Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 61 - The Search (1)

Adrianna sat on her bed as the tears cleansed her cheeks. Some of them refused to leave her eyes and, consequently, blurred her vision as waves of sadness passed through her system. Some tears flowed into her mouth, allowing her to taste her own sorrow. Her body crashed under the extremities and she inwardly cried for help. The entire blue moon pack could hear her this time as she had lowered her mental communication shields, but none of them helped her. She was looking for a sign of someone - anyone - out there for her, but her whimper was slowly lost. She laid on the bed reminiscing and indulging in her past to calm her nerves and ignore her uncertain future.

Kuro came to her room. ??

Without consoling her, he said, "Adrianna, tomorrow the supreme alpha will be here. I expect you to calm down before that. I don't want you to come up with any more of your tricks. When he is here, present yourself properly. I have no idea as to why he wants to marry you, but if that is the only way to ward him off of our territory, I will willingly give you away."

Adrianna turned to sit and looked at him. Kuro noticed that her eyes were red and teary. Her shirt was disheveled. His eyes traveled to her dark thick hair and was reminded of her mother. His insides sunk when he realized that he wanted to run his fingers through her hair to calm her down. He could see her mother's beautiful face in front of his eyes whenever he looked at her and was only reminded about how crazily he had been attracted to her mother. He inhaled sharply, trying to focus on her and not her mother.

"You look so depressing," he said. "Pretty yourself up. If you want, you can ask for Kayla's help."

Adrianna laughed through her tears, "I look depressing, huh?" she paused. "What time will he come tomorrow?" she asked wiping her tears.

"In the evening…" he replied.

"Ok… please go…" she said before going back to laying on her bed.

Kuro left. He went to Kayla's room and asked her to help Adrianna dress up the next day. Kayla was already peeved at Adrianna for becoming the a center of attraction and taking away her limelight. Although she agreed to her father's request, she had devious plans cooking in her mind.

Adrianna's mind went to Keisha. 'How is she? What could must be happening to her? Is she safe?' she thought. Adrianna was upset about Keisha's behavior. She had told Keisha multiple times that she wasn't interested in Dmitri. So why was Keisha being jealous? Her mind wandered to Niiya, to Ookashi, and then their parents. In the end, she didn't realize when she had fallen asleep.

Ed had been scouring the forest ever since Kuro had said that he hadn't kidnapped Niiya. If Kuro hadn't kidnapped Niiya, it could be possible that an enemy of Niiya's his father might have kidnapped him. In either case, he just wanted to find Niiya in order to lift any suspicion from Adrianna. He didn't have much time.

He had used various connections to ask about him, but everything was in vain. None of the packs had any information about him. The problem was that Ed couldn't ask too many people since he didn't want it to become a huge issue and get out of hand. He also knew that this would attract the unwanted attention of witches and wizards, so he maintained a low profile and only asked the people he trusted the most.

Ed ran through a list of places where he thought Niiya might be being kept in his mind, and checking off the places that he had already searched, as he gazed around the jungle. He came across an abandoned wooden cabin where he thought he heard the sound of thumping against the walls. He became alerted and thought that perhaps Niiya was in that cabin. He went near it cautiously, expecting someone to come out of it, but no one came out. The thumping grew louder. He neared the cabin carefully and quietly. There was no one on the outside, so who was the one thumping on the inside?

He opened the door, but couldn't see anyone inside. Curious, he walked further inside. There was a small door inside the cabin. It creaked as it opened. The thump stopped as soon as the door opened.
