Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha

Kuro didn't answer and narrowed his eyes, warning her not to go there. Kayla understood and became quiet. 

"Go and help her out with her evening dress," said Reinjie. "We should look like a family there." 

"Oh please, Reinjie! Everyone knows how much we disliked Adrianna. It is not like it wasn't an open secret," she retorted. 

Kuro grunted. "Do as Reinjie says. Even if everyone knows, you have to go in order to make people think that we have changed." 

Kayla was envious of Adrianna - envious that a simple girl like her who only ever studied could become the supreme alpha, Dmitri's, wife. Kayla didn't even want to see her face, let alone help her dress up. But because Kuro wanted her to go, she went to the palace. Captivated by its inner architecture and the furnishings, she walked, looking around mesmerized, until she bumped into someone. 

"Oh, sorry," she apologized. When she looked up, she saw that it was Cora. 

"Good morning," greeted Kayla. From the previous night's incident, she knew that Cora didn't like Adrianna. 

Cora asked sternly, "Where are you going?"

"I was going to assist Adrianna," she replied meekly. 

"Sit down with me Kayla. Let us talk," ordered Cora. 

They sat down on the nearest sofa. "I believe that you wanted to be Dmitri's wife," asked Cora.

Kayla was stunned at her question. She nodded and said, "Yes…"

"Do you like him?" asked Cora.

"Yes…" came the prompt reply. 

"Will you help me in eliminating Adrianna?" asked Cora blatantly. 

Kayla gulped. She looked at Cora with wide eyes. "But how can we do that?" 

Cora went to the kitchen and came back with a pill. "Can you slip this into Adrianna's tea or water?" 

Kayla was still flustered. Killing Adrianna was one thing, but on her wedding day too? 

"I am sorry, but I can't do this. Dmitri will kill me if he finds out." She was too afraid to think of the outcome of this action. 

"No, he won't find out, because the pill's effect will only take place two hours after being ingested. And when this happens, I will propose your name in order to keep our family's honor," said Cora very coldly. 

However, her real plan was something else. She would make Kayla poison Adrianna and then reveal Kayla's face to the public, eventually putting her head on the guillotine. Later, she would have Dmitri take Keisha as his wife. 

Kayla said, "What is the guarantee that you won't rat me out?" 

Cora narrowed her eyes and replied, "What is the guarantee that you won't rat me out?" 

Kayla understood that both of them were together in this plan and that they had to work in tandem. She was surprised to find herself coming to assist Adrianna but instead being embroiled in a dangerous plan. Despite that, there was a glint in her eyes. She looked around the palace. It would be all hers. She nodded and said, "So how does this pill work?" 

"Once you have given her the pill, you have to make sure that she doesn't drink water. It will take two hours for it to kill her if she does," replied Cora with coldness in her eyes. She had ordered the execution of many werewolves using that pill. 

Kayla became nervous. Killing Adrianna was a huge thing. But she looked at the bright side: with Adrianna gone, she would become a queen overnight. 

She took the pill from Cora and hid it in her bra. "Would be better if we give her the pill in the evening?" she asked her.

"Yes, give it to her around 4PM so that by 6PM, she will be no more. Then Dmitri won't have enough time left to cancel the wedding, and I will push you in her place," replied Cora, smelling the scent of success in the air. Cora couldn't believe her luck when she saw Kayla coming inside the palace. She had planned on meeting Kayla to propose this plan anyways, so when she saw Kayla, she immediately threw the opportunity at her. As she had expected, Kayla had jumped at the opportunity.

Nervous and excited, Kayla bit her lower lip so hard that it bled a little. She got up and decided to go and meet Adrianna for a while so that Adrianna wouldn't be confused in the afternoon when she came to help her dress for the wedding.

As soon as Kayla left, Keisha came out from her hiding place and stood beside Cora. She placed her hands on Cora's shoulder and they both smiled, looking at each other. 

"She is indeed an idiot," sniggered Keisha. 

Kayla went to Adrianna's room and knocked on the door. Adrianna had just finished her breakfast. Dmitri allowed her to enter, thinking that a servant had come to clear the table. 

Kayla opened the door and walked in. Both Dmitri and Adrianna were surprised. As she walked in, she saw how opulent the bedroom was. "Is this the master suite?" she asked Adrianna.
