Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Chapter 273 - Why Zephyr?



Adrianna slowed her pace as Zephyr approached her. "Sure," she replied. 

And so, he started walking with her and she could sense tension building up. Others, who were also walking to the potions class in the corridor, could feel how odd it was for the two of them to walk together.  

​​

After walking for a few yards in an awkward silence, Zephyr sighed and chose to speak first in order to break the tension. 

"Adrianna," he started. "Professor Ziu will be out for a week and I will be your new professor for the spells. If you feel that you are not comfortable with me, I will recommend some other professor for you." 

Adrianna was shocked. With Professor Ziu out for a week, how will she learn the spells? She was very comfortable with him. She didn't want to stay near Zephyr, let alone learn the spells from him. Things weren't adding… why Zephyr? There were other professors who could teach her spells. What about Coral? Even she could have taught her. 

Adrianna bit her lip because here she was, wanting to stay away from Zephyr while he was only extending his help to teach her. 

"Thanks Zephyr. I will let you know…" she replied with her conscience biting her.  

"Sure," he said with a smile. "I'll take your leave. Have to go to another class." 

 When Zephyr left, Adrianna felt relieved. She took a deep breath and followed the hallway to the potions class. Once she saw Professor Lane, she returned the three potions that she had taken from him. 

"Congratulation Adrianna, I am very happy that you dealt with Raz cleverly." He took the potions with a smile. "He deserved an ending like that. I had heard that he had been creating havoc in this realm." 

Adrianna chuckled as she remembered the disgusting fluid around when she was eaten by him, and how she exploded him. It gave her immense satisfaction. 

"But, do you know that the ministry will be announcing the third stage of the competition soon?" Added Professor Lane as he returned the bottles back in the rack. "This time, there are going to be really tough rules. You better prepare yourself nicely."

"Soon? As in when?" she asked.

It was as if fate was against her resting even for a day. Every day, there was something new to look at. Her life had catapulted into a storm of adventures one after the other. 

"I don't know," replied Professor Lane with a shrug. "Right now, you should concentrate on learning as many spells as possible. I am sure Professor Zephyr will teach you well." 

Adrianna cringed, which was noticed by Professor Lane. He frowned and gave her a short lecture, "Adrianna, Zephyr is a very talented boy and you should know that by the fact that he is teaching an academy's senior class. We all know your history with Lia and Zola. Remember, everyone here is being watched. If Zephyr has accepted this position, he is well aware that he is being watched, so be rest assured that he will teach you nicely. As far as your personal relationship is concerned, that is for you to decide."  

Adrianna sulked. "I know…" she said, then went to her table. This time, there were only three other boys. Lile had stopped coming to the potions class. 

"Today, I will be teaching how to make a potion that will allow you to travel at a speed faster than that of sound," declared Professor Lane.

In Niiya's house, Keisha have slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was past afternoon. 

She went out of the basement to find Niiya, but met his mother instead. Niiya's mother smiled at her and asked her to join them for lunch. Over lunch, Keisha spoke as minimal as she could for the fear that her people might hear her or read her mental thoughts even though she had blocked herself. She found it odd that there were no familiar scents around, because by this time, Dmitri should have sent all his men around to find her.  

Niiya's mother broke her reverie as she asked her a question, "When did you meet Niiya? He has never told me about you. I thought that after Adrianna, he would never be interested in other girl. She is a wretched witch!"

Keisha thought that it was still the case. Niiya still loved Adrianna deeply, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to manipulate  him. She just smiled and replied, "I met Niiya just a few days back…" 

Niiya's mother smiled as they talked. After she finished her lunch, Keisha went back to her room. 

As the day passed, there were still no familiar scents. At one point of time, she sneaked out of the front door to try to pick up any familiar scent, but there was none. All she saw was a teenage girl standing in a black dress looking away from her. Keisha went inside, assured that no one from the Blue Moon pack was there . She had to take the opportunity and get out of Niiya's home as soon as possible before they discovered that she was there. For that, she had to wait for the night to fall.
