This time it was a red dress but it was not just an ordinary red dress rather something she had been looking at since she came into this well. 

It was the exact colour of Xavier\'s eyes. 

The colour that he would have when he would show no emotion on his face. It was not the deepest colour when he showed his anger or the brightest red when he was with her. 

It was the red, just red, just the correct shade of his eyes. 

Realising where the resemblance came from might have taken her some time but she was quick in recognising it. 

"Why is it red today?" She asked the two girls. One of them was finishing up with her hair and the other one was tidying things up. 

"Red," she mumbled as she tied Adeline\'s hair, "because today the Alpha will need your support." 

That made Adeline frown. Who was this supposed to support Xavier in any kind of way? 

"The dress represents the colour of his eyes." She spoke of her conclusion loudly, "but what I do not understand is how it is going to support him in any way." 

The young woman shrugged. "You will see. Today is the test of his endurance." Wrapping a rubber band around the end of the braid, the woman gave ordering A final nod before she started to pack everything up. 

So they were not going to tell her anything more and that was clear. 

Adelen pulled the braid in front and by the side of high neck. She started to play with the ends of hair as she started to wonder what it was all about.

This time the location of the ceremony was different. They did not go to the palace and inside the great courtroom. Instead they went to a completely different place.

They went inside the temple that was in the capital and was specifically dedicated to the moon goddess. 

And not to mention the fact that this was beautiful. 

By looking at the architecture alone, anyone could tell that it was made a long time ago. The carvings were made out of rocks and each and every carving had the finest details that anyone could ever give in today\'s world. 

Adeline\'s hand hovered over the carvings on the third pillar as they had started to walk inside but she had drifted away and in her mesmerization of their pillars and the carvings on them. 

There was a language written on the rocks. By looking at it, it must have been ancient because there was no way that she could understand any word. And in fact most of them were not the ones that she had been using all her life. 

Her eyes moved to the next pillar even before their seat did but they followed soon after. 

It was a sculpture of a woman. 

This was the first time that Adaline had never stepped in the temple like this. She had no knowledge about it being in the capital yet when she saw this particular sculpture, she could point out the familiarity.

All of a sudden she felt the overwhelming feeling of being watched but instead of being cautious she felt her body relax on its own. 

"Hello you," a voice whispered in her ear and she smiled. Now she understood. 

"Hello Xavier," She turned around and gave him a shy and timid smile. "How are you?" 

He leaned down and placed a kiss on her head.

Adeline closed her eyes to relish the feeling, only to find out once she opened them that the priest was also standing with them but just a little far away. 

"Oh," she mumbled, feeling the rush of heat on her cheeks before she stepped away. "Hello— I mean, good night—mo-morning, I mean." 

Just as she stepped away from Xavier he had put her right back into his arms. She even felt him chuckle. 

"Good morning, Luna Queen," the priest replied calmly with the little bow of his head. "I noticed that you were admiring the sculptures." 

She nodded and glanced at it one more time. "I have seen that one before," Adelene pointed her finger towards the depiction of the woman on the pillar, "when I was in the north. I saw her in the corridor." 

"Adeline," she heard Xavier sighed above her, "that cannot be right and true, my love." 

"On the contrary," the priest said in his ever so calm voice, "I would believe the Luna when she says that she has made the moon goddess."

Adeline\'s head snapped up to him. Wait, what?!

He nodded and looked at her, said, "the woman you have made is no other than a goddess. The very god we have been blessed with. However I must ask you to keep this to yourself or at most in between you and your mate."

"Why?" She asked out of pure curiosity. Was it not a nice thing if she had met with the goddess? 

The priest smiled, "because if Goddess has blessed you and it is just you, then it has been meant for you." With those cryptic words, he gave them one last bow before moving away. 

"So.." Adeline stared at his departing back, "it was true?" 

Xaviers stared at her for a moment before he looked back to where the priest disappeared. If the priest said that, then there was a chance of it happening truly. 

"Well, if he says so," he looked at her before smiling and placing a kiss on her forehead. "Then my mate has been blessed by the goddess herself." 

Warmth bubbled inside her chest making her glance down for a second when she noticed it. "Why are you not wearing the shirt?" 

Until now, she had not noticed that she had been shirtless the entire time. Adeline knew that his gene could combat the cold without being affected by it; it still did not make sense to why he was naked inside the temple.

He chuckled before winced slightly, "You\'ll see."
