Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 101 - She Was Their Queen!

Kayla couldn't say what she had done, so she thought up a story that someone in the party had drugged her. She had found herself wandering through the jungle when Ein caught her and accused her of poisoning Dmitri and Adrianna. 

To her surprise, when she opened her mouth to tell her story, she found herself saying, "I mixed the poison pill in Adrianna's tea, but Dmitri also drank it." 

Kayla was shocked as to what she had just blurted even though she had thought of something else. No matter how hard she tried, her mind was forced to speak the truth. 

Adrianna was shocked by what she heard. 

"No, this is not correct. I mean- I mean- I mixed the poison in Adrianna's tea which Dmitri also drank," repeated Kayla. Her mind couldn't say what she wanted to say. She looked at the man who had brought her back. He was watching her without blinking his eyes. 

Ein was forcing Kayla to tell the truth by delving into her mind and not letting her tell her lies. The only limitation to the magic was that the person who was affected could only talk about himself or herself. They couldn't speak about anyone else, and so Kayla couldn't blurt out a word about Cora or Keisha. 

All of a sudden, Ein felt someone block his magic. He looked at Howard. Howard knew that Ein had been casting his magic on her and so he hadn't interfered. Ein asked Howard in their own language whether or not Howard was the one stopping the magic. Howard shook his head, so Ein asked him to join in on casting the truth spell on Kayla. However, both of them were again blocked. 

And only now could Kayla find herself saying what she had made up. "I don't know what happened to me Adrianna. I think someone drugged me." 

This was unacceptable. All of the wizards had joined Howard and Ein in casting their magic to force Kayla to speak the truth, but they were all blocked simultaneously. It was as if their magic couldn't reach Kayla. Who was so powerful that he or she could block the combined magic of six wizards? They all looked at Adrianna who was in a state of shock and staring at her sister. 

Adrianna had blocked all the magic when she had accidentally delved into the deepest corners of Kayla's mind to uncover the truth. Even though the wolves could listen to each other, they couldn't see each other's memories and it was these memories that only Adrianna could uncover. 

Adrianna felt weak in her knees when Kayla spoke her lies. 

"By the time I woke up, I was in the forest. This man here has wrongly accused me," said Kayla. 

"This is not the truth," roared Ein. "Kayla, you had a pill hidden in your dress when I accidently saw you in the hall. I had to make you unconscious to replace that pill with only a mild drug so that your devious plan could be exposed later on. Where did you get the pill from?" 

Howard, in the meanwhile, had realized that it was Adrianna who had blocked their magic. 

She was their queen! 

No one else had the power to do things like that in this world. 

His eyes were wide open as he watched her doing magic effortlessly. It was as if it was in her nature. The way she was able to pry open the lighting whip was also extraordinary. 

"Cora gave me those pills!" replied Kayla, breaking Howard's thoughts. 

Cora came forward and slapped Kayla across the cheek. "You moron! How dare you accuse me? Just because I do not approve of Adrianna doesn't mean I would do something so ghastly!" she spat. 

Kayla hid her face. She understood that she was alone in this matter and that she would never be able to prove herself. 

But Howard wondered as to why was Adrianna blocking them. Why was Adrianna letting Kayla tell such lies?

When Adrianna came to know the truth, she let out a soft laugh. She had allowed Kayla to tell her lies only because she didn't want to hear the truth. 

Even though Kayla had managed to tell her lie, Adrianna knew what had actually happened. She knew that Cora and Keisha were involved in this scheme. Her heart ached, and as that happened, Dmitri also felt a pang of pain. He came and hugged her from behind. 

"Don't torture yourself," he said softly into her ear.

Adrianna turned to bury her head in his chest and said, "Let's go…" 

Together they turned to leave. 

Ein shouted from behind, "Dmitri, can I take this girl as a prisoner?" 

"Yes…" Dmitri nodded and went away with his bride. He wanted to save his Adri from all the heartache. 

Cora left with Keisha, giving glares to Kuro and his sons, while Ed continued to stand there with Howard and the others. Kuro was ashamed of his daughter to the extent that he simply left her with the men out there and went away with his sons. He didn't wait for the morning and returned to their pack during the night. 

Ein held Kayla's hand and pulled her outside where she found herself being sucked into a vortex. 

Howard, on the other hand, asked all the wizards to stay on guard at all times as Adrianna was now very precious to them. Since Cy was lurking around Ed's house, Howard was all the more worried that news of Adrianna and Dmitri's wedding would soon reach him. He had to meet Isidoros to tell him about the recent developments. 

He was surprised that out of all the people, the demure, quiet Adrianna was their queen. He was very excited. He looked at Ed with gratitude for protecting their queen so loyally. He wanted to know everything about Adrianna and so he took Ed to their guesthouse. It was going to be a long night.

When Dmitri noticed tears flowing out of her eyes, he picked her up and held her close. The fact that Kayla had tried to poison them shook him. He wanted to kill her then and there, but that would have hurt Adrianna even more. That was the only reason why he had let Kayla go. He had to be with his wife. He took her to their bedroom and placed her on the bed's soft mattress. He sat down beside her and wiped her tears. "Don't cry Adri…" he said softly. 

"I thought she had genuinely accepted me…" 

"Mmm…" he stroked her cheeks. "Can you forget the incident? Please, Adri? We were just married." 

Adrianna laughed in between her tears and nodded. She said, "What must I do for them to accept me?" 

"I don't care whether they accept you or not, but if my luna cries because of them, I will kill them," replied Dmitri, making her laugh all the more. Although he had said that in a teasing manner, he was very serious about it. 

He wiped her tears away. He took her hands and opened her palms. Her palm had healed but there was a red colored mark right in the center of it which resembled a wolf. "That's our blood vow," he said, opening his hand and revealing his seal. 

He pulled her up gently to remove the beaded necklaces from her neck and kissed her bare skin. "Adri, I want to mark you and make you mine…" he whispered. "Can I do that today?"
