Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 149 - I Have A Concern

Fleur became uneasy as soon as Adrianna summoned the great wizard. She became apologetic and said, "I am very sorry for blurting out words without thinking, but I got riled when you mentioned my father's name. After all, he was responsible for your safe return. It was due to his quick thinking that all of us were able to come here safely."

Isidorus was angry with Fleur. He roared, "Quiet! You insolent girl! You dare talk back to the queen?" Having scolded her, he snapped his fingers and called Howard. As soon as Howard appeared, he also knelt in front of Adrianna. 

"Adrianna, my queen. I am sorry for Fleur's behavior. She is still young. Please forgive her." Howard spoke seriously. 

Adrianna scowled at him and said, "Tell me everything about Vikra." 

"Vikra is a very old wizard. His actual body died many years ago and he now relies on his energy to live. He feeds on the souls of people in the hopes of reviving his body. However, after so many years, he still hasn't been able to achieve this feat. When you were born, he had come to kidnap you, but the moon goddess and the wizards warded him off. He couldn't find you for a long time as your identity was well-hidden by Ed. However, he appears to have found out about you right before we were able to transport you to the wizard kingdom," said Howard, all in one breath. 

"Why does he want to capture me?" 

Howard sighed and replied, "We haven't come to fully understand the reason. But my guess is that since he feeds on souls, he would like to feed on the souls of the powerful people. That way, he would have access to an infinite amount of energy. Since you are very powerful, with all the inborn talent and energy you have, it is possible that after feeding on your soul, he would be revived - not only revived, but revived as the strongest wizard ever alive on the face of the earth."

When Adrianna heard Howard, she inwardly flinched. Although she didn't show it, Dmitri could feel it and came to her side immediately, comforting her by circling his arm around her shoulders. It was at that time when Isidorus realized that the two of them were soulmates. They were bonded to each other in a way that was inexplicable; it was beyond comprehension. 

Adrianna took a deep breath when she stabilized. Then, she looked at Howard and said angrily, "Why didn't you inform me of this situation earlier? So many things could have been prevented. What was all the secrecy about?" 

"We didn't know that Vikra would attack us out of nowhere. He hasn't shown his face ever since the wizards chased him out after your birth. We could have never imagined that this kind of a situation would occur. It's no secret Adrianna. We would have told you about it, given time, but even we were shocked when we saw that Vikra himself spearheaded the attack against you. It's very rare because usually just sends his neotides. It's rare to see Reese, his right-hand commander, let alone Vikra himself. The fact that both of them were there makes one thing very clear – he really wants to capture you. He will be continuously making an effort to keep an eye on your whereabouts from now o. You are safe in the wizard kingdom, but the moment you step out, he will attack you again," Said Howard gravely. 

Then, he turned to Fleur and scolded her. "Had it not been for the wind energy circle Adrianna had created, our chances of escaping would have been next to nil. Do you remember the number of neotides who were attacking us? It was through the combined effort of all of us that we are back safely." 

Fleur realized her mistake immediately and lowered her head. "I am sorry Father…"

"What do you mean I am safest here? I can take care of myself anywhere!" Adrianna became agitated. Once again, Dmitri squeezed her hand to calm her. 

Dmitri looked at Howard and said, "It is unfortunate that you left two of my men to be killed by Vikra. If you would have given it some thought, you could have helped them with magic instead of leaving them." 

"Sometimes, you don't have the time to think…" said Howard. 

Dmitri is only more annoyed. "I don't want to hear about it Howard. You may leave!" 

Howard got up from his kneeling position, stepped back a little, and disappeared. Fleur became upset by the way they were treating her father. 

Isidorus looked at her and forced her to rise. "Fleur, Howard did commit a mistake. If he would have thought a little, perhaps those two werewolves could have been saved." 

Fleur nodded and Isidorus released her from his magic. 

Adrianna turned to Isidorus and said, "I have a concern."
