In Vikra's cave, Adrianna slept for a long time feeling at peace with the moon that was now eternally shining and soothing her. She would wake up and then look at the moon and again go back to sleep. She was tired after slaughtering the neotides and running wild after the creatures in the jungle.

Outside the cave, the day rose normally and the neotides were stationed around it in large numbers. They did not move from their positions, afraid that Vikra might become unhappy. He had ordered strict vigilation. The cave had only one entrance and that was sealed with a large boulder. However, what they did not know that there was a lot of magic in the entrance running across it in a criss cross way. It was so complicated that not even a dust particle could enter inside.

​​

When Adrianna woke up next, she was hungry. She wanted to eat food and so she growled loudly. Even though the walls of the cave were very thick, the neotides could hear her outside. It was a blood-curdling growl. They were very scared of the creature inside the cave and hoped that it never came out.

Meanwhile, Vikra was forming a strategy on how to use Adrianna and her powers. One of the ways was to suck her soul, which would not only give him the body with flesh, but it would also give him a lot of power. The other way was to use her power to conquer the world in a way that she would remain like that beast and then he would use her alongside to conquer the world. He was tempted to suck her soul, but then he thought that it would be an end to a powerful girl like Adrianna. And if he used her and her powers alongside his that would mean that she could be used for eternity. Also two brains were better than one. After all Adrianna was his lineage.

He spent the next day in dilemma. In the night the messenger came and informed him that the Werewolf Realm and Wizard Kingdom are planning to wage a war against him. He was expecting that but he wasn't bothered because if nothing worked, he would simply kill Adrianna after sucking her soul.

One of the Generals in his army came to inform that they were hearing loud growls from inside the cave. Perhaps the werewolf was hungry.

Vikra smiled and snapped his fingers. Inside the cave, a large amount of meat appeared out of nowhere. Even though Adrianna was surprised but she feasted on it and once again she went off to sleep.

Dmitri had gone back to the Werewolf Realm and informed Cora about Adrianna's capture. Cora was shocked, "You have to get her back, Dmitri!" she lashed at him. "I want Adrianna back, no matter what!" She became scared. Her son was facing the same fate as her. How could this be possible that Vikra would kill her husband as well her daughter-in-law? She had been staying without her mate for so long only because she had Dmitri with her, but what about Dmitri? He would be devastated. Moreover Adrianna was pregnant. Cora shuddered when she thought about Adrianna's pregnancy.

She looked at Dmitri who was looking as if he had his life sucked out of him. He looked helpless and dejected. "Mother, help me," was all he managed to say after some time.

Without another word, she called Nate and Liam. A small meeting was arranged with all the chiefs and the news was spread in the entire Werewolf Realm that Adrianna had been captured. All the armies of the each and every little pack became ready to attack the neotides.

At the same time in the Wizard Kingdom, Isidorus and Mihr were forming a strategy to attack Vikra's territory.

The main problem according to that was extracting Adrianna safely out of that place.

"There is one thing I am unable to understand Isidorus," said Mihr. "Adrianna is such a powerful witch. Why can't she use her magic to come out of that place? If she wants she can even destroy it completely." Mihr was actually confused.

How could Isidorus say that Adrianna must be still in her beastly form otherwise she would have already used her magic? "Mihr, I don't know anything, but these are the instructions from the King and so we have to do exactly what he wants us to do."

That statement put a full stop to any doubts in the minds of those present over there. If the King has demanded, there was no way anyone would go against it.

"Okay, so what is your strategy?" asked Mihr.

As Isidorus was explaining his strategy to Mihr, Ziu said, "The two of you should go to save Adrianna while I think I should stay back in Wizard Kingdom to see if there are no more attacks from outside. This could also be a trick of Vikra."

Isidorus looked at him with confusion, "What trick?" he asked.

"Well, maybe he doesn't have Adrianna in his captivity and she is dead. He is just creating an impression that she is there with him so that we go and attack him. When all of us would leave this place, he would seize the opportunity and attack the Kingdom. So there should be one person to manage this place also," replied Ziu trying to give logic.

Mihr narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Okay, you stay here…"

The rest of them continued with the plan.

The news also travelled to the Human Realm where Niiya heard it. He became red with fury. He wanted to use all his manpower and bomb the place but that was against the treaty. So all he did was to get only snipers and some bombers to spearhead the attack. He wanted to make maximum impact with the least. When he was just about to leave after forming a small army, his father stopped him, "This would be a gross violation of treaty. You cannot go."

"But father, Adrianna is captured by Vikra!" he retorted.
