Obsession: the Lycan king's Human Mate

Chapter 295 - The Aunt's Protection - II

For this problem Tessa seriously could not rack her brain for an answer. If these two grown men do not trust each other then how was she a human supposed to make them do that? 

That's when she remembered that it was not just her problem. 

"I don't know," Tessa shrugged. "how about we just go to the palace and see about it? Xavier is in this problem as much as Adaline is and I think his parents might have a better input than us." 

Instead of waiting for all three of the men to say something or even acknowledge what she said Teresa walked past them and outside the house. The next stop she made was in front of the car because she did not have the keys. 

Only if she had remembered to brought them her exit would have been even more dramatic. 

Korr and the Warlock came outside and she could hear the jiggling of keys in his hand. Korr opened the head office and then rounded the car to sit in the driver's seat as the Warlock took the seat in the back.

In a matter of seconds it started to drive and the nervousness started to creep into her heart. Teresa had not thought of this far. 

What is the never found answer to what was happening? One of the most frightful things above the list was when she heard that Adeline had been cut open and her baby have to be killed. 

Note that Teresa would have agreed with the Teenage pregnancy but if it was already done and she was pregnant, she would have taken care of the baby and Adeline as much as she could. But only to know the baby had been ripped away from Adaline made Teresa almost lose her mind especially in the way that it was done. 

However she was really hoping that Cassandra would know what to do. She was in this as much as Teresa was which made it seem like they were both sailing in the same boat and if they were both sailing in the same boat then they might as well help each other because it concerned their children. 

For Teresa it seemed like the palace Guards recognised Korr's car from afar because instead of stopping them for security check they had opened the door even before they reached it. 

It was as if they had been anticipating their arrival because Cassandra and Javier were waiting on the foyer for them. 

"How are you?" Cassandra stepped towards Teresa and kissed her cheek. "We don't know exactly how it went down but the fact that you were coming here. Is everything alright?" 

"Let them breathe Casey," Javier sighed. 

He then turned to Korr. "Can it wait until it is moved to the meeting room?"

Korr nodded but Alexandier spoke up, " It can. How—"

The warlock fell quiet before entering his eyes dangerously and eyeing the entire floor. Not only that but it seemed to breathe heavily, as if sniffing for something in particular. 

"Is everything Alright?" Cassandra asked slightly concerned for the sudden change of behaviour. 

Alexandier did not answer her. He stepped away from everyone. 

He started working deeper into the palace and instead of going up the stairs he slipped past them and walked further in. 

Seeing him disappear from their side everyone followed him only to find him standing in front of a wall. 

"What is happening, Warlock?" Javier asked Alexandeir. "Are you going to give us some explanation for this behaviour?" 

"I am certainly planning to." The warlock replied. "I felt like I found something." 

"Felt?" Tessa repeated. "Did you actually find it?" 

Alexandier glanced her way before shaking his head. "Perhaps, It was just a fleeting thought." 

Tessa heard him loud and clear but did not believe him even a single bit. For a moment it seemed like he had found something but then all of a sudden he stopped in the middle of the hallway and said that it was a fleeting thought. 

Tessa passed an impressed look towards Korr who nodded back. 

"Well, if there is no one then perhaps we can move forward with it?" Cassandra said, glancing at everyone with the hopeful expression on her face. "The children are going to be back soon and I think the king is going to ask for a report about what happened. We need to have a reason for that."

The very reason why there had been a huge problem of a dead person being in the room with the stinking smell. The connection is between the foetus and the cord that they found in the castle and the only foetus that they found in the Quinn mansion. 

Alexandier nodded and just as he was about to take a step forward his nose moved up into the air and it twitched. 

"Alright, there is something that is clearly bothering you and we cannot catch that smell." Javier spoke up. "How about you tell us what it is?" 

"Someone is in your palace." The Warlock started to walk forward as he murdered the words making it even more ominous than it needed to be. "I suppose it is some one of my nature." 

"Your nature?" Tessa repeated his words, confused slightly to what they could mean. 

"Witchcraft." Came Cassandra's reply who was standing next to her and following the warlock. 

Javier chuckled but from where Teresa was standing, she could tell that it was anything but out of amusement. "I do not stand for this warlock. If this has anything to do with you—"

Alexandier intervened. "The people that I bring with me are the ones they recognised by your staff. Just because you are the most powerful family amongst shifters does not make this palace inpenetrable even with high security. A witch has entered the palace and I say you put it on high alert until we find it." 

If it had never happened before then Teresa's heart sank even more to the floor.
