Chapter 69 - Practice the Magic (1/2)

Together, they all went inside the house and announced their decision to everyone present. While Kuro heaved a sigh of relief, Ed was still paranoid. Why had Adrianna buckled under his pressure? What reason could there be for her to agree to marry him? He wasn't convinced and wanted to ask Adrianna about her decision during the first opportunity he could get. He decided to wait for all of them to go so that he could take Adrianna back to the cottage and question her. For the moment, he chose to stay quiet and just watched her from a distance.

Also, it was painful to realize that his granddaughter would soon leave him for good…

They all sat down to have lunch at a large twelve-seat dining table, which was headed by Kuro. Dmitri sat next to Adrianna and away from Kuro while Kayla, Reinjie, and Sam sat next to Kuro. Ed was next to Nate and Liam. The siblings were watching the two of them with hatred. They wanted all of this to be over with as soon as possible.

Kuro thought of negotiating some terms with Dmitri, so when the lunch was served, he said, ”I know that you are so keen on marrying Adrianna, but there are a few things I have to discuss with you before that happens.”

Dmitri took a mouthful of beef and said, ”What do you want to discuss?”

”Well, I suggest that you give us the territory of the Lake Moon Pack,” said Kuro, leaning forward with interest. He thought that Dmitri would yield in to his request.

The lake moon pack's territory was in one of the most crucial places; it was situated less than a mile away from the largest reservoir lake in the jungle, and it was under Dmitri's control.

Adrianna, who was sitting next to Dmitri, was shocked, when she heard her father. How could he even think of negotiating? Wasn't he the one who had never wanted her in the first place? And now that she was getting married to the supreme alpha, he had the audacity to negotiate? She was ashamed of her family and especially , her father. She stopped eating and looked up at him in disbelief - an action, which did not go unnoticed by Dmitri.

Dmitri looked at Kuro contemptuously, and grunted out a, ”No” before going on to serve some bread to Adrianna who wasn't eating properly. ”You must eat properly Adri. I look forward to making noodles for you,” added Dmitri seductively, making her blush faintly.

Then he looked at Kuro. Dmitri was emitting such coldness that Kuro didn't have the guts to say anything further. He just leaned back and focused on his plate of food.

After lunch was over, Dmitri had to go back even though he didn't want to. Adrianna and Ed left for the cottage with her pet following along.
