Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Even though he didn't feel like hearing her, her request for audience with him in private was something he was curious about. He guided her to a small room on the side of the hall. As they walked together, they attracted a lot of strange glances.

When they went inside, Mihr closed the door behind him. It was a small room with green carpet, which looked like grass. There was only one small table flanked by four comfortable sofas on all sides. It looked like a tearoom.

Adrianna didn't sit. She walked to a sofa and stood behind it. She was the first to talk. "I know that you are opposed to me being the queen," she said and sipped her wine looking nonchalant.

Mihr pursed his lips. He went to sit on the sofa opposite her.

"However, I have a small proposition that I think may interest you."

Mihr looked at her and scoffed, "Adrianna, don't think that I am going to get into any trap of yours. I know very well that you are close to Isidorus. He had found you only to make you the queen. Everyone over here knows that I am opposed to you being the queen of the wizard kingdom. My daughter Nefasky stands a better chance and I will prove that she is going to be the queen and not you!"

Adrianna ignored his outburst. When she heard Nefasky's name, she remembered how she was involved in Liam's poisoning and wanted to punish her. She seethed from inside. However, this wasn't the time to show her emotions. "Don't let others know what you are thinking." She reminded herself.

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Do you want to hear my proposition or not because as far as I know you will gain heavily from it. If you don't want to hear, I will go…" Adrianna started walking out.

She had to take chances with him and the age-old trick of not revealing anything until the other person's interest peaked worked almost always. As soon as she turned the knob, he said, "Okay, tell me about it."

Adrianna smiled. She turned back, kept the glass on the only table inside and sat down on the sofa opposite him. She crossed her legs, rested her back behind and said, "I am fed up of Isidorus ways. He is too nagging and I am getting irritated. I want to get that throne as soon as possible. The problem is that you people have put this one-moth-going-to-the-academy condition on me on a mandatory basis. It is ridiculous! I mean if I am the queen, just crown me. Why bother training me? Damn it!"

Mihr looked at her as though he was looking at some silly person. Only a dumb person could say that. In his heart he knew that Isidorus had agreed to send Adrianna to the academy to learn various skills because it was for her betterment. Although his intentions were to buy more time.

"So what do you want?" he asked with his hand on his chin.

"Look, I want to be the queen as soon as possible. So why don't the two of us collude? You show your support to me and push the other ministers to hurry up the process. When I will get the throne, I will give you the position of isidorus and you can practically run the wizard kingdom the way you like…" Adrianna picked her wine glass and sipped again. She looked at him with question in her eyes, "What do you think?"

"Why, are you in a hurry to get the throne?" he asked.

"Come on! Who wouldn't want to be? Just cut the chase Mihr and let me know. I am getting very impatient now."

Mihr snickered. This girl never wanted the throne initially. She was very quiet and demure. He was afraid of her because she never revealed her plans and had the backup of Isidorus. However, his fears were baseless. She turned out to be just any other teenage girl who lusted after power. She had become too arrogant in such short time.

"Why would I listen to a girl who has hideous plans? You are betraying Isidorus, what are the chances you will not betray me?" he narrowed her eyes ate her.

"Well, that is why I am offering you Isidorus' position – to show that I won't betray you." She paused before continuing, "You can whatever you like. I will mostly be with Dmitri anyways."

Mihr smiled inside. "I need time to think."

"Okay," she shrugged and then got up to walk out. Just before she opened the room, she said, "I need an answer within a day's time. Also if you tell anything about our meeting to Isidorus, remember Nefasky is in my class."

Adrianna exited the room and Mihr sipped the wine from his glass.
