Feral Confessions – Adrianna And The Alpha

Kuro had told Ed that the supreme alpha was coming for Adrianna within the next two days. Because Ed had been furious with Kuro and had refused to listen, Kuro decided to pay a visit to the cottage.

Adrianna was very upset. When she got home, she saw that Ed was standing on the portico with one hand leaning on the rails and the other in his pocket.​​

"Adri, we need to talk," he said gravely.

"What is it Grandfather?" she asked, removing her bag from her shoulders and walking inside.

"When will your exams finish?" asked Ed, following her inside. He had to warm her up for the upcoming conversation.

"In a week's time," she replied drily.

"You look upset. Care to tell me the reason?" he inquired trying to make her feel comfortable.

But how could Adrianna even tell him about what had happened? It was the daftest moment of her life. Why did she even go to meet Keisha? All of that could have been avoided if she hadn't gone. Why did she react on an impulse?

"Nothing Grandfather… Just the regular college stuff…." she said, shaking her head. "Let's practice magic today," she added, looking at him with urgency in her eyes.

She had never been as eager to learn magic as she was today, and this caught Ed's attention. He had to deal with it gently in order not to offend her.

"I am not well today. Can we do that tomorrow?" he asked.

"Oh! Ok, Grandfather. What happened?" She became concerned.

"Ah nothing… Just a slight headache…" he lied.

Adrianna went to her room and took a shower. When she came out, she found Ed knocking at her door. She opened it to find Ed holding two cups of coffee. She really needed that coffee. She smiled, took the cup from him, and together they went to the living room to watch TV.

While Adrianna was surfing through channels, looking visibly relaxed, Ed said, "Adri, your father is coming here tonight."

Adrianna stiffened. Her father was the last person she wanted to see. Even though it had been a week, she was not letting the memory fade. She didn't look at Ed.

"A very important development has taken place," he continued, in hopes that she would listen to him.

"Grandfather, please don't talk about them. They are not my family anymore. I just want to live peacefully now," she said with pained emotions.

"Adri, listen to me. If Kuro is coming here, it means that he has something important. And my guess is that it has to do with you," he said gently so that she wouldn't feel offended.

Adrianna placed the cup on the table, got up, and shouted, "I will not meet him!" She left the room in anger.

Ed could only sigh. He called her from behind, "Adrianna finish your coffee."

Adrianna came back, picked up her cup, and stormed back into her room. She sat down to study, but it was difficult to concentrate. The incidents kept running in her mind.

How dare he even show his face here? What does he want from me? All he had given her was bitterness. What father in the world would feed his daughter to a maniac?

She started swiftly turning the pages of her book without even looking at the content. She sipped her coffee and went to her cupboard to fetch some butter cookies. Slowly, her anger settled and she started properly reading her notes.

It was not long before she heard voices coming from the living room. Kuro had come and was talking with Ed. She checked her watch and saw that it was already 8PM. She clenched her jaw and closed her books. Getting up from her desk slowly, she packed her bag for college for the next day while listening in on their conversation.

"Ed, you must ask her to come to the pack the day after. I am worried that the supreme alpha is going to create havoc if his demands are not met with. I have heard that he has been very merciless," pleaded Kuro.

"Kuro, I haven't seen a person as shallow as you are. Adrianna has suffered a lot and she refuses to even talk to you," replied Ed.

"She doesn't have to talk to me. But I am truly concerned about my people," he replied. Kuro knew that he had won the war against the supreme alpha only because of Adrianna. He didn't know that the situation would escalate to this level. He had thought that after the war had ended, things would settle down for a long time. However, things had only becoame worse.

"Adrianna should think of the greater cause," he added.
