Niiya had been suddenly swarmed with a lot of work, so after classes finished, he ran to the entertainment committee even though he wanted to take Adrianna to the café to talk more.

When college ended, Adrianna went to the parking lot to get to her motorbike. ​​

She placed her backpack in the motorcycle box and started the ignition. She had many back-to-back classes and was so tired that she wanted to just get into bed. She had forgotten about Keisha's message.

Just as she was leaving the campus on her motorbike, she saw Pryce standing by the main gate staring at her. Adrianna stared back at Pryce, wondering what was wrong with Pryce for Pryce to be looking so ferociously at her.

'Oh!' Adrianna remembered Keisha's message and turned the motorbike to park it again. 'Hah, so she wanted me to remind of her message.'

Adrianna went through the periphery of the college and into the woods where Keisha had specified.

She had walked quite a bit inside the forest, but she couldn't find Keisha. She got irritated and started to walk back. This time, her walk broke into a jog as she badly wanted to go home. It had been a week since Ed had come back and he had been asking her to practice her magic. She had planned to practice it in the quiet of the night with him.

She was jogging back, immersed in her thoughts, when she heard a nasty growl before all of a sudden, Keisha jumped in front of her.

Adrianna stopped with a startle. She stood in her place, panting a little. Then, she crossed her arms as Keisha circled her while growling menacingly.

"I told you to stay away from Dmitri and you haven't paid heed to my words," said Keisha, seething with anger.

"Keisha, I have no interest in Dmitri. I know he is with you," said Adrianna, becoming upset over her accusations. She had never lead Dmitri in any way, knowing full well that Keisha was with him. She had always tried her best to control her wolf.

"Don't give me that!" shouted Keisha. "I saw what happened at the auditions today."

Adrianna looked down. How could the chemistry between Dmitri and herself escape anyone? She had been so flushed by the time the scene finished that she ran out of the hall with her heart palpitating as though it would jump out of its ribcage.

When Keisha saw her standing quiet without an answer, she growled again. "I challenge you to a fight. We'll see who is more deserving of Dmitri. I have been to so many wars with him that you couldn't possibly imagine. My father had already given me to him unconditionally. We have always been together and now you show up. Do you think it is so easy to take him away from me? My affection for him runs like blood in my veins. I will even kill you for him," vented Keisha.

"Are you done? Because I have to go. I already told you my stance on this matter. There is nothing more to do here," said Adrianna, desperate to leave the place. She didn't want to discuss Dmitri or her feelings for him. They were inexplicable; they were hers and she would never share them with anyone. She wanted to suffer alone with her feelings.

Keisha flared and, without warning, pushed Adrianna with such force that Adrianna fell a few feet away from where she had been standing. Adrianna looked at Keisha in anger. She stood up, dusted her clothes, and started to walk away, ignoring her.

Keisha wouldn't let her. She held her hand, pulled her back, and again, pushed her to the ground.

Once Adrianna was down, Keisha attacked her again. This time, ferociously. But Adrianna had got up by then so the two of them leapt at each other, crashing into each other mid-air. Both of them were so forceful that they fell down and tumbled together, rolling on the forest floor.

Adrianna kicked Keisha and swiftly sprang up before straddling Keisha. Keisha's actions were so infuriating that Adrianna lost it. Not only had she pent up her emotions about Dmitri, but she was now dealing with someone who simply wasn't listening. Her rage came out as uncontrolled wild magic and a white light passed through her hands, striking Keisha's body.

Before Adrianna realized, Keisha had passed out. Adrianna looked down at Keisha and then at her own hands. She was bewildered as to what had happened. It was crazy. Her anger turned into anxiety. She patted Keisha.

"Keisha. Keisha." She patted her cheeks, hoping to get a response.

But Keisha didn't respond. Scared, Adrianna moved away from her.

---

At the college, Dmitri and Nate walked to the garage and waited for Keisha to come. When she hadn't come for a while, they tried to communicate with her mentally, but she wasn't responding. Worried, both of them searched the places where she usually went.

When they couldn't find her, they met back at the parking area.

Like a fleeting flash, Dmitri heard her growl. He looked at the forest and ran in the direction of the sound with Nate, who understood his alpha, following close behind. Since she wasn't responding, they had to rely on their basic instincts.
