To Fleur's utter surprise, Adrianna had successfully disguised herself. It had taken Fleur a whole week to be able to even say the spell correctly and, here, Adrianna was able to disguise herself within minutes. Fleur was baffled. Now she really had to create the portal and accompany her queen and her team to the werewolves' territory. For the past few nights, this had become the trend and she could barely sleep.

The portal was created and Adrianna went through, stepping right into her bedroom. She was so happy that she chuckled at herself when she saw herself in the mirror. Dmitri wasn't there so she thought she would wait for him. It was only 5PM in the evening and she was in no rush. In order to play a prank on her husband, she decided not to change back. She wanted to test him and tease him at the same time. She waited a bit longer, but he still hadn't returned. She became worried.

​​

Slowly, she crept out of the room so that no one would notice her and went downstairs. When the servants saw her, they thought that she was a village girl who had snuck inside the palace so they took her out through the main entrance and asked the guards to throw her out.

The guards showed no sympathy."How did you enter the palace? Don't show your face again or we will kill you!" they shouted at her.

Adrianna felt like slapping them, but she kept her cool. She didn't realize that her prank would go this far. As soon as she was thrown out, Fleur appeared next to her. She was angry on behalf of her queen. "My dear queen, do you want me to teach those guards a lesson?"

"No!" she chided Fleur. "Just disguise yourself. We are going to find Dmitri."

"What? No! I will create a portal and you should just go back to the bedroom! It is too dangerous outside of the palace," Fleur pleaded. Adrianna walked past Fleur while signaling for her to follow. Fleur also disguised herself as a village belle and the rest of her team also followed their queen under the cloak of invisibility.

Adrianna walked to the local market which was busy as usual. She looked around at the shops which had various eye-catching objects for girls. She entered one that was selling dream catchers and pretty accessories. While browsing through the shop, she noticed Nate who was buying something. Adrianna hadn't seen Nate for a long time. Her eyes glinted upon seeing him and she moved closer to him, but as she neared them, she noticed that Dmitri was standing next to Nate. The two store girls were so happy that they were jumping with joy. "We are so happy that the alpha has come to our shop. What would you like chief?" asked one of them whilst clasping her hands in excitement.

Dmitri didn't look at her and instead, picked up a beautiful clip that had rubies on it and was in the form of a phoenix.

"Oh that is a good choice!" the girl said as she tried to take it from his hand in order to put it on her hair and show off how it looked. Dmitri glared at her and she became quiet. Then, Dmitri looked at the two peasant girls who had entered the shop. He signaled for them to come closer. He gave the clip to Fleur and said, "Put it on your hair. I would like to see how it looks."

Fleur gulped. She was sure to become mincemeat between the husband and wife. "Err… Sir, this is Ad-" Before she could complete her sentence, Adrianna caught her hand and, with a pursed smile, she said, "Please, you must put this clip on your hair. Our alpha wants that."

"Why me?" asked Fleur who was almost about to cry.

Dmitri handed the clip to over Fleur. Then, he said, "On second thought, let me put this clip on you."

Fleur was about to faint. "Spare me you moron! Your wife is standing right here! She will kill either you or me! And there are high chances that it'll be me!" she thought. However, Dmitri had already moved closer to her.

Adrianna was burning with fury. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She was glaring at the two of them as Nate stood on the side and watched the scene. He looked at Dmitri and said, "If your wife comes to know that you touched another woman, she might kill you."

Dmitri chuckled. "If she comes to know." He emphasized the 'if'. "You wouldn't tell her, would you?" he enquired.

Nate put his hands up in the air. "I am not an idiot Dmitri. My lips are sealed." He laughed as he looked at Fleur.

"Who are you buying that clip for?" asked Dmitri, stopping in his tracks, much to Fleur's relief.

"For Ookashi… It has been a few days since I have met her. I am planning to meet her tomorrow," said Nate while caressing the clip he had bought for Ookashi.

"Will she even meet you Nate? From what I heard, they detest all of us," asked Dmitri, becoming concerned for Nate.

When Adrianna heard Ookashi's name, her face became tender. She longed to see her friends…

Her reverie was soon broken.

"An alpha can have as many girls as he wants. Most other chiefs have harems, so why can't our alpha have one," the store girl scolded Nate as she fluttered her lashes at Dmitri.

Adrianna noticed from the corner of her eye that the store girl was gawking at Dmitri's taut neck muscles. Her jealousy level went up a notch.

Dmitri, in the meanwhile, had moved a little closer to Fleur and was about to put the clip on her when Adrianna pushed Fleur away with so much force that Fleur fell on some items with a loud thud. Fleur was only too happy to be thrown away from there.

Dmitri caught Adrianna, lifted her up, and hauled her onto his shoulders. "Put me down," she shouted. "How can you do that? You have a wife!"

Dmitri carried her outside the store, spanked her hard and said, "Adrianna, you can't hide from me! Remember, I have marked you!"

By that time, a portal had been created, through which they entered their bedroom.
