Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Dmitri saw who was standing right behind the guards and what shocked him with what he thought he saw. It was Adrianna behind them. He thought that he was dreaming because it couldn't be possible. Adrianna was in the academy right now. This was the stupidest thing that could have happened. It was as if he caught an apparition of Adrianna. She appeared for a moment and then she wasn't there. However, he became scared that what would Adrianna think if she actually saw this situation! 

Dmitri shirked those thoughts away and focused his attention on the two bitches in front of him. 

One of the old men was blabbing, "You people are showing your authority on poor people like us. Your father had vouched that he would give your hand to my granddaughter and now that you have found us, you are giving us this kind of treatment. Why? Only because you don't want to compensate us? Are you going back on your words? Your father was a fantastic man but you are such a disappointment."

Julia started sobbing again. She clutched her towel and said, "He tried to bully us in having his way in the bathtub and now he is telling all this nonsense." 

Cora went and slapped her tightly right across the face. "Shut up!" 

Julia's mouth opened as she caught her face. She held Sheena's hand tightly. 

Cora knew by now that those were imposters. She had a thousand questions to ask but just as she was about to ask, Liam came with his men. Cora looked at him and after mentally reading them, she said, "Speak!" 

Liam started speaking, "These two girls belong to the Green Moon Pack which is more than twenty miles away from here. There could have been no way that these girls would have come to play in Alex's cave from there. You can't imagine a three year old to come and play twenty miles away in Alex's cave." Liam turned to the two old men. "These two men are Baka and Kil. They both have large harems and these two are the newest addition to their harems."

The faces of the girls paled as the two men started kicking the guards to escape. Cora crossed her arms. She scoffed at them, "You fools, do you think it was so easy to come and create this drama?" 

"Arrest them and execute them tomorrow morning for conspiracy!" shouted Dmitri to the guards.

"Wait!" yelled one of the old men. "What conspiracy?" he asked with fear visible in his eyes.

"For framing the supreme alpha in something as baseless as this!" Dmitri replied with a menacing threat.

Back in the wizard kingdom, Adrianna was learning spells when suddenly she felt as though Dmitri was remembering her. She smiled and had an urgent desire to meet him. With that in mind, she was unable to concentrate on what Coral was teaching and somehow she found herself in the main hall of the wolf realm. She could see Dmitri wrapped in a towel, with Cora and Liam and some unknown strangers. She also saw two girls standing behind Dmitri wrapped in towels! Adrianna was shocked. Suddenly she heard Coral shouting "Adrianna!" 

Adrianna's concentration broke and she found herself knocked on the floor by a spell that was supposed to throw you several feet away. Coral was teaching them to defend themselves from that spell, but it seemed that Adrianna had phased out. 

"I- I am sorry!" said Adrianna as she got up from there. It looked as though she had mentally teleported for a few seconds in the werewolf realm. 

"What happened?" asked Coral as she rushed to Adrianna who was sitting on the ground with a blank expression. 

"N- nothing," she replied getting up and brushing her robe. 

Coral saw that she was fine and continued teaching them.  

When the academy was over, Adrianna went to the palace only to find Mihr. He was getting super enthusiastic to teach her more. That evening he taught her till late in the evening because he said that she needed a lot of rest before the competition began. She asked him whether there were any loopholes in the rules to which he smiled and said, "None. If a student tries to circumvent the rules, he or she will be immediately disqualified." 

Satisfied with what he had taught her, Mihr left. 

Dmitri was already there when Adrianna finished and reached the bedroom. She was pretty tired. She had an early dinner and went off to sleep. 

Next day being a Sunday, Adrianna didn't bother to wake up early. Dmitri also let her rest. However, he had gone to the werewolf realm and come back even before she had woken up. When she opened her eyes, she found him standing in the balcony and having fresh juice. She went to him and circled him from behind. "Good morning." 

"Did you sleep well?" he asked. 

"Mhmm…"

"Tomorrow I have a surprise for you," he said as he turned towards her. 

"What is it?" she asked. 

He laughed, "It is a surprise!" 

Adrianna smiled lazily and went to take a shower. Next day was a big day. She was getting anxious to be there and face her opponents. The ministry had announced who would be in her pool of students but she didn't know whom she would be facing. She remembered all those who were there in her pool. Once she came out, she made a note of each one of them and started writing about their strengths and weaknesses. She chuckled at the thought that if she had known who was there in her pool earlier, she would have delved into their minds and found a lot about their character.

Dmitri came to her and sat down with her to list all the things that came to her mind. She chuckled as she voiced her opinion to him. 

"Is there a rule that you cannot delve in their minds?" he asked.  

"How can there be a rule Dmitri, when they don't know that I can enter their minds? The only way wizards know how to enter the minds is by casting the "Aanimi Arcaa" spell." 

"Well, in that case you better utilize your power." He replied matter of factly. 

"No, I can't," she said, shaking her head vehemently. 

"Why not Adri? That's your power, something inborn and not something you have acquired by learning. You are also a werewolf. If you need you should shape shift. Use your inborn powers and talent. No one can stop you from that. Don't just focus on being a witch to win that competition. You have to win it using all your powers. Plus I am sure others would also be using their powers or some skills they might have learnt from here and there." 

Adrianna looked at him with wide eyes. He wasn't wrong in what he was telling her. 

"You have to defend yourself and that is of utmost importance. Okay?" he said keeping a hand on her shoulders and looking directly in the black of her eyes. 

"I am not asking you to do anything sneaky, all I am asking you is to defend yourself. They number of training sessions you have taken for a month was exhausting, but do you realize the number of years those wizards and witches have been taught? They were taught since they were not even ten. So they will use all that has been taught to them and they will exploit it. You have to use all that has been taught to you along with your powers. Use them!"   

"I am scared Dmitri. What if someone gets hurt?"
