After the king had walked out of the room everyone else stared at the door for a few seconds in silence before snapping back into reality. Now the queen mother held everyone's attention.
"You can go," Cassandra pointed to the beta wolf who immediately followed the Alpha out. "You too, I shall call upon you later." She told doctor who took the dismissal and excused himself.
Now in the room remained Cassandra and Patricia; the beta female.
"Tell me, Patricia," Cassandra moved around to the sitting area in the king's chamber and pointed to the in front of her for Patricia to take, "what exactly happened while both of you were talking. Do not leave any event untouched."
Patricia began without waiting for a moment longer. "You had asked me to bring the queen out of her room. When I did so she asked me why there were so many guards outside and I honestly told her that it was for Luna so there came the question about who Luna was and then I started explaining to her the hierarchy along with hot chocolate." She gulped, " I told her who Luna was and what she was to the alpha and who both of them were."
"Then?" Cassandra probed further when the girl did not continue talking.
She gulped. " That was the last thing I said to her. I said that she was the queen and that she was the queen to the kingdom and I think . .like. . right after that the anxiety attack happened." Her firm and strong voice had turned into a mumble by the end. Patricia was not fidgeting with her hands as the queen's stare got hard.
"Patricia as the beta female, do you think we were wrong to keep such information from Adaline when she had gone as far as suiciding?" She snapped. "I have known Adaline before, when she was in the human world, and the girl does not enjoy attention for a long period of time. Do you not think that I had that in mind before I chose not to tell if any of this? Having the attention of the entire Kingdom and different species on her would not make her feel overwhelmed?!"
Patricia looked down at the hands in her lap. Tears were brimming in her eyes and a change in her scent was immediately smelt by a Cassandra who closed her eyes at what she had done.
How could she has been such a fool? It was obvious that Patricia was trying to bond with the Luna and given the chance that she had jumped at it. She had completely ignored the fact that Adaline was not mentally in the right place at the moment and had told her everything she wanted to know which again Cassandra could not blame her for. Everyone in the kingdom was desperate to know adaline and to set a bond with her.
It was just something that her wolf and she wanted to do desperately and Cassandra could not hold it against her because she knew what it felt like. And just because her own wolf was satisfied with the small bond that she had with Adaline it did not mean that she was to punish others for trying to make one.
"Listen to me child," Cassandra said in a very gentle voice. Patricia immediately looked up but the tears in her eyes were not gone. "I understand that you want to make a bond with adaline that we have to focus on the fact that it is for the long-term not just a day or two. We want adeline to stay here forever and we have to make sure that she wants to stay here. Us that right or not?"
"Yes," Patty sniffed.
Cassandra gave her a smile, "then we have to make show to prioritise her and the relationship with the Alpha that she has. For that she has to give her time to heal and help her slowly."
"What about her aunt?" Patricia wondered.
"What about her?"
Patricia slightly shrugged her shoulders as she answered, "I mean if anything Mr Teresa is the one that can help Adeline the most. We belong to the supernatural community more than anything in the world and she is a human so doesn't she need other humans to surround herself with?"
Cassandra breathed a long breath thinking about it a Patty added.
"I think we should let Ms Teresa handle adaline for the time being. And we can let her go by having her agree to see a therapist on weekly or daily basis. Maybe it could be a give and take like deal?"
Cassandra did not answer her back for a few moments and captain thinking about the suggestion. It was not her that was able to decide about this because this was not concerning her directly. Someone else was supposed to take the decisions regarding this.
She sighed tiredly and stood up. "Patricia stay here for a minute or two or if you want you can leave. Whenever Adeline wakes up the nurse outside will tell us." She said before walking out of the door.
After the episode of Adeline''s suicide they all had decided to have a nurse within reach. She would follow Adeline around wherever she went and keep close ear to the room overhearing everything that Adeline was doing. Before that they had made sure that Xaviers room no longer had any kind of sharp material that could be used to make any kind of cut.
She stopped at the corridor of her son's office. There was someone inside and they were discussing something as her ears had picked up.
She looked up at the ceiling and wondered how was she supposed to talk about it. It reaches Idea was nice but it was her son's decision to go through with it. Her own heart rejected the idea already when she saw her son come out of the room with dark circles under his eyes and cheeks sunken in. He looked like he was being tortured from the inside.
