The priest turned around and walked to the wall behind him. There were pushed it open only for it to turn out like a hidden door in a wall.

When he opened it, Adeline could see the forest outside that surrounded the side of the palace.

They really loved being connected to the earth and there was no other way that adaline could have it confirmed. 

"We all know what the marking ceremony will be," he stated loudly but his eyes turned to Adeline making him slightly freeze where she stood. "However, I am aware that the Luna Queen does not."

Why did she feel red all over? Was he trying to insult her? 

Jenna\'s hand slipped in her own and gave it a quick squeeze. 

Having a figure that was just like a grandmother made adaline realise a thought. If anyone was going to insult her or was trying to do so, then Jenna would be the first person to stand up for her. 

By the time Adaline looked up again the priest was already standing in front of her with a soft smile on his face. 

"The marking ceremony is not like any other ceremony followed by any other pack." He began an even with a soft smile on his face his voice was quite firm. "Unlike what is followed in shifter packs, with Luna Queen we determine how strong and unbiased her decisions will be of her own feelings." 

She frowned lightly. "How?" 

The priest smiled before answering. "The door that I have opened to the forest is the door that you will run out of and the forest is where you will hide from the king."

What? 

"When you hide from the king and continue hiding until the sun is set, you proof to us that no matter how strong the mate bond might be, you will stand firm in your decisions even if it means going against the very bond that makes you the queen." 

She understood a little. 

They wanted to see that no matter how much she might love Xavier or might be forced by the bond, Adaline would still be able to see the difference between the right and the wrong. 

"I understand," she nodded her nod. 

"Then I will let you in on something even more fun." He laughed lightly. "While you run and continue to find yourself a hiding spot, we will hold the king down." 

Wait what? 

Her eyes turned to Korr who was laughing under his breath. Everyone looked amused and Xavier, a little angry.

"We have to hold him down so that it does not immediately start chasing you," Korr laughed. 

It was Javier that spoke next, "it is going to take us a lot of manpower to hold him against doing something in his nature but I suggest you hurry."

Both confused and curious, Adaline was ready to ask another question when the entire crowd started to chant. 

"Run!"

"Run!" 

"Run!"

As if that was not enough, her uncle patted her shoulder telling to hurry up, making Adeline take a few steps forward under the pressure towards the door. 

She could see Xavier barely trying to restrain himself. 

Well then, she shrugged to him as a reply. If this was tradition and she had a chance of winning then she was not going to miss it. 

Turning around adaline ran for the door and run at full speed. Her speed only increased when she heard the deafening cheers of the crowd behind her. 

This time she was definitely going to win it. 

She ran full speed into the forest without an ounce of fear of how deep she was going in.

Eyes narrowed when she came to a stop resting her legs slightly before she took off into another direction but stopped again. 

"Shit," she whispered. The sudden realisation came to her that he could send everything and could basically track where she had been immediately when he would step into the forest. 

That meant it would not even take him seconds to catch her and what ever she had thought of winning would be lost within nanoseconds. 

Crap. He would definitely win then. 

Adeline\'s hands rested on her waist as she breathed heavily, sinking in what to do. There was nothing at this point..

Except,

It was clear that Xavier had the highlighted senses just like a dog or any animal word and from what she had seen in so many documentaries it only made everything easier. 

Which..meant..

Adeline grinned. 

****

"Can I go now?" Xaviers grated out. He was fucking annoyed and the fact that everyone was partying in front of him annoyed him even more. 

"Not yet," Augustus shook his head with the teasing glint in his eyes. "Do you remember how bad you were laughing at me when I was experiencing the same with Patricia?"

Xavier cocked a brow up. "And now you choose to take your revenge?"

"Perfect timing." He winked and took a sip of his alcohol. "She is a human, Alpha. We have to give her longer."

"Not when she would be caught," Gaius, a distant cousin of Xavier and the only other descendant that they could depend on, said. 

"Given that she is human only makes it more achievable for him. It does not matter if you give her more time or not because she is not winning." 

Xavier silently agreed but did not say it out loud. That was true. 

All three of them looked to the side where they heard footsteps coming towards them. It was the queen mother, Cassandra walking towards them. 

"I heard you," she narrowed her eyes at Gaius, "and must I want you, she might look fragile but Adeline is one of the strongest girls you will ever see." 

Gaius raised his hands in surrender immediately, "you know I never meant it like that aunt. I have heard what she\'s been through when she was quite strong." 

"Ahem, ahem," the head priest cleared his throat and Xavier\'s head snapped towards him. 

"It is time.." He declared, hiding a smile. "Let\'s see who wins!"
