Being wolves, their recovery process was fast. It only took two days for them to heal completely. Dmitri and Adrianna were now at the peak of their health. Everyone around them was very pleased. Nate was especially happy to see his alpha alive and well.
Since he had been away for a long ti, Nate filled him in with all the information he had missed, and said that he was urgently needed back.
Dmitri had to leave Adrianna. He said, "Don't talk about this to anyone. I will co back in the evening to Ed's cottage and we will discuss things then."

Cora was boiling when she saw that Dmitri had finally returned after so many days. She wanted to talk to him about several matters, including Keisha, but he hadn't been able to give her any ti.
Dmitri had been eting with the chiefs all day and had been exhausted by the end of it. However, what he wasn't ready for was his mother's backlash.
Cora was frustrated because she was getting furious over the fact that he had been spending so much ti with Adrianna, neglecting his duties and his pack. She had found out from her inforrs as to where he had been spending his days, and it made her mad. When she was finally able to et with him over dinner, she noticed that he was avoiding her. She clenched her jaw and looked at him. Then she shouted, "Keisha."
Keisha, who had recovered a day earlier, had co to et Dmitri. Instead of Dmitri, she only found Cora in the house. Feeling dejected, she talked to Cora about general stuff. Cora had always been fond of Keisha and so she had invited her over for dinner the next day.
To Dmitri's surprise, Keisha ca running out of Cora's room when she heard Cora call for her. Keisha ca over to Dmitri and the first thing she did was hug Dmitri. Dmitri narrowed his eyes at Cora.
Cora looked at Keisha and said, "How are you feeling today Keisha?"
"I am fine," she replied with a huge smile while sitting down next to Dmitri to have dinner. She took his hand in hers and squeezed it.
Dmitri removed his hand from hers. It just didn't feel right. He started having his dinner. Suddenly, he found Keisha's feet on his leg beneath the table. He had to remove her feet from there sohow. In order to divert her attention, he asked her, "Are you still taking the dicines that the healer gave you?"
"Yes I am Dmitri. Thanks for asking. You are so good to Dmitri. You always take care of and ask about my well being. You and Cora are the only family I have," she said getting emotional.
Dmitri nodded. He wanted to know how much she rembered so he asked, "So do you rember anything? What happened to you that day?"
She shook her head and said, "All I rember is that I went in the forest because Adrianna had called there…" she paused and took a piece out of the lamb chop in front of her. She then continued to say, "But I don't know why she called out to the woods… She could have just talked to about it on campus…"
Dmitri stayed silent. He had found Adrianna patting her face that day, trying to wake Keisha up.
Cora picked from there. "Why would Adrianna call her out to the woods, Dmitri? You must find out. Did she try to harm Keisha? Why was Keisha found in that situation? I want to know all the details!"
"Cora, don't worry. I am sure it was nothing. It is possible that Adrianna just wanted to show sothing in the forest," said Keisha, putting on an innocent face.
"Well I don't believe her intentions Keisha!" said Cora, accusing Adrianna of doing wrong without any proof.
"I am not worried Cora. See, I am fine now," said Keisha with a smile.
Cora smiled back at Keisha. She thought about how nice this girl was compared to Adrianna, about whom she had heard only negative stuff.
Then she announced at the table, "Dmitri, I want you to marry Keisha. She is the best match for you. As for Adrianna, we can arrange a eting with various chiefs for her. She can marry anyone she chooses."
Keisha started giggling. She looked at Dmitri affectionately. "Dmitri, I think it is best that we marry. Cora loves even more than you," she said, turning her gaze to Cora. She put her hand on his thighs and squeezed it.
Dmitri clenched his jaw in anger. He contained his anger and said aloud, "Tomorrow evening, I will be calling all the chieftains for a large gathering. Mother, please make sure that all the arrangents for their stay and food is taken care of nicely. There will be over eighty chieftains and so will even co with their wives."
Cora was surprised at this new developnt. "Why are you calling them all of a sudden?"
Dmitri didn't reply. He just got up from the table and walked to his room.
