Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 286 - A House Check - II

Sincere apologies for not updating for the past week. I had really, really bad couple of days. Have a wonderful day ans night!

From the corner of her eye, Teresa could see the butler move upstairs as they walked out of the house. 

"Really Korr?" She snapped at the man who was dragging her out. "You have never trusted that man and now you are going to throw me out on his command?" This was outrageous. 

"Suggestion." Korr corrected immediately but did not stop pulling her until they came to a gazebo. 

Teresa let him do that. She scoffed when he corrected her. 

Once they stopped, Tessa could not help but seeth at the man, "suggestion? What the hell did you drag me out? Adeline is my niece more than she is useful stuff she is my blood!" 

A growl slipped out of his mouth. "Don't say that, Teresa. Adeline is my niece just as she is yours. If I did not feel the bond with her I would have never given her my name."

His name? Perhaps that was just the problem and the root cause of it all. If they did not have his name or they did not just meet him everything would have been alright. 

They would have left in their world peacefully and moved on from everything but here they were fighting to stay alive from an unknown source that might be present in the house that they were unaware of. 

"Forget about that," Tessa waved it off by raising hands dramatically in the air trying to brush off the anger she felt, "how about you just tell me what he is trying to find inside?" 

Korr raised a brow in return. "Did not get what we just told you?" 

Tessa barely managed to suppress the frustrated ground that she was going to release. 

"What I mean. . '' She sighed loudly. This was getting too much and Teresa was running out of words for what to say. 

"Come here," Korr whispered, tired of watching his mate in visible distress. This was not the life that he had hoped for nor was what he had imagined when he found his mate but since he was in this he was going to make sure that they were all safe. 

"Take a deep breath and tell me what it is that you want to know. I cannot let you in because you are human." He explained everything very gently and as softly as possible. "It is a liability for you that will continue till the very end and I cannot change that unfortunately." 

" So I cannot ever become better than a human?" 

He chuckled. "Well that is Something completely different that you talk of and something you're not ready to make a decision for. We will talk about it some other time." 

Korr pulled back from the heart and looked at her with a loving gaze and gentle expression, something that had been reserved completely for her. "Now my love I want you to think and understand what it is that you want to say. Process your thoughts and let me know." 

Teresa nodded and let it all sink in. 

As far as she knew there was something inside the house that had previously been cleared but she was still not sure if it was there or not. If they found out more than that could mean that something was very gravely wrong. But what if . . . .

"Sir," Javis stood at the port of the house looking at them with his hands behind his back, "Sir Alexandier has moved from young Adeline's room and is seeking permission to go into yours." 

Korr gave his mate a worried glanze who did not seem to hold the same emotions as him. 

"We should go in," said she, "please I need to say what's going on inside!"

Unable to say no to that innocent face filled with curiosity inside, he gave her a nod and held his hand and led her behind him. 

The short amount of time in which Korr led back into the house and to their room he made sure to hold her hand and keep her behind him. 

Alexandier was already waiting for them in front of the room. "Now?" He pointed to the door. 

"Go ahead," Korr told him but did not move from where he was standing. Even if he had agreed to let Teresa inside the house he was not going to let her directly close to what could be a potential source of the magic. 

Alexandier opened the room to the bedroom and the small twinkling lights of little faeries went inside with him. 

Tessa stood on her toes to see what it was about but the huge man in front of her was blocking her way. 

She huffed. 

Instead of repeating the action again Teresa patiently waited for the warlock to come back so that she could shoot him with her questions. 

But when he did Teresa fell silent because of the expression that was on his face. The warlock appeared to be torn, confused and slightly angry. 

"What?" Korr asked with a small frown. "I did not hear your mutter spell." 

"That is because I did not," Alexsandeir agreed, "Bu—"

The shrill ringtone of the phone made the warlock silent at the interruption. His eyes moved to the master of the house in question. 

"Excuse me," Korr did not find himself to have any reason to apologize for a work call. He moved to his office but not before giving the butler a silent node to keep an eye on his mate. 

However it was the number on the phone that made him frown in question again. The number clearly did not belong to anyone in the capital and that only made him slightly cautious because his number was not distributed, especially the work phone, to many people. 

Who was it? 

He picked up the phone, "Who is it?" He said, very much suspicious of who it could be. 

"Uncle Korr?" Adeline's soft and hesitant voice made him soften his stance. "Do you have a minute?"
