"This is ridiculous!" Cassandra snarled at her as she watched the guards step towards adaline. She protectively stepped forward, "Stop it. Do not touch her!" Xavier's eyes flashed and he glared at his mother. She felt it but did not turned to look at him. Her priority was the human that was unable to defend herself.
"Stop it mother." He growled, "she has made her bed and now she must lion it. She must know better than to just throw things are people especially family mbers."
He turned to the Gaurds, "Go ahead."
"No—" A growl revelated in the infirmary and imdiately had everyone put their heads down. Adeline watched as her only saviour, the one who stood for her about her head and made no more movents.
Cassandra said everything happen because she could not look up. The gods successfully had managed to drag adylin out of the room. Only then it was that they will let go of his power and she could feel the burden lifting of a shoulders. It felt like there was nothing that was going her down any more forcefully.
"Xavier," she began tiredly, "you must not do this to her. She is only human and she is not well enough to deal with any of this—"
"She was well enough to through a Jagat you mother. I think she's fine ntally and physically fit to do that. If she thinks that I'm just going to keep her in jail for the night she is mistaken. Until unless I see a change in her behaviour I'm not going to let go of this easily. It is ti that humans self recognises the world she is and what it entails."
" You are wrong here!" His mother scread, " how is it that you expect everything to happen in your favour when all you doing is troubling her more and more? She thinks that you get her father save your you need to explain to her otherwise. It is only going to act as sothing that is going to pull up or even further than you already are at!" She stressed on her words.
These two were not even trying to understand where was he trying to put the other person at. Adeline ti and again accused Xavier of being a mother and I did not help that day we had admitted that she had also been forced to kill their daughter. She only took it harder than anyone else.
She gulped when she was t with silence from her son. He did not react to anything that she had said and she knew better than to just assu that he had understood or at least was thinking about it.
"What you are doing is not supposed to be done. At least in not the way that you are doing it in." She began carefully and in a very calm and gentle manner. " You have to understand that it has been seven months for her to carry for her father and adding the loss of a child when she only got to know about it the night of the ritual does not help."
She continued, " you must—"
" Why ?" He muttered as now he had changed his position and was over looking the capital. "Why are you ti and again pointing at to do sothing for her? Can she not do anything for ? What makes you think that I have not suffer any less of loss that she has?"
He turned to his mother who was watching her with apprehensive eyes. " It has been water a few weeks for to lose my brother. A few weeks for to lose my daughter. I can conveniently bla this on her. I can easily point out the facts that make her the criminal more than . But I am not doing any of that does not matter to you or can you not see that all together?"
" It does Matter to ." His mother answered almost imdiately. "But you have to understand that your beast, or at least with his help you can recover quickly. He will take a part of you to heal but Adeline has not been blessed with a similar luxury."
" Luxury." He scoffed. " Love is a luxury mother."
" Love is necessity, my love." Cassandra corrected him with a small sad smile on her face. "Love is what mother nature shows to everyone, including us the abominations of her. The only thing about love people tend to forget is that it does not happen imdiately. It takes ti."
She watched Xavier as she finished her words. He had turned back around and overlooked the capital. As his mother she could feel the wheels in his head turning as he thought about her words.
"So—"
"I am not going to compromise." He said instead and took her completely by surprise. "If I have to say it out loud to you who has been in this world and in this royal family for ages then so be it, adelen has to accept her duties or they would be abdication and there is no one that can take to the throne except for . So the only other option that I am left with is to have a baby with Adeline because only she can have my child unless until you find another mate destined for ."
She shook her head and stepped closer to her. " Why are you being so selfless? Do not think as the king of the country here. You must think as a mate."
"I am both." He sighed and by the expression on his face which was tired and mildly annoying Cassandra knew that the conversation was over. " I am both the king of the country and her mate. You cannot separate both of us because now this is what I am at my core."
"You arrested her." She argued.
"And I will do much more if she continues to act out like that." He vowed and his words held a promise.
