Sold To An Alpha

She looked around but found nothing amiss. Everything was in order, and that's how she got to try to figure out exactly what Leia took.

A deep breath escaped her nose and she twisted her lips.

'To tell dad or not to tell him?' She tapped her fingers on her thighs and bit her lower lips.

'Okay, since I can't find anything missing, I won't create a fuss about it, but if ever in the future, dad complains of any missing stuff in his room, then I will let him know.' She nodded her head in agreement with her thoughts and turned around to proceed out of the room.

She shut the door and made her way downstairs. When she arrived at the dining area, she noticed that Leia and Adrik were gone. "Um... where are they?" She asked her father as she took her seat.

"They have left." Amy shrugged as she replied and picked lazily at the food in front of her.

"Oh.... i... see." Jenny nodded her head with an awkward smile on her face.

Leia and Adrik arrived home, and they stepped down from the car. 

They walked into the mansion together and made their way to their room.

As tired as she was, Leia strolled to the bed and plopped down on it, lying face flat.

"Is everything okay?" Adrik asked with concern apparent in his tone, and she gave him a thumbs up.

She rolled over on her back and fixed her gaze on the ceiling. "I am okay. Just a bit tired and..." She sat up on the bed, a low sigh escaping her mouth, and stared at Adrik, who was sitting on the sofa.

Adrik smiled at her and stood up from the couch. He walked to the bed and sat down beside her, then tucked her in so her head was placed on his chest. "Do you want to talk about it?" He kissed her on the forehead, and Leia raised her head to gaze at his face.

She took a deep breath and began to fiddle with her fingers. "It's just, what if the truth ends up hurting me?" 

"What do you mean?" Adrik asked, a bit confused. 

"I mean, yeah, having the test is a very good idea... but... what if it turns out negative and I come to realize that the person I have lived with since the day I came into this world is not even my real father, and worst of all, that my mother lied to me?" She blew a strand of her hair that fell over her face and slumped down helplessly.

"Hmm, can I ask you a question?" Adrik stroked her arms and she raised her head to look at him and nodded.

"What if the result comes out positive? Will you be happy?" Leia fluttered her eyes at his question and turned her head to gaze into emptiness.

She took a low breath and laid down on his body, wrapping her arms around his waist. "I honestly don't know." She shrugged, and he nodded at her.

"Then don't think much about it. Just let things flow. " He smiled and caressed her back.

Leia sighed and closed her eyes. It's just quite confusing for her. She doesn't understand her feelings about that question. Maybe Adrik is right. She should just let everything flow on its own.

She wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist and relaxed her body. "Adrik"

"Yes." 

"My best friends are coming tomorrow. You said you wanted to meet them, so I invited them." She raised her head to stare at his face, and Adrik nodded at her. "Sure, no problem." He caressed her hair, and Leia laid her head on his chest.

"Your highness, are we still going to wait longer?" Nirmolak asked, with a bit of a frown on his face.

Ileus, who sat so elegantly on his red sofa with his head resting back and white hair falling all over his shoulder, opened one of his eyes and peeked at Nirmolak, who was staring at him, and a soft chuckle escaped his mouth.

He spread his hands to his side and crossed his legs, then took a deep breath. "Patience, Nirmolak! Patience." He said it in a deadly tone that sent chills down Nirmolak's body.

"But your highness, won't they slip away if we keep stalling for so much time? We need to do something, or else we might never get the chance ever again." Nirmolak stated his opinion, and Ileus immediately straightened up and interlocked his fingers. He stared intently at Nirmolak and his smiling face switched to one that held no expression.

"Do you think I am dumb?" He asked in a cold tone that had Nirmolak shaking his head instantly. "Not at all, your highness." 

"Then why are you questioning my orders and decisions?" A grin emerged on his face, and he narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"I would never dare. Forgive me if I did, your highness." Nirmolak lowered his head and pleaded for leniency.

A low sigh escaped Ileus' mouth, and he relaxed back on the sofa. "After so many years of serving me, you are still as naive as ever." He clicked his tongue and slightly shook his head. "It's so disappointing that your IQ is so low." He took deep breaths and stood up from the sofa. His gaze lowered to Nirmolak and he smiled. "One thing you should know is to never rush things because once you do, you will fail miserably."

He adjusted his suit and majestically made his way to the stairs and began to amble up, leaving Nirmolak, who still sat with his head lowered in embarrassment. 

Nirmolak raised his head and stared at the disappearing back of his highness, and his face twitched in anger. Low IQ! Humph!

If he really did have a low IQ, then why hasn't he cast him out yet? Why is he still keeping him as his right-hand man? Something is definitely not right.

He is well aware of how cunning and lethal his master was, which is one of the many reasons he would never consider betraying him. And this is also one of the reasons why he believes that there is a part of the plan that wasn't revealed to him.

He pinched between his brows and got up from the sofa.. He ambled outside and raised his eyes to gaze up at the dark sky.
