Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 348 - Quicker Than Ever - II

If it was not the hand of her friend providing her courage at this point, adaline would have ended up breaking down over the floor. 

Moments after they had arrived in front of the war room, her uncle along with Xavier's father had stepped in and disappeared after the door. 

Whatever had conspired had been big and hiding it for two straight days had been a stupid thought. 

Another thing was that when her uncle arrived she received a disappointing look from him. Korr had somehow become a father figure and seen him disappointed in her only made her cry harder. 

"Chill," Ashlynn bumped their shoulders, "it's not that serious." 

"Ashlynn," Cassandra chided, "we cannot always keep shield in her." Her eyes moved to adaline, "you should have told us the moment you saw her. We were all there with you, all you have to do was yell." 

Adeline lowered her head. 

She lowered her head because of the shame that she felt and how right Cassandra was. All she had to do was real the name of someone and Adaline was show it at the people were going to come running to her. 

Then why didn't she? 

The huge door to the war room opened and Augustus stepped out. He did not address anyone but looked at adaline, "your presence is required inside." 

Even he was judging her. At the moment it seemed like everyone was disappointed in her and nothing hurt her more. 

Ashlynn patted her hand and let go meaning that she was on her own from here. Adeline slowly got up and walked inside the room without looking at Cassandra. She could only take so much of this appointment at once. 

The room was filled with people and half of them she did not now. She might have been introduced to them at some point but now her mind was now and she did not familiarise with the faces. 

She stood at the edge of the table but could not decide who looked at. Xavier, her uncle or his father? 

"Adaline," korr shifted in his seat, "how do you tell us what went down with the two of you?" 

Adaline nodded. The sooner she told whatever she knew, the quicker she would be out of here. 

"She came when she went into another room to change and before she could tell me anything, she literally disappeared." 

"Disappeared?" Someone repeated and she recognised the man to be Preston. " Disappeared how? Do you talked of teleportation?" 

Adaline nodded. "She held something, it was on her neck and muttered something under her breath before she disappeared." With a small gulp, she added hesitantly, "Amula looked weak which is why I think she disappeared before he could do anything."

"You think?" Preston parroted but this time filled with sarcasm, "how about next time you do instead of thinking?" 

Adaline could barely see clearly through the tears. 

"Preston!" Korr growled louder than she had ever heard him do. "I understand your frustration but keep that attitude down." 

Thankfully Preston did not speak after that but Adaline could still feel him looking at her. That was the case with everyone in this room. They would just look at her. 

"Was that all, Adaline?" Javeir asked her with a surprisingly gentle expression. "Is there something else that you might be forgetting to tell us?" 

Running the events over in her head, Adaline shrugged, "she wanted to tell me something but then.. maybe she was hurt or something because she was clutching her side and then vomited and then chose to disappear." 

"Tell you what?" Dylan leaned forward and kept his folded arms on the table. "Something that she tried to have hinted on?"

"I don't know," Adeline answered, her voice for scores from trying to stop the crying. "She was trying to tell me what not to do but.. she was not well. She just vomited and then left." 

"Sir, if I may suggest," the guy named Felix addressed Xavier. By far she had only known his name and his designation as someone in the council. 

"I do not think ambassador Quill is capable enough of taking care of the young Luna. Given that she has the rare power vested in her by the goddess and is still clueless about it along with these," he pointed to the situation at hand, "mishappenings. I would suggest for one of us to take the young Luna under our wing." 

Adeline's eyes bulged out but she was not the only person who was surprised. Her uncle ground at the person before lunging—

"Quill," Xavier Muttered. The king stopped her uncle. 

It was visible how her uncle was trying to fight the command of the king but in the end it was Xavier who won and her uncle resided in the chair once again. 

"Felix," Xavier turned to the old councilman, "thank you for bringing it to my notice." 

Her eyes moved to the council man who looked like he was waiting for something more. Perhaps the yes to his proposal. 

The greed was shining brightly in his eyes. It was like she was a golden chicken that was surely going to provide him with eggs made of gold all her life.

This point was understood well. She had hidden information, vital information because not only had a prisoner escaped, this very powerful prisoner had also met with her in their presence without anyone knowing. 

"You may leave," Xavier nodded but his eyes were not directed at her. He was still looking at Felix. 

Wanting to get out of the overwhelming room even though Adaline had every desire to know what was going on, she left the room and walked back into Ashlynn's arms. 

"Sorry," her friend whispered, "someone will ask you eventually what happened inside because we can't hear what goes on in the war room." 

Really? Because she is going to ask them what was going on inside and now it seemed like an impossible thing to know. 

She slouched against the wall and waited like everyone else.
