Sold To An Alpha

"Hmm... I see. Well, if you're not ready to let them know, then you can just tell them you dyed your hair." Adrik suggested with an optimistic smile on his face, and Leia immediately shook her head in disapproval. "Adrik, that won't work at all. Right from when I was a kid, I always hated dyes for no reason, and they know that. So what do you think will happen if I tell them that I dyed my hair? They obviously won't believe me." She shook her head and brought her legs to her chest, then wrapped her arms around them.

A low sigh left Adrik's nose, and he rubbed his forehead. "Little wife, I will still tell you to let them know. If they are really your best friends, they will accept you for who you are and will stay, but if they don't, then there is nothing we can do about it." He gently tugged her closer to him and cuddled her tightly. "Take a rest, and I promise, everything will be okay in the morning." He kissed her on the forehead before laying her down further in the bed. He got in beside her and wrapped his arms around her body, then yanked her closer to him and cuddled her.

Leia buried her face in his chest and shut her eyes, then gradually drifted off to sleep.

{Monday, 10:54 am}

Adrik walked out of the dressing room swathed in white pants and a white sweater, his feet covered in pristine white shoes.

He strolled towards the table and sat down on the chair. Leia, who was dressed in tight blue jeans and a white casual shirt, helped him out with combing and packing his hair, and when she was done, he stood up from the chair with a big smile on his face.

He turned to face her and leaned down, placing a long, soft kiss on her lips. "Take care of yourself, okay. And call me if anything goes wrong." He smiled lovingly at her, and Leia nodded before embracing him tightly. "I love you." 

"I love you too." Adrik nuzzled her neck and pulled back from the hug, then kissed her forehead one more time before finally leaving. 

Leia watched as he shut the door behind him and a low breath exited her nose. 

She walked to the table and glanced at herself through the mirror. An irritated expression emerged on her face as she glimpsed the half part of her hair that was silver-colored, and she proceeded to cover it. However, no matter how hard she tried, it seemed impossible. 

Frustrated, she angrily threw the spray bottle in her hand at the mirror, instantly shattering it into pieces. "Shit!!" Her eyes fluttered in realization at what she had done, and she hurriedly began to clean it up. However, in the process, she mistakenly cut her hand so deeply that blood began to seep out rapidly.

"Ahh!" She took deep breaths to calm herself down, then called for the maids to clean up the mess.

She strolled to the bathroom and took the first aid kit from the cabinet, then patiently treated herself and wrapped a bandage around her palm. She returned the kit to the cabinet and walked out of the bathroom.

She glanced at the maids cleaning up the mess and, without uttering a single word, ambled into the dressing room and shut the door behind her, then strolled past the clothing.

She halted when she spotted Adrik's cream-colored hoodie, which she had been admiring for a while now. She took her shirt off and slid into a small white tube, then wore the hoodie on top of it. She adjusted it and pulled the cap over her head, covering her hair. 

A half-smile emerged on her face, and she slid into her white trainers. With all that done, she proceeded out of the dressing room.

Her eyes darted around when she saw that the room was once again as clean as it was before, but the mirror was missing. She slightly shook her head and walked towards the mini table beside their bed.

She pulled its drawer open and grabbed the key to the Lamborghini, then shut it.

Leia strolled out of the room and shut the door behind her. She used the elevator to make her way downstairs, and with her hands stuffed into the pocket of the hoodie, she ambled towards the car. 

She unlocked it and stepped in, then closed the door and inserted the key. She turned it to the ignition point and activated the car's engine. 

Slowly but steadily, she reversed the car and smoothly drove out of the compound and onto the road. 

Deep breaths kept exiting her nose as she drove and her grip on the steering wheel became strong as anxiousness took over her.

She slowed down the car after an hour as she arrived near Victor's second apartment. She carefully drove in and parked the car, then stepped down and shut the door, locking it afterward.

She shoved the key into her pocket and took a long, deep breath before walking into the building.

She sauntered towards the elevator and ambled in, then it took her to the second floor, and she stepped out when the door pushed open.

She wandered towards Victor's apartment and halted in front of his door. She lifted her knuckles and left three light knocks on them.

A few seconds passed before the door creaked open and a smiling Keisha came into view. Before she could anticipate what would happen next, Kiesha yanked her into a hug and embraced her tightly. "Girl, I missed you!"

Leia chuckled softly and hugged her back. "I missed you too." She pulled away from the hug and walked into the apartment, then Keisha shut the door and followed behind her.

Her eyes fell on James, who sat beside Victor with their gazes fixed on the laptop. 

"Guys." They instantly turned to look at her, and James moved to yank her into a warm hug.. It's been weeks since they last saw each other.
