She closed another book after reading through the passages that had been highlighted by the professor and Ashlynn, the latter who had surprisingly joined them just to help adaline. 

They had read a lot of books that were now randomly placed on the huge table. The tables were of a standard size so they had thought of joining three of them together. 

So far there were a few things that she could definitely count On that she had understood. 

These traditions were basically signifying the bond in between the pair. 

These traditions were carried out in response to the artificial bones that were made by two kings for their children. Just so they could combine the power of the kingdoms into one. 

The public had believed them when they said that their children were admitted to each other but that was not the truth and the downfall of the kingdom began because the goddess had been lied to. 

Lycans world her favorite children and did not please the goddess when she was being lied to by them and how her favorite children were deceiving the others. 

This was when the tradition was introduced. And these traditions went wayyy back. 

These traditions included getting blessings of God and making sure that their bodies were comfortable in the way they should be as they would be soulmates. 

Every test was different. 

Every test measures that every aspect that came with the mate bond was tried and tested and made sure that this time none of them were being deceived. 

But what Adaline did not understand was why was Xavier giving her a choice when this was really important to the people. 

"What are you thinking?" Ashlynn asked her softly and Adeline answered, 

"Why would he give me a choice when this clearly means a lot to people?" She randomly reached for a book and played with its cover. "It is really said that the people trust these customs because it\'s more like a test that the goddess has bestowed the bond over them and.. they are not being lied to." 

Because when the king\'s had lied to them just so they could combine two powerful kingdom\'s into one, the place had started to fail miserably. 

There were no crops, famine had started, the fertility of the soil had vanished not to mention that women were not getting pregnant with pups and slowly and steadily every thing that was very important to the population of the shifters was getting poisoned. 

So much so that clear drinking water that had been used for thousands of years suddenly had started to turn black. 

"Why would he give me that option when the people would never like it?"

Professor Harold spoke while he continued to read the contents of the book, "maybe the people would believe him because he is seen with the human mate. Otherwise no King would want to have someone so weak." 

Ouch. 

"True," Ashlynn passed her a sympathetic look. "If she wanted to have a strong line age he would have definitely gone for someone like him, a lycan. But since he is seen with you and no one else, they will have to take the fact as a test that you are his mate. The first human mate from human parents." 

So humans were considered that low? 

"If you try to look at the positive side you will also find the connection it holds with the goddess," Professor Harold once again captured her attention, "these ceremonies are carried out in the cave where the goddess was seen for the last time. It makes you feel more connected to her lost home in this realm before she passed to the moon."

"Entering in her house and asking for her blessings with permission would only result in you two living a happy life forward." 

Her lips pursed slightly at what was told to her. 

At this moment Adelyn was desperate to have a normal life and if it meant going to seek the blessings of a God, then she was going to do it. Especially when it also meant a lot to the other people that were going to be involved in her life. 

From what she had read in the books, No one prepared for the ceremonies and the rituals apart from the family members. That meant no help from the outside was acquired. 

This was something that shifter families love to do especially given that they always were in a pack. 

"It is your choice to do it or not," Professor Harold continued, "do not put the pressure of doing it because of others. People would have to accept it one way or the other." 

His words did not sound like what she wanted to hear. From the countless movies and documentaries that she had heard about fallen monarchies, Adeline understood one thing and that was the importance of will and being heard. 

She nodded his words telling him that she heard and understood each and everyone. At the end the professor stood up, muttering under his breath as he had something to do and Ashlynn went deeper into the library. 

Adelene forward on the table slightly and picked up a book. This book had told her about how the mates felt about the ceremony. 

This was something that was done without a cost, so even those that were not living as comfortably as the others could actually have it conducted. 

It was something that they did for mental satisfaction and that was what Adeline deduced from it. 

It brought them closer to their soul mate and to the goddess that had given them life. It brought them closer to their family members as well because they were all participating in it together. 

It was an event that would involve everyone and with the amount of people she knew it not sound fair that she was the only one to decide whether it was to happen or not especially when the entire shape shifting species was waiting for it. 

Adeline sighed before she heard the heavy footsteps. 

"Ma\'am," a guard who she did not know the name of yet spoke up, "the king is here."
