Adrianna narrowed her eyes at Keisha and softly started stroking Dmitri's back with her fingers after she served him.

"Dmitri, you need to eat," she said sweetly with a honeyed voice. Dmitri dug his fork into the dish and started eating.

​​

In order to make Keisha even more envious, Adrianna lightly kissed his shoulder. Dmitri looked at her, smiled, grabbed her face and kissed her on her lips, almost biting them. "Ah!" she winced. Dmitri looked at her seductively and then resumed eating. He mentally communicated to her, "So jealous!"

"I am not!" she replied, turning red.

But Dmitri didn't pay heed to her. He simply continued eating.

Keisha, on the other hand, started coughing and Cora patted her back. Keisha had been so happy recently with Adrianna gone; she would be able to ogle at Dmitri and also talk with him, but she had never anticipated that Adrianna would follow him back to the werewolves' territory the next day. Keisha lowered her head and started having her dinner.

While she was eating, Adrianna asked, "When will Keisha's house be ready?"

Dmitri mentally communicated, "I am planning to let her stay here."

"What?" Adrianna started coughing.

"Well... since you are okay with her and not jealous at all…"

"You better get it ready as soon as possible," Adrianna blurted out loud. Everyone looked at her. Dmitri's expressions were strange.

"Okay," he said quietly.

Both Keisha and Cora tensed up. Neither spoke a word after that and quietly finished their dinner.

When Adrianna reached the bedroom, instead of getting ready to sleep, she started getting dressed up.

"Will you go be going to seek for your wand tonight?" asked Dmitri.

"Yes… this is the only time I am going to get because the entire day I am at the academy…" she replied as she placed a small knife in her pocket.

"Why are you carrying that knife?" he asked amused.

"Dmitri, duh? Why are you asking me that lame question? A wand is made from wood and obviously I would need to chisel it into shape when I find mine. Haven't you see the wands of other wizards and witches?" she said, shaking her head.

"I thought that you would just pick up a twig from the forest and come back," he replied. "After all, those wands are nothing but twigs."

"Even if it is a twig, I will have to craft it into some shape," she said as she started leaving.

"I won't let you go alone at this time of the hour," he stopped her.

"Don't worry. Fleur and others in her team are going to be with me," she said as she summoned Fleur.

There was a knock on the balcony door and Adrianna opened it to see Fleur was standing outside. "Let's go to find that wand," said Adrianna and started to leave.

Fleur didn't follow her. Adrianna turned to look back at her with confusion written on her face.

"I am sorry my queen, but the wand needs to be found alone. No witch nor wizard can accompany you on your quest to find your wand," said Fleur with her face scrunched up with tension.

Adrianna was puzzled. "Why is that?"

"The energy that a new wand generates is so huge that it can break all other wands in its vicinity. That is why we will even leave small children alone to find their own wands in the forest."

"That is strange! How would I know where to find the wand? The more you talk about finding it, the more mysterious it becomes. I don't know what to do."

"Don't worry my queen. Once you will step into the jungle, your destined path will shine brilliantly and lead you to your wand. Remember that since the path will shine brilliantly, you will be vulnerable to enemy attacks because they will know that a witch or wizard is in the forest to find his or her wand."

The contents of Fleur's words confused Adrianna. Dmitri came out onto the balcony upon sensing Adrianna's confusion. When Fleur saw him with only his pants on, she gasped. How can someone be so handsome? She lowered her head immediately so that Adrianna wouldn't notice the change of expression and the faint blush that flushed her face.

"If witches and wizards can't go, can werewolves go?" he asked her.

Fleur hadn't thought of that possibility. "Yes, they can go. Although I am not sure if they will be able to bear that kind of energy."

"What is the intensity of the energy that you are talking about Fleur? The more you speak about it, the more afraid I am of sending Adrianna out there alone," said Dmitri while holding onto Adrianna's waist from behind.

"When a wizard or a witch finds his or her wand, an emotional connection is made and that connection is very potent. The energy generated during this time is so intense that any life present nearby can be burnt. No one has been able to break that connection except…" Fleur lowered her head again. She didn't want to scare Adrianna.

"Except who?" asked Adrianna, giving Fleur a hard stare.

"Expect four wizards who have been considered to be the most powerful of all," she replied.
