Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 197 - Speaking Like His Luna

Adrianna was shocked to hear Fleur speaking like that. "What do you mean I can't go? Just because of an incident, you expect me to stay confined inside the royal palace with some royal protection? Am I so weak that I can be threatened by just one attack?" Adrianna spoke harshly. 

"Adrianna, you misunderstand me. The academy is closed for all students. It is not safe and Professor Ziu has declared a day's holiday. We have been able to find the person who was behind the attack on royal carriage yesterday. He belongs to the third level of the wizard kingdom and was loyal to Cy. However, after Cy left the kingdom, he has been doing menial jobs since he was fired from his job because the ministry suspected that he might be a spy. We also know that he was working for Mihr. However, we have never been able to gather any solid evidence. 

"He was hiding in the third level when we found him. He disappeared after shooting the arrow. The problem is that as soon as we found him, he consumed poison and committed suicide, so our trail has gone cold. But the fact remains that he could have been associated with Mihr. 

"Yesterday, the student who shredded your book into pieces is Mihr's daughter…" Fleur stated all the facts. 

Adrianna was stunned to know that Nefasky was Mihr's daughter. No wonder Nefasky was constantly distasteful of her. Adrianna smiled inwards when she remembered how sweet revenge felt when she had shredded all of their notebooks. 

"The ministry has called Nefasky in for some questions. Obviously, we expect that Mihr will also be there. The ministry is trying to bait Mihr by calling in Nefasky. Perhaps they will be able to question him indirectly," informed Fleur. "I might also go there. I want to visit Ilsa and question her about a few things…" 

On an impulse, Adrianna said, "I would like to go and visit the prison with you. Is that possible?" 

That was the last thing Fleur wanted. Had Adrianna been crowned queen, Fleur couldn't have declined her request, but until she was crowned, Fleur could decline such ridiculous requests. "I am sorry Adrianna, but that isn't possible! I wouldn't even think of taking you over there."

"I will visit the prison with you since I have nothing to do during the day," said Adrianna before turning to go to the dining hall. 

Dmitri joined her ten minutes later. She looked at him eating in hurry and said, "What's the hurry Dmitri? We will not see each other for the next three days."

"Adri, I have a meeting with the chiefs scheduled at 11AM. I have to go now because I need to talk to Nate about it."

Adrianna had a thought and said, "Dmitri, I am afraid that Vikra and Cy might attack in the midst of the battle. I want to join you."

"No Adrianna, you are not going to join me at the moment. Even if Cy and Vikra were not originally going to attack me, they would immediately gain interest if you join me. Things can only go downhill with you beside me. Currently I am worried about the safety of the werewolves of the Lake Moon Pack. I don't know why your father is so keen on that territory. Why can't he just stay put with his pack?" said Dmitri in an agitated tone. 

Adrianna lowered her head. "I am sorry…"

"Sorry for what? For your father?" asked Dmitri looking surprised. 

"Yes…"

"I am sorry that you are thinking like that! I am glad that I pulled you out of that shithole. You are not worthy of being his daughter. He is a man of a selfish nature who doesn't know how to stay satisfied with what he has. I am going to suppress this rebellion once and for all!" spat Dmitri. He was so agitated that his eyes became red. 

Adrianna became afraid of him for a moment. She stared at him. "Will you kill him?" she asked.

"I will if I have to," came the reply. 

Adrianna didn't know what to say. She just kept quiet as her heart sank a little. She sighed. Dmitri looked at her and said, "That man never gave you any happiness. Why are you worried about him?"

Adrianna looked away because she really didn't have an answer to that question… 

Then after a moment of silence she said, "Be safe Dmitri. I won't accompany you because I understand that I might become a burden to you... And don't hesitate to take down the enemy if the need arises. However, always keep your eyes open because I am not too sure about Vikra. He is a master of con."

Dmitri got up from his chair and went to hug his wife. Now she was speaking like his luna!
