"Of course, I want to go back to college! That was never a question," said Adrianna with determination. "However, there are some important things that I have to tell you first."
Dmitri tilted his head. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you planning to go back to the cottage with Ed just because you have to attend college? Because I won't allow you."
Adrianna chuckled. "No, but right now, I have to go somewhere else Dmitri."
"Where?" he was intrigued, but was ready to say no to anywhere she had to go. He was too selfish to let her go anywhere.
"Fleur has been asking me to visit the wizard kingdom…"
"What? Why? What am I missing? That is a very dangerous place Adrianna! I will not allow you!" Dmitri was furious, anxious, and nervous altogether.
Adrianna pursed her lips. How was she going to explain what had happened in the last few days?
"Dmitri, you have to relax right now. I have called Fleur, Ed and Howard for a meeting over here in our room. It is very vital that you hear everything out before you freak out, okay?" Adrianna tried to reassure him. She could sense his apprehensiveness.
"Who is Fleur?" he asked. Ever since he had woken up, no one had been straightforward with him. Adrianna had been waiting for the right time to tell him about Fleur and how Liam had come to save them.
Dmitri became impatient. When he saw that Adrianna still wasn't answering him, he growled and asked again. "Who is Fleur and what does she have to do with you going anywhere? Adrianna, answer my question."
Adrianna didn't know where to start. Everything had happened so fast that even her mind was boggled. She breathed in and then exhaled. She looked at him and said, "Dmitri, the wizard kingdom thinks that I am their long lost queen. I don't know why… I have to talk to Fleur about it…"
Dmitri's face was washed blank with confusion. His eyes widened and it looked as though his brain was unable to process the information. Every cell in his body froze before shock crept on his face. Words left him as he stared into her black eyes. He looked as if she had spoken a language he couldn't understand. The moment she stopped talking, he latched onto the chair that was right next to him and sat down, trying to comprehend everything.
His wife? The queen of the wizard kingdom?
If that was true, then they would be separated again. He wasn't ready to send her anywhere. That realization stabbed at his heart.
"Adri, are you joking with me?" Then his voice turned menacing. "I won't let you go anywhere!"
She said, "Ever since they found out, they have been watching me and protecting me at all hours in the day…"
Adrianna shook her head. "I don't want to go anywhere Dmitri. I don't think I can leave you anyways. So I have thought of a plan."
She was about to spill her plan when there was a knock on the door. Dmitri shouted, "Whoever is there, come back later." He sounded so angry that even Adrianna was frightened.
There was a slight coughing outside. Adrianna immediately knew who it was. She tried to pacify Dmitri by circling her arms around him. "That might be Fleur, Ed, and Howard… Please don't get agitated darling. Let's think through this together to find the best solution."
Adrianna stood up to open the door and Fleur came in, along with Ed and Howard. They all looked serious. When Dmitri saw the expressions on their faces, the first thing he did was to stand up in front of Adrianna as though warning them to stay away from her. His expression was that of a wounded alpha who would kill at the snap of a finger.
Howard and Ed knew that Dmitri had to be dealt with very carefully.
Adrianna peaked out from behind him and gave them a sheepish smile. "Please sit," she said as she pointed to the sofas near the glass windows. Then, she held Dmitri's hand and led him to sit comfortably on the bed. She sat right next to him so that he wouldn't get volatile. Even though she knew that Fleur and Howard could take on Dmitri if he turned violent, she wouldn't let anyone touch him. It was better for her to calm his nerves first. Wolves had the tendency to quickly turn violent out of anger and Dmitri even more so as the supreme alpha.
Fleur spoke first. "Isidorus has commanded me to take you to the wizard kingdom as soon as possible. You have declined it until now because Dmitri wasn't well. Now that he is well, you must accompany me back as soon as possible."
Dmitri glowered at Fleur. "You have the guts to talk to my luna like that? Stay within your lines!"
