Sold To An Alpha

They arrived at the mansion, and Adrik led Leia back to their room. They took a nice shower and tucked themselves into bed after dressing up.

Adrik wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him, then placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

A few minutes of silence were enacted before Leia abruptly sighed. Adrik gently grabbed her by the chin and tilted her head up so she could look at him. "What is it?" He slightly raised his brow as he asked, with concern apparent in his tone.

Leia pinched between her brows and laid her head on his chest. "It's nothing actually, just that I am kind of nervous."

"Nervous about what?" Adrik's brow creased a bit in bewilderment.

"Well... I plan on going for the DNA test tomorrow and am just kind of nervous about the whole thing. " She took a deep breath, and Adrik began to caress her arms. "There is nothing to be nervous about, okay. Everything will be fine." He kissed her on the head and shut his eyes.

Leia slightly nodded and encircled her arms around him. "Adrik... when will you take me to your kingdom?" She suddenly asked, and Adrik's eyes blinked in surprise. "Do you want me to?" 

She nodded at him, and Adrik stroked her on the back as he slowly nodded his head. "Alright then, once the time comes, I will take you." He smiled and relaxed comfortably on the bed.

The early morning sun rose in the sky, and birds flew around, singing melodically.

Leia, who had just woken up, had already taken her shower right after Adrik did and slid into her clothing.

She walked to Adrik and stood on tiptoe, then placed a soft kiss on his lips. "See you in five hours." Adrik nodded and kissed her back. He grabbed his black suitcase from the floor and made his way out of the room.

A deep breath left Leia's mouth, and she grabbed her phone from the bed, then walked out.

She boarded the Lamborghini and drove out of the compound, then increased the speed of the car a bit, and sped off down the road.

"Why am I always late?" She cursed herself as she stepped down from the car and slammed the door shut. She locked it and turned around to gaze at a familiar building. 'Victor's lodgings.' She shook her head to herself and strolled into the building.

The elevator took her to the second floor, and she made her way to Victor's apartment. A deep breath escaped her nose and she slowly pushed the door open.

The instant she stepped in, her face darkened as her gaze fell on her best friends, who were seated apart from each other with no expression on their faces.

Her eyes darted around, and she walked closer to them, then stared at their faces. "What is going on here?" She asked, and they raised their eyes to stare at her.

"Nothing. We were just waiting for you to arrive." Victor shrugged as he replied, and Leia rolled her eyes at him. She took deep breaths and walked to stand in the middle of the apartment.

She gazed at them and abruptly clicked her tongue. "Alright, we all need to talk right now."

"There is nothing to talk about." James blurted out without glancing at anyone, and Kiesha, who sat on the couch near his sofa, bit her lower lips.

"What do you mean?" Leia's face turned ashen at his words, and she turned to face him with a deep scowl on her face.

A deep breath left James' nose, and he dropped his phone beside him on the couch, then crossed his arms and lifted his head to stare at her. "I said there was nothing to talk about."

"And I am asking you what you mean by that!" Leia's voice changed to a bit cold and James chuckled softly.

"I would be lying if I said I was not pissed or angry because I really am. I am very pissed." He nodded his head as he said, and Leia fixed her gaze on him. 

"And why exactly?" She questioned him yet again, and James turned her to stare at Kiesha.

"I am pissed because of her! You know, this makes no fucking sense! " He stood up from the couch and folded his arms. "I hate lies more than anything! It would have been okay if she wasn't someone special to me, but fuck she is my best friend, our best friend. But in the time of her need, a time where she needed help and needed us, she shut us out! She lied to us and pretended that everything was fine!" James shut his eyes and inhaled deeply. 

He turned to Kiesha, whose face was about to tear up, and gazed at her with displeasure evident on his face. "You know, you could have let us know, your best friends! The people who will always be there for you. There is no way we wouldn't help you out, and you know it. If you had told us, you wouldn't be out of college by now. You'd still be there chasing your dreams, but what did you do? You fucking kept us in the dark and-"

"That's enough, James." Victor, who was quiet all along, abruptly patted him on the shoulder and took a soft breath. "It's her choice and decision, so... please don't take it that far." He pinched between his brows and walked back to his sofa to sit down.

James' face grimaced in annoyance and irritation, and he shoved his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, then angrily stormed out of the apartment, slamming shut the door behind him.

Kiesha's heart jumped to her throat, and the tears that she had been holding back fell from her eyes. 

Leia immediately rushed up to her and squatted down to her level. "Hey, hey, don't cry." She used her hand to wipe off the tears in her eyes and pulled her into a tight hug.

"I am sorry," Kiesha whispered behind sobs, and Leia patted her on the back.. "It's okay."
