Adrianna smiled when she sensed the man behind her. He took the glass from her and mentally communicated, "Pregnant women shouldn't drink." With his right hand wrapped around her, he raised the glass for her with his left hand in response to the toast that Niiya had given.

"Thank you," he said to everyone, Niiya in particular. Then he sipped wine from the glass and looked at his wife who looked up at him. He sealed her lips and passed some wine to her, which she gulped immediately.

​​

Everyone around them started clapping and giggling at this public display of affection. When Dmitri left her, she was panting for breath and her face was red.

As their eyes met, he whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too."

A smile came on their lips and both of them started looking at those in front.

Niiya was a little taken aback but then he just bowed and left. He knew that he had to get used to this and he also knew that Dmitri did that on purpose only to show that he was an outsider in their relationship, something from the past but it was getting difficult for him. He could never understand why was he so much in love with a woman who would never be his. Seeing how his sister acted after getting married to a werewolf with her mark and all, he could well imagine what it would be to be a werewolf. Dmitri's marking her meant they were soul mates for life.

He seriously wanted to move on with life and after what he saw tonight, he thought of going overseas and take up Masters in Chemistry. He had to do something to divert his mind.

Ziu was standing near Niiya and when he noticed that Niiya was walking away after the kiss, he also went away with him. He was disappointed that his plans failed so miserably. However, he wouldn't give up. He went and stood by his side and said, "Would you like another glass of wine?"

Niiya's mood was spoiled, so he gulped his wine in one large swig and said, "Yes!"

Ziu went to fetch another glass and by the time he was back, he saw that Niiya was being flanked by several witches, trying to ask him out. Niiya was laughing with all of them, at their jokes. His mind seemed to have diverted. It was at this time that Ziu entered his cell and came to know that he was planning to go overseas. No, that wasn't an option. Not till he was there and wanted the crown. "Niiya, you have to realize the importance of your presence in the Human Realm," thought Ziu.

Adrianna and Dmitri were now sitting holding hands. "So, you decided to come?" she teased him. What she meant was that he couldn't stay without her.

"How could I leave my wife alone and that too when her former lover was here? Do you think I am such a fool?" he sipped his wine and said.

When Dmitri was in the Werewolf Realm and talking to Nate, he realized what a stupid thing he did to fight with Adrianna and leave her alone. Niiya was already there and if he would find her alone, he would definitely try to flirt with her. That thought was unbearable. Plus what Nate said made so much sense. Staying away from her after a fight was simply difficult. He had gone to meet his parents after he left Nate.

Pierre was simply horrified when she saw that he was alone there without Adrianna. He had specifically asked him to stay with her. "What is it that brings you here?" he scolded him. "I asked you to stay with Adrianna. Don't you realize that she is pregnant and needs your support?"

Cora joined in. "Yes Dmitri, you shouldn't worry about things here. There are very minor problems nowadays, thanks to Adrianna for getting rid of Vikra and your father is handling them very well. In fact, your father loves that he is able to handle things nicely all over again. He admires that you have so painstakingly united all the packs and is now their Supreme Alpha."

Dmitri took a deep breath as he smiled to show his gratitude.

Pierre continued, "Go back to Adrianna and come only when she also wants to come here. As such I was thinking of calling all the Chiefs for a grand celebration because we have defeated Vikra, so I will let you know when that is scheduled. Till then stay with Adri."

"Okay father," said Dmitri. He got his answers and he couldn't wait to be with Adrianna. Fleur created a portal for him and as he walked through the portal, his clothes were that of what he had to wear for the party. So when he stepped out, he was fully dressed as the King. He chuckled as he looked at Fleur. Privileges of being a witch and privileges of being a part of their world.

She bowed and said, "You are welcome."

Adrianna laughed at her husband. "You know that there is nothing from my side, then why do you even torture yourself with these ideas?" she asked. "There can be no one other than you, okay?" she said as she kept a hand on his cheek.

"Hmm…" he replied affectionately.

For the entire evening everyone else present in the party could see how close the King and Queen were and it really boosted their confidence. It was important for the citizens to see that their rulers were standing for each other and there were no conspiracies going on.

"Let us go home," said Dmitri after gulping the wine.

"Okay," she replied because even she didn't like parties. She loved her time just being with her family. Her needs were still so small as they were when she was a teenager who was not bothered about the world around her.

But Isidorus glared at the two of them when they thought of leaving. He came in front of them instantly and stopped them. "Stay until dinner," he commanded.

They pouted like two kids who were caught in the act of fleeing and were being reprimanded by their father.

A few minutes later a ministry member came and said, "My Queen, I wanted to discuss something with you."
