Liam shrugged and said, "I don't know what is going on Dmitri, but it is strange that they would even ask this kind of question. It makes me curious as to whether or not this information is real… I mean, neotides are not intelligent enough to have asked that kind of question, so they must have asked under someone else's order.
"There are too many questions that need an answer…" Liam was very tired, so he closed his eyes.
Dmitri and Nate exited, leaving Liam alone so that he could get some rest. They had warded off the neotides just in time to save Liam.
Cora was waiting for them when they got home. She was furious about Liam's attack.
"Dmitri, why was Liam attacked?" was the first thing she said to her son as soon as he entered the house.
"I don't know Mother…" he answered. Then, he turned to Nate and said, "If the neotides are acting on someone's orders, then we have to find out who they are."
Nate nodded. He started heading out to gather more information, but Dmitri stopped him and warned, "Nate, you cannot go to that side of the jungle. I hear that there is a huge army of neotides over there."
"Reese is the commander of the neotide army," said Cora, divulging the information she had gathered over the past few days.
Dmitri was used to his mother's style of working so he didn't inquire further.
"But why would they even talk about magic? Only wizards can do magic. It is impossible for anyone else other than a wizards to do magic...
"If the neotides are asking around about magic, then either they are heavily mistaken or there is something amongst the wolf clans that we are not aware of," said Cora.
Dmitri nodded and said, "I will tell all the chiefs of the packs here to keep their eyes open about anything untoward that may be happening around them."
"But what about the packs that you haven't conquered yet?" asked Cora.
Dmitri lowered his head as he was instantly reminded of Adrianna and had an urge to be with her. It was 4AM in the morning, and as much as he wanted to be with her, he had to restrain his wolf.
When Cora saw that Dmitri had become quiet, she asked, "Dmitri, what is it that you are thinking?" She could never read her son's mind after he had become the supreme alpha. He allowed people to read his mind when he wanted them to. Otherwise, no one could know what was behind that sharp brain of his. There were too many schemes, which he could never divulge.
Dmitri looked at his mother and announced, "Next mid-week, I am going to marry Adrianna, the daughter of Kuro of the blue moon pack. I want the servants here to make room for her in this house."
Cora knew about it already, but she had not spoken up about it. Dmitri knew that his mother was well aware of his marriage plans. The fact that she wasn't talking to him about it meant that she had something else on her mind. Whatever it was, he would not yield.
"Do you realize how long Keisha has been with you Dmitri?" she asked.
For Cora, Keisha was perhaps the best wife Dmitri could get. She remembered that her husband had promised Dmitri to someone, but she didn't know who that was, because before he could reveal her name, he had been called to fight a deadly war against Vikra.
Had she known whom her husband had promised, she would have scoured through Heaven and Earth to find them. But for now, it was the biggest mystery of her life, and Keisha was the next best option.
Dmitri refused to answer.
"The fact that her father had given her to you unconditionally makes her an important person. She has fought so many battles with you. Do not underestimate her," said Cora in a strict manner.
How could her son, the supreme alpha, marry a random girl from a wolf pack that he hadn't even conquered? Plus, that girl was studying at a human college! Rarely any wolves went to study at human colleges. The humans had provided a special education to the wolves at reserve colleges.
"Mother, I am not underestimating her. She has been my commander in many battles. I agree, but I am sorry. I simply don't love her. I am not attracted to her, and it would be cruel to her if I marry her while loving someone else," replied Dmitri in one breath. He was getting tired of the topic.
Cora couldn't say much as she knew that her son was very adamant, and if he had decided on something, he wouldn't budge. That kind of domineering personality was needed to rule the wolf world.
"Dmitri, I want you to make a wise decision. You should know that there are people who look up to their ruler. You have to show them that your wife is equally as strong, if not more. So whatever you do, you have to set an example in front of them," said Cora.
