Again we agree that Adalind never would betray Sean or Nick since she has no motive. Eve and Trubel has real motive to betray Sean.
Let me pose a theoretical question. Suppose in the next year or so, a prince from another royal family comes to Portland, sees Adalind walking down the street and likes what he sees. He offers her and her children safe haven and lots of money. Most importantly, this royal prince offers her her own home, something she has never had. Now Adalind's still young and can have children. She loves being with the royals. I'd bet money that she'd betray Nick over that because the prince is offering her something that she has never had and that is her own home.
Adalind doesn't love being with the royals. They were a means to an end. And having gobs of money and a mansion has never been her driving impulse. First it was about pleasing Renard. Then it was about revenge and getting back the part of herself that was stolen. And finally it's been about her children. She doesn't need a safe haven because it's hard to top the one she has. Full of people who love her and would lay down their lives for her. Adalind has said before, when discussing finances with Nick, that she likes to contribute, so becoming some kept woman in a Bavarian Castle wouldn't appeal to any perceived vanity you think she has. And Nick and Adalind are not going to stay in the FOME. That was always meant to be a temporary measure until looming dangers passed. With Zerstorer and Black Claw finished, and with the Royals in utter disarray, there's no reason for them not to start looking for a proper house to raise their kids in. Adalind doesn't need some prince to sweep in and give her a house. She and Nick will find something that suits them just fine. In the scheme of things, Adalind is more likely to start her own law firm than take handouts from some fancy dude in a Rolls Royce. She already got her Prince Charming in Nick. A guy she fell in love with because he wasn't like any of those other jerks.
