BXBX NOVEL Chapter 372 - His Prized Possession
Niiya was astonished at his father. How could his father even think of not helping Adrianna?
"How do you know that Adrianna is in captivity?" asked his father. "Are you sure about it? Do you have any confirmation on it?"
"Father, Cora has sent me the information and I am pretty sure that her information is absolutely correct," he replied.
Dr. Tanaka looked at him and said, "Even in that case, you will not go and break the treaty because if you do, there will be no end to the grey areas that you are going to step over and this would create a lot of problems in the future."
Niiya was very furious. It was difficult for him to be as rational and cold as his father. He was driven by his emotions to the extent that he pounded his hand on the table in front of him and left the room. He walked out with anger and helplessness on his face. Being a human limited him. Were there no inter werewolf-human marriages? What would have happened if he had married Adrianna?

Meanwhile, in the Werewolf Realm, Dmitri had been busy preparing his army. He had several meetings with Nate, Liam and all the chiefs and they had designed a strategy to attack Vikra\'s land.
Vikra\'s land was down south of the jungles. It was a barren land with hardly any vegetation and was dotted with huge boulders, rocks and underground caves. The Werewolf Realm was on the west of the jungle while the Wizard Kingdom was on the north. Hence Dmitri decided to cover the entire west side. The Wizards were planning to attack from the north.
When Isidorus was formulating the strategy, Mihr was not happy. He said, "I want to talk to Dmitri and understand his approach as well. It would be better if we mix the armies and attack."
Isidorus looked at Mihr and knew what he was saying was absolutely true, but he also knew the character issues of the werewolves. They were very egoistic and short-tempered people. If the wizards mixed with, it was possible that they would have ego clashes with them. This would directly impact the war. "Mihr, let us not mix the armies. It would lead to unnecessary issues," he said.
"Why Isidorus?" he asked.
"It is better that some questions are left unanswered," he replied and started looking at the map. "We will make a plan first and then we will go there to talk about it."
"Okay," replied Mihr. Yet another of his questions went unanswered. He was getting used to Isidorus nowadays. He was much different earlier.
They started planning the strategy again.

After having food, Adrianna was now very relaxed. She stretched herself and once again looked around the cave. It was still dark and the moon was glowing in its full glory. It soothed her. Just to express her gratitude, she howled. Her howl was heard outside and neotides became tense. Vikra was in his cave when he heard Adrianna and he decided it was time to see her again. He wanted to keep her as healthy as possible. He took his broom and snapped his fingers. Next moment he was in Adrianna\'s cave.
He saw the beast jumping towards the moon and laughed. He hissed, "Adrianna, you are so foolish. I didn\'t know that you were cursed. If I had known, I would have kidnapped you much longer and would have trained you to work for me. I spent all those years training Reese. Imagine how it would have turned out, if I had trained you? We would have been ruling the world! Anyway, it is not too late. We would do that now that you are with me."
Adrianna looked at the creature with her golden yellow eyes and felt disturbed. She jumped at it to scare it off. Vikra laughed and then immediately rushed to the other side of the cave. Adrianna ran towards him at a greater speed and leaped at the creature, but he snapped his fingers and was at a different place. This went on for a long time, until she had run around a lot. Vikra thought that she would get tired, but contrary to his belief, she was very energetic.
Vikra felt as if he was playing with his pet. He laughed and then left the cave, pleased with her. He decided not to kill her or suck her soul. She was a fantastic, powerful being with immense powers. He had to use her powers.
He had already sent all his forces to the border of his land. He had anticipated that no one would be able to attack from the southern side of the territory. Hence he had sent huge numbers to the rest of the areas. He also had an escape route planned on the southern side in case his army was defeated.
Satisfied with his decision, Vikra went to his cave and rested. He was mentally satisfied now. He couldn\'t believe but he felt that he was at peace after centuries of anxiety. Even though he knew that there would be massive numbers of wizards and werewolves waiting to attack his land the next day, he was hardly bothered about them. His lifeless, bony body wanted to go to bed after years of instability. He wanted to rest.
But before resting, it was time for him to meet the man who was his prized possession from more than fifteen years. He had kept him alive for so long in his prison. His prison hardly had any prisoners because all of them were executed. However, Vikra had spared this one man and had tortured him a lot. He thought that this man would die from his torture one day but Vikra admired the fact that he was able to bear it all.
Vikra made his way to the prison. It was dark in the night and very eerie. When the prison gates opened, Vikra smiled. The place was filled with stench and filth, perfect for his prisoner.
