Adrianna's eyes twinkled when she saw how ferocious her alpha was being about her safety. She wanted to curl into him like a damsel in distress and so she did. For the rest of the night, she acted like a delicate being who needed her alpha's attention all the time and not even once did her alpha deny her requests. As a matter of fact, his eyes flashed with joy every time she demanded things from her, even if it was as small as covering her with a blanket. It was not long before dawn came and Dmitri started preparing to leave.
He called his teammates to the royal palace where Fleur created a portal for them to leave and directly enter the blue moon pack territory.
"Adri, be careful. Don't think twice if you need to leave this place for your own safety, okay? When I am gone, keep sending news about yourself or else I will get worried," said Dmitri while caressing her hair.
"The only person you can always trust is Ed. So, if possible, keep him close by. Liam will be here with you as well." Dmitri stopped speaking and embraced her tightly.
"Dmitri, don't worry about me. Just take care of yourself," she said as she buried her face into his chest. His scent enveloped her and tears welled in her eyes as she tightly shut her eyes. "I love you."
"Me too…"
All the werewolves had already gone through the portal. Fleur was waiting for Dmitri to cross over before she could close the portal. Dmitri stepped in and took one last look at his beloved before the portal closed. A shiver immediately ran through Adrianna's body as though everything around her had become dark and cold. She crossed her arms tightly around herself and walked back to her bedroom which still smelled of him. She didn't allow the servants to clean the bed because it still held the wrinkles he had created. She wrapped herself up in the blanket filled with his scents and cried.
Two hours later, the servants reminded her that she still had to go to the wizards' academy. She got dressed in jeans and a green checkered shirt. With her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked like a next-door girl neighbor trope. The carriage had already come by to pick her up. As soon as the carriage was airborne, a battalion of wizards headed by Fleur appeared out of nowhere and flew with it. Adrianna was slowly beginning to get used to this routine.
The carriage stopped in front of the wizard academy after half an hour. When Adrianna saw the academy, she was amazed by its sheer aura. It looked like a castle with its huge walls that were covered with ivy all around. The academy's iron entrance was also huge. There were just two guards made of iron who were seated next to the gate entrance. As soon as Adrianna approached the entrance, they looked at her and stood up with their javelins pointing at her. As they stood up, they clanked a little. Fleur walked in front of Adrianna and took out a token from her pocket to hand it over to Adrianna. "This is your gate pass. You have to show it to them."
Adrianna took the gate pass from Fleur. It was a thin slate of gold with her picture etched onto it. She showed the gate pass to iron guards and one of them opened a slit next to his heart for Adrianna to put in her slate. As soon as Adrianna slid in her slate, the slit closed. Within seconds, the slit opened again and the slate came back out. Adrianna picked it up and the guards kneeled as they removed their javelins. Adrianna was astounded by the way the gates were to be opened.
"Now you will never have to show your gate pass. They know who you are. All other students have to show their gate pass to the guards everyday before entering the academy," said Fleur with a smile.
Adrianna nodded and entered the grounds of the academy. It was much larger than the college she was currently attending. As she walked through the grounds, all the wizards who had been flying with her started walking behind with her. Adrianna felt extremely awkward but didn't say a word, thinking that perhaps they would leave once she entered her classroom.
However, she was taken to the headmaster's room. To Adrianna's surprise, the headmaster was a woman. She sat at the end of a huge table which was empty. The room was adorned with a variety of plants that Adrianna had never seen in her life. The floor was made from red oak which was rare around this region.
As soon as she entered the headmaster's office with Fleur, Adrianna bowed to the headmaster and greeted her. "Good morning Madam."
Ilsa, the headmistress, was in her late fifties. Her forehead creased when she saw Adrianna. "I have been waiting for you. Isidorus has mentioned that you need to be in this academy to learn all about spells within a month's period."
