Chapter 187 - Leave Me Alone
Arriving at their destination, the driver pulled over and began driving into the compound. He drove around the wolf statue before parking the car in the parking lot. The bodyguards hurried down from the car and pulled the door open.
Adrik stepped down and shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants, then began to stroll towards the entrance. He walked into the living room and nodded at the maids, who bowed to him.
He strolled towards the room and pushed the door open. When he stepped in, he found none of their things inside the room. It was as if they had been robbed. Everywhere was completely empty.
His brow crinkled in confusion, and he walked out of the rook, making his way towards one of the maids. "Where is my wife?" He asked, and the maid lowered her head. "Supreme Alpha... Lu-luna is upstairs." She answered, and he turned around and made his way towards the elevator.
He stepped inside, and the elevator took him up to the second floor, then walked out when the doors opened.
He ambled towards their room, which they had vacated due to Leia destroying everything inside of it. What could she be doing in there?
He pushed the door open and stepped in. The moment he turned around, his eyes fell on a brand new room that looked way more beautiful than before.
His eyes fluttered vigorously, and he shifted his gaze to a purple bean bag in the room to see Leia seated on it with her phone in her hands.
"Little... wife." He whispered, and Leia hurriedly turned to glance at the door when she heard his voice. As though a child, given candy, she rushed up to him and jumped on top of him, hugging him tightly.
Adrik winced in pain the moment her hands wrapped around his back and hurriedly put her down to stand on her feet on the floor.
Leia's brow crumpled deeply, and she raised her orifices to stare at the grimaced expression on his face. 'Have I become too heavy?' She questioned herself but suddenly shook her head as she found that ridiculous. No matter how heavy she got, she would never be too heavy for Adrik to carry.
"Adrik... is everything ok-"
She was yet to finish her words when Adrik walked past her and into the bathroom, then slammed the door shut. She flinched back a bit, and her lashes fluttered in deep confusion. 'What's going on with him?' She couldn't help but question herself yet again in deep apprehension.
The sound of running water resounded from the bathroom, and she moved to stand near the door. She leaned down on it and gently gave three light knocks. "Adrik... is everything okay?" She waited for an answer, but not a word came from Adrik. All she kept hearing was the sound of running water. A low breath left her nose and she turned around to have her back placed against the door.
...
Adrik gazed at himself through the mirror on the wall and a subtle breath left his nose. He stared at his scars and that scene where Ileus knocked off his mask flashed in his mind. He hurriedly scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
He unwrapped the bandage around his chest, dropped it, and walked to the shower to take a long, warm bath.
A few minutes passed, and he finally turned off the shower, then grabbed the white towel to wrap around his waist. He strolled to the door and turned the handle, then pushed it open.
The first thing his eyes fell on was Leia, who stood in front of him with a disturbed look on his face.
Leia stared at his face and her eyes moved to his hair, which was wet and dripping drops of water. "Why didn't dry your hair?"
Adrik replied her not, and turned to make his way towards the dressing room with a white material in his hand, which she immediately came to know was a bandage.
Her brow furrowed deeply, and her eyes unexpectedly fell on his back, which had a deep claw wound. "Adrik!" She clamored his name, stopping him on his track and hurrying to stand in front of him. "W-what happened to you? What is that deep wound on your back? Did you have a fi-"
Adrik gently moved her out of the way and walked into the dressing room, slamming the door shut and locking it from the inside, so she couldn't come in.
He took a few minutes before he was done with dressing up his wound and cladding himself in a white robe. He dried up his hair, then proceeded to stroll out of the room.
He turned the door handle and walked out, only to see Leia seated on the sofa with a distant look on her face. He shifted his gaze to the glass window and let out a low sigh as the rain falling heavily outside hit the window.
He turned and ambled towards the bed, then laid down on his stomach and shut his eyes.
Leia immediately stood up from the couch in the notice of him and moved towards him on the bed. She climbed in and gently stroked his hair. "Adrik, why don't you want to tell me what's wrong with you?" She inquired in the calmest voice she had ever used.
"Leave me alone. I just want some time to myself. That's all." He replied in a calm, yet cracked voice, and Leia's eyes fluttered. She got down from the bed, then walked over to climb in beside him and lie down with their faces facing each other.
She reached out her hand and caressed his cheek, and Adrik's eyes blinked open. They gazed into her pitch-black eyes and he uttered not a single word.
"Why don't you want to talk to me?" She inquired yet again and tenderly kissed his forehead.
Adrik took a deep breath and shifted his arm to wrap it around her waist. "I'm sorry, little wife." He half-smiled at her, and Leia shook her head.
"Adrik, don't apologize to me for no reason, and just tell me what is wrong. You have a very deep wound in your back that you didn't have this morning, and the clothes you wore to come back weren't the same as the ones you wore to leave this morning. Please just tell me what happened. I am really worried. I feel like I'm going to be sick." She pouted in displeasure, and Adrik couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"I will explain everything to you tomorrow. Let's just have a peaceful night, okay." He leaned in closer and gave her a soft peck on the lips. "Mind telling me, who redecorated this room?" He inquired with his right brow raised.
"Oh it's nothing much, I just didn't like the decoration they gave it, so I gave it my own style of redo." She giggled proudly, and Adrik nodded at her. "It's very beautiful and creative." He smiled at her and she moved to kiss his forehead.
