You said she was secure but she obviously didn't feel this way. From an objective standpoint, she was safe but that's not what matters here. That doesn't make her feelings any less real.
Adalind, the character, might just disagree with you. I don't recall her showing any fear during the entire series run. Allow me to question why, when she finally gets the protection she wants from the man she bargained with, does she suddenly show fear when Nick's in the next room and....how did you put it? He could kill anything that came through her door. Tell me how that works.

I guess we can also say that Rosalee is putting on an act as well. From the way Monroe initially described Fuchsbau, there's no way Rosalee is the real deal. We should also be highly suspicious of Juliette's friend as well.
You're all up in arms about Adalind's feelings and how sincere she is now and how she would never manipulate anyone, ever. How about talking about Hank. Does Adalind matter more to him as an individual or does he still look upon her as a hexenbiest?
Adalind hasn't shown any fear? You're joking, right. Adalind has probably shown just as much fear if not more than any other character in the show and I say that knowing she hasn't appeared in as many episodes nor has nearly as much screentime as most of the characters do. The only one that rivals her is Juliette when she was regaining her memories and when she became a Hexenbiest because those were arcs that lasted for a handful of episodes or so. I'm still not sure Juliette actually matched her fear on a consistent basis.
I really don't feel like I need to list all the different instances of Adalind becoming hysterical and being scared out of her mind because I'm sure other posters will come along to do it.
I'm not up in arms about Adalind's feelings and I really don't know why I keep having to reiterate I'm not angry when I type this out. I'm just telling you what I saw on screen and using the proper context, without ignoring any of it, to explain why I came to a different conclusion then your own.
As for Hank, I would say it's pretty obvious that he looks at her as an actual person instead of just a Hexenbiest. He hasn't been shown to be uncomfortable at all around her and he put what happened between them in the past even though I personally wouldn't but I'm not Hank.
Also, I didn't say Adalind would never manipulate anyone again but she wasn't shown doing that to anyone other than Renard in the final two seasons and she wasn't nearly as good at it as she used to be. I will say that it's highly unlikely that she would manipulate Nick or his friends, whom became her friends, in any significant way based on the character she ended up as in the end. It seems more likely that Adalind can get what she wants from them just by being straight up with them from now on.
