Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 254 - Belle Of The Ball (4)

As Liam spoke, he had tightened his hold on Fleur as if Dmitri was planning to separate the two forever. He had wrapped his fur coat around her. Fleur was clinging to him. 

Dmitri was puzzled. How could he deal with this situation? Liam had just been attacked in the academy and he was also poisoned. He was vulnerable to so many attacks in the wizard kingdom. How would Fleur help him? It was different for Adrianna and him since the security was far tighter. 

"Don't worry Dmitri. It's going to be the same as it is with you. I had waited for my fated one for over a hundred years, and when I found her do you think I could have waited anymore. But still I tried my best. 

"Have you taken Howard's permission?" Asked Dmitri. 

"No…" 

Exasperated, Dmitri sat down with Adrianna. 

"Let us go from here, Liam," Fleur urged. She didn't want to talk about anything that would separate the two of them. Liam nodded. Before leaving she turned to Adrianna and said, "I will not slack in my duties for you but I can't live without Liam now."

"You should know that I need Liam in the wolf kingdom. What is he going to do over here along with you? Over the years he would get bored with the lack of work." Answered Dmitri being a little rough now. 

Liam knew that what Dmitri said was the truth, but now it was beyond his control. He was connected with Fleur in a way that it was beyond any explanation. "It can't be undone now," he said and stepped into the portal. 

Dmitri looked at Adrianna and sighed. Adrianna brought her hand to cheek and said, "You can't help that Dmitri. They are the destined ones…"

They retired to their bedroom after having dinner. None of them could speak much because they were just too occupied with Liam and Fleur's future. 

Things were fizzled out when the night ended. In the morning Adrianna got up early as she became nervous about getting into the dance competition. She didn't know the steps so well. She summoned Fleur who was sleepy as hell. Liam didn't even follow her, as he couldn't open his eyes after their late night sessions. 

"You should teach me how to dance, Fleur," said overly enthusiastic Adrianna. 

Dmitri came in the meanwhile. He looked at Fleur who looked like she could drop any moment out of sleepiness. "I will teach her Fleur. You can go back."

"No! In that case Fleur you must see how the two of us dance," cried Adrianna. 

Dmitri rolled his eyes. He pulled Adrianna in his embrace and started dancing as the music played in the background. Fleur went to sit on the sofa in the main hall. Fleur opened one eye to see how she was doing and found her to step on Dmitri's foot every other time. She shook her head and went back to sleep. Soon the couple was dancing even more vigorously as the music played louder. Fleur got up and went back to Liam. 

Two hours later Fleur came with her security team to take the couple to the carnival. 

They directly went to the place where the dresses were stitched. Adrianna clasped her hands in excitement when she saw that her dress was complete and it was looking beautiful. She took it out from there changed into it for the competition. Adrianna's dress was a low neckline white colored tulle fabric dress with silk beneath it. It had a large white rose made out of silk right in the center of the waist. The dress was only till her thighs and it flaunted her white legs. She looked lovely. 

While going to the hall for it, she said, "Fleur, I would like to know who the hell tried to sabotage my dress." 

"Yes, I will tell you that, but for now please focus on your dance. Dmitri is a wonderful dancer while you are very clumsy!" 

Adrianna walked behind her with her head low. 

All the couples took their places in the hall. Adrianna could see that Lile was there along with Shay. 

While most other people wore very exotic large gowns like the ones in fairy tales, Adrianna's was rather modern. The judges were all seated in the front of the hall and even if they didn't want it, their eyes were going to Adrianna. They couldn't help admiring her dress. 

The music started and the couples started dancing. Everyone danced well, but some of them gave up because their partners were too fat or because they stepped on their exotic gowns tearing them up in the process. Only a few remained until the last. Adrianna was being easily led by her partner, Dmitri. She thought that dancing was so easy. 

When the dance lasted, everyone clapped. The judges took around fifteen minutes to come up with their results. 

Just as they were about to announce the results, Fleur announced, "I have to ask about a leech that was fixed to Adrianna's mannequin."
