Adrianna stirred a little. Sensing that she was in his grip and remembering what he wanted to do with her, she hit him hard with whatever energy was left in her. Although he let her go, like a maniac, Rufus attacked her and threw her to the ground with force. She fainted again.
His opponent attacked him ferociously.

Rufus opened his eyes and saw that five men surrounded him. One of them was carrying a lit wooden torch. Through the light that was spreading within the darkness, he could see that they all looked as though they had been carved out to be the most handsome men on Earth. He noticed that they were all looking ferociously at him. Then he turned his gaze towards the man who had put his foot on his chest.

After the bloody fight with Rufus, Dmitri had gone inside the cave to find Adrianna hurled onto the floor. He picked her up and placed her on a flat rock that was jutting out horizontally on the side. He removed his shirt, which had blood all over it, and lay beside her. He spooned her with his arm wrapped securely around her. He smelled her neck to calm down his anxieties.
"Adrianna, sorry for being late. Come back to me," he whispered into her ears. Fatigue got a hold of him and he also drifted off to sleep with the darkness around him.

Nate had captured Rufus and had made him a prisoner in one of the caves that belonged to their pack. He went out to search for Dmitri who he feared was wounded and needed help. He went to the cave that Rufus had mentioned, not believing that Dmitri would be still there. When he got there, he couldn't find anyone. He tried to connect with Dmitri mentally, but couldn't reach him. He scoured through the dense forest for some time until he came across a dilapidated abandoned hut from which he could see a faint light. He went there to find that the door was slightly open. He pushed it open softly, just careful enough not to make noise. Inside, he saw a Dmitri wrapped around a girl.
He became excited. Had Dmitri found his mate? He would never sleep like that with a woman. It seemed to be that after rejecting Keisha's numerous attempts in luring him, Dmitri had finally found his someone.
He became happy and all the more excited for his alpha. He wanted to call him, but he didn't want to disturb them. He was dying to see the woman who had finally captivated Dmitri's heart, but all he could see was his muscular back.
He circled the dried grass bed on which they were lying. He noticed that Dmitri had put his arms around her and her face was buried in his chest. The way Dmitri had embraced her, it seemed as if she was his possession. Becoming eager to take a peep at the mystery woman, Nate treaded softly. He was now on Adrianna's side, and was able to see a little more when a hand reached out and belligerently gripped him. In the next moment, Nate found himself on the floor with Dmitri growling at him, "I will murder you."
Dmitri threw a blood-curdling glare at Nate for his impudence. Dmitri had pressed Adrianna into his chest and had covered her with his body. He looked at Nate with a murderous glint.
Nate threw his hands up in the air and said, "Hey, it's me." He rose, rubbing his back.
Dmitri was relieved to see him and said, "Sorry." He shifted her position and checked on her again. She was breathing normally, but was still unconscious. He appeared very worried. Leaving her there, he said, "Nate, she was hit very forcefully by a log and she hasn't regained her consciousness. Is there a healer in her pack?"
With the way he was stroking her hair, it seemed as if she was the one he had been looking for all his life. Nate had no doubt about it, but he pitied Keisha.
"I don't know… but I will ask Liam about it. In my opinion, there should be one…" he answered.
"What about Rufus?"
"He has been dealt with. He will never be able to talk again. We had to let him go because his disappearance would raise unnecessary suspicions," answered Nate.
Dmitri nodded. His body had completely healed. "Inform the red moon pack alpha that I will be coming to ask for his daughter's hand today. I am not waiting for the waning moon."
Nate smiled at his alpha's impatience. He wanted to joke and laugh at him, but then again, matters of marriage were serious, so he refrained. He simply said, "Okay."
