Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 259 - The Sea Horse (2)

"Then let us go!" answered Liam. 

As soon as Fleur heard that Adrianna was also leaving, the entire team went on high alert . Fleur opened the portal and all of them stepped through it. Everyone walked right into the gardens of Dmitri's mansion. Ookashi was standing with Dmitri and was crying hysterically. He pursed his lips and found it extremely difficult to say words to soothe her. 

When Ookashi saw Adrianna, she ran to her and hugged her, "Adri- Adri, Nate has been missing for a day now. First, I thought he must have come to Dmitri for some work. When he didn't return even after five hours in the market, I came to meet him at Dmitri's but he wasn't here, so I went to the market and came to know from others that he had gone to the market to buy a necklace for me. . No one has seen him since then. The owner of the place from where he was about to buy the necklace said that someone had come there and told him that he had an exquisite necklace but for a price. After that no one has heard a word from him."

Adrianna caressed Ookashi. She held Ookashi's shoulders and then pushed her inside gently. "We are trying our best to find him…" Adrianna didn't want to reveal what she saw to Ookashi, afraid that she might panic all the more. She called a maid and asked her to take Ookashi to the guest room so that she could rest a little but Ookashi refused, "Adrianna, how can you even think that I will rest until we find Nate! Two days back, Nate and I decided that we would get married and the next day he goes missing! Do you realize what I am feeling right now?" 

"Ookashi, you haven't slept for over twenty four hours now. Please take some rest," urged Adrianna. She knew that it was difficult for humans to stay awake for so long and that it affected their mental health. Ookashi's face was puffy and her eyes had turned red and swollen because of all the crying. Her parents were dead set against the marriage and she had left her house to be with him. If anything happened to Nate, she wouldn't be able to survive. It was because of her that he had gone missing. 

"No. I am going to stay right here," she said as she broke into a fresh bout of tears. Adrianna had no choice but to cast a sleep spell on her. The next moment Ookashi was sleeping, as tears flowed out of the corner of her eyes. It was a pitiable sight but necessary. The servants took her inside. 

Adrianna asked all the servants to clear the room. When only Liam, Fleur and Dmitri were left, she started, "Today when I went for the magic spell class, I saw a vision of a monster with Nate's body floating around him." 

"What?" Dmitri's skin lined up with goosebumps . "What the hell are you saying? What monster?" 

Adrianna exhaled and then went on to narrate everything patiently to him. At the end of the explanation, all of them were in a state of shock. "Where the hell has the monster taken him?" asked Liam. 

"I have no idea which water body have they gone into but I have only until tomorrow's sunset. After that the monster will kill Nate…" 

"Shut up, Adri!" shouted Dmitri. It was the first time he ever regretted marrying her. Because of her so many problems were constantly arising one after another. He was beginning to get fed up of them.

Adrianna could hear his thoughts and couldn't help but feel miserable in her heart. She knew that already… but she masked her sadness by blocking her mind's thoughts and showed a bold face.

"Let us go to the market place and start finding clues from there," she declared as she stood up and walked out of the room. . As soon as she was on the main gates, she stepped through the portal and entered the market place along with others. They went to the shop as mentioned by Ookashi. 

The shop's owner said, "I was showing exquisite necklaces to Nate but he wasn't impressed. There are so many necklaces here," he said pointing to the display out there, "And each of them are traditional ones that the mates give to their loved ones for wedding but he wanted something unique." 

"Then what happened?" asked Liam.

"There was another man here who was looking at all sorts of jewelry – very peculiar looking man with strange tattoo on his neck. He couldn't speak our language so well, and the way he spoke it appeared as though he was speaking with a lot of difficulty. With every sentence he said, he would exhale and inhale deeply."
