Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 87 - Shopping

Dmitri chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." 

Cora's informer had already informed her that Dmitri was at Adrianna's home. Cora sent him away without even reacting to the news and simply contacted Keisha. Even though Keisha had gone to meet the chief of The Silent Moon pack, she terminated the meeting and came over to meet Cora as soon as possible. 

She saw that Cora was preparing to go somewhere. "Cora, you called me?" said Keisha. 

"Yes, I want you to hurry up. We are going to the town. I want to gift you a dress for tonight's occasion," replied Cora with a smile. 

"Oh! Thank you Cora," said Keisha bashfully. Even though she didn't need a dress as she had way too many in her possession, she agreed to go with Cora only to please her. The fact that Cora was on her side regarding Dmitri's marriage was a huge win for Keisha. 

They both headed to the town together. When they entered the only shop in town that sold ball gowns, the shop owner recognized them immediately and personally greeted them. She took them to the private lounge which she had reserved only for those customers who didn't even bother looking at the cost when buying anything. All they saw was the quality and the feel of the material. And Cora was one such person. 

"Please make sure that Keisha gets the best dress available in your store," said Cora to the owner. 

"Yes, of course," the shop owner replied, signaling for Keisha to follow her. Keisha was taken to the area where all of the latest collections were displayed. She picked a few dresses from there and went to the private lounge's fitting room. One by one, she started trying them on and showing Cora. 

Since Adrianna had demanded a new dress, Dmitri took her to the town. Instead of going to the exclusive showroom, she first went to look at the ones that were affordable. However, Dmitri didn't like anything from there - well, he didn't like anything on purpose. How could his bride wear something so plain? Adrianna was dejected by the end of it and on Dmitri's insistence, they went to the town's exclusive shop. 

As the owner was busy with Cora and Keisha, one of the store's salesgirls met them. "I want your best dress for my girl here," said Dmitri to the salesgirl who looked at him with admiration. Adrianna narrowed her eyes and stood in front of Dmitri. "Do you have something really exclusive for me?"

The sales girl bit her lip for being caught ogling at Dmitri. Ashamed at her act, she hurriedly took them to the counter where the latest collections were being displayed. 

Adrianna picked out a few dresses and went to the trying room as Dmitri watched her excitement. He went and sat down on the sofa in front of the room where she was changing. She would come out and twirl around to flaunt her dress and he would make faces showing his displeasure. 

Finally, he approved of a silk blue dress with a huge tulle rose donning the side of the waist. They bought matching sandals and then went to the counter to pay the bill. Unfortunately, at the counter were Cora and Keisha with a large number of bags. 

When Cora finished paying and turned around, her gaze met Dmitri's. He was glaring at her and Keisha. Adrianna was standing by his side. She was surprised to see Keisha, but was also happy at the same time because Keisha looked fine. 

Keisha smiled at Adrianna and said, "How are you Adrianna? After that incident in the forest, I am fine." 

Adrianna flinched and looked at Keisha with guilt in her eyes. She then noticed Cora standing beside Keisha, giving Adrianna a cold stare. 

Dmitri stood in front of Adrianna. 

Cora said, "Dmitri I came here to buy Keisha a dress for tonight's occasion." Then, she smiled coldly at Adrianna and said, "You should also come." 

Adrianna didn't know who the woman could be to be inviting her to Dmitri's gathering, but she politely nodded. 

Keisha chuckled as the both of them headed out. 

"Who was that lady with Keisha?" asked Adrianna.

"She is my mother," he replied before going to pay for the dress. Adrianna was shocked. "You should have introduced me to her properly," she chided him before starting to run after Cora in order to greet her. Dmitri caught her hand and stopped her, "You will meet her in the evening. What's the hurry?"

Once they were out of the shop, he said, "Let's go home." 

It was decided that they would pick up Adrianna's essentials from her cottage before heading to Dmitri's house. At home, Adrianna packed her bag, filling her bag with as many books as possible for her to read over there. She wanted to go later, but Dmitri had insisted that they go as soon as possible after buying the dress as he had a lot of work to do. 

Dmitri had also asked Ed, Kuro, and Adrianna's siblings to be present at the gathering.
