Once Mihr taught her those two spells, he stopped, as he understood that Adrianna was very tired for the day. He could see that if that had been Nefasky, she would have left midway getting angry on her father.

"Adrianna, I know this is really taxing but if you can spare more time tomorrow, I can finish teaching them in two days. With the way you are picking, it will be easy for you."

​​

Adrianna smiled and said "Thank you Mihr."

Mihr left for the day.

When Adrianna went inside, she saw Dmitri waiting for her at the dinner table. He had asked the cooks to prepare a healthy meal for his wife that consisted of food that provided mental wellbeing. Adrianna smiled at him and sat down to have her dinner. She was very tired and after having dinner, she slept like a baby.

Next day after Adrianna had left for the academy, Dmitri went to the werewolf realm. Liam had reported that there was a throng of girls who claimed that they were the little girls that he had been looking for and they had come along with their grandfathers called Ed. Dmitri was shocked when he heard that.

When he went to the Blue Moon Pack territory, the guards immediately surrounded their alpha to protect him from all the girls that were waiting for his arrival. Dmitri eyes became like a soccer field when he saw the sheer number of girls over there. There must have been over hundred from various packs across the werewolf kingdom.

Dmitri ran inside the mansion where Liam was waiting for him. "How did you manage to get so many of them?"

"Dmitri, I was getting fed up of going around secretly finding that girl, so I just asked my men to spread the news regarding this. All the girls that fit the description are here!" he replied holding both his hands up. Liam had actually given up on this quest now. During one of the travel to find that girl, he became so angry that he decided to announce it.

Dmitri couldn't say anything except gritting his teeth. "Where is Nate?" he asked.

"They are on their pre-wedding honeymoon!" he replied.

"What is pre-wedding honeymoon?" asked Dmitri with a gesture of a question.

"It is something you would never know!" replied Liam with exasperation. "Now sift through these. I am going!"

"Wait, you can't leave me like this. Since you are the one who has called them, you should be sifting them!" shouted Dmitri clearly looking confused.

Listening to all the chaos outside, Cora came out. She looked at the two of them and then went outside. She was in for a shock. Even though she appeared frail, she could walk around the house. After Keisha's news, she had felt terrible and reflected on the past. Everyday she thought about her, it only added to her hatred towards her. Dmitri had distanced himself from her because he wanted to give her alone time. As for Adrianna, how could she expect any support? She had been mean with her along with Keisha.

"What is happening here?" she asked softly to a servant.

The servant explained that those girls had come on Liam's invitation since Dmitri was finding the girl his father had promised to marry him with when he was very young.

Cora was shocked. How did Dmitri come to know about all that? She had read her husband's diaries, and was baffled by this secret. He had never shown her those diaries and she discovered them in a cupboard, by chance in their old home. She read them much later when Dmitri had become the alpha. After he had disappeared, she had kept his things very carefully in the attic upstairs. Had Dmitri found out about it?

She looked at Dmitri with question in her eyes. Dmitri pursed his lips. "Sorry mother, I was just curious. I want to know who that girl is so that I may compensate her nicely and honor my father's wish."

Cora smiled at him and started laughing. He was a little boy in so many ways. "That's very nice of you Dmitri but how will you judge who is she amongst so many here?"

"Well, their grandfather's name has to be Ed and they should be no more than nineteen or twenty," he replied with a shrug.

"But that description will hold more than a hundred. Today you are seeing these many, tomorrow you would see another hundred. You have to be extremely specific," said Cora. "Who gave you this stupid idea of announcing it?"

Liam didn't know where to look as Dmitri glared at him. Cora laughed again.

"Okay, let me help you with it!" replied Cora. She looked excited and Dmitri found her looking eager for the first time in many days.

"Be my guest," he replied with a smile.

In the next few hours what Cora faced was something that she could never forget in her life.
