Fleur was shocked with the way Liam was behaving, but she couldn't deny the fact that there was a loophole in the security. How could she have not received any information about the attack on Adrianna? Usually her informants would always give her the necessary information beforehand. She had her own network of spies spread across the three realms and she was always being constantly updated. All those in her team were specialized warriors and it wasn't easy to break their protection.

She asked for the servants to attend to Adrianna and left, ignoring Liam's rage, to find those who were behind the attack. She also had to answer Isidorus as the leaf in her hand had started burning.

​​

Adrianna's forehead was bleeding profusely. Anything the servants did was not helping and the blood wouldn't stop. The healer of the wizard kingdom was called in, but even he couldn't help.

Finally, Liam asked one of the servants to create a portal. He left and came back within five minutes with the healer. Dmitri followed them, feeling agitated and perturbed. The healer had brought medicines and the first thing he did was to clean the wound with cotton that was soaked in a green liquid. He then applied a paste made from a mixture of herbs over the wound. The bleeding immediately stopped.

The healer of the wizard kingdom understood that Adrianna was half wolf after all, and so it was probably because the medicines of the wizard world were not suitable for her that they didn't have any effect. The wizard kingdom's healer took his leave after taking a sample of medicine from the healer of the werewolves in order to replicate the mixture.

The bleeding stopped and Adrianna felt better. The servants left the room with Liam following them soon after. Dmitri picked Adrianna up, carried her to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed.

"How are you feeling Adri…? It must have been a frightening experience..." asked Dmitri, getting choked just thinking about what could have happened. He was more and more untrusting of the wizards and witches when it came to Adrianna's protection. He thought of deploying more of his people.

"Better, darling," she answered, looking at him with a smile. "Deploying more werewolves would only bring more trouble for those who you deploy. They wouldn't know how to deal with spells."

Dmitri didn't ask her any more questions and simply laid down beside her. He knew that the wound would heal by the morning. He wrapped her in his arms and asked, "Who do you think is responsible for this?"

"I have an idea, but I am not certain. I will wait for Fleur's information."

"Hmm… tell me what happened today…" he asked tenderly.

Adrianna narrated the incidents at the academy. Dmitri listened to them patiently and said, "I don't think those students would be stupid enough to attack the royal convoy. This has deeper roots."

"Yes…"

They talked about it for some time until it was time for dinner. They didn't have to go anywhere for dinner as it was served to them in the bedroom.

It had been two hours since the incident and Fleur still hadn't been able to return with anymore information.

Dmitri tried to mentally communicate with Liam, but he couldn't reach Liam. Dmitri decided to spend the night with Adrianna even though he had pressing matters back in the werewolf kingdom.

After dinner, Adrianna rested as Dmitri waited impatiently to connect with Liam. Finally, after a while of no response, Dmitri went to sleep next to Adrianna and the flower canopy surrounded them with pink and white flowers. The red flowers didn't bloom this time…

When Adrianna woke up the next day, she found that Dmitri was still sleeping beside her. She smiled and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom and saw that her wound had completely healed. After taking a shower, she went to wake up Dmitri. He looked up at her as he rubbed his eyes. He sat up and the first thing he did was pull her onto his lap and remove her hair from her forehead to see the wound. It wasn't there. He kissed her forehead where the wound used to be and held her tightly.

"Adri… take care of yourself. I will be going out for three days. There is a rebellion and the Lake Moon territory is being attacked by two factions at the same time. The chief has called for my help." He hid the fact that one of the enemy packs was that of her father Kuro. Kuro had allied with the Yellow Tree Pack and was even heading the rebellion.

Adrianna read his mind and stroked his cheeks. "Don't worry darling. Even if it is my father, I won't stop you from protecting your people." She paused as he leaned into her hands. Then she asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

He shook his head. "I can manage darling…"

"I am going to the dining hall to have breakfast. Join me before leaving."

He nodded and she left.

When she reached the main hall, she found Fleur waiting for her.

"Adrianna, you can't go to the academy today," she said.
