Sold To An Alpha

"You wanted to learn how to use your abilities, no?" He raised his brow at her, and Leia's jaw dropped in recollection. "Oh, yes, I do." She chuckled softly, and Adrik shook his head at her, with amusement visible in his expression. "Alright, come with me then." He pulled her along with him, and they walked to stand in the center of the backyard opposite each other.

Adrik wiggled his eyebrows at her and took his white jacket off, then disappeared, appearing before the white swing in the blink of an eye and dropping his jacket on it. In truth, he didn't even teleport, as werewolves do not have such an ability. He only ran, at a speed that would make one think he teleported.

"Damn." Leia chuckled as she bit her lower lips and Adrik tilted his head to one side. "Come get it." 

Leia narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath, preparing to move. However, she suddenly straightened up as a question popped up in her mind. Is she supposed to just run or...

As though Adrik knew what she was thinking, he laughed at her and urged her to run. "Yes, you just have to run." 

Leia glared at him and took a long deep breath, then bent a bit lower in the stance one takes before running, but the sound of Adrik's laughter had her raise her head to look at him with a bewildered expression on her face. "Why are you laughing?" She asked in a vicious tone, and Adrik sealed his lips, causing his cheeks to puff up. 

"Little wife...Why?...Just why are you in that position?" He inquired while trying so hard to restrain himself from cackling.

Leia glared at him as she already guessed what he meant and straightened up. She dusted her clothing and rolled her eyes at him. Then she turned her gaze to the swing, and a smirk emerged on her face. 

She moved her feet and arrived at the swing in a few seconds, grabbing the jacket from the chair. 

Adrik slightly shook his head and snatched the jacket from her, then dropped it back on the swing. He then turned to her and took a quick breath. "Little wife, you took thirty seconds to run from there to here, which is quite a lot of time." 

"What do you mean?" Leia inquired with a crumpled expression on her face.

"Well, you're a demon, and as I told you before, demons are way faster than any other creatures, including us werewolves. So if I arrived there in less than eight seconds, and you arrived in thirty seconds, don't you think that it's too much?" 

Leia slowly nodded her head at him and took a low, annoyed breath before proceeding back to the center of the garden. 

"The distance from there to the swing is not much, I believe, so I am expecting you to arrive there in under three seconds." He winked at her, then moved to stand on the sidelines.

Leia took a deep breath and shut her eyes to recollect herself. "Three seconds." She repeated it to herself before opening her eyes. She moved her right leg and, as though something unique was running through her body, she dashed off at an extraordinary speed, arriving at the swing and grabbing the white jacket.

Adrik smiled and nodded at her. "Twenty seconds. Ten seconds burned. Try again." 

Leia dropped the jacket back and sprinted back to stand at the center of the vast garden. She vigorously shook her head and narrowed her eyes at the swing.

"Don't let yourself be stiff, little wife. Let it be free."

She nodded at him and took a deep breath before she moved her right leg once again and dashed off, arriving just before the swing and grabbing the jacket.

Adrik walked up to her and pulled her into a hug, kissing her on the forehead. "Ten seconds. There is no doubt you will make it in under three seconds if you try again." 

Leia smiled cheerfully and punched him on the chest before wiggling her brows at him. "What's next?" She asked, and Adrik blinked his eyes as though thinking, then took a sharp breath. "Teleportation."

He walked to her and stood in front of her. "Remember what I told you before? To teleport, you need to focus and picture where you want to be and imagine yourself there, then poof, the magic happens." He chuckled softly and began to walk away towards the mansion.

"Where are you going?" Leia asked in confusion, and Adrik casually waved his hand at her. "I will be waiting for you inside the house, in our room. Remember, you can't come in unless through teleportation. " He cackled softly then dashed off, arriving in their room in just a few seconds.

Leia tsked in a bit of displeasure and took a deep breath. "I just have to imagine and I am good to go." She nodded at herself and raised her orifices to stare at the mansion.

She shut her eyes and pictured their room, then imagined herself in there. However, when she opened her eyes after a few seconds, she still found herself outside in the garden, standing right where she was standing before. "What the heck? I am sure I imagined this properly." 

Her lashes fluttered in annoyance and she proceeded to try again. However, just like before, she still found herself stuck outside. She tried five more times, but it still didn't work. "Arghhhh!"

After a few moments of venting out, she made up her mind to try again, and if it doesn't work this time, she will saunter into the house. 

She took a deep breath and shut her eyes, then pictured their room and her inside, but after a few seconds, she opened her eyes and still found herself stuck outside. "Are you kidding me?!!!" She balled her fists in deep irritation and stomped her feet on the ground in a bit of anger. She squeezed her hand into the pocket of her white shorts and pulled out her phone, then hurriedly dialed Adrik's number. 

Adrik picked it up and she instantly said with gritted teeth. "Come and pick me up." She yelled, and Adrik laughed softly before appearing before her in under a few seconds.

"Jeez, little wife!" He chuckled and ruffled her hair, then scooped her up in a bridal style. Leia wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. 

Adrik carried her into the mansion, and they made their way upstairs to their room, where he sat her down on the sofa and handed her a glass of water. 

Leia drank it and laid down on the couch, then shut her eyes.

Time passed at a bit of a faster pace than it normally does, and it soon became evening. 

"Where the hell is Rita?" Leia's face puckered in annoyance as she saw no sign of Rita. They had agreed to meet this afternoon, and currently, it was already evening, she still hadn't shown up.

She let out a deep breath, then moved to sit down beside Adrik on the sofa.
