"An umbilical cord?!" Tessa grimaced as she shrieked. "You found that?!"

Cassandra nodded. "Yes I found that in my son's room—no, I actually found that in our room." Cassandra rubbed her head. The tensions were coming to her more than she realised. 

Tessa glanced at Kor and said in a panicked voice, "but we never found anything like that." She turned to everyone, "I swear we found no umbilical cord!" 

"And we believe you," Alexandier spoke up finally breaking his silence, "we believe every word you said."

Tessa calmed down slightly but she still felt query about the man that stood in front of her. "What's happening?" She looked around the room but no one in particular. 

"We honestly have no idea but the warlock here," Cassandra pointed at the tattooed man, "things that involve giving this because you might have gone through something similar is important and might be helpful." 

"Well, was it?" Tessa turned to the man immediately. 

"I can't say anything for sure." The man gave a resigned look. "It does not make sense to how only one of you received the umbilical cord while both of you have the foetus. Something is missing here. Something. . "

"Something what?" Korr snapped, "you need to tell us what is going on in your mind because we don't have the slightest clue of witchcraft." 

Alexandeir turned to him with a furious expression. "Are you accusing me?" 

Javier sighed loudly. "I am sorry Alexandier, but at the end of the day it is witchcraft that is going on here and you agree to tell us what it is because we don't have the slightest of understanding." 

Alexandeir turned to the regent king, "when I promise you that I am not lying about anything and I will not make any claims certain until I am sure." 

He then turns to address the elephant in the room. "It is witchcraft, yes, but it is not a certain spell that I can undo and not many can be undone." He warned the shifters first hand before anyone could ask him to do it. "It is a rather jumble of different spells that do not see the need of being done which is why it is difficult for me to point out something in particular." 

"But," Cassandra spoke up, "you are the leader of a witch coven that has been around for centuries and has one of the strongest defenses, making you quite powerful. How can you say that you do not recognise the spells?" 

"It is not as easy as it seems." Alexandier shook his head. "When someone tries to carry out a certain spell there is a balance carried out on both sides. Here you found both the foetus is inside the houses of the couple, but the umbilical cord was only found in one hence creating the unbalance. So technically the spell would not have worked but it clearly was." He muttered the last line to himself looking up at everyone, especially the. two parents, "did any of you notice the difference in the behaviour of your children?" 

Tessa looked down in her lap before shaking her head no. "Adelene was very depressed for the past few months." 

Cassandra shrugged, "Xavier had busied himself into work." Which Cassandra found normal because she had been there from the very beginning and Xavier often tended to do that. He liked being busy because if he was free, he was reminded of Adaline. 

"So nothing out of the ordinary then?" Alexandeir confirmed and everyone shook their heads no. 

"Well, then it is a jumble of spells and I cannot point to something in particular." Alexandier really could not. When spells were carried out there had to be a proper balance of energies and proper balance of materials, one cancelling out the other and one acting as a catalyst and such suggest was only confusing to have one material was there and other was not. 

"I will require more time to think and come around the facts which is why I have to have access to both of your homes, especially the room the young couple lived in." Alexandier said to both of them. 

"I will be honest with you warlock," Korr spoke up, "I am not exactly comfortable with you coming into my house to touch and prob things when there is a mess all around." 

"I do understand why you come from," Alexandeir huffed, "but if you not realise all really I am the best bet if you have." 

And as unfortunate as that sounded it was the best they had. A leader of a coven that they had relations with was the only thing that could help them. 

"What are you planning to do?" Javier asked the question that was in everyone's mind. "If you want access to our homes we need to know what is going to be carried out in them. At the given moment the relationship with the witches is dicey." 

"It is." Alexandeir did not like that either. It has taken years to build up the little trust they had and blowing it up like this was not going to end well in anyone's favour. If the Lycan King did not trust them then the entire shifting community did not. 

He answered the question asked to him nonetheless, "I am going to look around things and find if the umbilical cord is hidden somewhere or not." He glanced at Korr. "It is very important to find the other end and if I do not then I would have to begin from a completely different angle." 

He looked at the king. Then not only would I have to look at every corner of your house, I will have to make sure that there is nothing else inside your house that could contribute to this spell." 

Listening to his words carefully everyone had questions in their mind yet no one of them forward immediately after he was done. 

Cassandra spoke up very lazyily after sometime, "we might not know a lot of your community but do not take us to be fools, Warlock. I have noticed use cutting around the topic.. So, why don't you tell us what's the spell is used for."
