Sold To An Alpha

She lifted her hand to touch her fangs and then glanced at Adrik, who was sitting up on the bed.

Adrik rubbed his neck where he felt that tingling and then turned to look at Leia, who had a nervous look on her face. 

The instant his gaze fell on her fangs, and eyes that were deep red, his lashes flickered furiously. He roughly rubbed his neck and, on feeling a bit of scratch, he slowly turned his head to stare at her. "Little... wif-" He was yet to finish his words when Leia hurriedly climbed down from the bed and rushed into the bedroom, shutting the door behind her and locking it.

Her heart thumped rapidly within her and she slid her back down the door till her butt touched the floor. She brought her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, then buried her face in her knees.

What the hell just happened? She had almost bit Adrik.

A quick breath escaped from her and she inhaled and exhaled deeply to calm herself down. 'It's all okay.' She repeatedly said to herself and abruptly raised her head when she heard a light knocking on the door. 

"Little wife," Adrik called with concern evident in his tone, but she did not answer, just swallowing hard.

"Little wife, is everything alright? Are you feeling okay? Open the door and let me help you." He pleaded, but Leia did not respond, simply rising from the floor and walking towards the sink's mirror.

She stared intently at herself and, as though her eyes had caught something, she looked closely and immediately grabbed a handful of her hair, which was completely gray.

"What the fuck?!?" Her heart began to race within her and her breathing became unsteady. Why the hell is her hair turning gray?! Are they all going to be completely gray soon?

As soon as that question arose in her head, panic struck her, and she walked towards the cabinet, then opened it and grasped a pair of scissors. 

She walked back to the mirror and glared at her hair through the mirror. A deep scowl emerged on her face and she grabbed the handful of gray hairs ready to cut them. However, the door burst open at that moment and Adrik rushed in with anxiousness evident on his face. "Little wife." His gaze fell on her, and he hurriedly moved towards her.

Leia's heart skipped a bit, and she accidentally dropped the scissor, causing it to fall to the floor.

Adrik halted instantly, and his gaze shifted to the scissor. He walked towards it and picked it up from the floor, then raised his green eyes to stare at her.

Leia's orifices fluttered, and she shut her eyes as she saw him begin to walk closer to her. Her body shuddered as she felt his hands trail up her neck to cup her cheeks.

"Little wife, what is going on with you?" Adrik abruptly asked with a bit of amusement in his tone, and stunned, Leia, opened her eyes to stare at his amused face.

"Yo-you're not mad at me?" She inquired in a bit of a shaky tone, and Adrik's brow arched in bewilderment. "Mad... at you for what?" He asked, with confusion evident on his face.

"I almost..." She stuttered as she tried to say something, but she, however, found herself unable to say anything.

"Wait...you think I would be mad because you almost marked me?" He implored, completely confused, and Leia slowly nodded her head at him.

Adrik's eyes flickered and a smile emerged on his lips. He lifted her and sat her down near the sink, then stared intently at her. "Little wife, why would you think that?" He asked, a bit disappointed. 

"I-I don't-"

"Little wife, listen, I will never be mad about that. You're my wife and not just that, you're also my mate, so it's normal for you to want to mark me."

"You know, when you had no idea that I was not a human, I always had this urge to mark you and claim you as mine, but I just controlled myself. You're not used to your demon side, so of course, your demon will always have more control over you at times than you do over her. " 

"Demon sides don't really restrain themselves that much, just like my wolf also does not control himself. He hasn't gone on a rampage because I have complete control over him, so you don't have to worry about anything. It's normal for this to happen until you learn to put her under control. Also, you should know that your demon will never do anything to harm you, rather she will only be out of control at times since you are yet to learn to control her." He explained and grabbed her hands, then smiled lovingly at her. "Are you still feeling the urge?" 

"No..." Leia slightly shook her head, and he nodded at her. "Alright then." He carefully carried her down from the sink and tenderly brushed her hair back. His hand abruptly halted as he sighted the few strands of her hair that had turned gray. 

He shifted his gaze to her and then glanced at the scissors he picked up from the floor. "Little wife, were you trying to... cut your hair?" 

She slowly nodded at him, and Adrik's eyes blinked furiously. "Why the fuck would you want to do that? Do you want to cut off the gray part and leave the brown ones?" He suddenly broke out into a soft laugh and slightly shook his head. "Do you want to look like an almost bald man?" He inquired, still amused by her thoughts. 

"I hate it!" Leia's face darkened, and she pushed him out of the way, then proceeded to walk away. However, Adrik held her back and pinched between his brows. "Listen, little wife, I understand, but just let it change to that color. Cutting your hair won't change anything because as long as your hair continues to grow, it will still turn that color. Besides, who knows why it's changing to a gray color?"

"Maybe I am becoming old." She scoffed, and Adrik burst out into laughter. "Remind me how old you are again." He said, with his cheeks puffed up as he sealed his lips to resist the urge to laugh. 

Leia's face crumpled and she stared at him as though she would beat the shit out of him. "You better deal with your mouth, because if you laugh..." Her eyes narrowed viciously and she walked past him, proceeding to leave the bathroom. However, strong arms abruptly wrapped around her body, causing her to halt.

"Don't be mad, little wife. I am sorry." Adrik hugged her tightly and tenderly kissed her on the cheek. Leia's eyes fluttered, a slow smile emerged on her face, and she turned around to face him.. "I love you."
