Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 285 - A House Check - I

~Capital; The Quill Estate~ 

Teresa felt super nervous even before she was out of bed. The feeling came to her just as her eyes opened and she did not feel good about that. 

"I can hear you thinking even in my sleep," Korr spoke up in his raspy voice making her look to her side, "why don't you go back to sleep? It is still early in the morning." 

Tessa sighed and shook her head as she returned her eyes back to the ceiling where she had been staring at previously. "I tried but failed." 

Korr reached out and placed his arm over her waist before pulling her to him. "You worry for no reason. Alexandier is coming today. So worry not because we are going to have every corner of the house checked."

That was exactly what did not put Tessa at ease.. The witch or warlock as he claims to call himself was coming to their house and it groom owners inside her then ever. 

She was truly worried and what they would find inside the house and how was all of this going to be responsible for what happened.

Alexandier entered before breakfast and all he brought with him was a small bag made of jute. 

"That's it?" She questioned his belongings. "There is always going to help you with this?"

The warlock chuckled. "More than enough honestly. You shall see if he allows you too." 

Teresa frowned immediately. "What do you mean?" Why won't she be allowed? 

"Alexandier," Korr's hand held her shoulder and pulled her close, "how long are you going to be here for?" 

Alexandier narrowed his eyes at the slightest, "I cannot determine how long it is going to take me." He answered very conveniently. The warlock waited for the shifter to move but when he didn't, the former chose to add, "Now, just so you know the quicker you let me enter, the quicker I will finish." 

That was a rather cheeky thing to do in the house of a shifter who had a human mate. 

Korr gave him a low growl before moving to the side and gently pushing his mate behind him. "Go on." 

Alexandier entertain house and just took two steps inside before stopping again and glancing what was in front of him. 

At this point the whole house was visible to him, the stairs that went upstairs to the living room and dining room. 

He looked at everything present inside the room before returning to the master of the house. He raised his hand which haf the jute bag in it, "inside the bag are faeries and they are going to catch any material that can link possible do anything to dark magic or dark arts of any kind." 

"Faeries?" Tessa repeated, giving a confused glance in the direction of the man standing next to her. "What's happening? What are they going to do?" 

Alexandier turned his eyes to the man instead of the woman, "you should explain it to her while I get to work. The quicker I am done the better it would be because I am yet to investigate the palace."

Tessa did not pay attention to what he said, rather had a close eye on what he was doing. He opened the jute bag and just as he did that small blue coloured dots, neon somehow, exit out of the bag on their own before scattering around the house. 

"Mate," Korr first tightened his hand over her shoulder giving her a squeeze and then spoke, "those are small faeries. Usually they are the size of our thumbs but these ones are smaller than that. They can instantly detect dark magic and that is what they are going to do." 

"Dark magic?" Tessa looked at him. That was something she had only heard of in serials and TV and now when she heard it for the first time, Tessa I had no idea what to do. 

Korr nodded but his face showed the sadness he felt, "unfortunately." 

Tessa looked at Alexandeir to find him walking up the stairs. "What do we do about him?" She said, glancing up at her mate. "Should we go after him? I want to know what it is." 

Korr gave a sigh as he followed her line of sight. "Just be behind me." 

Grabbing her hand, he took her to upstairs where the warlock had disappeared. It was the room that Adeline stayed in.

They found standing above the exact spot where Tessa had found the look like of Adaline melting down into a pile of Dirt. 

"That's where it happened." She told Alexandier, "that is exactly where I saw the lookalike melt." 

"Was it?" The warlock drawled out very easily. "That is why the faeries think that this room contains most of the dark magic." He mused. 

It was more like he had muttered the words under his breath which is why did not catch any of them. 

Leaning towards Korr, she whispered, "What he say?" 

Korr glanced at her. "He knows." 

Tessa straightened up. The fairies scattered all around the room. She had initially thought that they would cluster around one spot but instead of that they were scattered around the entire room so did it mean. . .

"Is her entire room infected?" Teresa called as she jumped on her tiptoes to look beyond The Wall of skin standing in front of her. Korr was purposely blocking heavy inside and since his shoulders were very broad, it made it difficult for her to see what was going on inside. 

"I don't know," Alexandier narrowed his eyes, "since this was the room where it happened the faeries are naturally attracted here. I need to check every corner of the house. There could be more." 

He glanced at Korr. "Maybe you should take her out. Send your butler in, he can watch." 

Teresa scoffed. She knew that Korr would not take her out of the house on the command of the wall clock that he did not rust and even hated a little bit he turned around and held her arm before taking her away from the room. 

"Hey! What?" She screamed in protest. 

"You heard him," Korr said, "We listen to him."
