Chapter 182 - The Change - III



As soon as he was done talking to his delta wolf Xavier turned around to where his mother was standing and beckoned her inside the office. 

"Why do you stand outside?" He said as he made sure that she was comfortable on the couch, "you can come anytime you want mother."

​​

She smiled, "I understand that you prioritise family above duties but I cannot activate that every time and this could have waited."

"What is it?"

She quickly thought of how she was to proceed. Giving him everything with why she was doing it was the best option because his mind worked like that as the king. 

"I was given the suggestion of letting Adeline be surrounded by humans. How about we send Adaline to her aunt for a few days to make sure that she is healthy and fine and in exchange for that we could have her promise that she would go to a therapist?" 

Xavier did not comment immediately on it and She watched as he turned to look at his desk. So it was confirmed that he was at least thinking about it. 

"I think Teresa can handle her better than we all can. After Patricia told her the truth we want someone that she knows to be with her and the only one she has now is her aunt. I think we could work out a few things in that and somehow this could work in both of our favors." She added further.

Xavier hummed loudly. "Okay."

On hearing that Cassandra\'s face snapped to her son and she opened her mouth slightly in shock thinking of what to say next. 

"What?" She mumbled. 

Now that she had heard him the underlying doubt that was buried very deep and she could not figure it out was out in the clear. Cassandra herself did not want to send Adil in a way to anyone even if it were a family. Her son sending her a way only made her feel worse. 

He was not just sending someone else away but his mate, someone that he had bonded with in the past year and now he was sending away. That was enough to crush more or whatever he had left inside him. 

"Yes," he nodded towards her and looked at his mother, "She suicided, mother. I think we both know what that means. We are just going to make her feel overwhelmed here and that is the least of what I want. I think she should go away for now." He stood and walked to his desk. " If there is anything more to be discussed, please do, otherwise I have a lot of pending work to catch up to." 

Cassandra, for a second, lowered her eyes to the floor before getting up nodding in respect to the king and then walked out of the door.

There was nothing left to talk about. 

*******

"Are you sure?" Tessa spat in passive aggressiveness, "after all you were the one who said that I was to focus on my own life and leave Adaline alone."

Cassandra was not apologetic, " I am sorry for how I behaved," yet she offered, "but my daughter in law; the queen of this Kingdom had sucided and my son had also suffered the consequences of it. For a moment, there was a chance that we were going to lose the ruling family and the Kingdom was going to be in Chaos. Forgive me, if I acted rashly." 

Tessa pursed her lips while thinking of whether to speak about what she had on her mind for the past few days or not. " Listen Cassandra, if Xavier is your son that Adaline is like a daughter to me. They both suffered the grave consequences of one\'s actions and I was scared too. So if you want to be with your child then I want to be with mine when . . She was on the verge of death." She choked as the emotions bubbled up. 

"I told you it is different for humans. Spending time with her mate or not does not matter until and unless she is in the best state of mind, which she is not!" 

"I know," Cassandra regretfully added. "I know." Sadly, she did. 

"So what now?" Tessa said and Cassandra answered. 

"You do know that you cannot go back to the world that you previously belonged to. At least not in the same place or meet the people that you once knew because they have been informed about your staged death." Tessa wanted to scoff because the woman did not seem to have even a slide twinge of regret over sadness while saying that. 

"And?"

"We were thinking of letting Adeline live with you for the time being. The only condition that we have placed is Friday night, once a week that is of course and Adeline would regularly visit a therapist. Your mate would have the guardianship passed from you onto him. As he is the one belonging to the supernatural community it will rest in his hands and he would make decisions for Adeline until unless she decided to leave and live with Xavier." 

Tessa blanced at that. " What! That\'s not fair!" 

"I know," Cassandra added dryly, " but there are a few things that your human cell will never be aware of and your mate will always be. Which is why the guardianship will rest in his hands when it concerns the decisions for Adeline\'s safety, rest you can take care of." 

" That\'s it?" Tessa shrieked, "You break the child, you do whatever you want with them and now that you think that she cannot be fixed by you, you throw her to me." She threw her hands up. "Do you really expect me to see this in another way Cassandra? You know who added in and how she is. I warned you, you know, about all of this yet you tried to take a chance and look where both of them are!" 

Cassandra opened her mouth as she was ready with the retort when her ears picked something. 

"Adeline\'s awake." She informed the aunt.
