Were human's hearing that bad? She is wanted her eyes at add alliance figure who was continuously staying ahead of her. How had her in serial human senses not even sense that someone else was in the room with the question mark even the door was closed and should she not have acknowledged someone or at least turned around to see who it was?She scoffed.

It was no fun to play with a prey that was not at all scared of the Predator. It was almost like having handed down their food to them as they did as a toddler. The thrill of kill was absent and irked her.

​​

"Hello, you," cities as she sang out the words like a song. She practically catwalked to wear adaline was and stopped right behind her. "How are you this fine morning? I suppose you must be angry that I have not visited you in so long."

Adeline did not reply and it only made her more angry.

Entitled bitch! Who the hell did she think she was? Just because h er mate was the king she taught herself to be so important?

"Adeline!" She muttered, now confused to why the human was not responding to a full stop if anything she was always on good terms with the human mate.

She walked forward to where adaline was sitting and turned slightly to look at her only to step back in shock.

"A. . Adeline. . ." She whispered back in shock as she stared at the horrible looking human fall stop if she thought that she had it all by then added and was a completely different story.

She looked worst than Cassandra who had lost one of her sons in the small war taken place one night. Her cheeks were sukhen in and she could clearly see her collar bone forming. Her hair look dried and bristle and held its almost purple in colour and which were chapped. Infact, Ashylnn could actually see dried blood on them.

She had lost her maid and Ashley knew that it was some time left for her before helpful for completely give up and she would go Farrell and ultimately would have to be put down but looking at adaline she realised that she had a whole life ahead of a including the guilt of losing a child and the grief that came along with it. The guilt would be staying with a mate who had killed the child with his bare hands.

This time the wolf inside her did not have any more rage instead she bowed down her head and respect her head of the queen that was completely unaware of what had happened and was grieving. Her wolf could sense it and she wanted nothing more than to to assist her queen in whatever they could help in.

Is that why the king; Xavier had refused anyone to meet adeline except for doctors and nurses? This was bad, this was very bad.

"What happened to you?"

"What happened that night?" She muttered back.

Ashlynn was not any kind of shock when she heard Adeline talk back because for her she was not even aware of any kind of condition that Adeline was in. For her it was as normal as a friend talking to her.

"You don't know?" Ashylnn frowned as she had a lens question. Had Xavier not told her and what happened that nigh? Is that at why did not feel sorry or even try to acknowledge her when she entered the room?

Adeline shook her head, she had not even turned to look at Ashlynn till now.

"Okay," she sighed took a seat beside Adeline. "The ritual had commenced a night before Xavier had anticipated which is why we were late in getting you. Otherwise we have planned to not even let the ritual start."

Adeline didn't move.

" The next thing we know as the beta wolf was informed about Mermaid realm having some kind of disturbances and dark magic wives were coming throughout. Supernatural creatures can sense it and then we came to know that the which was taking place a day early." She gulped down her tears.

Alexander excited and proud smile came into her mind as he was excited for his brother's made to come back. For him he did not know that the ritual had already begun and he had assumed that once again their family would be complete.

" The—" she cleared her throat, "they reached there but the ritual was already in the last moments." She difficulty in talking and she barely could choke out the words out of her throat. It was so hard talking about the night that I dropped her off everything.

"they. . The king and his Guards along with our army went in as soon as the good. When the reach there the smell of your blood was already there—"

Adeline moved. Her eyeboew twitched.

" It was healthy in the air as a remember them talking about it. It was as if you had lost a lot of blood and you had because nathaniel had already. . ." She sniffed, heartfelt heavy and Ashleynn knew that she was on the verge of breaking down. The grief was too much and now she remembered the niece that she had who was no longer in this world.

She began to talk about it again or at least try to. If no one had told adaline till now what happened then Ashleynn kneethat it was her responsibility as Adeline had asked her to tell her what had exactly happened that night.

"When they reached there as I said he had already cut out your stomach and taken out your baby will stop would say we're so was a site that horrified every made because he had to choose between his child and has mate life—"

Adeline's eyes lips parted.

"You were losing consciousness and so was your heart losing its beats which is why is we were concentrated on you and when he got back to the child. . .he had to kill—"

"What are you doing!" A voice roared off the walls and Ashlynn jumped back in fright.

The king stood at the door all Ferrell and this time his mate, Adelene, turned around to look at him for the first time 6 weeks.
