Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 362 - Pregnancy (4)

Adrianna and Dmitri walked through the portal right into the Royal Palace where she summoned Isidorus. 

Isidorus was sleeping in his palace because he had been working all night to recreate the wall along with Mihr, Ziu and other wizards. The wall was strong now but not as strong as it was before. The earlier wall had been a work of several thousand years and it was impossible to make it like that again but for now it was pretty strong. They all had only one thing at the back of the mind – they had to stop Vikra from entering. They were relaxed that at least his fellow wizards were all taken care of and now only he was left, but he was a force to be reckoned with. 

Isidorus was wearing his nightdress when he was summoned. Not bothering about his dress, he just walked into the main hall. It was afternoon. Maybe she called him to discuss about the night's strategy. They were all expecting Vikra that night. When he entered the main hall, he saw that she was sitting with Dmitri who held her hand and was stroking her back. 

He read their expressions and knew that there was something very important. He frowned and asked, "My Queen, what is it?" he asked with concern etched on his face and sat down opposite them.

Dmitri looked at Isidorus with a worried expression, "Adri is pregnant." 

Isidorus' eyes became wide with so many expressions that he became speechless. There was shock, fear, excitement, caution and anxiousness. It was the first time in his life he experienced nervousness. The heir apparent chose to come in this world now? How could this be? A war had broken between the Wizards and neotides. There was danger lurking around her. She was about to be converted into a werewolf because of her curse and the baby chose to come now? Didn't he or she understood the gravity of the situation? Suddenly there was a line of sweat on his forehead. Never in his dreams he had thought about this situation. He was prepared for a strategy for war, for bloodshed, but he was not prepared for the jolt she just gave. "Preg- pregnant?" he stuttered. "How can this be?" 

Adrianna rolled her eyes at Isidorus reading his mind. "I didn't choose to be pregnant now!" she replied with anger. 

"Umm… Would you like me to tell you the details on how Adri became pregnant?" asked Dmitri with a poker face. 

Isidorus clenched his jaws at the shameless man in front of him. At least he should have the decency of being a king. "No, I don't need the details," he replied calmly to his emperor. 

Dmitri shrugged and looked at Adrianna as if telling him, your loss. 

"So what do we do now Adrianna?" asked Isidorus. He had to protect his queen and the baby in her. "Should we announce it to the kingdom?"

"No!" shouted Adrianna. "We will not tell this to anyone. Just the three of us know it for now." 

"Then what do we do?" asked Isidorus become panicky now. It was as if he had become Adrianna's father suddenly. "You will be becoming a rogue werewolf in a few hours. We have to keep an eye on you so that you don't harm the baby in you." Isidorus was almost on the verge of a nervous breakdown when he thought that Adrianna might not even understand about her pregnancy under her curse. "I suggest we keep her confined in the Wizard Kingdom," he added looking at Dmitri. 

"It is impossible to confine Adrianna when she turns into a rogue werewolf. No magic works on her and she becomes too powerful to be reined. In fact if she is restrained here, there are chances that she would become free in no time and then people here would come to know about her curse," replied Dmitri. 

"So what do we do?" asked Isidorus, now so exasperated that he could faint. He just wanted to hide Adrianna from the world for the moment. Why the hell was he feeling so protective, he couldn't understand? He wanted her to deliver the baby under full protection. He wanted that baby. He felt he was already a servant to the unborn child. What was this? He couldn't fathom his deep feelings for the child she was carrying, for the baby who was probably not even the size of a tiny seed inside her. 

Unbeknownst to him, those were the powers of the unborn child. 

"I will go out to the Werewolf Realm along with Dmitri. We know that place and Dmitri already know how to control me. We had been in this situation earlier also," she said. 

"Why don't we go to Ed's place?" suggested Isidorus. "That ways you would hide from the chaotic situation. No one would ever be able to find out about you." 

"No. My best bet at the moment is the Werewolf Realm," she said with determination. 

Isidrus became angry, "Why?" he asked. "You cannot risk the life of the baby in you!" he would have killed that person if someone else had suggested it. He was becoming possessive about the child with each passing minute. 

"Sometimes you have to do things that are important. I have to take my chances even when I am out of control. I know that with me being a rogue werewolf, I will be able to kill all the neotides who would come to attack me and I can't leave my kingdom for my own selfish reasons. So I will take my chances and kill them in that state too," she said with so much determination that Isidorus could not say a word. 

"But the baby…" he said feeling a quiver down his spine. 

"Dmitri would be there with me,' she replied and left the room. 

Isidorus felt helpless and miserable. He was too angry at her stubborn behavior but what she said wasn't incorrect. She talked like a queen. She wanted to win the battle even if she had to face the extreme. 

It was 4PM now. In some time it would be twilight.

Vikra started gathering his remaining army. He had decided to reach the wall of the Wizard Kingdom within the next two hours with full force.
