"I killed your father Adeline," he spoke out loud, carefully watching her. "Are you not going to punish me?"The small twitch in her fingers did not go unnoticed by him. She responded after weeks she made a movement on her own.

Now this was slightly dangerous because he had been told by the doctors two not test her mental strength limits for now. Because for adaline she had not only lost her father in the recent months but also her babay. If anything his presence was going to threaten her even more.

"And I did not even stop there. Do you know what happened next?" He taunted. "I—"

"I do not want to know." His eyes widened for a brief second when he heard a monotone voice. For a second it almost seemed like his voice whenever he talked to someone else outside of the family.

"Never mind that I still want to tell you." He stood on his ground, now more than ever.

It was the night that she was avoiding and he knew none now to circle around that to get some kind of reaction from her. If anything he knew that he had to bring Adeline out of her shell to bring her back to reality and the world.

He grinned, "I—"

A knock interrupted them. He found and turned should Adobe. Two balls of the infirmary were often soundproof so that the people that was sick and injured could heal well without having disturbances from outside but it was something that his hearing good cover and he was mainly shock at the fact that being with adaline had him dimm his senses enough to not know who was coming towards them.

"Who is it?" He muttered once again the baritone voice of hairs goes back. The person immediately knew that they were talking to the king.

"Beta Augustus, sir," reply immediately and by the tone of beta lycan he could tell that it was something urgent which is why the disturb his time with Adeline.

He wanted to swear out loud at the fate. Finally he had managed to get out some kind of reaction out of a full stop after weeks, hell, months he had heard her voice but this time and emergency stood in between them and he knew that he had to prioritise as the king's first because the queen was not available.

He sighed, "I'll be back, yeah?"

His heart hope to hear the words come back soon but he was only met with silence. Burying the depression deep in his mind to move forward and strengthened his fine for the king he was. Now was no time to be the mate but the king of the species that bowed down to him.

He opened the door and so that his beatable had unapologetic expression on his face. Waving him off, he walked away from the new in the infamous first where adaline was staying so that he could get her scent out of his senses so that his beast would come back to his own.

"What?"

"The faery King excused your absence. He completely understood the fact that you are made had woken up after a long time and you want to be with her but the problem is we did find vampires, long gone traces of them in the forest."

" Long gone?" He frowned, " but we just came to know about them so stop in fact the king himself told me that he had already been a few days . . ." He cursed, " hug healthy no? It means that I have a mole here or the king has it."

Augustus quietly shook her head. "We would have noticed his or her treachery. It would have been easy for a beast to recognise the signs of disloyalty amongst are subjects for stop it has not happened to which means we don't have one but at the same time," he clicked his tongue, "We can't be sure."

"What else?"

His beta gulped slightly, "we found evidences of witchcraft. Maybe he's looking for a remedy renew the damage or another way around to bring back has mate. We found dead bodies of quite a lot of witches. They were young so we can assume that they were his mates apprentices in which we made but at the same time it's hard to believe that he gave them all."

"He killed them." Xavier confirmed, " Those witches must have told him about Mermaid realm being a day early but still he was caught by us and the ritual was incomplete which is why he took his anger out on the. I won't be surprised if you find more killing of witches."

"Should I tell them?"

The king nodded. The should inform the witches after all it was a given they were on good terms with them and he did not want to risk that. "But do not send for them personally. Convey It to The ambassador here and then write a letter to the king and have it signed by me."

"One more thing," he saved the horrifying information for the last, "we found dead bodies of 13 children over there. In that forest it was 6 bodies of human children and six of supernatural and there was one child. . ."historical

The kings footsteps had long stopped and he just stood there hearing what was being told to him. "And? What?"

"We found a dead child over there."

"Dead?" He repeated.

Augustus nodded. "Dead as in the body had already started to decompose which meant that the mat vampire actually dug up the body of the baby from a graveyard."

He bowed his head slightly as a friend and he was. He prayed for the soul of the baby that had been dug up from a graveyard in its afterlife to have a peaceful journey there, he prayed for the gods above to make sure that men paid for every crime and life he was taking and he prayed that his mate would come back.

The great mighty Alpha Lycan King had now resigned to praying to the goddess instead of taking action himself.

She stood on the balcony and watched as the gardener poured water over the flowers. Those with the seasonal once, she knew about them a lot. Alexander had made sure that all her favourite flowers were on the side of the garden that was over looking their suite.Alexander. . .

She wiped away the stray tear that had fallen from her eye.

This covers for beautiful when they were fully grown but once again as they were seasonal they had started to wilt as the season wore away. The petals has slightly started to brown and she knew that soon the Gardner would pull them out and threw them away.

She wanted to cry out again. Alexander had left her all alone and the flowers were going to and she knew that her number was going to come soon. She had always imagined a beautiful life with him but now that he was no longer there she knew that how boys can no longer be able to carry on with her life without her mate.

Her eyes twitched as she felt new emotions surface inside her. It had been jumbled up a river of them flowing all day and night after Alexander was there and now she had come to the part where she was always angry.

And this time she was angry at a certain someone who knew nothing about the damage that she had caused.

She stepped away from the balcony and moved out of the suite that she had always been in with Alexander and stopped at the door of the infirmary.

She glared at the door hoping that adaline could feel her glare through it. She could hear her calming breaths as if nothing had happened because of her, if no lives had been taken because affair and as if her life was not destroyed because of her.

She fisted her hands tightly, imagining Adeline's neck in between them. Imagining how she would have it in between her fingers into a state and turn it according to her wishes. According to her satisfaction, she would love to hear the crunch.

She turned the knob and and immediately grimaced at the smell. It was heavy with medication and disinfectant. She looked at the bad that looked like it had been made in the morning and had been untouched since then. Where was she is she was not in the bed? Should not be resting?

Her eyes slowly moved around and she analysed the room. Finally her eyes fell at the figure that was sitting in front of a huge window overlooking the capital.

Her blood boil at how peacefully she was sitting there. Her breathd were calm and peaceful as if nothing was happening out of the ordinary and Ashlynn hated that! She also deserves to have such a peaceful life and have a mate that was alive and well.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she felt her loss elongate and her canines come out. She was almost on her way to mid shift.

She slowly walked towards adaline. Enjoying the feeling of the Predator and having had prey in front of her, the root cause of all of our problems. She was going to finish her off today.
