The only way Ed could get out of the wizards' land was through the vortex. When he woke up the next day, he asked Howard to teleport him back to his cottage.

"Howard, I want to go and see Adrianna. Yesterday, she had a huge celebration and I wasn't there. I want to spend time with her. I would like to go back," said Ed, getting slightly annoyed at Howard for not telling him anything about Isidore.

​​

Howard understood his friend's predicament, but he had to wait for Isidoros's permission to take Ed out of the city. Now Howard had been ordered by Isidoros to head the team that would keep a watch on Adrianna, Ed, and Cy. Without letting Ed know, he had to form a team and he was waiting for Isidores to call him in for a meeting.

"Ed, why don't you take a look around the wizards' land? I am sure you will find a lot of interesting things here," replied Howard in order to divert his attention. Then, he turned to his son and said, "Take your uncle to see the waterfall that defies gravity."

Although Ed became interested and wanted to see that phenomenon, he was more eager to get out of the city. "Howard, when will you teleport me back?"

"Not until Isidoros gives me the green flag," Howard straightforwardly answered.

Ed exhaled a breath of hot air and nodded.

It was not long before the afternoon that the two of them went back to the wolves' territory. As soon as they left, a group of ten wizards followed them.

Adrianna woke up late in the morning. When she woke up, she saw that Dmitri had already woken up and was leaning on the headboard, stroking and playing with her hair. She smiled and sat up only to be pushed back onto the mattress beneath Dmitri. "Get off of me," she said while caressing his cheeks.

"No…" he replied, further pressing against her.

"I will just have to throw you off me then," said Adrianna with a chuckle.

"Oh really? Try it Adri!"

"Don't feel fad if you get hurt!"

"Try it Adri."

With one swift move, Adrianna pushed him. If he were a human, he would have crashed into the window and landed outside. But Dmitri didn't move an inch. He teased her, "Well?..."

Adrinna was surprised at his power. She grinned and he relaxed seeing her beautiful smile. However, in the next moment he was thrown out of the bed and landed near the periphery of the bed. Shocked, Dmitri looked at Adrianna who was now laughing. She shrugged, giving him a smug look. Then, she flipped back her hair and removed the blanket to get up while saying, "You lowered your defense."

Not accepting defeat, Dmitri pounced back on her, again pinning her onto the mattress. Adrianna couldn't help but laugh. "I have to shower," she said.

"I have to make love," he replied, biting her cheek.

"I have to discuss the terms and conditions of our marriage," she said seriously.

"What terms and conditions? You should be happy that I am marrying you," he replied, biting her other cheek.

"Ah! But I am not happy," she teased him.

"You get to discuss the terms only after you have satisfied your alpha. I will have to see how your performance in bed is." He didn't take the bait.

"I refuse!" She tried to push him away, but he had roughly pinned down her hands and legs.

"Fine, then stay like this the whole day."

Adrianna fluttered her eyelashes and said, "Dmitri it will take a second for me to throw you again. Do you want to go through that all over again?"

"Oh baby, try it!" This was a challenge.

And in the next second, he was sent flying out of the bed all over again. He crashed near the table, shaking the table and amongst other things a glass lamp fell on his head as the table moved.

Adrianna panicked and ran to him. She removed the glass pieces off of his head. Although there was no injury, Dmitri looked furious. He narrowed his eyes, making Adrianna feel guilty. However, in the next moment, Adrianna was grabbed, pulled onto his lap, and her lips were fiercely slammed against by his, knocking the wind out of her chest. Before she could react, he had pressed his tongue against the seam of her lips and had forced them open in order to explore her mouth. Adrianna wanted to push herself away, but she couldn't. She could no longer resist him. She knew it was futile to resist him because her wolf wouldn't let her.

When it was over, Dmitri looked at her red face and took her off of his lap. She was gasping for breath as her adrenaline kicked in, but he simply got up and left to take a shower. She saw how cold he went immediately after kissing her. What was that?

As if he had heard her, he peeped from the bathroom door and said, "My revenge!"
