Chapter 83 - The Greediness

In order to find out why she had been desperately calling for help, they had turned to look in her direction. When they found that she was carrying the supreme alpha on her back, their surprise knew no boundaries. They ran to her and helped her place him on the ground. Although they had numerous questions, they knew that she wouldn't be able to answer anything. They both needed the immediate attention of a healer. 

One of them shape shifted into a wolf and carried Dmitri on his back while another one took Adrianna on his back. They sped through the jungle to reach the pack healer. The healer cleared his place and made them lie on two beds next to each other. The first thing he did was to get lotion to apply onto their gashes. For Dmitri, he had to clot the wound on his neck with another cloth. Thankfully, the wound was on the back side and not very deep, otherwise he could have been killed. 

Kuro was informed. He rushed to the healer's house. When Kuro arrived at the healer's house, he looked at the two of them and wondered what could have happened. Then he looked at the men who had carried them in. 

"Where did you find them?" he asked. 

"We found them in this condition a few miles away from the wizards' habitat," said one of them. 

"But we don't know how they become so seriously injured?" said another one. "We are speculating that the rogue wolf must have attacked both of them. If that is the case, there is a chance that they know about the rogue wolf," he continued. 

"If they know about it, then we can use this information to catch it during the next full moon night," said the one who had carried in Adrianna. 

They sounded very excited. 

Kuro listened to them carefully. "There is definitely a chance that the two of them had met the rogue wolf. Otherwise, how could they have gotten injured so much. The rumor is true that the rogue wolf is deadly. He has so much power that he can take down two strong people like Adrianna and Dmitri. That is why the bounty on it is so high," said Kuro while appearing deep in thought. 

"What is the bounty chief?" asked the healer. 

"The lake moon pack's territory," replied Kuro with a smile. He couldn't believe the fact that the rogue wolf had attacked Dmitri, the supreme alpha. But it was good because according to Kuro, Adrianna was a witness to its savagery. Now he could easily send his team of wolves and Adrianna to hunt and catch the rogue. It would be Dmitri's choice if he wanted to go or not. Kuro smiled further and looked at the healer. "Do your best to heal them as fast as possible." 

The healer nodded.

He addressed the rest of them and ordered them, "Do not tell anyone about this incident. If it is leaked, you are all dead.

Kuro was only thinking of one thing when he left the infirmary - the Lake Moon Pack's territory. He was sure that he could get his hands on it. He had asked Dmitri for it when he had come for Adrianna, but he had refused. Now, Kuro wouldn't let this chance go. 

The five wolves who had rescued them were asked to stay there until they healed. 

When Ed noticed their absence the next day, he went to search for them. His search eventually led him to the healer's place. He was aghast to see both of them. Although he understood as to how they might have ended up like that, he stayed quiet and waited for them to heal properly. He hated Kuro for not informing him about their situation. 

Adrianna was the first one to recover completely. Although she looked a little pale, she was moving about easily. Dmitri hadn't recovered completely. Adrianna had become conscious within twenty-four hours, but Dmitri was still coming in and out of consciousness. Adrianna would often go and sleep next to him. She would curl her arms around him and cry quietly, often wetting his shirt. She wanted him to talk to him and apologize, but he wasn't giving her a chance. Her worries increased as he still didn't wake the next day. 

She saw that Ed had arrived. She went to him and said, "Grandfather, I think Dmitri might have come after me when I turned rogue and I must have mauled him." 

Ed patted her head and said, "Adri, I think so too. I hope he recovers fast. Also, don't speak about it to anyone. Don't even think of this thing. Otherwise, someone may read your mind, okay?" 

"Yes Grandfather…" she replied gloomily.

Then she went back and laid next to him. She was waiting for him to talk to her. He had put his life at risk for her. But why? She had so many questions to ask. She realized how crazily she wanted him back. There was no denial of the fact now. Her heart ached as the realization dawned upon her. She had almost killed the man she loved so much. Once again, she started crying. "Dmitri, come back soon. I miss you so much…" she whispered in his ears. 

Dmitri stirred a little…
