Chapter 125 - Complaints

She was so happy that her happiness was infectious. When she saw him smile, her happiness spread throughout her body and she could feel her fingers and her toes tingle. The feeling was the same as the feeling she had when she was anxious about his being unconscious, but this time, instead of a worried feeling, it was a warm feeling. She could felt it passing through her like a warm ocean wave, washing away her anxiety that had acc.u.mulated over the last two days. She felt refreshed inside and invigorated outside. As her waves of happiness calmed down, she felt blissful with his presence around her. She loved being with him. As she hugged him gently once again, she closed her eyes and savored in the pleasure that was fizzling in her heart. 

"I love you," she blurted as soon as she hugged him again. "Without you, it was too cold and lonely." She had missed the way his muscular arms would wrap around her as much as she had missed his warmth. 

Dmitri smiled and said, "I don't think I can leave you ever Adrianna. I wouldn't be able to bear to see you with anyone other than me. Only for that reason do I have to be with you." He started laughing. 

"How are you feeling?" she asked lovingly.

"Very weak… You have to take care of your husband properly now. You have to see that all his demands are met with."

"And what are they?" 

"Right now, I want lots of food!" 

She chuckled. He couldn't stop teasing her even though he wasn't well. "I'll be right back," she said as she leapt out of bed to inform the healers, who were all sitting outside and discussing various medicines to bring the alpha back to consciousness, about his condition. When they heard about him, they rushed into his room. 

Meanwhile, Adrianna also informed Fleur, Nate, and Liam, about Dmitri's awakening. She also told Nate to inform Cora of the good news. Then, she left and ordered the servants to prepare a five-course meal. Afterwards, she went out to the garden, picked some flowers, and ordered some servants to adorn her room with all the flowers that she had just picked. By the time she returned to the room, the healers had already left the room after having given Dmitri a check-up. They were satisfied after knowing that the supreme alpha seemed to be doing well and decided to stay back for a day to observe him. 

When they left, the servants came into the room and filled all the vases with flowers. After finishing their duties, they left the room, leaving the couple alone. Filled with flowers, the room looked beautiful. The flowers were an enchanting array of teal, emerald, pink, red, yellow, and pearl colors, all depicting her inner emotions. She had missed him so much these past few days that her world had become grey. Now that he was back, she wanted to forget every single depressing memory. All those feelings that she had suffered through were replaced with love, passion, and l.u.s.t. She grinned whenever she looked at him as he watched her bounce around the room trying to put things in order. It was only a matter of a few minutes, but she couldn't hold herself back and ran towards him as he grinned and wrapped his arms around her. She let her head rest upon his chest as he stroked her cheeks. "Adri…" 

There was a knock on the door, breaking their trance, and they looked up. 

Cora entered with Keisha following behind her. When they saw them sitting so warmly together, they both fumed. Cora ignored Adrianna and looked at Dmitri. "Son, how are you feeling now?" Her voice was filled with concern. 

Adrianna moved away from Dmitri and sat at the edge of the bed, giving some space for Cora to sit near Dmitri. Keisha also moved closer and sat near him on the other side. 

"I am much better now Mother," he replied with pursed lips. His relations with his mother were becoming more and more strained with each and every day because of her stubborn reluctance to accept Adrianna. 

Cora took his hand and stroked his hair. "Dmitri, you haven't recovered fully, so I was hoping you could move into the room next to mine." Then, she looked around the room and, in an appalled manner, said, "Why do you have so many flowers in your room? The pollen will make you allergic. They also look absolutely ridiculous. Since when did you become such a sissy to even have flowers around you? Aren't you the ruthless supreme alpha?" she tried to provoke him. 

"I quite like these flowers." He knew that his mother would take every opportunity to insult Adrianna. 

"Cora, I think these flowers are lovely," said Keisha, trying to lessen Cora's anxiousness. Cora looked at her as though she was convinced and smiled. 

Then, Keisha stood up and went up to a flower vase. From there, she took the stem of a red rose and returned to her original spot. She held the rose next to his cheeks and lightly touched them. She handed the rose to him while saying, "My hope is that you soon become as glowy and healthy as this red rose." 

Adrianna flared up! She wanted to throw Keisha out of the room then and there. She started getting up when she saw that Cora was looking at her with animosity. Adrianna restrained herself and continued sitting at the edge of the bed. 

"Do you know what we had to endure while you were unconscious Dmitri?" complained Cora.
