Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 152 - Her Niece - III

He nodded, casting the Queen a glance before

 answering his mate. "She is the queen, my mate. As soon as she wakes up and then has recovered fully, she will take on her duties along with the king."

"But what if adaline does not want to? You have to consider her opinions about this is well. " Tessa like a beautiful gaurdian immediately spoke about what Adeline could have wanted. It was important for what the child wanted more than what these people wanted for her.

When she did not receive an answer she looked up from where she was staring at and looked at Korr. Even though she was human she could feel the shift in energy happened in the room. What happened to him ? 

"What?" She muttered staring at him slightly weary of it. "What's wrong?"

His eyes snapped at her immediately. His previously emotionless eyes soft and at the sight of her and he shook his head. "Nothing. I had just thinking of something else."

She huffed. " Do you know the first time that you brought me here and how scared I was? The one thing you said was that you were going to be honest about it all. That girl is my guardian and it has been weeks since she woke up and weeks since her mate came back. Be honest with me and tell me what's going on!" She snapped at him. In a world that she had no knowledge about and was the least powerful person Tessa knew that she had to protect herself and her niece. 

He sighed lovingly, "all right, well to be honest she cannot deny the duties. If she denies the crown and being the queen of the king, along with the responsibilities then the mate bond will be broken and since she is the weakest she would have to deal with the greater share of pain. The king would either be forced to abdicate or take a new mate."

She thought about it. Why would she take it all? "Why would Alan have to take the greater side of the pain? Should not be on both of them?"

"It would." He agreed, " but given that only one of them is belonging to the supernatural. It is him that can take another mate which leaves Adelene alone and rejected."

Tessa sighed at the information. It felt so bad to her that her child would be left alone and rejected whereas Xavier would have another chance at happiness. As if her brother's death was not enough, now Adeline had to suffer as well and if she did not then there would be a humongous burden on her shoulders that she would have to take care of.

"It's not fair." She muttered out. "First of all, she is not waking up and when she does, she has a whole other world waiting out for her. Why cannot it be just the king? Many monarchies had one ruler until the hair came upon and took the reign."

He shook his head as he gave her a sad smile. "You are talking about human monarchies and I am talking about the supernatural ones. Like I told you earlier, mates depend on each other and the survival does to. They complete each other. Not only this if the Alpha of the pack leads as a father by Nature than it is on the Luna to bring fertility and prosperity in."

"You mean to tell me that only one woman would do that?" Tessa could not help but repeat it out loud as if appalled. "How is it that one woman can do that and not all of them?"

He pinched her cheek. "How is it that I can shift into someone three times my size and I have hairs sprout out of my body by changing my physical form completely?" He pointed and shut up. "It's nature, love and nature does not have any explanations."

"Still," she muttered.

He sighed. "It is her presence that affects everyone. The previous king who was King Nicolas, Xaviers uncle had lost is mate long ago but he had the strength to wait until one of his nephews were able to take the throne by the age and were fully prepared for it. With the absence of the previous Luna, the packs were affected gravely and females had stopped going into heat. With the presence of a new one, we expect a boost in fertility. It is nature, exactly what only a woman can do. The gift of motherhood, after all, was bestowed to her."

She disagreed. "It's not a gift, it's like binding her."

"Everyone in every shape shifting pack, be it a cheetah or even a sheep, would be ready to lay down their life for the Luna. Not only that, even a child would not think twice before laying his life down for her." The stern tone didn't get past her and she looked at him who looked disappointed by her. "She is the most protected and loved for women everywhere. Queen Adeline is the most respected woman you will ever find in this world so if it is binding her, it is only her way to see it. For us we are providing her with unconditional love and protection."

She scoffed, "your unconditional love and protection was not letting me get out of the house for 5 days straight when I came here even though you knew who I was!" She spat as she remembered the days of the past. It was not easy for him to gain control and he would never let her out of sight.

He scoffed now. "If you think I was being over possessive you should see how the king would behave when he is in the palace and they meet."

"About that," she caught onto it quickly, "where is he after killing my niece's child and almost getting her killed as well? Should not behave with her?"

" Tessa," he warned. "I am your mate which is why I can make my wolf yield to your disrespects against our king but the others would not be affected by it so do not say it out loud outside the outer walls of a our house—" he looked up and his ears tilted, " well," he looked at her with a slight smile, " He's here."
