Feral Confessions – Adrianna And The Alpha

Pierre was getting tensed when he heard a rustle in the prison. No one came at that time usually. Since he was shackled in chains that had magic, he couldn't escape ever. Hence hardly two or three neotides were needed as guards for him because they knew that he could never run away. So who was it at this time of the morning? It was the first time he heard someone walking outside during this time. He looked through the darkness in front of him through the prison bars and was shocked when suddenly he found a beast with golden yellow eyes standing in front of him outside the bars. Its golden fur coat was appearing beautiful in the dark too. On closer inspection, he saw that it was a werewolf. It growled. 

After a moment of shocked silence, he asked, "Who are you?" Pierre tried to communicate with it mentally. If it belonged to his pack, he would reply back mentally. "Are you the one whom I have to meet in the fighting arena in the morning?"

As the sun rose, it was time for Vikra to go to his favorite beast in the captivity. He had to see the fight. It was a beautiful day, which he was looking forward. While he was preparing to leave and announce for the fight, which other neotides came and watched for entertainment, a messenger came in his cave. 

He bowed and then informed, "Master, report has come from the borders. Isidorus and his men are seeking an audience with you." 

Although he knew that it would eventually happen, Vikra's fun was spoiled when he heard Isidorus' name. "What do they want?" he hissed. 

The messenger extended a scroll towards him and said, "They have written it all over here."

Vikra took the scroll and opened it while the messenger waited. 

The writing was in ancient wizard language, which was prevalent in his time when he was the ruler of the Wizard Kingdom. He smiled that Isidorus remembered to convey in the two hundred year old language to make it sound cryptic. 

Isidorus had asked him to either surrender and give Adrianna or be ready for the worst war of his existence. Furthermore he had requested that they talk about it and offered a peace treaty. Vikra laughed. How could Isidorus even think that he would sign a peace treaty with them? It had been so long since he wanted to rule the Kingdom again and now was the time when he would not only rule the Wizard Kingdom but also the world. 

He looked at the messenger and said, "Ask them to come here in an hour. I want to show them a spectacle of their life!" 

The messenger bowed and left. 

Vikra couldn't think of a better way to entertain his guests from the outside. He hoped that Dmitri would also come. 

He went to see Adrianna in the cave who was eating the flesh of a freshly killed deer. The way her jaws were tearing into the flesh, Vikra could only feel the power. He laughed softly so as not to disturb her and said, "Eat nicely Adrianna. Today the fight will be witnessed by your husband too." 

He kept looking at her for some time while appreciating her magnificence. He had already instructed the guards to bring Pierre to the fighting arena and had intentionally told them not to serve him food. 

His guests came soon and he had to return to his cave. When he entered, he noticed that Isidorus was standing with Mihr and few other wizards. He remarked, "I was expecting Dmitri too." He really wanted Dmitri to see the fight between his wife and his father. 

Vikra walked towards his seat and sat there grandly trying to convey that this was his territory. Holding his face in his bony fingers, he looked at them. He treated them like scum and didn't even offer to sit. 

Isidorus wasn't expecting anything from Vikra. He had met him after such a long time and could feel that his entire hostility had oozed out of his system. He wanted to kill Vikra there and then except for the fact that he was actually on a mission to save Adrianna and her baby. Along with Mihr and the Mozias, he stood there in front of him as he watched him sit in his chair. 

"I will not leave Adrianna," said Vikra opening the conversation between them. He was blatant and wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible. 

Isidorus glared at the bony structure in front of him with hatred. "You should realize the consequences of this battle. I can already see that you will be defeated and I will personally ensure that your pitiable existence from this world is over," replied Isidorus in an aggressive tone. 

Vikra was having too much fun and refused to feel down due to Isidorus' sarcastic reply. "In that case let us meet in the battlefield. Why have you come here to waste your time? Go away," he hissed.

"I am warning you Vikra, if anything happens to Adrianna, we will ally with the humans and bring your downfall," said Isidorus. 

Vikra waved his hand and said, "Isidorus, you should know me better than that. I won't kill Adrianna for now…"

Mihr grunted at his statement. How dare he said something like that about his queen. 

When Vikra heard Mihr, he said, "So this dog is with you? Mihr, you worked well when you were with me. I miss your presence but don't worry there were others who helped me." 

This revelation was shocking! Who else was there? 

Isidorus disregarded the sentence. He knew that Vikra was trying to create hostility between Mihr and him. He put his hand up to stop Mihr from speaking anything and said, "You know me better than that Vikra. Such talk is not expected from you."

While Isidorus was talking to Vikra, two people were lurking outside under an invisibility spell to find the place where she was held captive. It was a large area to cover and they had to find her as soon as possible.
