Sold To An Alpha

Swathed in a pristine white suit, Adrik sat on the sofa in the living room with a gray mask covering half of his face, as usual, leaving his emerald green eyes visible. His raven black hair, which was combed neatly and perfectly fell over his shoulder to his waist. He stared at Mr. Adolpho, who sat opposite him, with his pitch-black eyes, also staring at him. "Where is your daughter?" Adrik's face darkened a little.

"She will be down in a minute." Mr. Adolpho smiled awkwardly and glanced at the middle-aged man with a black suitcase on his lap, seated beside Adrik.

As the clock ticked and the time enacted, cold sweat dripped down Mr. Adolpho's back, and his hand secretly balled into a fist. 'I will kill this girl,' he thought, with a slight grimace on his face.

Just when he was about to send someone else to fetch Leia, Adrik's nose suddenly twitched, and he sat up straight on the sofa. His eyes gazed intently at the long, wide stairs, and his wolf's breathing became unsteady.

[She's here] Kai stated with an excited tone, and Adrik's eyes changed to red and then back to green almost at the same time.

He slowly nodded his head without averting his gaze from the stairs. Alex, who sat beside him on the sofa, also peered at the stairs with great intent in his eyes.

From up the long stairs, a young girl dressed in a short, pristine white sleeveless dress with a white veil covering her face gracefully walked down the stairs. Behind her stood another young girl with a slender body dressed in a red body-hug dress, displaying her curves.

With her expressionless face hidden under the veil, Leia carefully ambled down the stairs with a flower in her hand. She finally stopped when her leg moved from the last step to the floor. She raised her head and glanced at her father, and a half-smile formed on her lips.

Mr. Adolpho clenched his fist in a rage, and his face frowned deeply. What was this girl wearing? Where was the expensive dress that he ordered for her? He took a deep breath and glanced at Amy, who stood beside Leia, but Amy looked up to the ceiling, avoiding his stare. Mr. Adolpho nodded his head furiously, clearly annoyed.

Leia precluded her vicious stare from her father the moment she felt an intent gaze on her, which sent some sort of feelings to her body.

Her brows furrowed, and she glanced to the other side with a darkened face. The instant she glanced in the direction the gaze was coming from, her eyes fell on a young man dressed in a pristine white suit and white shoes, with his hands yanked into her pocket. Her eyes fluttered in awe at how godlike he looked, outfitted in complete white. 

She trailed her eyes to the gray mask covering half of his face and stopped on his eyes, his emerald green eyes.

Her brows arched, and she stood still with her stares fixed on him. She had never seen a human being with green eyes before; this was her first time.

While Leia was scrutinizing him, Adrik was also assessing her. He had seen her before, but something looked completely different about her, right now he's looking at her. His eyes trailed from her covered face to her body and stopped on the flowery tattoos all over her upper arm and shoulder. His brow creased, and he gazed back at her pitch-black eyes.

When he had requested one of Mr. Adolpho's daughters, he already knew that she was the one that would be given to him, which is why he was not surprised in the slightest.

"Ehem!!" The middle-aged man, who is naturally the lawyer, coughed and motioned for the both of them to have a seat on the long sofa.

Leia walked over and sat down. Adrik also sat down beside her. However, Leia abruptly shifted, creating a little distance between her and him. Adrik's face turned a few shades darker, and he glanced at her with a furrowed brow.

Leia kept a straight face, as though she was not aware that someone was looking at her. Mr. Adolpho blinked his eyes and an awkward smile formed on his face as he watched the two. His only concern here is for Adrik not to get angry over his daughter's behavior and cancel the contract.

Jenny, who sat beside their father, nudged Amy, sitting beside her, on the arm with a smirk on her face. Amy's face darkened, and she angrily glared at Jenny. She understood the meaning behind Jenny's action.

"Shall we begin?" The lawyer gazed at Leia and Adrik through the glass that was placed low on his nose.

Adrik nodded and secretly peeked at Leia, seated a little distance from him. Leia also turned her head at the same time, and her cold eyes met with his. They glanced at each other and stood up from the couch. They made their way over to the lawyer and sat in two chairs in front of his table.

The lawyer placed a document in front of them and handed a pen to Adrik. He motioned for him to fill in the blanks on the paper.

Adrik leaned down and proceeded to fill the blanks in the sheet. Leia secretly peeked at the sheet, and her eyes couldn't help but broaden a little under the veil when she saw the number written on the age blank.

'He's thirty.' She thought with a grimaced face. He looked younger than that to her. Her eyes peaked at Adrik, who was still busy filling the paper, and her brow furrowed a little. Is he lying about his age? He looks 24 to 25 to her, not thirty, although he's quite tall and she doesn't doubt her head won't even make it to his jaw.

The lawyer passed the pen to Leia when Adrik was done, and she leaned down to fill her blank. Adrik didn't bother to peek as he already knew her age from Alex's report.

When Leia was through with filling in the blanks, the lawyer asked them to exchange rings, and they did. Adrik pulled the veil up from her face, and his eyes stilled. Was this still the girl he saw that day? She looked different now. Compared to the way she looked that day, she looked badass and more beautiful now.. Her hair was so short with tattoos that started from her neck and stopped at God knows where.
