Chapter 82 - Dmitri, Get Up! Please...

Dmitri was easily pinned down by Adrianna onto the ground. She looked at him with bestial eyes. He realized that she was in a frenzy and wouldn't recognize him. He thought of calling out her name, but that wasn't possible since they were wolves right now. He stayed under her peacefully for some time as she continued to growl at him. However, suddenly she attacked him on his neck. With a lot of force, Dmitri disengaged himself from her jaw as he started bleeding profusely from the neck. But she was not an easy force to reckon with. 

She continued to maul him brutally. She pounded her front legs on him. At one point, she pounded on him so heavily while he was trying to stand up that he was thrown back a short distance. He yelped and was winded. He felt as though his head had become dizzy. He thought he would die. 

He had never seen a wolf as powerful as Adrianna. This was the hidden side of the girl he was in love with. He had to protect himself from her so that he could train her power and help her channelize it better. 

Adrianna came over to him and looked at him in a way that expressed her desire to kill him. Dmitri had been fighting with her, dodging her, and trying to maintain his own sanity for a long time now. He waited for the dawn to break so that her madness would get over. 

In the end, with whatever energy he was left with, he pushed her away from him, resulting in her being thrown into the air and onto a huge boulder. As soon as she hit the boulder, she became unconscious. 

Breathing heavily, Dmitri saw her lying near the boulder, unconscious, as he also passed out. 

Once dawn broke, both of them shape shifted back into humans, but both of them were lying unconscious in the deep forest with no one around them. 

It was not long before Adrianna woke up. Looking at herself, she was thankful that she had survived another full moon night, but she was worried as to what she might have killed in her frenzy. She saw that her body was wounded. There was blood on her hands and legs, and she was having trouble standing up. She was surprised at her condition as this had never happened before. So what had happened last night? She wanted to find Dmitri, whom she remembered clinging to just before she had shape shifted involuntarily. She looked around to find out where she was, but she found Dmitri lying unconscious in a pool of blood a few meters away.

Adrianna screamed, "Dmitri!" She garnered enough energy to stand up, and limped towards Dmitri. She saw that his neck was bleeding profusely. There were deep gashes on his limbs and his stomach. 

Adrianna started crying. Did she do this to him? "Dmitri, get up," She patted his face. She started sobbing loudly. How could she help her love? She took off the shirt she was wearing and wrapped it around his neck. 

Then she placed him on her back and slowly managed to carry him back in the direction of her cottage. But she knew that she would soon wear out. Dmitri needed immediate attention. As she was nearing the cottage, she tried to communicate with her grandfather mentally, but she couldn't. She went further. She was limping so badly that she wanted to sit and rest, but then she would feel the cold body of Dmitri and carry herself forward. Every step ahead was an endeavor. She kept communicating to her grandfather, but she couldn't get through to him. 

After about half an hour of traveling through the dense forest, she heard the rustle of leaves. She became alert and turned sideways to see who it was. A group of wolves from heard had heard her pleas of help and had located her. 

Her mind was currently weak and so she hadn't blocked it from anyone; that was why they could hear her. When Adrianna saw them, she sat down on the ground. They came and helped her with Dmitri. But before she could comprehend anything, she became unconscious again. 

A group of the red moon pack, consisting of five wolves, had gone hunting for the rogue wolf. Since the bounty was huge for catching it, almost all of the packs would send their hunters to catch it. The problem was that the rogue wolf had killed many animals and also some wolves in the past, so although they would set out to hunt for the rogue wolf, they would often spend the night in protecting themselves and hiding from the rogue wolf. 

This pack of five wolves from the red moon pack had hidden themselves in a cave. When the dawn broke and the daylight shone, they had come out of their hiding spot. They had been heading back to the pack when they heard Adrianna. They were surprised to see why Adrianna was looking for help.
