Turning the car off she placed her head on the steering wheel and just stayed there. Tessa had no idea how she was supposed to go in the house with information that added and was missing and the rest of the group was dead. Approximately 30 people were dead and her child was missing.Her brother was this close to wanting her ass.

"Oh god," she sniffed and closed her eyes as a sob came out. "What am I to do? How am I supposed to look at my brothers pictures even?"

​​

She had one responsibility which was to make sure that adaline was alright and thriving. She had completely failed at both of it. She had allowed adaline to grieve for as much as she wanted and she even let it happen for 6 months straight without the mention of therapy even once. She was the worst guardian any child could ever have.

"Oh my god." She sighed again and leaned back to her seat. This was not good. What was she supposed to do now except for waiting?

With barely any energy left unlike with how much he was buzzing with earlier as she was waiting for Adeline to arrive, she dragged herself inside, closed the door and locked it shut as she threw the keys on the counter and then threw herself on the couch.

A fucking painful day it was. She hated it.

"Hello. Would you like a glass of water?"

Tessa screamed and stood up from the couch looking for the source of the voice that she found was on the doorway to the kitchen. She screamed at the sight of the man as she pointed a finger at him.

"What the fuck!" She shrieked. "How in the world did you get in?!"

He winced at the loudness of it. "Please mam, calm yourself. The more loud you speak the new normal tone the more amplified I hear it."

Kaisa looked at him with wide eyes as she heard the man talk. He talked in a calm and soothing voice. It never goes beyond a level of frequency and it was almost like he was murmuring the words more like actually talking.

"What in the world makes you think that I am going to do like you fucking say! What are you doing in my house?" She screamed even more louder than before. She did not give a shit about what the man said.

The man's eyes flashed. She is what she saw a flash of gold in in them and stepped back almost tumbling at the table that was behind her. He shook his head slowly and came towards her.

"You surely have a foul mouth for a beautiful woman. Nothing to worry about as I might change that." He smiled at her, like she was nothing but it doll to be adored.

"What?" She whispered out, grossed by the man. "What do you mean? IV been going to tell me anything or are you just going to stand there like an idiot!" She hissed.

He moved from where he was standing earlier which was leaning against the door frame. He stepped forward with the finger up in the air as he pointed to something that she had said. "Now that is more like it. I understand you even better than before since you are not yelling but still a little bit louder than my preference."

She did not say anything. He was fucking psycho.

He came to stop at the beginning of the sofa and she was at the end of it. It was a good 3 seater long couch and he was grateful that he had maintained the distance.

"I have been sent here on the behalf of the King as he was not able to make the journey. However I am quite surprised for what I have found."

"What?" She spat. "What king? Island?"

He chuckled. "No, the king of the entire shapeshifting well, Alpha King Xavier Rivera."

River boy? Tessa narrowed her eyes. She knew the tale. Adelime had often told her about this just to lighten her heart and she knew everything.

"What about him?" How voice cut through like a knife. "Why is he back in adaline's life?"

The man's finger twitched and Tessa had been watching hair which such interest that she immediately noticed that.

"I would suggest you to take the names of the king and queen with utmost respect." This beast did not like the fact that his king and queens authority was challenged. "I understand that you are a close family member but until unless it is stated that you can call them without protocol I would advise you not to do so in front of anyone."

Okay, he was bonkers. Now, it was confirmed.

She stared at him and she stayed back with much more passion. She wondered what kind of man he was and with the look in his eyes Tessa knew that she was not safe. Without thinking twice she turned and made run for the door.

Within moments she felt arms circle around her waist and she was not even 10 steps away from where she had been prior. The man pulled her to his chest and she immediately felt sparks all over her back because of which she stood still before struggling like a mad woman.

"Let go! Let me go!" She screamed and thrashed around scratching his arms and kicking his legs to make sure that somehow she would be released and would be able to get away from this psycho.

"Would you please calm down," he sighed and she looked up at his humongous height with an angry expression on her face.

"What?!" She barked. "Let go! I am going to report you to the police for this!"

He smiled and placed her down. "I was expecting you to be the queens and but not only that you are actually my mate which is why I cannot let you go now. I hope you would have enough of this life time to spend together." He smiled before she felt a slight prick on her neck.
