Cora clenched her jaw in anger when Dmitri left them to have lunch with Adrianna. Keisha held her hand and said, "Cora, please. It's okay. Don't worry about Adrianna. She will leave after today and never come back."

​​

Cora's anger subsided a little when she heard Keisha's words. They had lunch quietly while thinking of their plans for the evening.

While having lunch, Adrianna asked Dmitri, "How big is your house?"

"It is spread over two acres…"

"Two acres!" Her fork stopped midway.

"Yes… Right now you are in the master suite. By the way, there is a separate heated pool on the rear grounds only for me. I would like to take my luna there." He spoke in a seductive way, making Adrianna blush.

"I will go there on one condition," she said.

"And what is that one condition?" he asked.

"You will walk naked from here to that pool," she answered unabashedly, trying to put him at unease.

"Done. I will carry my naked luna to the pool with me as well," he answered, gulping the red wine down his throat.

So instead of making him uncomfortable, she became embarrassed, inviting his throaty laughter.

Although she wanted to study after lunch, he didn't let her. "I want you to look fresh and beautiful in the evening, not with eye bags." His good intentions soon turned bad and he ended up ripping her clothes open in no time. Adrianna laughed and tried to jump out of bed but he had pinned her down.

"My alpha is up to no good!" she complained.

"Yes, I swear that I am up to no good with you," he replied shamelessly before sealing her lips with his.

After a steamy session, they fell asleep.

As the evening fell, Dmitri went to take a shower and get dressed for the gathering. He was wearing a black suit paired with a white shirt that made him look so handsome that angels would fight for him.

Adrianna, on the other hand, had worn her blue silk dress. She had tied her hair in a bun. but Dmitri had come and undone her bun. "Keep your hair down Adri. You look beautiful like that and I want to flaunt you," he said, adoring her every movement.

Adrianna smiled. She brushed her long black hair, applied a little lipstick, and was ready to go out with him.

When they entered the party together, almost everyone had already gathered. Arianna was walking with him, her arms curled around his. Both of them looked so gorgeous that they immediately became the center of attention.

While she was walking with Dmitri, from the corner of her eyes, she saw that Keisha was looking dazzling, standing in a gorgeous green evening gown. But what caught Adrianna's attention was that Pryce was also with her. The brightness of her face paled as soon as she saw Pryce and Keisha together. She became nervous and tightened her hold on Dmitri.

Then, she saw Kuro with her brothers and sisters, standing and talking to others. Kayla noticed her sister and raised her glass. Adrianna nodded slightly.

Dmitri led her to the center of the lawn where there were several chieftains standing. Just as he was about to introduce her to them, he heard Cora's booming voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to the future luna of my son Dmitri – Miss Keisha!"

Everyone in the room was beyond surprised. Dmitri was beyond furious. His hands clenched into a fist.

Adrianna's family was stunned at this announcement.

"Mother!" shouted Dmitri.

"Before you say anything to Cora, you should know who the person was who had called me to the forest," shouted Keisha from behind.

Dmitri frowned and looked at her questioningly, "Who did that to you?"

Adrianna cringed. She knew that something terrible was about to happen. She held Dmitri's arm tightly. "Was there no respite to her miseries?" she thought.

"Do you remember how you found me unconscious in the forest?" asked Keisha.

"Yes," replied Dmitri, removing Adrianna's hand from his.

"The person responsible for it was Adrianna!" shouted Keisha, pointing her finger at Adrianna who shrank in fear. She looked around for Ed, but he wasn't there.

"She sent a message through Pryce to meet me," accused Keisha. "You can ask Pryce. I had invited Pryce today as witness only so that this matter would be made clear, once and for all, in front of everyone."

Dmitri didn't speak a word.

"Pryce speak the truth," said Keisha.

"Yes, it was Adrianna who gave the message to me. She wanted to fight with Keisha over you Dmitri. She had been secretly planning to sabotage your relationship with Keisha. She had confessed this to me many times," said Pryce without a hint of shame. "She had even hooked Niiya with her innocent looks and when Niiya fell for her, she had ditched him. Dmitri you should be aware of her villainous nature," added Pryce.

While everyone became absolutely quiet as they watched this showdown, Kayla started laughing. She raised her glass again and said, "Way to go sister!"
