Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Adaline had suicided. Her life had tried to take her own life and she was not even aware of it. 

"It is such a hard fact to swallow." Tessa said out loud but to know one in particular. It was so hard to see the bandage wrapped around her wrist. 

​​

The bandage clearly showed the redness of the blood and it broke her heart every time she stared at it. It was so hard to look away as if the moment that you would look away the blood which starts flowing again and Adelene would die in front of her. 

"We must be strong for now my mate, we have to be strong for the girl." Korr added, making her scoff. 

"Do you have any idea of how her mental state is at the moment? It\'s damaged enough that she wanted to die. It\'s not something we can help her with anymore!" She hissed at him in anger and frustration. 

He said quiet and did not come into that anymore. It was a difficult situation as it is and he did not want to add more to it. Focusing on his supernatural hearing he could hear the doctors talking about the health of the king who was weak because his mate was injured which meant that it has impacted his physical and mental health. 

Korr watched his mate for a few seconds before he moved out and met with the beta wolf of the king. 

Augustus was outside listening to what a doctor was telling them about the king but when he spotted The ambassador he walked to him as well. 

"How is she?" He asked in a grim voice. 

Korr thinned his lips. "She has lost a lot of blood and for humans it means that it would be delayed healing." 

"That affects the king." The beta concluded immediately. "This is not good at all. If anything it would only guess the court members and The counsel to pressurize the king into having heirs before mating." 

Korr looked away. His mate, Teresa could go on and on about her family and she had time and again mentioned her niece which is why he felt familiar to Adaline and it hurt to see her that way. It hurt more to realise that she was going to be mated forcefully if this continued. 

"She is a human. If she is forcefully mated she won\'t survive it." Korr told him as a dutiful guardian but the beta scoffed. 

"What makes you think I have not raised this concern time and again? As far as those old bastards are concerned they only care for the child and if the king gets rough or the lunars life is in danger the Luna\'s guard can intervene." He shook his head as he mocked them. " They might look like they care but they are ruthless bastards who care about themselves." 

" Who is this?" He turned around to spot his little mate standing beside him and looking at the beta wolf questionably.

His answer was immediate "He is beta Augustus. He is the second in command when it comes to heritachry. He is directly below the king." 

Tessa watched him with careful eyes. Augustus did just the same but with respect. 

"What now?" She asked him and stared at him with her head held high. She kept his gaze. "Your king is unconscious which only works in your favour does it not?" 

Augustus\'s eyes flashed but he had more self control than there is which is why he was easily able to hold back. "Mind that tongue, woman. Do not question my loyalty to the king." 

Tessa did not heed to it. " He is the reason for my niece\'s situation. If anything he deserves to be in the bed that isn\'t right now. He made it for himself and he should lie in it!" 

" Watch it!" He snapped and growled, making korr intervene and take his mate away from there. 

"Watch what?" She snapped back not holding herself even though her mate was pushing her back to the room. 

"Teresa, please try to behave." 

She stopped her thrashing around when she heard such a calm voice. If anything no one was supposed to become in this kind of situation where the future king and queen were lying on bed unconscious and dead to the world. 

They all watched as the Queen mother entered the hallway and store in between them. Beta Augustus stood on the other side and Cassandra in between then it was Korr and his mate. 

The queen\'s cold voice took them all by surprise. "I do not want anyone to be making a spectacle of themselves. You are representing the royal family and always remember that." Her voice was like a whip, hitting hard and sharp. 

"You all represent more than you know which is why you must pay attention to what you are doing. Yelling in corridors and hallways," her eyes went to Tessa, "is a very basic etiquette to be aware of." 

Tessa\'s lips parted at the behaviour the woman showed. It was a complete change. A change like three sixty degrees! 

"Wh- excuse me?" She stuttered at the woman. What the hell happened? 

"Yes," the woman answered. "If I must tell you that. I thought you would be more aware of such things given you were an independent woman." 

" Whoa!" Tessa scoffed while staring at the woman in shock. "Look at that! She\'s changing Colors too!" 

The Queen didn\'t reply but everyone else gave her a look. It was clear that she was not going to be welcomed here as much before. 

Cassandra calmly walked to the woman and stood in front of her. "You might want to think before speaking. From now on I would prefer that you guess your relationship more priority to your native rather than your niece. I shall be inviting you for weekly dinners but nothing more than that."

She turned to her mate, " Take her away," she said before walking away.
