Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Vikra was preparing to go with the remaining force and attack the Wizard Kingdom to give it a final blow. He was sure that Cy and his fellow wizard must have breached the walls by now. It was just a matter of time that the kingdom would fall in his hands. He had once again gone to the underground caves where the neotides were making new armor for the battle to remind them that they should all be ready for tonight's battle. When he said that to them, they all seemed excited and he too was excited to go out. He was going to be victorious after a wait of over two hundred years. The Wizard Kingdom would be his. He had so many neotides that he didn't even bother about the puny number of wizards over there. He laughed all his way out of the cave exhilarated at his thought. 

When he reached up, he noticed that a messenger was waiting for him to give the news. Thinking that it was just the regular news that he had to give, he went and sat on his throne that was carved in a rock inside the cave and then looked at the messenger. The messenger could feel his creepy, hollow look on him and shivered to the core. It was always extremely frightening around Vikra and the news that he was about to give might cost his life but he had to take the chance because he was pushed by his General to deliver it. His General had threatened him that if he didn't give the news to Vikra, he would be beheaded. It was a different thing that the General himself was very scared. 

"Master, I bow to thee," said the messenger loudly and knelt down. "There is important news that you should know." 

Vikra scratched his bony chin with his bony fingers knowing what the messenger was about to inform. He knew that the wall was already breached. 

After a pause, the messenger said in a shaky voice, "Master, Cy and his fellow wizard are dead!" 

Vikra looked at the messenger and hissed as if he would kill him for speaking nonsense. He got up from his chair and glided on the floor to reach him. He stuck out one of his bony fingers and placed it beneath his chin, "What did you say? Repeat it." He couldn't believe what he just heard. He could feel the anger rising inside him. 

"M- Master, it is not my fault," replied the messenger, feeling the death hanging over him. 

"Speak!" hissed Vikra as he poked his bony finger in his chin and the blood started flowing out. 

"Cy and his fellow wizard are dead. When they were just about to breach the wall, an illusion occurred and all the neotides and the wizards were cheated," said the messenger. He went on to narrate all that happened yesterday night and by the time he finished, the bony finger had dug into his flesh. He still hoped that Vikra would leave him. His neck was fully covered with blood now.  

"Which wizard came out to kill him?" asked Vikra. Who could be so powerful to kill a General as powerful as Cy? 

"The speculation is that it was the Mozias and Adrianna."

"Where is Reese?" he asked because her safety was of utmost importance. She was controlling the neotides.

"She is still there. All the neotides over there are pretty scared. Master, we need you amongst us. The morale of the neotides is at an all time low," said the messenger. He thought he was coaxing Vikra but in fact he was only adding to his anger. In no time, Vikra's finger pierced through his jaw. Few seconds later, the limbs of messenger were ripped and thrown around the cave as Vikra hissed in rage. 

He was going to attack the Wizard Kingdom with full force now. He was going to take down Adrianna now! There would be no stopping. He wanted her dead.

Adrianna was stunned when she heard about her pregnancy. When they all reached home, she went to her bedroom along with Dmitri and the first thing Dmitri did was to wrap her in his arms and kiss her on her face everywhere. He was beaming with joy while she was standing there numb at the thought. What would happen now? She had to protect her baby. She had to survive the full moon night. Dmitri saw her face and knew her concern. He stopped kissing her and said, "How about you spend the night at Ed's place? That is safest. Please Adri, you must do that." 

Adrianna removed his hands from her and went to sit on the bed. She was in deep thoughts. She was thinking about something and had blocked Dmitri. He walked to sit near her and held her face. "Why are you afraid? I am there with you." 

"Dmitri, I have to protect our baby at any cost," she said and remembered that Ileus had come when she was being crowned. Now she realized what he meant and now she realized how powerful her baby was. Ileus was going to be the most powerful ruler the Wizard Kingdom had ever seen but he came to her to see that he survived, to see that she survived. He had walked to her from future. When she thought that she was shaken to the core. Her hand went to her tummy, to the little baby, to little Ileus who had attached himself to her body. She had to quickly think of a way to protect him. 

She could sense Vikra's anger and hatred. Her eyes filled with tears. 

"Dmitri, I have to go to the Wizard Kingdom now and meet Isidorus," she said in an urgent voice. 

He tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you happy that we are going to have a baby? I want to see another Adri hanging around me…"  

She smiled as tears started coming out of her eyes and through those tears she said, "I have to protect my baby at any cost. Dmitri, I am ecstatic that our child has chosen us to be his parents but he needs to be guarded well."

Dmitri wiped her tears feeling warm about her and his unborn baby. His was so overwhelmed that he couldn't express. His bundle of joy was inside her. "Let us go and meet Isidorus." 

"No one in the Wizard Kingdom should know about my pregnancy except Isidorus," she said as they stepped into the portal.
