"What in the world?" Korr said in disgust as he immediately ran to his maid who was shaken out of her mind. His eyes moved to the black mass and he cursed under his breath. 

He guided her in his arms and immediately pulled her into his chest as Javis stood over the black mass that appeared on the floor. 

"Why would you go back inside not called as when you noticed that something was wrong?" He chided softly in her ear. 

The entire room gave him every negative Vibe of witchcraft he could feel via his beast. He said the compelling need to call the cleansers from the temple from both his culture and of witchcraft to get his house cleaned thoroughly. 

Tessa did not reply to him. It all had been so sudden and so scary that she could not even think of what she was supposed to say to the man who had gathered her in his arms and was comforting her. 

Who was the girl? She never answered yet appeared to be just like Adaline and every bit of her seems to be opposite from her niece. 

It was like two sides of the coin. The street and respectful Adeline had completely changed. . But that was the irony of the situation. That was not adaline and that was not human. 

Teresa had no doubt that that thing was not a werewolf or any shape shifter. 

"What was it?" Her soft voice drew the attention of two men in the room. "That was not a human and not a shapeshifter." 

Korr sighed loudly. The day had barely begun and he felt tired already. "Unfortunately I cannot tell you for sure until I know what happened in this room. Do you think you can rely on every bit of the incident?" 

Tessa gulped and shook her head. It was too horrific to remember what she could feel the incident play in her mind on a constant loop which is why it\'s important to her that she had to get it out. 

"I need to get out of the room first," she demanded, "it\'s too stuffy in here. I cannot breathe." Teresa found it difficult to talk but it took on the challenge to relay her demands to her mate. 

She felt herself being lifted up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He did not step near the black mass and moved outside the room as the butler locked it shut. 

Korr carried her down the stairs and they went to the living room where she was placed on his lap before sitting down on the couch himself. The Butler brought in some water and immediately offered it to her. Teresa took it from him gratefully. 

She took a small sip. 

"Tell me if you are comfortable enough," Korr said gently. He wanted to know. He was desperate to know what happened in his house and to his mate but if he was not comfortable enough to tell him that he had to wait. 

She nodded. "I . . H-heard something inside and when I saw and turned back to check there so no one. Then I thought that something must have been knocked over in Adeline\'s room and when I went to check I saw someone exactly like Adelene sitting there." 

Korr\'s brows furrowed. " What?" He glanced at Javis who appeared to be just as shocked. 

She nodded. "It was almost as if it was her sitting there and if I was not aware that she was in the not I would have actually taken her as Adaline." She huffed, shaking her head, "I couldn\'t believe it. But when she started talking I literally noticed the difference. She might be a carbon copy of Adaline but the way she talked and the way. . . I could tell that she was not adaline. She taunted me and all of a sudden she started heaving and gasping for air. And then she started to cough out dirt."

"Dirt?" Javis cringed. 

Tessa nodded. "Soil, dirt, like that." She elaborated, making the men frown more. 

"Well," Javis swallowed before he started to speak, "we know for sure that cannot be the young mistress. She is in the north and if she had to come then she would for sure walk through the front door and I would know that not only that but the king foot drop for home himself. So we have one fact established that the young miss was definitely not there." 

"Then who was it?" Tessa hissed as hot tears burned her eyes. "That was surely not my niece. She might look like Adeline but the way she talked and respected and the way she taunted that was something Adeline would never do." 

Korr gave out a sigh. He was rubbing his forehead with one hand around the waist of his mate. This was going to be a huge allegation against one of their allies and he as an Ambassador knew what it could mean for all of them. 

"It is witchcraft then." Korr concluded as he looked at the butler with a pointed look. "It is witchcraft because no one else can do anything like this. Even siren\'s or mermaid magic is not as grave and dark as this." 

Javis nodded and Tessa cuddled close. 

"None of this leaves the house until I talk further to people about this. Accusing witches is a serious offence especially in the house of an Ambassador and the king\'s mate." Korr cursed under his breath. This could turn out to be something. 

"What now?" Tessa whispered and looked at Korr with haunted eyes. "The thing died in Adaline\'s room and the remains are still there." 

Korr kissed her head and robbed her back gently knowing that his touch would calm her nerves. "We would have a cleansing done in the evening only. For now, just don\'t go there." 

Other than that during this time he would have to find out the solution to the situation.
