Cassandra fumed in anger as she charged towards the bathroom. If it was another maid that was sitting inside the closet to appear firm and taut tits and ass in front of her Mate and this time she was going to set an example for sure.

Cassandra slammed the doors open and charged into the bathroom to look around for the girl with her claws coming out.

She checked the entire bathroom and sniffed but found no one. The only scent that was in the bathroom was of the similar cleaning lady, her mate and her.

What the hell did she see then?! She once again checked the entire room and sniffed continuously. There was no other scent no matter how hard she tried to focus on something foreign.

She huffed and moved out of the bathroom. There was nothing there. She closed the door and turned around to leave the room. Just as she stepped out of the room and closed the door hearing a click a horrid smell caught her nose.

Cassandra grimaced at it. It was shit. It literally felt like someone died. It was a routing and hug but could no longer ikat making her gag with lightspeed coming out. She had to close her nose because of a highlightended sense of smell. She pinched the ends of nostrils together.

Cassandra wanted to open it and check but the stench was so horrid that she immediately started moving away from the room. It seemed like the centre of the smell was coming from the room itself and Cassandra wanted to be nowhere near it.

She moved away but the smell remained even when she exited the hallway and moved down the stairs. It was at the centre of her nose.

She heaved slightly as she gagged. It was too much!

Just as she was going to take another step downstairs she heard a scream and a familiar scent wafted in her nose. She found it hard to believe that the scent belonged to a certain someone and he was here. Without waiting and thinking about the scream that seemed to be horrifying for anyone to hear. She started going back upstairs completely ignoring the smell as she pinched her nostrils together.

She opened the door only to gaped at the sight of what was in the door. The room that she was in previously and just moments ago.

She heard footsteps, many footsteps. "What happene—" Javier barged into the room and stared at the sight just as Cassandra did. The only difference was he wrapped his arms around his mate protectively.

The vase was on the ground and broken into pieces. But that was not what horrified every one of them. It was the way the roses looked. The red fully bloomed roses that Cassandra had admired were now black and wilted. Almost to the level of being burnt.

Right next to it was the soil. It was obvious as anyone who stepped into the room human or supernatural one could tell that it was the figure that stank of rot.

"What the hell is that?" Javier spat as he pushed Cassandra behind him and slowly started to near the black mass. "I have never seen anything like this before." As the brother of the king he had seen his fair share of incidence and evidence. Not only that but he had been through some battles, fights and situations where one could not think of surviving.

This was something she had never seen. It was pure rot and flesh of the dead. Yet he did not see a body anywhere.

"I don't know. . ." Cassandra whispered in distraught. "I do not know what just happened but I thought I smelled Xavier and that scream. The scream came from the room but there is no one here." She whimpered slightly. The smell was making her think the worst.

"Do you think that this is some kind of bad omen?" Cassandra asked everyone in the room.

No one retired because no one had an answer. There was no reason that could be ascertained as to why this happened.

"We do not know that here your highness," Beta Igao shook his head, "I think we need to get people inside to check on this. For now it will be better for the both of you to shift outside the room into a well protected and warded one. For all we know this room is cursed." He said at the end as his eyes moved around the room to find any object related to using witchcraft to curse people.

That made Cassandra panic further. "What do you mean by that? I found a bouquet of roses in Xaviers room! It was in his room does that mean that he is the one who is cursed?!" She shrieked much to everyone's dismay. The smell was already messing up with their highlighted senses and her shrieking at the top of her voice made them all wince.

"Calm, my love." Javier took her in his arms. "We need to think about every possibility."

Not only that but they had to get the smell out of the room along with the mass that stank. The piece of flesh that is found in the office of their son Xavier and now this vase which was also found in his bedroom.

Xavier was the target and there was no second thought about it.

The only son and child that he was left with now was the target of what was going on and by the looks of it it was something grave and unthinkable.

The beta nodded to Javier excusing himself and going forward to take care of the whole situation.

Javier untangled himself from Cassandra who had a death grip on him. "I need to go, my Love. How about you settle into the library while I come back? I need to see this situation through and it might take me a lot of time."

She looked hesitant. The only member that she had near her and she could protect was going away but she did not stop him. Cassandra knew that since Xavier was not here Javier had to take care of many responsibilities.

She moved out of the room once again, hoping whatever it was would not come back.
