Sold To An Alpha

Adrik's eyes fluttered vigorously, and he hurriedly paused the video. He took a short, quick breath, then rubbed his face with his palm. 

He resumed the video again and continued to watch. As he did, his eyes began to dwindle, and his hands began to morph into fists. The moment the scene where Shawn pulled Leia down and kissed her forcefully, Adrik's heart skipped a bit and his face began to boil red in rage. 

He took a long, deep breath to calm himself down and pinched between his brows. 'Fuck!' He cursed, realizing he had misjudged Leia and was indeed unnecessarily angry at her. He took yet another subtle breath, then proceeded to play the next video.

He clicked on the video and interlocked his hands. He really wanted to see how his little wife settled everything.

[Leia pushed the door to the ward open and walked towards the chair to sit down, with no single emotion evident on her face.

"How do you feel?" She asked Shawn with a bit of concern visible in her tone. 

"I am fine," Shawn replied.

"That's great." Leia nodded her head, then her face darkened a bit. "Why did you do that?" She threw an instant question at him.

"Do what?" Shawn questioned back as if he didn't understand what she was saying.

"Don't play with me, Shawn. You know how crazy I can be?" Her pitch-black pupils stared intently at him.

"There is nothing to say. I did what I never got to do from the first moment we fell in love with each other. You never allowed me to kiss you, but you allowed him to. So what do you think?" He stopped picking on his finger and turned his head to stare at her]

Adrik hurriedly paused the video and stayed silent for one minute just to understand. So his little wife had never kissed anyone before and he was her first kiss. His lashes flickered in disbelief, and he took a deep breath, then proceeded to resume the video.

[ "So that's why you kissed me without my permission and almost ruined my marriage?" Leia chuckled mockingly and shook her head in utter letdown. "I am so disappointed in you. Shawn, you, of all people, are supposed to know that none of these is anyone's fault. Things were meant to be this way. I was meant to be with Adrik, not you, and I was also meant to fall in love with him, not you. So... no one can be blamed here but fate and the heart." She shook her head at him, and Shawn's hands secretly balled into a tight fist.

"You know, if I hadn't met him, I would probably be dead by now. Do you know why? Because the first day we met was when I gave up on the world and wanted to commit suicide." As though reminiscing about that day, a loving smile emerged on her face. 

"He didn't let me die but married me in the form of a way to settle a deal with Mr. Adolpho. From the moment I stepped into his home, it was like heaven on earth. I experienced love I had never experienced before. It was like a new world to me, and I knew at that moment that this might just be the place for me.

"So please Shawn. Stay out of my marriage and don't try to ruin it. I love you, but only as my friend. My husband is the only man that owns my heart and the only man I will ever love. Nothing, I mean nothing in this world, will ever be able to separate us. Not you, not anyone. " With that being said, she stood up from the chair and stared down at him. "Take good care of yourself. Your hospital bill and everything else has already been paid. Once you're discharged, you just have to go home." 

She smiled at him and turned around, then ambled out of the ward. Shawn stared at her disappearing back and the moment she shut the door, he began to punch the bed and cried hard. He buried his face in his palm, and tears slipped from his eyes. "Leia!!! Leia!!! You!!! "] 

Adrik immediately shut the laptop, then dropped it on the middle table. He rubbed his forehead and took deep breaths to calm his heart, which was rapidly beating even though he wasn't running.

He threw his head back on the couch and unexpectedly began to laugh, with tiny drops of tears falling from his eyes. 'I totally fucked up!' He mockingly shook his head at himself, then raised his eyes to stare at Leia, who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Little wife..." He whispered her name and stood up from the couch. "Why didn't you tell me?" His eyes shut tightly in guilt and he moved towards her on the bed. He climbed in beside her and gently caressed her face with a remorseful smile on his lips.

"Little wife." He lifted her from the bed, into his arms, and Leia, who felt she was being moved from the position she was lying in, furiously blinked her eyes open. She rubbed her eyeballs and her lashes fluttered in deep surprise at seeing Adrik holding her firmly in his arms.

"Adrik... is everything okay?" She adjusted herself on the bed so she could sit with her face facing him. 

Adrik cupped her cheeks with his hands and stared into her eyes without uttering a single word. Leia's gaze darted around as she felt deeply confused, and she parted her lips to talk, but Adrik cut her off.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you explain it to me even when I gave you the chance to clear things up with me?" He asked in the most tender voice that she had never heard him use before. 

'What exactly is going on?' Her brow furrowed deeply in confusion and she raised her eyes to stare at him. However, what she didn't expect was for Adrik to kiss her. Her eyes fluttered as she felt something different in this kiss. It was different compared to the usual way he used to kiss her. It held so many emotions that she could feel. It wasn't lustful nor passionate, nor was it simple, but rather it was something else. It was as though she could feel him pouring out his love, his heart, his care into that one kiss, and she felt completely overwhelmed by it.
