Chapter 256 - The Stinking Roses - III



Cassandra waited patiently in the tea parlour that she had not been in for quite a while because she was handling the duties of the queen. Many of them were pending because Adaline had not resumed her role. 

To be honest it had been a mess everywhere but Cassandra along with the beta female has started to collect pieces trying to get it all back together because even before Adaline the position of the Luna Queen was empty. It had been more than a decade. 

The doors opened and Cassandra looked to whom it was because she was focused in her thoughts rather than listening to who was near her. It was the unimpressed beta female. 

Beta Female Miyo. 

"I was waiting for you to acknowledge me and asked me to come inside," Miyo said as she closed the door behind her and took a seat beside Cassandra, "but you will lose in your own thoughts. Is it time for you to be lost in your thoughts rather than paying attention to what is happening around you?" 

Cassandra clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Miyo, when you lose one son and are on the verge of losing another daughter while this youngest son is threatened as well, you tend to go crazy in your thoughts." She ground roughly as she raked her fingers through her hair. "I don't understand what is happening." 

Miyo nodded in understanding. "I heard. This is not good. However, we have called the witches over. Your room has been secured. They will check." 

Cassandra groaned. "How is that supposed to sit well with me because for all I know witches were responsible for this. I want to trust them, I do but when this happens it only tells me that there is some kind of unkind magic involved and that is only what witches do!" 

"I agree," Miyo nodded again with a shake of her own head, "but our ancestors shared a blood treaty and so does our current ruler. If the king or even someone remotely close knows about anything of the sort they will die on the spot and we will know." 

Would they? Cassandra wanted to ask and the question was on the tip of a tongue but she refrained. 

She huffed. " Should we go there? I want to be there and know what's happening." 

Miyo nodded and escorted Cassandra to the site where they were supposed to meet the witches. Their mates found a visible diff approver but that took them in their arms. 

Javier frowned as he looked down in his arms where his mate was, "I thought I said that you were supposed to stay inside. Why would you come out?" 

"My son was threatened, you cannot expect me to stay away. Even if I cannot contribute then I would like to know everything." She spoke hurriedly. Everyone knew that that was a mother talking but as a citizen if the current king died with no heir then their Kingdom would be in a deadly situation where no one was coming out alive. 

The witches arrived through the portals because that was the fastest way of coming here. The leader of the biggest witch coven greeted The regent king. 

"Alexandier," Javier greeted the man, "I must thank you for coming here as soon as possible." 

The warlock replied calmly, his expressions never changing just as the Lycan king, "your message clearly betrays that one of our kind is troubling you. I had to look into it." 

Javier nodded and without waiting for another minute to pass they all moved inside. With the supernatural speed they were in the room of the happening within seconds. 

"This is the sight," Javier pointed out the obvious, "would you like to know about what happened exactly?" 

The warlock, Alexandeir nodded. 

Cassandra began, " I brought the roses from my son's room who is not here at the moment. The roses were not at all wilted and they were in full bloom when I brought them to my room. I changed the vase and cut them to the classic shape when I saw I heard something but I saw no one going to the bathroom."

"Then when I was almost at the end of the stairs ice made my son and heard cream nly to come to the room. . .to this." She pointed there. 

"Full bloom roses?" The warlock mumbled, "that is a magic trick a kid can perform. Often we place magic on flowers to make them live long. I need something more to connect the events." He told the truth. The Lycans smelled it. 

Javier and the beta Igao look at each other before nodding and taking them to another stinking place also known as the king's office. 

"Now this is something," the warlock numbled with an amused expression, "can you tell me what this is?" He pointed with his finger to the Mass looking like a rope. 

"It looks awfully familiar. . ." Miyo mumbled as she squinted her eyes at the piece of skin trying to remember where she had seen it. 

Alexandeir Chuckled. "Of course you have. You have two children." 

Miyo and Cassandra settled for a second before it came to them, making them gasp in horror.

"Yes," Alexandeir confirmed with a nod of his head, "this is a umbilical cord." 

Shit, Javier realised, this was bad. An umbilical cord was found in Xavier's office. 

"I think I know what was the stench up in your room," Alexandeir spoke again, "there has to be a foetus in the vase that you brought from your son's room. It is still there, is it not?" He titled his head out of curiosity. 

"It. . .it. ." Cassandra mumbled as her hand palmed her mouth. Without waiting for anyone she shook the hands off her mate on her and ran up to the room. 

She moved closer to the vase and tilted it upside down only for a to drop something black in colour. 

Javier followed her inside seconds after but by looking at the pale face of his mate, he knew that the warlock was right.
