Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Tessa sighed as she stared at the witch. Amula was on the brink of death when they had found her. No one had expected her to jump off the balcony. 

One thing that she had never anticipated was to have the witch jump off the balcony the moment the guards approached her. If doesn\'t know what is going on, she would have taken a completely different approach to all of it. 

The witch laid on the bed completely unbothered about the world around her. 

"My mate," Korr appeared on her side as he announced his presence first. "You should check the preparations for Adaline." 

She frowned. "Why do you say that? Javis is more than capable of doing that. He knows exactly what Adaline likes." 

Korr hummed and his chest rumbled. "We were thinking of keeping them together in the palace. They will have a renewed relationship and Xavier\'s beast would like to have Adaline close." 

Tessa turned to face her mate. "Is there something that you are not telling me?" Because it certainly seemed like that. Korr Quill was anything but someone who skirted around the topic or beated around the bush instead of telling someone what it was. 

Yet when he did not tell her exactly what was with Adeline and Xavier she knew that something was wrong. 

Korr sighed and kissed her cheek making her momentarily forget what had happened and soak in the goodness. "It is something that depends on them. If they want to live together then there is nothing we can do about it."

She couldn\'t. He was right there. 

Adelene had actually turned eighteen while she was depressed heavily for those three months. Tessa did not know if Adaline had forgotten it or not, which is why she paid no attention to it and never brought the topic up. 

"I would prefer if she talks to me about it," she gave Amula a glance, "too much has gone by for me to not know what is going on in her life. In fact it is not just about me, she has no idea what\'s going on." 

Korr gave a sarcastic chuckle. " I would be honest to you about that, Teresa. No one knows what is going on." 

"Except one man who happens to know every single man," she said in contradiction to what he had said, "we are unable to find him which is why we know nothing." 

"He is aware of that which is why he is heig very well. There are too many realms for us to check which one he is in and every world requires its own set of procedures." 

Tessa huffed. "You Once told me that this Kingdom was the strongest one could ever be and now you tell me that there are procedures to be followed?" 

He had told her so. 

"If we do not respect them then we will only acknowledge the fear that they feel regarding us. Fear does not work well because it will lead towards an uprising or rebellion that we do not want. It would be unnecessary damage to life." 

Well then, what was she supposed to do? Watch Adeline suffer in silence one of them knew what exactly to come up with a solution? 

"Come on," he said as his hand came up on her shoulder, "we have to make sure that the arrangements are made at least for the food. Adaline is picky when she wants to be."

That made Teresa chuckle. Adeline was picky but she never managed to voice it out. 

Her lovely, little Adeline. 

Tessa said with a huge sigh, "Let\'s go then."

The couple made their way outside of the infirmary hallway in the palace and went down to the main floor where the preparations for going on. The street was bustling more than usual because everybody was waiting for the king and queen to come back.

It was not just the hope of having king and queen come back but the hope of them coming back together, much stronger and together than before. 

The halls looked cleaner than before. Not only that Teresa could actually see her face shining on the floor. 

These people were really excited. 

"Teresa!" Cassandra called while coming up the stairs that Teresa and her mate were descending. "I have to ask you. Is there a particular way Adaline likes her room? Never been to her room so I don\'t know." She chirped happily. 

Teresa chuckled at that. "I will be honest with you. Adeline has no specific choice when it comes to her room but if possible just click the entire decor in light colors."

"Light colours," Cassandra whispered to herself, "got it!" 

And so the Little woman was off down the stairs. 

Teresa turned around to see Cassandra walking down the stairs in a hurry. 

"Why is she panicking over a room when I told her that Adeline would have no problems with it?" 

Korr chuckled. "It\'s not heard that wants to do it but the wolf inside her. The beast wants to cuddle up to the Luna." 

"But isn\'t she one?" Because Cassandra had been acting as the Luna regent since Adeline had been absent to do the job. 

Korr shook his head and pointed a finger upwards to the sky. "The goddess chooses who is to be the Luna. Sometimes it is not the first born but the youngest who is chosen to lead." 

"Oh," it clicked. 

The same has been with Xavier. With the series of events the ground had rested on his head instead of his brother, instead of his father and instead on his uncle\'s son, his first cousin who had never seen the light of the world. 

It had been him, someone who would have been pushed further down the line of The throne but somehow had ended up with it on top of his head. 

"They are here!" 

The shouts were cried out and not only were they the shouts of the people inside the palace but she could hear the bustling in the streets. 

Tessa moved forward with the man that was her mate hot on high heels. By the time she reached the entrance of the palace, Adaline was already out of the car which was specifically for her since she was a human. 

Tessa\'s smile faltered when her eyes zeroed on the mark on Adeline\'s neck.
