Sold To An Alpha

The early morning sun shone brightly the next day and showered its rays through the window on the couple who lay hugging each other.

Leia blinked her eyes open and a yawn escaped her slim lips. She rubbed her eyes and her gaze fell on Adrik, who was still sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face, as though he was having a nice dream.

'This is the first time he has stayed beside me till I woke up.' Leia smiled to herself, as she thought, with her cheek a bit red, and raised her hand to caress his face. 

She stroked his cheek and gently removed the strands of hair that fell over his face and tucked them behind his ear.

 She glanced at his long hair that was scattered on the bed and suddenly found it unique and lovely.

She stared at his lengthy lashes, which looked so beautiful when he closed his eyes, and she felt quite envious. 'I will cut them one day.' Her lips curled into a grin as she thought, and she traced her fingers over his scars. A pessimistic expression emerged on her face but was immediately replaced by a smile.

"You look very beautiful, no matter what." She cupped his cheek and leaned in to kiss his forehead, but suddenly stopped as her eyes fell on his red lips. 

Leia drew back a bit and nipped her lip. She moved her hand to his brims and used her thumb to trace his lower lip, 'damn.' She clicked her tongue and cursed inwardly as the urge to kiss him arose within her. She swallowed and stared at his lips for a while. Just what will it be like to kiss him? She thought and licked her lips with narrowed eyes.

Then, as though having mustered enough courage, she slowly began to lean in and gradually shut her eyes. However, the moment their lips were about to touch, Adrik's eyes sprang open, "Little wife." His voice sounded, causing Leia to open her eyes and immediately flinch away from his arm. She sat up on the bed and coughed as though a fishbone was stuck in her throat.

"Good morning." She said this without even glancing at him.

Adrik's lips curled into a smile, and he also sat up on the bed. "Little wife, what were you trying to do earlier?" He asked and turned her head so she could look at him.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She snatched her face from his hand and proceeded to climb down from the bed. However, Adrik grabbed her by the waist and pinned her down on the bed. "I asked a question, little wife." He grinned slyly as he stared at her.

"I will burst your ass if you don't get your hands off me!" Leia's eyes narrowed, and she kicked his leg. 

"Oh, I don't want to get my ass bursted." Adrik chuckled softly and got off her. He stepped down from the bed and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

Leia puckered her face and climbed down from the bed. She folded her hands and proceeded to walk to the bathroom.

She came out wrapped up in a white towel after she was done showering. Her brow creased when she saw Adrik still seated on the couch with his phone in hand, and she clicked her tongue.

She walked up to him and snatched the phone away. "Little wife." Adrik raised his eyes only to see her standing with her arms akimbo and his lashes fluttered in confusion.

"Go and have your shower; we need to go down and eat. I'm hungry." She glared at him.

"Okay, but let me finish something up." Adrik proceeded to take the phone back from her, but Leia flinched back and her eyes dwindled. "What exactly are you doing?" She raised the phone and tried to turn it on. "Let me take a look."

Adrik's eyes dilated when he heard her words, and he immediately stood up and snatched the phone from her, causing Leia to blink her eyes in confusion. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion and gazed intently at him. What is he hiding?

"Little wife, you can either wait for me to take a shower or go before me." He smiled at her and stuffed the phone into the pocket of his robe. He proceeded to walk to the bathroom, but suddenly turned around and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Leia's eyes blinked, and she smiled sheepishly as her cheek turned a shade of red. She took a low breath and strolled to the closet, then opened the door and walked in.

They finished up in a few minutes and, dressed up in nice clothing, then they both made their way downstairs.

Walking beside Adrik at the same pace, Leia abruptly asked. "Why put in those stairs when no one actually uses them?"

"Little wife, which house comes with no stairs?" Adrik glanced at her and they took their seats at the dining table.

Leia stared at him for a while with a raised brow and shook her head. "Anyway, if only it wasn't too long, I would have used it." She shrugged and smelled the aroma of the food that the maids were currently setting on the table.

"You're quite gluttonous, little wife, that I wonder why you aren't chubby." Adrik inquired, his arms folded, and a smirk emerged on his face with amusement apparent on it.

Leia raised her eyes to gaze at him and clicked her tongue in annoyance. "Who knows? ha, ha, ha." She fake laughed and returned her gaze to the delicious food in front of her.

Adrik relaxed back in the chair with his hands still folded and stared at her while she gobbled down her food.

"Aren't you going to eat?" She stopped eating when she felt his intent gaze on her and raised her eyes to glance at him.

Adrik smiled at her and picked up a spoon, then he filled his plate up and stared at Leia with a look that said, "Happy now?"

Lei nodded her head at him and continued to eat her food.
