Chapter 65 - A Moment To Behold

Dmitri was feeling much better as all his anxieties calmed down. "Hi Adrianna," he said, looking fondly at her.

Adrianna was still dazed. She moved her lips., "Hi…" Sshe found herself speaking in a whisper. She had been resisting her emotions for Dmitri this entire time, but here he was, sitting right in front of her. She had run away from the house just because she didn't want to marry the supreme alpha, and here he was as the supreme alpha. She was so happy all of a sudden that she wanted to get up and dance. A smile broke on her face as she lowered her head so that he wouldn't notice. The person whom she crazily wanted to be with was right in front of her asking for her hand in marriage. All her nervousness about her uncertain future melted in seconds.​​

Unbeknownst to her, she started shining. Her inner aura became brighter as she shined. To Dmitri, she appeared angelic. He was mesmerized by her even more. Why was she radiating so much energy? She appeared like an angel who had just descended onto the earth. Immediately, he was washed with an urge to cover his precious gem. How could the world see a person like her? They would destroy her.

Kuro knew of her inner ; he knew that she shined when she was happy. He had to put in some terms before giving Adrianna away.

Everyone else present in the room was looking at Adrianna. It was a moment to behold.

All of a sudden, Adrianna's aura stopped. Her mood sulked and the smile that was on her face disappeared.

Feeling dejected, Dmitri wanted to run to her and sit next to her to comfort her

Adrianna remembered Keisha. Everything that had happened between them played over and over like a movie scene in front of her eyes. What an irony it was. Keisha had asked Adrianna to stop thinking about Dmitri. They had just had a huge fight over him, in which she had been injured. And yet, Dmitri was here. Was this her destiny? To be a third wheel for her entire life? To look at the person she was enchanted with, from near, and never truly become his? Her mood dipped and her soul cried. She looked up at him and said, "Can I talk to you in private?"

Dmitri nodded. Adrianna got up from her chair and walked out of the living room. She walked out of the house and went towards the forest in the backyard. Dmitri followed her. The baby bear followed them too. He would snarl at every squirrel that came in his owner's way, and kept running around wildly like a baby, climbing trees, and killing small rodents for fun.

Dmitri was walking behind Adrianna. He was itching to touch her. It had been so many days since he had last slept in her bed since he had last held her close.

When they had walked far enough to be out of the vision of all the guards her father had put in place for her, Adrianna suddenly turned around to look at Dmitri. She asked, "How is Keisha?"

Dmitri was expecting that question. He said, "She is fine. She has partial amnesia. She doesn't remember what happened to her."

Adrianna bit her lower lip. She didn't want to reveal what had happened in the forest. How could she say that they had fought over him?

"Okay…" she nodded. "I don't want to marry you Dmitri…" she added.

Dmitri was taken aback. He didn't want to hear her say "No". He clenched his fists as he became furious. His voice became cold as he asked, "Why?"

"Because Keisha loves you…" she replied, lowering her head and biting her lips again.

Dmitri couldn't hold himself back any longer. He brought his hands to her chin and said, "Stop biting."

Adrianna loved the feeling of his hand on her. She couldn't deny that her attraction towards him was for real, and if he continued to touch her even once more, she would easily give in.

She removed her face from his hand, and turned around sharply. But the gods weren't with her. Her dress tore from a seam on the right side, right from the sleeve to the middle of the waist. She was aghast! How did that happen? It was a fairly new dress. Did Kayla do something?

Dmitri watched her dress tear and saw the white skin beneath it that was now exposed. In a split second, impulsively, he held her back and wrapped her in his arms, sliding his hands through the torn dress. He lifted her chin with his hands again. Brushing his hands along her bare back, he inched closer to her.
