Chapter 271 - The Shenanigans

Keisha knew that Dmitri was just too powerful for Niiya. If Niiya decided to take his revenge, he would in no way be able to defeat Dmitri. However, what she wanted was to buy time until she found a place to hide safely. 

"You still haven't answered my first question," asked Niiya."Why didn't you tell this to me when I was about to get abducted?" 

"That was because by the time I realized his sinister plans, he had already kidnapped you and took you somewhere I didn't know," she replied. "Trust me, I tried to find you in so many places, but no one knew where you were…"

Niiya felt another pang of bile coming up to his mouth. He retched and ran to the bathroom again. Once inside, he closed the door and vomited. His knees went wobbly as he rested his back on the wall inside the bathroom and then slowly sat down. Tears started flowing out again. This time he shuddered as he cried. He held his head in his hands and kept crying at the disgusting, messy situation he had gotten into. The only girl he loved crazily slipped from his hand because of an evil plan. 

He went back to the sink and washed his face. He would free Adrianna from the clutches of that man. 

He went out, once again facing Keisha with as much attention as possible even in his disturbed state. "What is it that you want from me? And why are you telling this to me now?"

"I hate the fact that Dmitri is two timing both me and Adrianna. We both deserve better than falling in love with a man who is so brutal and selfish," said Keisha sounding like a victim. "I had gone to Adrianna to tell that Dmitri had forced himself upon me, but somehow Dmitri came to know about it and he had been after my life. He wants to kill me for speaking it to Adrianna, because then, Adrianna would leave him and come to you. He will not accept such an insult." Keisha paused, and then continued with a sigh, "Please Niiya, can you help me? I want to stay safe for a few days and as soon as I find another place, I will leave you and go."

Niiya stared at Keisha, who looked very nervous. "Okay… you can stay here until you find a safe haven." 

Keisha thanked the wolf spirits and looked at him with gratitude. She knew that because of the treaty, Dmitri wouldn't be able to harm her as long as she was inside their house. Niiya got up from there and took her to the basement room. It was already 6AM in the morning.  

Meanwhile Dmitri, Liam and Nate were hunting for Keisha throughout the town but they couldn't pick her scent. They had come out in the morning when the streets were empty. That was the best time to pick her scent because no humans were usually out and the scent never got mixed up. The sun was now coming up and they had to retreat. It was 7AM now and Dmitri was aware that Adrianna would leave for the academy by 8AM. He wanted to see her before she went but finding Keisha was becoming annoying for him. 

They had scrounged through most of the town and only a few elite places were left. They headed over there and were beginning to give up when Liam picked a familiar scent. He diverged from the group and started walking fast towards a beautiful big bungalow. Dmitri followed him and was shocked. He mentally communicated, "Keisha is in Niiya's place."

"What do we do?" asked Nate. 

Dmitri stopped Liam, "Liam, don't think of entering that house. That is where Niiya lives."

Liam immediately stopped. "Shit! What do we do now?"

"She would never come out of that house," said Nate. 

"Can we keep a watch on her?" asked Liam.

"We have to get someone who wouldn't break the treaty and stay calm in all situations because I am sure that as soon as Keisha would know about the presence of werewolves of her pack, she would raise an alarm and Niiya would chase him away," replied Nate. 

"I want someone from Fleur's team to keep a watch on her. Also I want that wizard to not break the treaty at any cost," suggested Dmitri. 

Liam nodded and then ran away. He had to reach Fleur as soon as possible because they knew that they had very little time at hand.  

Meanwhile, Nate suggested that they go to meet Niiya, but Dmitri stopped him. he said, "Let's go back Nate. If she is here, there is no way Niiya would divulge her details. We know that she is here but Niiya doesn't know that we know she is here. He is giving her protection for the time. I have no idea how did she manage to convince him to protect her…"
