigger than any room she had ever seen and grander as if meant to be a show-off. The room was colored in gold and maroon colors. Sometimes, when she carefully looked at the gold-colored walls, it did not look like paint. 

Upon entering the hall, Adeline's eyes went everywhere. 

As compared to the corridors, there were fewer flowers here; the appearance of the courtroom did not need it. It stood out on its very own. 

Korr moved closer to her and held her hand in his hand before taking her to stand on one side of the corner where she saw Xavier stand right in front of her but on the other end.

A wink came from him making her shyly look away. 

As both of them stood in front of each other on the two corners of the great courtroom, hardly noticed that people started to walk inside and there were only a few faces that she could recognise. 

It was then the crowd parted slightly and someone walked past everyone and stopped only when he stood in the middle of Xavier and adaline. 

"He is the head priest," Jenna whispered quietly in her ear and Adeline nodded. 

"The day has finally arrived for us to witness another meeting ceremony after decades. We are all fortunate enough to witness the meeting ceremony of the new king and queen, the two rulers of the royal house Rivera."

He smiled in delight, "and as much as I would like to continue expressing my delight over all of this, we have to continue."

Chuckles were heard all around the room and Adeline realised that it was not just this one, but everyone in the entire room if not the kingdom that was this happy. 

She smiled when she caught Xavier laughing a little as well.. His happiness matters the most to her especially when she knows how much her happiness matters to him.
