Since the moment they touched down, Adeline could see the security that surrounded the aircraft alone. What the hell? 

The beta couple was in front of them and the Gamma behind making the Alpha in the middle and by the look on Xavier's face, he was not pleased.

"What's wrong?" Adeline could not help but peek at him. For as long as she had stood here there was nothing wrong. 

"My beast does not stand to be second. He said and gave her a smile. "Don't worry about me. It's just an Alpha thing." 

She nodded, letting go like he asked. It was then that Adeline noticed the entire area around them. The airport was covered with people and it felt like she had entered the human world with how much population she found here to be. 

Unlike the first time that he had arrived here with Xavier, the airport which seemed to be almost empty now did not have the space to have a foot step in. 

"What's going on?" She whispered. 

In comparison to the airport in the north, this one was far busier and this one was bustling. Adeline narrowed her eyes at that. Somehow she felt anxiety creep in. How was she going to stand in front of so many people again? 

"Why is it so. . ."

"Busy? Bustling? swarming? buzzing?"

"Yes," Adeline nodded at suggestions given by Elizabeth. 

"Crowded? Full?" Elizabeth didn't stop. 

Adeline huffed and smiled. "I get it. Stop." Something told Adeline that Elizabeth was trying to calm her nerves down which was weird. How could hse tell what Elizabeth wanted to do?

Xavier's constant presence and contact to her skin was a blessing in disguise at the moment. He had held her hand as they walked to the crowds of people that had directed all of their attention towards her. Adeline looked at them with wide eyes not understanding why they were here and why they would look at her and not minding their own business? 

It was as if they were celebrities from some movie and were walking out of the airport only to be bombarded by thousands of people..

Maybe now she understood why they prefer to live in a discreet lifestyle. 

She had so many questions in her mind to ask Xavier what was going on but she was also aware that if she imported one word everyone would be able to hear her and Adeline would have more attention on her. 

Most of the things that are really noticed about them was how the women kept staring at her while whenever she would meet the eyes of a man he would lower them down to her feet. 

During the first two times Adalene actually checked her feet in case she might have something on them. 

She was definitely going to ask Xavier about this in the car. 

He opened the door for her, making her sit inside first and then slid in next to her.

She could not control her curiosity and barely let it hang as the car started to move away from the airport. And she was a respectful distance and was sure that they could not possibly hear anything she said and Adaline turned to Xavier. 

"Why would there all of a sudden so many people at the airport? I thought wolves did not travel in airplanes. You told me that it only happened with those that had human mates."

He chuckled and nodded. "Wolves, yes, do not travel unless with human mates. However, in this case, they were here for you." 

"Me?" She frowned and heartbeat picked up. "Why?" 

"They. . ." He hesitated slightly and glanced out of the car before looking at her. "They were there because they wanted to see if the rumours were true." 

"What Rumours?" 

"The rumours that you have been marked." 

The realisation set in and she gasped. "All of them knew?" 

He nodded. 

"How?" She asked but in the end shook her head. Never mind that where there were people they were going to gossip. 

He chuckled and pulled her close, making her lean into his chest. "My uncle did not have his maid for long which meant that the kingdom has been without a queen for a long time. They are excited to see you and a little nervous." 

"Nervous from what?" She chuckled, "Are they nervous from a human?" 

"No," he kissed her hair. "My uncle's mate was taken away from him and all of us very soon. Given that she was a half wolf people were not very accepting of her and. . . They are just too nervous since you are a complete human."

"As in they don't want me to die?" Adeline blurted out not really finding any reason to stay quiet. Because from what she understood the previous Queen died too soon and that has affected everyone especially the females. 

"Yes." He said and Adaline recognised the heavy tone. "That." 

She looked up at him while keeping her cheek pressed to his chest. "I'm not going to die, Xavier." She assured him but he gave her a small huff. 

"I find that men that have been responsible for a lot of mishappenings in our life are not going to take any chances for your life, Adaline." As if to provide her comfort after such harsh words Xavier placed a kiss on her forehead. "Until then no matter how many reassurances you might give me, I won't stop." 

She stretched her lips into an unimpressed smile but did not say much. In fact she did not have the opportunity to because before long they arrived into the heart of the capital where the palace was. 

If she saw that the airport was crowded and busy the capital was completely in contrast to that. People make way for the car but Adeline really could see how much of them were standing and she could not believe that this was the amount of people living here. 

Before long the car door was opened by Xavier for her and he extended his hand for her to take.. The First person Adeline was her smiling Aunt before the smile vanished they zeroed on her neck.
