Sold To An Alpha

Escaping the reporters and crowds that were seeking answers, Adrik and Leia returned home, and they couldn't help but chuckle as they stared at each other.

Leia slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped onto his body. Adrik encircled his arms around her back to keep her from falling and nuzzled her neck.

He walked towards the bed with her in his arms and bent down, letting her back land on the soft king-sized bed. He pressed his hands down on the bed, on either side of her head, and gazed down at her.

"Leia-" His deep voice said her name for the first time, and her heart fluttered in bliss. "I can't-"

"No Adrik." She shook her head, cupping his cheek with her hands and staring into his green eyes with desire burning in hers. "Please. I want you...all of you. I need you..." She sensually brushed her lips against his.

Adrik's eyes fluttered, and red sparks slowly began to emerge in his eyes. He gazed down at her and one of his hands touched her cheek. 

He caressed it with his thumb and leaned down, pressing his soft, plump lips on hers. He kissed her slowly and tenderly, and his lips sought out her neck, nipping at every inch of skin. Deep breaths escaped from his nose as he inhaled her sweet scent.

A gasp of pleasure left Leia's lips as he sucked gently on her sweet spot, and she couldn't help but shut her eyes in utmost euphoria. 

Her skin felt like it was on fire, burning in flames, and only Adrik would be able to soothe it. 

The way he savored every inch of her neck and shoulder was so incredibly slow that she suddenly felt very annoyed within her. She wants him!

Her arms abruptly wrapped around him and she pulled him down so their bodies would touch, and the minute his body crashed with hers, as though realizing something, Adrik instantly stopped and got off her.

Leia's heart arched, and frustration built up within her as she felt very angry. Her face darkened, and the moment she saw Adrik about to stand up from the bed, she grabbed him by the wrist and stood up from bed.

She walked to stand in front of him, and her chest rose and fell in fury. "What the hell was that?! Why are you doing this to me?!" She questioned him, her hand balling into a tight fist.

"Leia, listen, I-"

"You what?!!! You what, Adrik?" Her face darkened more and breaths of rage kept escaping from her nose. "Am I not enough or am I not beautiful enough for your taste? Tell me, instead of doing this to me!"

"You just fucking told me you love me, but you rejected me right here, just like you did that day. Why?!!!"

"Calm down, Leia."

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down!!! Do you even know how much this hurts me? How many insecurities have built up within me?!"

You make me feel like I'm not good enough, or that I'm not up to those women... just why?!! If you don't want me, why the hell did you say you love me? If I was not enough for you, why give me this ring?" She raised her hand, pointing at the ring, her face altered in pain.

"You know, you could have just told me you don't want me, instead of hurting me this-" She hadn't finished her sentence when Adrik's hands abruptly grabbed her shoulder and pinned her to the wall. 

He punched his balled fist near her head on the wall, and his breathing became heavy and rapid as he gazed at her face. "How could you say that?" His face darkened and he harshly cupped her cheek.

"I will never love any other woman apart from you, and yes, you are good enough for me and the most beautiful woman I have ever met."

"Then why ar-"

"You don't understand!" He punched his fist on the wall yet again, and he shut his eyes as his breathing became unsteady. "Leia..." He opened his eyes, which were completely golden, to stare at her, and Leia's eyes fluttered in disbelief.

"Your eyes..."

"You don't know who I am and-"

"Then tell me, I want to know!" Leia cut him off, and her eyes blinked in curiosity. She reached out her hand and cupped his cheek. "Adrik, if this really is not you, then tell me who you really are. Let me know." She said it gently to him and stroked his cheek.

Adrik gazed deep into her eyes for a while and slowly shook his head. "I can't. It's not something I can just say to you. I am afraid to lose you and I don't want to, not now, not after all that I went through just to have you love me. I can't lose you." He lowered his head in utmost defeat and helplessness and stepped away from her.

"And do you think that by keeping it from me, you will have me stay with you?" Adrik halted on his steps the moment he heard those words and turned around to stare at her.

"Do you believe that? Adrik." She raised her brow at him in a questioning manner, and when she got no answer from him, she shook her head. u "Just... what exactly are you hiding from me, that is restraining you from touching me even when you know very well that you want to!" She began to walk towards him as she said and gazed deeply into his eyes. "Tell me the truth, or trust me, you may never see-"

"You want to know the truth!" He stepped forward to leave only an inch of distance between the two of them, and his hand clenched and unclenched in deep frustration.

"Yes, I want to know the truth!! You can't claim you love me and keep me in the-"

"I am a beast, Leia!!" He yelled at her face, grabbing her shoulder harshly and gazing down at her with eyes filled with guilt. 

Leia's eyes fluttered in confusion, and she stared at him unmoving. She watched him lower his head in helplessness, and she reached out to touch him. "Adrik, if you are talking about your scars, I have-" She hadn't finished her sentence when Adrik abruptly raised his head, and the minute she saw his face, her heart leaped to her throat and she immediately flinched back, losing her balance and falling on her butt.

"You.." She parted her lips to say something, but nothing came out, and her trembling finger pointed at him.

Adrik, who was breathing heavily, stared at her and glanced down at his hands, only to see his nails stretched out.

He used his tongue to trace his teeth, only to realize that his fangs had elongated. His eyes fluttered and he lowered his gaze down at Leis, who was still staring at him with a look of horror on her face. Fuck!!! He didn't want to show her this way, but right then, he was fighting with his wolf, trying to keep him from breaking out, but he still did in the end.

What was he going to say to her now? He stepped forward to her, but Leia instantly flinched back, creating a bit of distance between them.. Her lips trembled, and she slightly shook her head in disbelief. This is not real, right?
