Chapter 385 - How Is My Grandchild?
Flashback continued:
Pierre was shocked to hear Adrianna. However, something in his heart said that he could trust the girl standing in front of her. He nodded. "Okay…"
"Do you know the places where Vikra makes his weapons?" asked Adrianna.
"Yes. I know all of them," said Pierre. He had worked as a labor in many of those caves when Vikra wanted to subject him to more torture. He would get whipped by the neotides when he would fail the task at hand. In all the years he was the prisoner, he had been rotated to all the caves one by one as and when he was wanted. Pierre was a master craftsman of weapons and that was one of the reasons why Vikra had captured him. He had a vast knowledge about the chemicals and hence Vikra wanted to use that knowledge.
After the war that happened between werewolves and Vikra, Pierre had disappeared. Even his dead body wasn\'t found because Vikra had caught him. This was the reason why Cora always believed that Pierre wasn\'t dead.
"In that case you will have to accompany me to those caves after I have cast the illusion," replied Adrianna.
"But those caves are heavily guarded and going around those caves isn\'t easy," he said cautioning her. He was scared that his daughter-in-law would get harmed. He wanted to protect her immediately.
"Don\'t worry Pierre. Just trust me and do what I am saying. Once we get out of the cage, you will have to come with me to those caves," said Adrianna with a smile.
"Okay," he replied awed at the confidence she was exuding.
Adrianna smiled and then said, "I will head back to my cave." Saying that she made Pierre wear his chains once again. Before leaving she said, "Tomorrow you will become free," and returned back to her cage.
Next day in the morning when Adrianna was preparing to go to the arena, suddenly she heard a noise outside her cave. She smiled when she heard Dmitri\'s smell and voice. He was with a Mozia. They were very near the cave when the neotides were about to attack them. She snapped her fingers and the two of them found themselves inside the cage right in front of Adrianna. They were shocked.
"Adri!" said Dmitri as he rushed to hug her. He had seen her after so long and was living in so much desolation without her. He hugged her for a long time as she hugged him back. "I was so worried for you," he said as he dipped his face in her neck and smelled her. "Are you okay?" He removed himself from her and cupped her face in his hands.
"Yes darling," she smiled. "Why did you come Dmitri? I wanted you to stay away and you have come right in the middle of the storm."
"I couldn\'t have stayed back Adri! You know that my life without you is listless. I wasn\'t living these past two days. I was moving like a zombie. You cannot imagine what all went through my heart when I couldn\'t pick up what was happening to you. I was ready to kill or be killed if I hadn\'t found you."
"Shush!" said Adrianna as she kept her hand on his mouth. She hugged him again and buried her face in his chest. She kissed him there and said, "I have found your father."
Dmitri caught her by the shoulders and pushed her back a little to see her face. He eyes were wide with surprise. "My father is here?"
Adrianna nodded. "He is here and today I am going to help him with his freedom. However, your father and I have arranged for a little bit of fireworks for the neotides."
Dmitri was all ears. Everything was happening so fast that he didn\'t know how to react. Adrianna could see his shock, so she held his hand and took him to sit on a rocky outcrop in the cave. She stood in front of him and explained her strategy. At the end she said, "So you and this Mozia have to be with us in order to destroy those caves. Once those caves are destroyed, Vikra\'s fifty percent strength will be over."
Dmitri said, "That\'s excellent."
Adrianna asked, "But how did you manage to come here in Vikra\'s land and that too with the help of one Mozia?"
Before he could say anything she knew the answer. "Isidorus asked for the meeting and I snuck in." Dmitri tilted his head and said, "And now you know everything."
She laughed. "I will be going to the cage in a while to fight Pierre. You keep waiting here, as this is the safest place to be. I will return in ten minutes along with Pierre and we will go on our mission."
Dmitri nodded and held Adrianna\'s wrist to pull her towards him. She went and stood in between his legs. He held her waist and said, "Thank you Adri…"
She kissed him on his lips.
All of a sudden, the boulder that was on the cave\'s entrance, started opening. The Mozia and Dmitri ran to the far corner of the cave and the Mozia cast an invisibility spell. Adrianna shape shifted. When the boulder was fully opened, an army of neotides came along with a cage in which they prodded Adrianna to enter. She entered the cage without any problem and saw that Vikra had created an illusion of full moon for her. She smirked at his foolishness.
After a while she faced Pierre inside the cage where they had to fight. Pierre had staged a fantastic show for the neotides. As soon as she entered, she shape shifted and created the illusion for all of them. While everyone was watching what she wanted them to watch, Adrianna asked Pierre to hold her hand and she got sucked in the vortex. They were back in the cave where Dmitri and Mozia were waiting.
Dmitri was so emotional when he saw his father that he didn\'t know what to do. Even Pierre was too emotional. His son had grown into a fine young man and married the girl of his choice. This was such a fantastic thing that he couldn\'t thank to the wolf spirits enough. Since the time was less, they had to immediately rush to the caves where weapons were made. Pierre sat on the broom with Mozia and led them to the biggest one first. It was a matter of time that the first cave was destroyed. She went on to destroy the second one when she saw Isidorus and Mihr going to Vikra\'s cave along with the Mozia. She asked Pierre to continue with his spree while she went to Isidorus and instructed him what to do and asked Mihr to attack from the outside.
Along with Dmitri, she went to where Pierre was, but she was shocked to see Vikra there. She had to take Vikra out of there to save Dmitri. She knew that she would kill Vikra now.

Present:
Isidorus and Cora listened to Adrianna and Pierre without blinking their eyes. The two of them talked as if it was just a fairy tale while their skins were getting lined up with goosebumps. At the end of it, Cora asked, "How is my grandchild?"
Pierre\'s eyes were wide with shock. "Adrianna is pregnant?" he asked as if he was hit by lighting bolt.
