Korr placed the phone down on the receiver after he had given Adaline a good bye. He looked at the telephone in slight wonder. He had never understood the purpose of it but since the government had told him to get one he could not refuse.

It was at that time he open his hearing to what was happening in the other parts of the house when he had multiple footsteps on the stairs making him walk outside the office.

"What is going on?" Korr asked Javis as his eyes narrowed dangerously at him.

Javis gave a slightly pointed look to Tessa indicating that it was her decision who was looking back at Korr with her arms folded across chest and chin tilted up with attitude. historical

"Tessa?" Korr asked his mate and completely ignored the presence of the warlock.

"You did not tell him the truth. In fact, you guys never told him anything!" She accused him without missing a beat. "How in the world is supposed to find something out without taking much time when he doesn't even know what we know in the first place!"

Korr cocked a brow. "And what is it that he does not know?" Also to not forget someone was being overly bratty and was on her way to get a spanking.

Tessa all but scoffed. "She has no knowledge about how they killed. . ." Tessa gulped, "about how they killed Adeline's baby."

Korr narrowed his eyes even further conveying his displeasure for the event to be known to someone else without his permission. "You told him that?"

Tessa gave him a curt nod but just as she was about to speak in her defence the warlock spoke up,

"You should have told me along with the king what was happening. Rather what has happened. Do you realise how much time I could have wasted trying to find out more information when you could have easily provided it to me?!" Alexandier hissed in anger as his eyes flashed violently. The warlock seemed angry enough to have his true nature flash in front of them.

Javis stepped in front of Teresa knowing well that his master was going to be busy with the warlock.

With narrowed eyes, Korr stepped towards him. "Do not talk to me like that in my house warlock. What I did was for a reason."

"What you did along with the king," Alexandeir corrected, "not only did you to hide it for me you made me go all the way back to figure out some way you knew!"

"If you do not understand the need for me to know everything and find out to give you the solution then I shall walk out of here and never come back." Alexandier chuckled.

Korr's eyes narrowed again. He had no problem in recognising a threat when he saw one and this was one made in regards to the situation with the king and Adaline.

"Your kind has not been supportive of the entire situation so you cannot hold it against us, Warlock, for not telling you what exactly has been going on when it was a witch that did it all." Korr replied but was calm in comparison to the warlock. "How are we to ever know and be reassured that you have no involvement in any of all this?"

Alexandier chuckled and shook his head in front of the Lycan. "Now I understand you. If that is the case then you would have no problems in me walking out forever. Perhaps you could find someone who would be happy to give you constant reassurances."

That was a warning. Alexandier was warning them off about what would happen if this was repeated but Korr could not bear to talk with the fact that he was being talked like this in his own house.

"If you want to go, then you can leave." Korr all but pointed his hand to the direction of the door, "nobody would stop you."

Tessa's eyes popped out. "No, no," she rounded javis and stood between her mate and the Warlock. "You can't go anywhere. He can't go anywhere!" Tessa shrieked at her mate making him wince slightly along with the other two men that were in the room.

Korr chided her softly. "I can hear you very well my love. Perhaps you might want to stop yelling?"

Tessa huffed. " This man," she pointed to the wall clock, "is not going anywhere until he tells us everything that we have to do to get rid of this—this monstrosity—"

Alexandier intervented, "A spell—"

"Shh!" Tessa hissed at him with glaring eyes blazing fire.

She turned to Korr once again. "Now you're going to be more troublesome or would you let him do his job while telling him what he should know!"

Korr sighed, "Tes—"

"No! Don't you get it?" Tessa spat in frustration. "He managed to get inside our house and place something in her room. None of us were aware, so how is it possible that something might be going on now and none of us would know?"

All she knew the man responsible behind it could actually kill Adelaide while she was in front of everyone. Why in the world would can Teresa take a chance with the owner family member she had left alive?

Her niece had already suffered so much and God be damned if she would let it continue on her watch.

Korr began, "Tess—"

"I don't want to hear it." Tessa said as she raised her palm to stop her mate from talking. "The only thing that we are going to do now and focus on is getting this man to know every thing that he should know. If you want you can come with us to the palace and if you don't, it is completely fine by me."

"Tessa, you know very well that I did not mean it like that." Korr sighed and step to towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders lightly squeezing them. "It's just that I do not trust him. If it is me that you think does not trust him, he also does not trust us."

Fuck, Tessa closed her eyes. Why did it have to be so tough?
