Adeline watched as she laid down by her stomach on the bed and her legs dangled in the air to what her aunt was doing. 

Tessa ran around the room in frantic and panicked movements. Dresses were thrown around and so were the shoes and let\'s not even get started on how her aunt\'s makeup table looked like. 

​​

"Why are you even doing it?" Adeline could not help but ask with a small twist of a left. She was confused. 

"Why do you think so?" Tessa snapped at her. "Have I not told you the reason time and again?" 

She nodded but then remembered that her aunt was too panicked to look at her for her reply. "Yes but I also remember that you said you did not want to meet her."

"I did. I did say that." She agreed immediately as she looked around the room for some dress that she must have thrown away before.

"Then why are you looking so panicked?" Adeline huffed and threw her arms in the air. "You do not even want to be with her son yet you are trying to look your best. Should you not focus on being Your worst instead?"

Tessa stopped and turned to Adeline with her hands on her waist. "It looks like you have a lot to learn, young girl." She sighed and stepped closer to the bed and sat down next to her niece. 

"Now, focus," she said as she pointed to Adeline\'s eyes first and then to her own, "I agree that I do not want this relationship and the fact that Korr brought me here forcefully but that does not change the fact that we cannot go back to our world." She had accepted the hard fact over the months when she had tried religiously but then remembered that she could not leave until unless she knew the way to the portals which she had heard from somewhere she was never going to be given the way of. 

"And since I cannot leave and I will make the man miserable I cannot look miserable to the woman itself. We are humans but I am going to tell her that I am anything but weak." 

Adeline nodded understanding her point of you about everything except one, "but how does it matter if you dress well? Should it not be your intellect?" 

"It should." She agreed, "but I am going to make sure that she knows I have a strong personality, intelligence and the fact that I can dress well." 

Adeline scowled, "who is it that cannot less well?" 

Tessa stood up and ran her eyes on Adeline\'s outfit. "The one house wearing two shades of one colour. Remind me to choose your clothes before she comes." 

Adeline sighed. This woman with intellect was panicking.

She did come and the women had demanded to have dinner immediately. Apparently she had come from far enough and she would like to retire after having an early dinner. 

So they were all sitting in the dining room as the servants were going around serving them food.

Adeline loved to admire people for the strength and this time she could see the woman having a commanding stance. 

"So Teresa," Mrs. Jenna Quill spoke up finally, "how have you been settling in?" 

"Well, Mrs. Quill, thank you." Her aunt answered justice powerfully and politely. 

The elder Lycan women hummed in return. "That is nice." She commented and then her eyes turned to Adeline making her grip her fork tightly. 

"Hello young queen," she smiled and bowed her. 

Adeline panicked and stared at the woman and then turned to Korr with wide eyes. 

He nodded, "Mother, Adeline is not addressed like that in this house. You can call her by her name."

"Oh?" The woman muttered in slight shock. "Well I could never do that to a queen." 

"I am not the queen." Adeline added hurriedly. 

"Not yet," Jenna smiled tightly, "I want to know why you would give that title up and be called by your name. That is clear disrespect and my beast cannot do that to you." 

Every beast wanted to be bonded with adaline, females especially. They longed for it. It did not help that Adeline was practically asking them to overlook her title and talk to her normally. 

Jenna looked at Tessa. "Have you not told her anything?" 

"What?" Tessa stared back at her, "This is her choice on how she wants to be treated regarding this matter. Can we stop talking about it?" She whispered directly to the woman knowing well that she could hear her words. Tessa had noticed the visible discomfort that Adeline was facing. 

Jenna looked at Adeline, then at Tessa and then at Korr, whom she addressed, "what is this? Are you going to tell me now that none of them have taken our last name?" 

"They have." He answered and his playful expression vanished. "Both of them have a last name."

"Well that\'s a clear relief." She sighed and sipped the alcohol before draining it completely. 

She looked adeline, "my dear girl, If you ever need help with anything regarding your Queenship do come to me. I have a lot of stuff to teach you." She looked at Tessa with disdain, "I don\'t think she can." She shook her head, "No, she can\'t." 

Oh no, Adeline could practically feel aunt\'s anger. 

"Excuse me?" Tessa gritted her teeth, "what do you—"

"If you think that you can teach your niece the first thing that you should know is never to show your anger in public." Jenna raised a finger, "if your niece does that as the Queen it would never put a good impression on her." 

Adeline closed her eyes. Why was this happening? 

They both were ready to argue. She could understand why Jenna wanted to help her but she was not sure if it was genuine or not. 

She turned her eyes to Korr, who looked up from his plate, as he was eating peacefully, as if he felt someone\'s eyes on him. 

She pleaded with him with her eyes. She could not stand being argued about in the place where she was eating or living. 

He stared at her before he let out a growl, "I understand your concerns but do not forget that you have a child in your presence." His voice was firm and powerful, "Never make the mistake of arguing about her again. If Adeline wants to talk about it with you then she will."

He then waited as both of them quieted down and stared at him, "resume your meals, please." He said, going back to his own. 

Adeline was grateful for Korr.
