Kuro panicked. The supre alpha was supposed to co in the evening. How co he had decided to co so early? Thank god Adrianna was at ho. He ordered all the servants to clean up the place and prepare lunch for the guest. He asked the servants to inform Adrianna about it, and then asked Kayla to help her sister.
When Kayla got her father's instructions, she took out the dress that she had worn that day when the supre alpha had last co. Deftly, she did her handiwork before taking the dress to Adrianna, who practically didn't have anything to wear other than her jeans and shirt that she had co in wearing yesterday.
When Kayla entered her room, she whooshed past Adrianna, as if to tell her that this was her house instead of hers, and perched on Adrianna's bed. She threw the dress on the bed and said, "Here wear this one."
Adrianna was surprised. This was the dress she had worn on her first date with Niiya. Her lips curled upwards when she rembered how the date had been ruined because Niiya had fallen asleep. She must have left the dress here…
"Thanks," replied Adrianna. She waited for Kayla to say sothing, but she didn't. Instead, Kayla rely flicked her blonde hair to the left. Adrianna knew that Kayla was flaunting her beauty. She was at a loss for words. She eyes fell on Kayla's earlobes which were adorned by diamonds set in white gold. The shimr of those earrings were sparkling onto her neck, making it all the more attractive. Adrianna realized that she had held her gaze for too long and that was what Kayla had wanted.
"What is it that you have Adrianna?" asked Kayla. "The council head's son, the supre alpha – they all want you."
Adrianna didn't reply. She lowered her head, and sighed as she picked up the dress Kayla had thrown on the bed.
"Do you want anything else?" asked Kayla, asuring her up and down as though telling her that she needed as much help as she could get to look better.
"No… I am fine…" she replied.
Kayla took off her necklace and said, "Here wear this. You'll look better."
It was a simple necklace with blue beads. Adrianna shook her head. Irritated by Kayla's behavior she said, "Thanks Kayla, but I am fine. You can take this back."
Adrianna was in no mood to look good for a man who was forcing her into a union she detested.
Kayla shrugged and left the room as she could care less.
Adrianna went to take a shower. By the ti she finished, it was already 12PM. She put on the dress Kayla had given her, and left her hair down. Her pet had been sitting outside her room and scratching the door, urging her to let him in. When Adrianna opened the door after she had gotten dressed, he ran inside the room and snuggled at in her feet, making a comfortable motor-like hum. Adrianna laughed at him.
"I should na you," she mused. "How about Dmitri?" She laughed more at her own joke. "Done. You are Dmitri now!" Adrianna silently laughed at her wit. "Co on Dmitri, let's go get you so food."
She went outside to ask the servants to feed the cub as she headed out to the backyard, from which the forest beca deeper. To her surprise, as soon as she went out, a couple of werewolves ca out from their hiding places and glared at her. She glared back. She understood that her father wasn't taking any chances for her to escape. Shaking her head, she went back inside, headed back to her room, and laid down on her bed. Her thoughts went to Niiya and Ookashi. She wanted to know whether Keisha was doing well or not. She wondered how Ookashi must be thinking of her as a friend. She covered her face with her hands and felt miserable for not being able to help her friends in a ti of need.
It was not long before Kayla announced that the supre alpha had arrived.

When Dmitri had heard Adrianna's outburst that night, he was so furious that he had wandered around the forest like a madman the entire night. He couldn't go inside and talk to any of them because Kuro was there. He couldn't show Kuro his helplessness and his crazy attraction to his daughter or else Kuro could have taken advantage of the situation. Instead, he left mad as hell.
