Dmitri was very angry with Adrianna. "Why did you kiss him?" he asked again when Adrianna looked blankly at him.
"That was just a friendly kiss Dmitri," she replied confused at his reaction.
"Oh! Do you go around kissing men when you feel friendly about them?" he asked.
"Have you gone insane?" shouted Adrianna as she removed his hands from her shoulders.
"I have gone insane, huh? And you were right in kissing him? Niiya is your past or is it that you still have feelings for him? After all you knew him before you knew me!" she was barking at her as though she wasn't listening.
"Stop shouting so loudly! I am standing right here!" she replied.
"Do you still want to keep contact with Niiya? Now that he is the representative of the human realm, do you feel that you have missed a chance being his wife?" Dmitri was burning with jealous feelings.
"Dmitri, this is incorrect! I don't have any feelings for Niiya. Missed being a chance to be his wife? How can you even say so?" she replied trying to drill sense into him.
"Then why did you kiss him on his forehead?" he said as he rubbed her lips roughly as if removing the cells that might have adhered to her lips when she kissed Niiya.
She removed his hand from her lips, "Stop it Dmitri!"
Dmitri pulled her to the bathroom and made her stand in front of the washbasin. He opened the tap and took some water in his hand while he held the back of her neck with his other hand. He pushed her forward and washed her face and her lips.
Adrianna was very angry. She struggled to get free from him and ran out of the bathroom. "This is ridiculous!" she lambasted. "It was absolutely nothing! You are making a mountain out of a molehill."
"I see no reason as to why would you even stand there and talk to him for so long, let alone kiss him. Adrianna, I am a very jealous person and you know that. If I see that you are even showing the slightest inclination towards Niiya, I will kill him and then I will kill the two of us because killing you wouldn't suffice the purpose!" threatened Dmitri.
"You are mad! You have marked me Dmitri. You feel my pain, I feel yours. You feel my love and I feel yours. When we were married, a blood bond was created between us, which sealed our relationship. We are soul mates. How can you even think that I have any feelings for Niiya?" she explained.
"Then why were you looking warmly at him?" he said. "Every time you meet him, he shows his feelings explicitly for you. Do you realize how much that irritates him? Can't you tell him once and for all that you are married to me for life? He doesn't have any right to love you now, Adri!"
"Dmitri, I had been his friend before I knew you. He loved me from then – that is what he told me. I have no control over the fact that he loves me," she replied.
"In that case why don't you do something which will make him hate you?"
"Does that even make sense? He has just become the representative of the human realm. That would be the last thing I would do!" she said with a surprise.
"Oh! So why don't you tell the truth Adrianna? You still have feelings for him!"
"I don't have any feelings for him! And for god's sake stop this stupid talk of yours. You are too irritating! I was just-" but before Adrianna could complete her sentence, Dmitri had disappeared from her sight. He had opened the door of the room and walked outside. She ran outside and saw that he was running towards the jungle. She communicated with him mentally, but he had shut her. "Dmitri, please come back," she shouted behind him.
As soon as their conflict had started, the floodgates opened. Adrianna and Dmitri had so much to say to each other and they were speaking with half their brains because the other half had maniacally plotted not to listen to the other person. Dmitri kept repeating while Adrianna kept refuting.
As soon as Dmitri had reached the edge of the pack's territory, he shape shifted and ran inside the jungle. His anger was too much to bear. Werewolves were known to be the most jealous creatures and especially if it involved their mates. They were known for attacking their mates in their anger. However, Dmitri had controlled that and instead in order to vent his anger, he ran inside the jungle, away from her. He didn't want to see her, feel her or talk to her. He started running towards the center of the jungle towards the lake.
In that chilly night, the moon's rays were falling over the jungle trying to light up the ground beneath but it failed. Dmitri kept running until he reached the lake. He sped towards the lake and shape shifted before diving into it. The water was too chilly but it felt good around his skin. His skin was burning and his temperature had shot up. The cold water that surrounded him numbed his skin and he felt better. He took a deep breath and swam deeper inside the water. As and as he went deeper, the water became darker because the soft rays of moonlight couldn't penetrate it more than a meter deep.
Regardless, he kept swimming deeper. He wanted to forget the world around him, he wanted to forget Adrianna's conversation with him, he wanted to forget that he wanted to murder Niiya. He would have definitely murdered him if he weren't the Supreme Alpha. He swam up to the bottom of the lake and stood on the bed. He closed his eyes to feel the water around him. It was very soothing, very quiet and very refreshing, when suddenly…
