Sold To An Alpha

With her eyes tightly shut, Leia waited to fall and drown in the water beneath the bridge. However, that never happened; rather, she felt herself floating in midair.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked down, only to see that she was still far from falling into the water. She raised her head to look up and see what was precluding her from falling.

Her blurry eyes flickered in confusion when she saw that it was a man's hand that was tightly holding onto her wrist. She fluttered her eyes to try and see his face, but he was blurry.

Adrik, who is currently holding onto her wrist, gritted his teeth and, with all his strength, he gripped Leia's wrist tightly and flipped her up into the air. He hurriedly drew back and gestured with his hands, letting her fall into his embrace.

He squatted down with Leia in his arms and caressed her wet hair. Why resort to suicide? Adrik couldn't help but ask himself as his eyes stared at the young girl in his arms. Why would a youthful girl like her resort to suicide? He caressed her cheek and tucked her wet hair behind her ear.

Leia blinked her eyes and tried to see Adrik's face, but her eyes were blurry, making it hard for her to glimpse his face. She reached out her hand to his face and gently touched him on the cheek. A smile formed on her lips, and she laughed softly. Her eyes became heavy and her long wet lashes blinked before she fell unconscious.

What amount of alcohol could she have drunk? Adrik gazed at the poor girl in his arms, and he shook his head. He turned his head around to see Alex standing beside him with an awkward look on his face.

A deep sigh escaped his lips as he stared at Leia. "Supreme Alpha... She's human."

Adrik nodded his head, and a soft sigh escaped his lips. Why is he given a human mate? He can't be the first Supreme Alpha with a human mate! He drew his head back in annoyance and took a long, deep breath.

"Supreme Alpha..." Alex proceeded to say something but swallowed the rest of his words when he saw Adrik's cold gaze on him.

"People are coming, let's go," Adrik's brow creased, and he gently laid Leia on the wet ground. He stood up and motioned for Alex to step back with him. They walked back to the car and gazed in the direction where Leia was lying down.

A few seconds later, a bus with a medical symbol on it packed a little distance away from the position where Leia lay unconscious. Six men swathed in doctor's clothing stepped down from the bus. They walked towards Leia and stared down at her.

One of the doctors who squatted down beside Leia turned his head to look at his co-worker. "She drank too much alcohol."

"Okay, let's take her back," With pity in his eyes, one of the doctors with short black raven hair looked at Leia.

They carried Leia up from the wet ground and took her to the bus. They started the bus engine and drove off.

From a far distance, Adrik gazed at the bus, which was slowly turning into a black dot, and his hand balled into a fist. He didn't want to leave her there, but he had to, and his reason for doing so is an important one. He took a deep breath and turned to Alex. "Find out everything about her and report it to me within a day." He glanced in the direction where the bus left minutes ago, and a soft sigh left his lips.

"A day!" Alex's eyes dilated and he couldn't help but feel bitter within him. He is beginning to think his Supreme Alpha hates him.

Adrik ignored him and walked to the side to enter the car. However, his eyes broadened a little. He just realized that he had kicked off the car door. He shook his head, and with a shrug, he entered the car. He wasn't going to walk back home.

Alex started the car's engine, and they drove off to their destination.

_______________

The bus arrived at the Adolpho mansion, and the doctors stepped off the bus. They carried Leia down and into the mansion.

Dressed in a fine robe, Mr. Adolpho walked out of his luxurious room and his eyes hatefully gazed at his unconscious daughter. "Stupid girl," he mumbled with a disdained look on his face and shook his head in annoyance. He motioned for his men to carry Leia up from the floor and follow him.

"Sir, please, she needs a good sleep. Her breathing is a little heavy, which means she's not in a good state," the doctor with black raven hair stated with concern in his eyes. From the way he stared at her, he knew that this man would do something bad to the poor girl. It's not that he's trying to chirp into a family matter, but he's just worried about the young girl.

Mr. Adolpho halted on his steps when he heard the doctor and turned around with his hands behind his back. "Excuse me," he said, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Uhm... I..." The doctor blinked nervously and lowered his head.

Mr. Adolpho intently gazed at the doctor for a while, and a slight grin crept onto his lips. He turned around and continued on his steps. His men followed behind him and walked up the stairs. They halted when he stopped in front of a wooden door.

He pushed the door open and waved his hand at his men, signaling for them to carry her into the room. His men nodded and hauled Leia into the room that resembled an attic. They laid her on the clean, but a little dusty, floor and walked out.

A wicked smile crept up Mr. Adolpho's lips as he stared at his daughter, who was lying on the cold floor. "I will show you who's boss," He shut the door and locked it. Then he turned around and left, with his men following behind.

He walked downstairs and ordered all the maids and his daughters to report to him immediately.

When they arrived, his eyes dangerously stared at them, causing them to tremble nervously. Their master never calls them unless something bad happens, and the way he's staring at them now tells them that something bad has happened.

Mr. Adolpho cleared his throat and folded his hands. "None of you is to give her food without my permission, understood?"He crossed his legs and his fingers caressed the armrest of the chair he was seated on.

They nodded at him with their heads lowered.

"If any of you dare go against my orders..." A dangerous smile formed on his lips, and he raised his eyes to glance at them. He stood up from the chair he was seated on and, with a turn, he left the living room, not bothering to elaborate any further.

The maids took a relieved breath when he left, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. They swallowed hard when they saw the fear in each other's eyes.

Standing behind her sister, Amy's hand balled into a fist and her face puckered. She turned around without saying a word and walked up to her room in anger. 

Jenny raised her brow in bewilderment as she watched her younger sister amble away with balled hands.. What is wrong with her? She thought with a grimaced face.
