Chapter 306: His mate, the queen - II

Adaline did not look away from his eyes. For the first time Xavier let the vulnerability he felt slip. And the moment he did, Adeline caught it. 

Chuckling at the breakthrough she made with her shifter mate, Adaline raised his hand and kissed the knuckles. 

She smiled at him through the tears happy with the progress made and how they moved past it. The moment was broken by her aunt's yell. 

"I don't understand it. Adeline only has one uncle and that tells me she talked to you why you did not tell me what happened!" She shrieked at the top of her voice making every shifter wince. 

"And you two!" She turns to the youngest couple in the room, "even though I am happy to learn about the turn of events, I'm still not ready for you to bang it out in front of my eyes!" 

"Auntie!" Adeline cried helplessly and embarrassment. Xavier chuckling at that only made her blush harder.
