Chapter 151 - Her Niece - II



She sighed and watched them closely. Adeline had still not shown any signs of waking up not even remotely close. So after weeks, finally they all had decided it was time for her to have a bath. The first thing Tessa had suggested was her to be given a good head wash so that the softness and the shine her hair had earlier would return. She knew how much her niece loved her hair and care she gave them. She even told them to give her a mask.

The ladies left after giving adaline a good sponge bath along with washing hair and then drying them. Tessa placed them in a side braid so that even though she was sleeping she would be comfortable.

​​

"Here you are," Korr, her mate as the man claimed came into the room with the love sick smile on his face and sat down beside her on the couch. "How are you love? Hungry, should I order something for you to eat?"

She shook her head. "No, thank you." She declined politely. He was too caring but she weary from him. 

They both sat in silence.

Tessa had the questions on the tip of her tongue but she was afraid to ask them. She wanted to know more for his sake of herself and the child that she still had in her guardianship. Even the adaline was unconscious to wanted to be as helpful as she could when Adaline woke up.

She gulped and glanced at the man quickly who was watching her silently.

"Ask." He gently commanded as it had read her mind already.

She bit her lip nervously. She knew that as a human she did not have a lot of control over her self or anything regarding that concerned her because she was not powerful enough and that immediately gave all her rights at the hands of her mate. She had actually read this.

"I. . I . Don't know where to begin from. . " she admitted openly. She was entitled to questions and have them on such as she had no idea about any of them and after so long Tessa had no idea where to begin with.

"When is she going to wake up?" She asked about her niece. Her main concern was adeline.

The man smiled patiently and she could see a small hint of sadness in his eyes. "Tessa, how about we stick to a safe topic that is regarding you and me. The matters of queen's health are highly confidential and they are only to be between royal family until and unless, her highness herself recognises you and me as close family members. Until then we are not allowed to have any details regarding her health."

She gulped and looked away. Even though Korr had tried to put the words as softly as he could she could not help but feel a little hurt by them. Adalyn was her sole responsibility and it was obvious that she wanted to know what was going on regarding her health.

" Okay," she came back to the topic at hand. Perhaps asking about what was going on in their lives would be more knowledgeable. " What are you?"

"What?" He chuckled. "I told you."

She agreed with a nod, " Yes but I need to know more. Ju-just tell me everything." She stuttered at the intensity of which he was staring at her. He had such passionate eyes that Tessa was after not able to look in them for long.

He hummed and shifted before answering her question, "all right. I would advise you to get comfortable."

She glanced around her. A glass and a jug filled with water were kept near so she took a question and got comfortable as she turned to him to continue.

"If you are interested with how we all originated I have no correct answer to give to you. There are rumours and different folklores to how we all came into this world but none of them have the enough amount of evidence to back it all up. The only thing that has remained common in between them was our love for the night that is for the moon and how she was a goddess. Which is why the only thing that can be said from certainty is from generation she has been our God." He sighed and looked at Adeline.

"Lycans, her favourite which was assumed because they were the most powerful of all animals. Werewolves are Powerful too but Lycans are more powerful than them which is why they were royalty and generation from generation have ruled the entire shapeshifting realm. Your niece is the next queen." He looked back at Tessa, " Any doubts for now?"

She shook her head but then in the middle of a changed it to a nod. "How is it that there are so many rumours and folklore about your origination but there is no definite tale? Everyone has one theory that is set out to be the one that is most likely true. For us it was evolution from monkeys."

He nodded with a smile on his face, happy that she was paying attention. " Yes, true, but that was because you have researched about it. Their findings about you were written down and left for others to continue the research about. But when the plague hit us and the great war had an effect on the population which had died down, the stories died along with them which is why we don't try to find out how we originated, we could but don't."

" Why?" She stressed. It didn't make sense.

He shrugged, " perhaps we all know that it was a blessing brought on by our moon goddess. It is a common assumption made by all of us that she bless us with unnatural amount of strength and speed and healing. So if you want a definite story that is the one I can provide you with."

She felt like he was hiding something from her. Blessed but why? Gods did not perform blessings until unless asked. He was hiding something. 

"Leave, that," she waved it off, " tell me what would happen to Adeline."
