Dmitri didn't even have the time to respond to Adrianna when he found himself stuck inside the cave and the entrance blocked by a boulder. "What have you done Adri!" He scolded her, but he didn't get any answer.
As soon as she went outside, she saw that Cy had run a few meters away and had teamed up with his men. She glared at them as her wolf growled. In the next minute, the entire landscape was converted into a mesh of various hued lights which were being thrown towards Adrianna, all of them potent enough to burn anything within seconds.
At first Adrianna tried to dodge them, but when she accidentally deflected a light with her hand in an attempt to find a path to go forward, she realized that she didn't have to dodge the light beams at all; she could simply deflect it with her hand. Confidently, she walked forward, deflecting all the rays of lights while looking closely at each one of her opponents one by one. Who were they?

Liam was becoming more and more irritated by the fact that his quest to find Adrianna and Dmitri was not bringing any results. All that he could do was rest and eat each day, all the while finding more and more gypsies in the jungle. He should have been able to sniff his alpha's scent by now, but he still hadn't been able to catch Dmitri's scent after so many days.
Fleur, on the other hand, was also getting impatient. She was being reprimanded by Isidorus every day and being told that she should hurry up and catch up to Adrianna. He had informed her that Cy was already on the move. She had been assured of the fact that since Cy had started his search later than her, she would be the first one to reach Adrianna.
But it was on the third day that Isidorus informed her of Cy's location. His location was strange because it was at a place which was much further ahead of their current location. She was surprised as to how Cy had reached that place faster than her.
She told Liam, "I think we should go to the center of the jungle. I have heard from others that it is really beautiful."
"We came here to find Dmitri and Adrianna, not to go around visiting beautiful places," snapped Liam.
"It is possible that they have gone there," she replied, getting equally as irritated. She held in her anger and said, "If you think about it, why would a newly married couple not go to a beautiful place?" She paused to check his reaction. When he didn't say a word, she continued, "There is no harm in checking out that location." There was no other way to convince Liam and also keep her secret at the same time.
Liam considered her request and set course for the center of the forest.

Cy and his men were finding it difficult to hold her back. She was just too strong for them. Cy had assured them that she would be an easy witch to catch as she wasn't even trained. He had promised all of them posts in the ministry once she was eliminated. When they were not able to hold her back, they started doubting Cy's words; all they saw in her eyes was fire and a determination to kill them.
She was casting so many spells as though they were a child's play that they were surprised. Although they had started by attacking her with various lethal spells, all they could do now was try to save themselves from her attacks.
In her rage, she struck one of the wizards so lethally that he burned to the ground. Seeing how easily she was taking them down, Cy sneaked away, taking advantage of her concentration in bringing them down, and went to the cave's entrance.
Adrianna had casted a spell around it to cage Dmitri. Cy removed that spell and entered the cave. When Dmitri saw Cy, he charged at Cy with so much rage that he shape shifted and jumped on him again, only to find that Cy had disappeared. In his frenzy, he came out of the cave to find Cy, but what he saw in front of him instead was absolutely shocking. His luna was alone and fighting so many of those wretched wizards. He ran to help her, but all of a sudden, he whelped in pain.
"Ponos," came the words out of Cy's mouth as he pointed his finger towards Dmitri. Dmitri stumbled and rolled on the ground as he cried in pain.
Adrianna's concentration wavered. She looked back at Dmitri and ran to him to block the spell, but by that time, all the wizards had thrown a combi threw "Nuyyn" spell on her, arresting her movements. She also tumbled and landed just a few meters away from Dmitri.
