Chapter 134 - Vikra's Attack (1)

The neotides had been extremely vigilant lately. As soon as they came to know that Adrianna was the queen the wizard kingdom had been looking for, they informed Vikra. Vikra had been feeding on the souls of the humans which had been gathered for him to feed upon when this news was given to him. He started laughing and, soon, his laughter became more like that of a madman. Reese had been standing in the same chambers as Vikra and when she heard the news, she also smiled.

"Find out where they are headed," he ordered Reese as he continued to feed on a soul as it shouted in agony and misery. 

All the men whose souls Vikra fed upon would become lifeless. And if their bodies were able to sustain the pain, they would become zombies who had no direction in life. His army included those zombies and over the past few years, they had been growing in numbers. 

Two very highly trained neotides were dispatched to find out the information. Having been trained, they could control their innate desires to relentlessly attack humans and werewolves. When they reached the blue moon pack territory, they sneaked into the palace gates with several others when the wizards and witches made a large commotion to bring Adrianna back to their kingdom. 

They reported back to Vikra with the information.

When Adrianna suggested that Dmitri was to also go with her, Dmitri was shocked. "I can't go Adrianna. I have been away from the werewolves' territory for a long time now. There are way too many important matters out here that have to be dealt with."

Nate intervened, "Sorry Adrianna, but he needs to be here. There are five chiefs who have already gathered forces to attack us according to our reports." 

"Why?" asked Adrianna, shocked.

"It seems that two that were insulted by Dmitri have joined forces with three dissidents and now they are planning an attack."

She looked sadly at Dmitri and said, "Then let us wait until you fight with them. I will join your side in the battle…" 

"We don't have that kind of time Adrianna," said Howard, feeling very irritated by her stubbornness. Why was she clinging to Dmitri so much? He could never understand the ways of the werewolf world. Why were mates so crazy about each other? Why were they so in love with each other? Was it the soul bond or the marking? 

"You have to come now! And if you want, we can leave some of our people behind to help Dmitri," said Howard, offering a solution. 

As soon as he said that, Dmitri felt as though Adrianna was leaving him forever. At that point in time, his guard was down and Nate could easily hear his thoughts. Although Dmitri didn't say a word, Adrianna caught his hand and squeezed it hard. 

Nate shook his head and smiled at the two of them. "Let's go and talk inside," he said to Adrianna and Dmitri. 

They walked inside. When they were alone, Nate suggested, "Dmitri, in my opinion, you should go with Adrianna and I will look after this rebellion." 

"I can't leave you all alone Nate," replied Dmitri. 

"Howard has offered us an excellent solution. If we get the help of the wizards and witches, the dissidents will be scared for a long time and, who knows, maybe they'll just quickly surrender," replied Nate.

Dmitri shook his head. Nate continued, "If you stay here, then Howard won't leave any of his people here. Currently, with the situation we are in, it seems that Howard is not going to take a negative answer. I think the situation with them is very urgent. Otherwise. why would they send such a huge army to protect Adrianna? 

"Let us not brood over this anymore. You should go with Adrianna. However, you must ensure that Howard leaves at least five of his people behind." 

Then, Nate looked at Adrianna and said with a smile, "It would have been fun to fight the battle with you on our side Adrianna." 

Adrianna smiled and lowered her head. She looked at Dmitri.

It was thus decided that Dmitri would accompany Adrianna to the wizard kingdom. and that five of Howard's wizards were supposed to stay back until the war with the dissidents concluded. 

As soon as it was decided, without wasting any time, Dmitri to his mother who was still recuperating from the magic spell cast on her by Adrianna. He stroked her head with affection and said, "Don't meddle with Adrianna. She is too powerful to be stopped by our kind…" But Cora was not in a state to understand anything. He turned to look at Keisha and glared at her. She flinched under his glance. Without speaking to her, he left. 

Even though it was not required, Nate forms a group of ten werewolves who would accompany Dmitri and Adrianna. He knew that Dmitri often blocked him out and so with ten of them around him, he would be able to get some information about his alpha and luna. 

An hour later, all of the departed from the blue moon pack's territory.
