Adrianna was stunned when she was dragged away. She didn't even have the chance to look at the person who had grabbed her hand. When she finally looked up, she noticed that it was Niiya who was dragging her out.

"Niiya, stop dragging me,

" she said behind him but he wouldn't stop. Finally, he took her to a secluded area and pinned her to a wall. She tried to escape, but he had blocked her way with both his arms.

He stared at her and said,

"Why did you marry Dmitri?

"

Adrianna looked at him and said,

"Because I was supposed to marry him at that time. There was no other option.

"

"Did he force you to marry him?

" he asked.

Adrianna didn't answer him and turned her face away.

"I said, did he force you to marry him?

" Niiya asked again, getting furious.

How could Adrianna say that she indeed had been forced at that time? How could she say that Dmitri had forced her to trade his freedom with her hand in marriage? How could she explain that Dmitri had imprinted on her? How could she say that she had irrevocably fallen in love with Dmitri?

"Answer me!

" roared Niiya as he punched the wall beside her.

Suddenly, she saw Pryce coming in. She took a quick glance at Pryce and quietly said,

"Niiya, Pryce is here. Let me go or she will misunderstand.

"

"There is nothing wrong with what I am doing, so let her think whatever she wants to think.

"Answer me now!

" he roared, his eyes turning red with anger.

"There is only one answer,

" she said.

"What?

"

"Adrianna loves me,

" someone growled from behind.

"Leave her alone, or I will not have mercy on you, regardless of who you are!

"

They both turned to see that Dmitri was standing right behind Pryce.

"Has this moron been forcing you everyday?

" asked Niiya, looking angrily at Dmitri.

"No, it isn't what you think Niiya,

" answered Adrianna.

"Let me go. Please.

"

"I won't let you go Adri! All these days, it was torture to be without you. So now that you have returned, I am not going to let you go,

" he replied as he stood in front of her, blocking her from Dmitri's view. He looked at Dmitri fiercely as though inviting him to a duel.

Adrianna closed her eyes. What was Niiya thinking? Confronting Dmitri was an invitation to his own death. She had to diffuse the situation.

"Niiya, stop it!

" she shouted. She pushed him a little and moved to stand with Dmitri who was now burning with jealousy and ready for the kill. She circled her hands around his waist.

"Please calm down Dmitri…

" she communicated to him mentally. If a werewolf was angry, he could lose control in an instant.

Dmitri calmed down a bit as Niiya watched the two of them. Pryce, who was standing there, ran over to Niiya and held his hand. Niiya shirked her off.

"Stay away from me!

" he snarled.

Adrianna turned to look at Niiya and then said,

"I love Dmitri, and that is why we married.

"

"Wrong! You are lying!

" he shouted back.

"No, it would be a lie if I said that I had ever loved you. Dmitri is my soulmate.

"

Niiya stumbled back. He had tried to remain away from her. He had been so bitter at one point of time that he had promised to destroy the life of every girl that tried to get in his pants. He regretted not wooing Adrianna back. She had just disappeared from college. He had gone to her cottage so many times, but had been surprised to see that it had been completely destroyed. He spent his time exercising, running, kickboxing, and everything humanly possible to release his pent up energy. Every day just became a long wait for her… he had longed to see her…

When he saw her today, his immediate thought was to snatch her back. However, Dmitri had come back with her. When she declared that she loved Dmitri and that Dmitri was her soulmate, the last thread of his patience for her broke. Dmitri had become his sworn enemy for life.

Niiya laughed like a mad man.

"Adri, you cannot imagine how much I waited for you.

"

Adrianna lowered her head.

"Niiya, when will you understand that I had never loved you?

"

"No Adri, you never gave us a chance,

" he said before turning around and leaving.

Pryce ran after him but he shoved her away. She fell to the side. She got up and walked up to Adrianna.

"He had been doing so well without you. Why did you come back? You are such a bitch for seducing everybody around you. Isn't Dmitri enough for you? Now you have to come back and claim Niiya?

"

Adrianna was extremely irritated by all of the accusations that were thrown at her every time she met Pryce. In an instant of fury, Adrianna raised her hand and slapped Pryce. Pryce held her cheek as she felt blood trickling down her lips. Furious, she raised her hand to hit Adrianna back, but Dmitri caught Pryce's hand and slowly shook his head to warn her.

Adrianna glared at her and said,

"This is the last time I am going to tell you. Don't accuse me of things that never happened, and never cross my path again.

"
