Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 160 - Finding Wand (5)

Adrianna was sure this would be the end of her. As the bright light blinded everyone, Adrianna saw her pet baby bear running towards them. She was wide eyed with wonder and the first thing she thought to do was to protect him. Dmitri leapt in the air as soon as he got close enough to her and she opened her arms. 

"Adrianna, use me!" said Dmitri. Instead of jumping into her arms, he converted into a wand that flipped through the air and landed into her hand. The moment she caught the wand, it emitted a large amount of energy equivalent against the amount Cy had thrown at them. The two energies clashed in the air. 

Adrianna was unable to process what had just happened; the wand was acting on its own. Through her tear-stained eyes, she could see that Cy was being pushed further and further away as his energy became enveloped by Adrianna's energy. His force was nothing against Adrianna's wand. 

A few moments later, Cy snapped his fingers and was sucked into a vortex. Adrianna turned to look back. The scene was absolutely gorey. There were pools of blood all around them. Dmitri was wounded and the werewolves who had accompanied the couple had been bitten by the neotides in various places. There were still more neotides coming towards them. This time, Adrianna was pissed off to such an extent that, without thinking, she pointed her wand towards the neotides and emitted a bright lethal light that immediately killed each and every neotide in sight. It was a mass murder. 

Adrianna was emotionally spent. She fell on her knees onto the ground. She lowered her head and started crying. Her cries soon converted into uncontrollable sobs. Dmitri moved closer to her. He picked her up into his arms and, along with the rest of the wolves, they followed the path that had been created for Adrianna to find her wand to return to the palace. 

They had only walked for a little while when they found that a portal had been opened for them by Fleur who had come to find them once she noticed that they were taking longer than usual to return. The werewolf group entered the portal to find themselves teleported to their pack healer's hut. The healer, along with his group of assistants, attended to their wounds. 

The portal then took Adrianna and Dmitri to their bedroom where Dmitri placed Adrianna on the bed and went to take a shower. Apart from a gash on his biceps, he was fine. He knew that the wound would be healed within an hour's time. 

Adrianna had tightly clasped the wand in her hand. She had held it close to her heart as she cried. So this is what they meant when they said the wand has an emotional attachment to you. The baby bear who had been her pet for so long had become her wand. The cuddly, cute, and warm bundle of love was now lying in her hand as a piece of wood. 

The wand was light brown in color, exactly the color of her pet bear's fur. It looked like a piece of roughly chiseled wood but it was smooth. Adrianna would look at it and constantly remember her pet bear Dmitri. Her mind went to the time when she had first met him and how she ran after him when Dmitri had come to propose. 

Remembering the way her pet bear would jump into her arms whenever he saw her made her feel even gloomier. Then, she remembered what he had conveyed to her just before she had left to find her wand. "I will follow you to the jungle…" Did he already know about it? Had he foreseen what would happen? He had been found by Ed, all alone and trapped in a deserted cabin in the forest. Was this destiny? Had he been abandoned by his mother for Adrianna? 

What was the price of being crowned the queen of the wizard kingdom? How many more lives would be taken in order for her to succeed the throne? All those questions were making her restless. In the end, when she had cried enough and only dry sobs were left, she found herself wrapped up within Dmitri's warm embrace. He had cradled her, encompassing her entire body within his embrace. "Shh... Don't cry." Adrianna didn't know when she fell asleep. Dmitri didn't move her, afraid that she would wake up. Later, when he laid down, Adrianna curled up on top of him. 

Dawn broke in a few hours and the soft morning light fell into their bedroom. Dmitri woke up to see Adrianna's delicate face which was sheathed in the morning's soft light. Tenderly, he started stroking her hair and noticed that she was still holding the wand close to her chest. 

Gently, he removed it and carefully placed it nearby. The ways of the wizard world confounded him. Things were already so complicated in his world, but they were even more complex in the wizard kingdom. 

He smiled as he looked at Adrianna. What would the future hold for them?
