Adrianna raised her head to look at him. His hand moved over his chest feebly as if he was trying to find something. When his hand found hers, he held it weakly and became motionless again. Adrianna tightened her hold around him and spoke softly, "I am right here beside you…" 

 

​​

While she spent every minute of the day waiting for him to wake up, she came to realize how much of her life was missing without him. She had never felt these kinds of emotions before and now, Dmitri was filling that void. His touch, his closeness, was filled with passion which provided a soft cushion for the emotional scars she had in the past. Perhaps that wasis why they said that love was a gift from the universe it was magic. She found herself addicted, within only a few days, to the man whom she had been born to find. She thought about how fast all of this had progressed. Had she not been forced to stay at home by her father, she would have never agreed to marry Dmitri. 

 

But now, she and her wolf were burning in the same flame. She was happy to be beside him, but and oblivious to the darkness that surrounded them. 

 

That day, Nate came over to find Dmitri. Although he didn't ask any questions, he was still curious, as well as angry with Dmitri for not telling him anything. After all, he was Dmitri's beta and the beta was supposed to know everything about his alpha. 

 

When he arrived at the healer's hut, he found Ed sitting with the other wolves outside. He asked, "Ed, can we talk for a moment?" 

 

Ed had an inkling as to what Nate wanted to know. He said, "Sure," and they headed out. They walked until the periphery of the red moon pack's territory before they started talking. 

 

Nate asked him, "How did Dmitri get into such a serious situation?"

 

"I don't know Nate," he replied, shrugging his shoulders. He hadn't even divulged this information to Kuro, so how could he tell anything to Nate? 

 

"But getting the supreme alpha in a condition as serious as this means something. This is unacceptable. As soon as Dmitri recovers, I will find the person responsible and make sure that they are dead," Nate spat, seething in anger. "Adrianna was also found with him. This only means one thing – there is someone who wants to kill both the supreme alpha and the woman he wants to marry. I smell a deep plot here Ed. Dmitri has too many enemies, and now Adrianna has also become their target." Nate's anger was mixed with worry. 

 

Ed cringed. He had to divert Nate's attention to other details. He said, "You see, both of them were found a mile away from the wizards' territory…" 

 

"So… you mean that the wizards are involved in this accident?" Nate asked, looking at Ed suspiciously. 

 

"No!" said Ed, shocked at his accusation. "We cannot jump to any conclusions for now Nate. Let's just wait for them to recover as soon as possible." With that, Ed tried to put a stop to the conversation and started walking back. Nate wanted to talk more, but seeing Ed's reluctance, he followed Ed in, thinking that he would talk to Dmitri about it later. 

 

But just before he entered the hut, Nate asked, "Have you told anyone about Dmitri's condition?" 

 

"No, we've been asked to keep it a secret," replied Ed as he entered the hut.

 

He saw that both Adrianna and Dmitri were lying on the same bed and sleeping while holding onto each other. He was filled with such a warm feeling that he smiled and walked out of the hut, closing the door behind them. The two of them would heal each other. He was confident. 

 

It was on the second day that Dmitri finally came to his senses. It was night and he could see Adrianna sleeping, curled like ivy around him. He smiled at her and turned to face her, waking her up in the process. She looked up to find him staring at her and immediately, she retracted her hands and legs. She sprang up and touched his forehead. "Are you okay? Do you want to eat something? Is your head aching? Can you see properly? Should I call the healer? Do you want water?" 

 

Dmitri laughed at her and closed her lips with his fingers. "So many questions! I am fine Adri," he said before pulling her closer to hug her. 

 

For Adrianna, seeing him talking and laughing was like medicine. After two long days of being alone, her pain ebbed. She had felt knives in her heart - sharp blades cutting through her flesh. It was her will power alone that she kept her sane. She had taken a giant leap forward and wanted to feel the ground now. 

 

Adrianna nodded happily.
