Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 331 - Was She Hallucinating?

Cora was worried that Dmitri had been away from the Werewolf Realm for a long time now. She wanted him back over there, as there were too many matters still pending. There was a pack on the west that was demanding to move from there towards the south. She was not in favor of that move. Liam and Nate had discussed it with her a few days back and they were awaiting Dmitri's answer for the same. 

Adrianna looked at Dmitri with very sad eyes. All of a sudden she realized that now the two of them would be separated for days altogether in order to take care of the kingdoms. She had to find an alternative to combat this situation. Dmitri was in his thoughts when he found Adrianna looking at him with sad expressions. He read her mind and assured her mentally that they would come up with a solution together. He turned his gaze at Cora and said, "Yes mother, I realize that. I will go back tomorrow morning." Cora nodded and got up from there to walk to her room. Ed also left after talking to her about things that she had to take up after becoming the queen. 

The two of them had their lunch and then Dmitri wished to go to the gardens. As they walked over there, he asked her, "What was it that you were stopping Adrianna while the ceremony was going on?" 

Adrianna looked at him excitedly and repeated, "There was a child Dmitri. Didn't you see him?"

"No! I didn't see any child," he replied very confused at her.

"How can this be that I saw him and you didn't? That child was standing unattended in the line. He was so cute that I felt a natural affection towards him. I called him first so that he doesn't get tired standing in the line. He came and spoke something very strange. At the same time he also went to you and played on your legs. Didn't you feel that?" she asked feeling puzzled by his ignorance. 

"Adri, if I had seen him, why would I say I haven't. Was that some sort of a wizard?" 

Adrianna's doubts were confirmed now. Except her no one had seen Ileus. Was it her privilege to see him or be with him? She felt so good when he had placed his hand on her cheek. "Ah! Never mind Dmitri. It must have been my hallucination. I was extremely tired."

Dmitri nodded and clasped his hands at the back. 

After a few more steps, Adrianna said, "It was so nice when the Moon Goddess came to bless me…" she sighed as she said that.

"Moon Goddess? Adri, what is wrong with you? When did Moon Goddess come? You really hallucinated yesterday, huh?" Dmitri was perplexed at her behavior. Did the crowning affect her mind? Had she started hallucinating so much? Suddenly he stopped in front of her stopping her in her tracks. He placed his hand on her forehead and said, "I think you have fever because of exhaustion. Let us go to the healer in the Werewolf Realm to treat you." 

Adrianna smacked his hand from there. "Dmitri! I don't have a fever." She didn't add more words to what she had seen earlier in the morning. She knew that no one would believe her. Perhaps Selene had created a spell on all to forget what had happened. Adrianna smiled. It was a secret between her mother and herself. 

Dmitri wrapped his hand around his wife and said, "Let's get inside. It looks as though it might start snowing soon." And just as he said that it started snowing lightly around them. Adrianna giggled and they went inside. 

Both of them rested for a long time while listening to music or reading books and none of them stepped out of their bedroom. The servants had lit fragrant candles all over the palace in order to create a relaxing atmosphere. Soon the two of them called it a night. 

By the time dawn broke, the snow outside had become thicker. Adrianna went to the balcony and noticed that the snow had covered the third level completely. It was looking so pure and white from where she was that she felt like going there. She looked in her gardens and smiled at the white snow that had covered the green grass all around. It looked as if the green grass never even existed. 

When Dmitri woke up, he started getting ready for the Werewolf Realm much to Adrianna's unhappiness. "When will you come back?" she asked as he was wearing his clothes after taking a bath.

"As soon as possible Adri."

"I will come to you in the evening if you are not here by 7PM."

Dmitri laughed and said, "Okay. That would be better." Then he bit his tongue. "No! You won't step out of this kingdom unless you have queen's security around you, okay?" 

"I am the queen and capable of protecting myself, so don't worry."

"Adri, you won't step out of this place unless you are completely covered by the security and right now I don't see that kind of an arrangement. What I am saying is that you need to create that cabinet of ministers and appoint the right people at places now. Please take your task seriously," said Dmitri in a very strict tone. 

Adrianna sulked. Her lips curved downward. "Okay, I won't come…" she replied. "But you better come here by 7PM or else-" 

Dmitri narrowed his eyes to look at her and she stopped. 

Dmitri and Cora walked out of the portal as Adrianna watched them go. She was very dejected. Ed came from behind and held her shoulders, "Adri, get used to this and I am sure that today you won't find time. Isidorus is waiting for you with a big to-do list." 

Adrianna sighed. Suddenly another portal opened in front of her. What was happening? Who was coming? But instead of anyone coming she noticed Ed smiling at her. "Grandfather, you can't go! You must stay with me. Have you even met with Kayla?"
