The people who panicked the most were Fleur and Ed. Fleur didn't know what to do now. If the queen went missing, then she might be exposed to danger from all over. The leaf in her hand throbbed. "Ah!" she said and bent down as the pain was excruciating.
"Find her now," whispered Isidorus.
"Yes…" she whispered back.
Everyone looked at Fleur as she knelt down in pain holding her hand. It took some time before the pain left her. Liam rushed to her side and holding her shoulders, said, "Are you okay?"
She looked at him. He was looking so foolish with that expression on his face that she wanted to smack him. But she sweetly answered, "Yes, I am fine. You can leave my shoulders."
Liam removed his hand from her reluctantly. His expressions became sad when he left her. In order to calm down his anxiety, he kept standing right next to her despite her radiating hate for him.
Obviously, Nate noticed Liam and rolled his eyes. "Another one gone," he thought. Suddenly his thoughts ran to Ookashi, and he became anxious. He wanted to run to her now except that Cora was creating an issue.
Cora was upset because of the order that Dmitri had passed about Keisha. She was in house arrest and ever since the order was passed, she hadn't met him else she would have fought with him and his wife to take the order back.
"Go find him and get him and his nasty wife back within twenty-four hours," said Cora to Nate and Liam.
"But I can't go," replied Nate.
"What do you mean? Are you disobeying my orders?" yelled Cora.
"I am bound to obey the orders of my alpha and his queen," replied Nate. And he was right. Cora couldn't refute that.
She turned to Liam and said, "Liam, you go and find her and don't return unless he is back! I want the two of them over here by the next moon." Saying that she turned and went to Keisha's room who had regained her speech.
Fleur looked at Ed in panic. Slowly they took leave and went back to the guesthouse where Ed was staying.
"Uncle Ed, what do I do? Isidorus is very angry! I never expected that Adrianna would run away without telling anything to anyone!" she said in a nervous tone.
Ed sat down on the sofa. He understood that as a newly wedded couple, they must have gone to explore each other and it was an essential part of the werewolves bonding. Even though he wanted to find them for Isidorus, he didn't want to disturb them. But the danger was lurking as more and more wizards and the witches were coming to know about Adrianna.
Ed shook his head. He wasn't able to decide which path to choose. Finally he spoke, "Fleur, I think Adrianna is capable of taking care of herself and Dmitri. Maybe you should leave them for a few days on their own."
Fleur was surprised. "What? Never! Why do they want to be alone? I am sorry but the queen can never be left alone," she said as though it was an abomination to even think like that.
There was a knock on the door, as they were discussing. Ed opened the door and saw Liam. "What do want Liam," asked Ed narrowing his eyes even though he knew what Liam wanted.
"Hello, Ed!" said Liam, his eyes fleeting past Ed to search the inside.
"Hello," replied Ed.
"Can I come inside?" asked Liam.
"No, you can't," replied Ed.
"Thanks," said Liam with a huge smile, as he removed Ed's hand from the door that was blocking his way and stepped inside.
As soon as he reached inside, he beamed when he saw Fleur. "Fleur! I didn't expect to see you here! What a coincidence!" he exclaimed.
Fleur raised an eyebrow. She nodded and mocked, "Really?"
"Yes!" Liam was too excited. He had forgotten all about Ed. Fleur was the new center of attraction.
"I will be leaving tomorrow morning to search for Adrianna and Dmitri. So I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me?" he asked extremely eager to know her answer.
"No, thanks," she replied. "I am very busy and have to talk to Uncle Ed since I am also leaving tomorrow."
"Okay thanks Fleur! I will wait for you at my place," said Liam and stood from his place. He danced his way out with a face splitting grin.
Fleur shouted from behind with anger, "Did you even listen to me, moron?"
He shouted back, "I will wait for you, love!"
"Love? How dare you? I am not your love! Go jump in a well!" she shouted back. Then she looked at Ed, her face scrunched in disbelief.
"Are werewolves so stupid?" she asked Ed.
"Do you know how Dmitri or Adrianna look like?" asked Ed.
"No!" this would be my first time meeting them, she replied.
