Tessa based around the room anxiously. Korr was getting ready and as every second passed she could not help but feel anxiety buildup inside her. The palace had called for them and not only that but they had called for them immediately. They had to leave just as they got the message. 

It only scared Teresa even more that they had received such an instant message. 

"Stop pacing around my love," Korr said lonely from the bathroom, "I can hear you all the way in the bath." 

She tsked and stopped only to sit down on the bed with the huff. What was she supposed to do? After what happened days ago in Adeline\'s room, it was only her worst nightmare to be called by Xavier\'s family. They must have called them for something. That something was her worst nightmare. 

Korr walked out the bathroom fully dressed and within moments they were out of the house and in the car driving to the palace. 

Her hands were shaking and she tried to grip her knees to stabilize it. Korr was watching in keeping an eye on it before reaching over and holding one of her hands in his trying to calm her down with the bond and with the slight growl from his beast. 

"It does not help when I am so anxious," she said looking over to him, "I don\'t know what\'s going on and. . ."

He picked her up and placed her on his lap growling and letting his beast dominate her anxiety and calm it down. 

Teresa closed her eyes and snuggled into him more. 

"Are you better now, love?" He whispered in her ear and she nodded. She had no idea how the growling helped in calming her but since that day she had no problem with it. 

The palace gates opened for them even before the car could stop for identification. Teresa\'s hands tied into fists. This could not be good. Everyone was waiting for them which meant that something was going on. 

Korr got out of the car first and held his hand out to his mate. Once Teresa stepped out of the car they both walked inside and were led to a small courtroom. 

The moment the door to the court room opened they could see everyone there. Teresa recognised Javier and Cassandra along with Igao and Miyo. There was one man with a billion tattoos on his body that she did not recognise at all. 

"I am a warlock," he answered as if understanding her unsaid questions, "my name is Alexsandeir." 

"Unique name." Tessa commented and the man smiled in gratitude. 

"Please have a seat," Javier pointed to the two empty seats at the end of the table. 

Korr pulled out the chair for his mate to sit first and then to the one beside her. 

"Now," Alexandier stood up from his chair and started walking around as his spoke, "I would love to hear if you have heard or seen anything out of the ordinary in your house and especially in the young queen\'s room." 

Tessa\'s eyebrows furrowed and it was immediately noticed by everyone in the room and the tensions got heavier than before. 

Tessa\'s eyes moved to Cassandra, "did it happen with you too? Did you see it? What was it?" 

Cassandra shook her head. "Fortunately or unfortunately, I do not know, but I did not see it. It is just when I returned to the room after I heard something scream inside I saw a pile of. . . Waste in there." 

Tessa\'s lip dangerously trembled at the thought. Then what had she seen? 

"Tell us what you have seen." Alexandier said. 

Tessa gulped slightly but found Korr\'s hand in hers. That was more than enough for her to calm her nerves down. 

So, she began to talk. 

"I honestly don\'t know what happened. Adaline does not like flowers in her room because they wilt, they die in the end and she hates that which is why when I removed the flowers in her room, I took them away only to find that discussing smell in them. Korr actually found a foetus inside the vase," she grimaced, "I found like someone was walking around me and when I followed it to Adeline\'s room I actually found someone like her sitting there." 

"Someone like her, you say," Alexandeir repeated not into himself slowly before just telling her to continue. 

Tessa gave him a weary glance before continuing, "it\'s just by the time I reached up and I don\'t know what happened downstairs the thing in front of me started to scream and melted down and its smell so bad like. . . rot and it melted and it was literally a pile of soil in front of me." Tessa stumbled in using the correct words because she had the image in her mind stapled yet she could not reley it out. 

It just got too scary for her to think and say it out loud. Somehow she thought that she would experience it again and not saying it would only make her feel better. 

"What happened downstairs?" Javier asked Korr. He was listening to the explanation Teresa gave them and by the looks of it something that happened downstairs had to be a part of it. 

Korr scoffed. "The vase smelled so my butler went ahead to empty it only to find out that there was a little baby inside and not only that, just as the baby was buried far away from the property we had screaming inside the house and the rest is what Teresa told you." 

Javier leane back. "Then I think you know why you have been called here." 

Korr nodded, "the same happened with you, did it not?" 

Javier nodded his face turning sullen as he answered, "what else was that you found there apart from the foetus?" 

"Apart from the foetus?" Korr repeated in disbelief. "Why were—what were we supposed to find?" 

Cassandra sighed loudly. "Something that connects a foetus to its mother.. You were supposed to find an umbilical cord."
