Chapter 367 – A Vampire’s Plea- I
~Six months later~
Adaline felt his hand tighten over her boob and make her huff.
"You do realize that my breasts are not going anywhere, right?" It had been months and the routine had been the same in the morning.
Like he had some kind of fear that in the middle of the night one of her boobs would leave her body and one away which is why he would always hold onto one and keep his head on the other.
At first it made her giggle but now it was quite frustrating.
"Shh," he shifted his weight entirely on her, making her suck in a breath and shoved him away, or at least try to.
"Xavier!" She patted and slapped his back. "Get off me. You are too heavy!"
"Hush," he said and she sighed before giving him. This was also part of the routine.
She waited for him to fall asleep and once when he did, his weight shifted to the side as if even subconsciously he did not want to weigh down on her, making her free to do as she pleased.
Slowly she got out of the bed and replaced herself with the pillow that she slept on. It was not exactly good at fooling him but when he was in deep sleep and so was his beast, her scent on it was enough to keep him sated.
After releasing herself in the bathroom, Adaline made her way outside her bedroom and towards the balcony that overlooked the gardens of the palace.
Being the king definitely had its own privileges and it came with the apartment that was covering the entire floor and two balconies one which overlooks the flowers and the other that overlooked the capital.
Her day was going to start soon and for now she just wanted to get some peace and required before she would be surrounded by tens and hundreds of people.
A lot of things has changed during these months. Even the threat of the vampire returning always loomed over them; it was pushed to the very end of her mind.
She had started to learn more about the helping hand of the Luna, something that was very powerful and could save the lives of both men and women. It was difficult to learn about it because they were still trying to know what extent it could go to.
This power was something that went way beyond the means that they were used to and not only that but the previous Queen did not exercise it meaning there were a generation behind in facts and knowledge.
She sighed heavily after the sinking feeling that made its presence known.
Adaline rubbed the area over her chest right below the neck where she felt her anxiety bubble up. Everything had been going fine and now the feeling that something was going to be bad would pop up every now and then.
She shifted to look closer and the new flowers that had replaced the royal purple flowers. Knowing that those flowers had played a hand in what happened in the past, Xavier had ordered the flowers to be eradicated from the entire Kingdom.
The action was a little extreme, however she understood the sentiment behind it.
Adaline noticed something in the corner of the tree, it was something white. Like a cloth..
She gasped. The last time she had seen something like that it had been no one except the moon goddess and she had been dressed in the same white cloth.
Without waiting anymore, she darted across the room and towards the doors.
"Your hi—'
"No one follows me!" She whispered in huff as she continued to run. Running was definitely not meant for her.
Given her midget height,
The servants and the soldiers got out of her way when they saw the little Luna running through the halls, barefoot and towards the gardens.
Only when she reached the point where she had seen the moon goddess did she stop. At the moment she was right below the balcony where she had previously stood and now made her way to the tree line.
To her surprise there was no one there and even though she had half expected the possibility, it still did not seem right.
Someone had been here and it might be filled Luna senses tingling to tell her that. Those senses also told her that someone was still here.
She gulped and walked ahead into the jungle, as stupid as it might sound this was something that she felt like doing. Something was calling out to her. It was strong—
"Hey,"
Adaline whipped her head around at the familiar masculine voice before taking a step back when she recognised it was.
He smiled, "we meet again."
"We do," Adaline mumbled and took a step back, "you landed me in quite a trouble last time."
"Did I?" Adrian smiled before it vanished quickly and sped up her heart beat. It was ready to jump out of her chest and on the ground. "I need your help."
"Help?" Adaline repeated and scoffed, "my help? Do you know what you are talking about and to whom?"
He was one of those people that had witnessed everything happening to her and was a part of it too. He had planned everything with Nathaniel.
"Yes," he nodded curtly, "I do know what I am talking about and how unlikely it is for you to help me, but I need your help and I am going to risk everything for it."
Everything? That was certainly a big gamble that he was ready to play when he must have knwn that she had no intention of helping him. Even if he was in a shitload of trouble, which he seemed to be in, he was the last person, scratch that, she just would not help him.
"You should leave," she tilted her head up and stepped back, "I am not going to help you in any way and no one else would too."
Adrian titled his head to the side once before returning it to his original position.. "Well," he clicked his tongue, "that would not do."
