Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 401 - I Have Orders To Kill You

Adrianna was sitting along with Dmitri and his parents in their room. Cora was asking her all about her pregnancy and Pierre was fussing a lot. Suddenly he stood from his place and went to his wardrobe from where he dug out a blue velvet box. Keeping it in front of Adrianna he said, "Cora and I have bought this for you a week back. This is our first gift to you together after you have become pregnant."

Adrianna pursed her lips. That was an expensive gift and she wasn't sure whether she should accept it or not. She looked at Dmitri from the corner of her eyes. He just sat near his mother eating the apples she was peeling for him.

"Take it," he mentally communicated. "They would feel bad if you won't." 

She smiled and said, "Thank you father. I will take this one but please don't buy anymore. I have so many that Dmitri had bought and a lot in the Royal Palace."

Pierre looked at the girl in front of her. Most girls of her age would have gladly accepted any jewelry they would be gifted with and she was simply taking it as a curtsey. He smiled and replied, "Get used to it Adrianna. We will be gifting more. After all you are the Luna of the Supreme Alpha and the Queen of the Wizard Kingdom. You will keep getting such gifts." 

Adrianna sighed knowing that he said the truth. She opened the blue velvet box and found a shimmering bracelet with five round rubies that were surrounded with diamonds on all sides. She gawked at it. The bracelet must be so expensive, she didn't even want to imagine the cost. Despite the fact that she had been Dmitri's wife for so long and was the Wizard Queen, she still couldn't get the attitude to behave like one. 

Not her fault. She was treated like trash when she was with her family. 

She picked the bracelet and wore it around her left wrist. 

"Thank you mother and father," she said with gratitude thanking the wolf spirits the thousandth time to give her such a wonderful family. 

Pierre smiled back at her. He continued, "You should be very careful about your well being. Cora tells me that you don't eat nicely and that you were very thin before marriage and there is no change in your body after you have got married. I am very scared that this would affect the child."

Dmitri laughed. Adrianna had been eating like a cow. "Thin? From which angle father? She-" He looked at Adrianna and closed his mouth. She was staring at him with narrowed eyes as if trying to say that if you speak one more word, you are staying here while I am gone. 

Pierre was angry for being interrupted so rudely by his father. "Shut up Dmitri! Can't you see what pregnant women should look like? You should have seen your mother. She looked like a cow when she was expecting you!" 

Dmitri couldn't hold his laughter now. He chuckled slightly trying his best to control his laughter and then he saw his mother who was glaring at his father. His gaze turned to Adrianna and then his chuckle converted in a full fledged laughter. He started rolling on the bed with his hands on his stomach. 

"When the hell did I look like a fat cow, Pierre?" Cora shouted as her face became red with anger. 

"Eh?" was all that Pierre managed to say. 

Suddenly there was an earth shattering sound outside in the garden and all of them sat up. The sound was so loud, it seemed as if something had broken. The ground shook. Was that an earthquake? They were shocked. 

All four of them immediately vacated the room and went outside. As they were going outside to find, Liam, Fleur and Nate were coming in. 

"What is happening?" asked Dmitri as he shielded his parents and Adrianna. 

"You must come outside now," said Liam. He turned to look at Fleur and said, "Create a portal now for Adrianna to leave for the Wizard Kingdom."

"Can someone tell me what happened outside?" demanded Dmitri again.

"When we came to the mansion after hearing the sound, we saw that the ground near the foundation had cracked open," explained Nate. "We are still investigating what caused that but for now we want Adrianna to be safe please. In fact send your parents also with her to the Wizard Kingdom." 

But Adrianna wasn't satisfied with the answer. "Fleur, create the portal. Mother and father, you go to the Palace and wait for my cue to come here," she said. 

"No!" shouted Dmitri. However, before he could say another word, she was already out of the main door while Fleur had created the portal. As soon as Cora and Pierre left, the portal closed. 

Dmitri, Liam, Nate and Fleur followed Adrianna outside. They were aghast when they saw the scene in front of them. 

Adrianna was standing in front of a huge ebony serpent that looked like a dragon that was almost twenty feet tall. It was sitting on its tail. The ground around it was shattered. There were many cracks and debris were scattered around. The scales present on its back were standing against the skin and its large fangs were clearly visible. There were scales present on the entire body, which were glimmering under the amethyst colored dusk. Its gray eyes were staring directly at Adrianna. 

There were wizards and werewolves who had surrounded it from all sides but he was hardly intimidated by them. 

"Step back Adri!," said Dmitri mentally. 

"Who are you?" asked Adrianna ignoring Dmitri's warning. 

The snake hissed its name, "Rhyssss," and then uncoiled its tail and threw it lightly on the ground. 

"What do you want?" she asked like a Queen, unnerved at his show of strength. 

"You…" it hissed back. 

Although the two of them were talking, no one understood what they spoke.  

"I am warning you. Go back to where you have come from Rhys, else I will kill you."

"No, I have orders to kill you," he said as he lowered his face to her level and bared its fangs. "I am going to enjoy ripping you apart." 

All those who surrounded him came a step forward. The wizards and witches that were hovering above also inched closer with their wands pointing at him.
