Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 116

He glanced up, and without delay, he swam up and eventually got to the top, then stuck his head out and breathed in a lot of air.

His heart pounded rapidly within him, and in his raged mode, he commenced swimming out of the water.

The moment he walked out, he fell on the sand and rested on his back, his eyes gazing up to the sky.

A deep breath escaped his nose, and his face darkened the moment he heard that giggle. He immediately sat up and gazed at the young girl walking towards him.

Alex’s eyes fluttered, and he began to back away from her. “Wear something, for god’s sake!!” He covered his eyes as he yelled at her. Her upper body was entirely naked, with only her blue hair covering her small breasts. And from her waist down, she was wrapped up in a blue skirt that reached to the ground.

Alex opened his eyes after a minute to see her squatting down in front of him, and his heart skipped a bit. She reached out her hand to poke his face, and the moment she did that, something like electricity surged within their bodies and they flinched away from each other, creating a bit of distance.

Their hearts thumped heavily within them, and they stared intently at each other. The young girl knelt and crawled to him. She touched him again and the sparks rushed through their bodies, causing them to tremble.

Alex swallowed hard and straightened up, then gazed into her blue eyes. His heart fluttered within him, and there he knew she was his mate. His father had told him about the sparks when he was still very young, and he recognized it just the way his father explained it.

The young girl blinked her eyes in bewilderment at the way he was staring at her, and a smile couldn’t help but emerge on her face.

Warmth built up in Alex’s heart and he couldn’t help but smile back at her as he complimented her beauty in his heart. The first things he loved about her were her large, cute blue eyes and her lovely, unique blue hair. Should he say that everything about her was unique?

He chuckled within him and raised his gray eyes to stare at her cheerful face. However, unexpectedly, the young girl jumped on him, hugging him tightly and resting her head on his shoulder.

Her bare upper body pressed against his clothed one, and his eyes couldn’t help but throb.

He proceeded to pull away from the hug but halted when he heard her whisper into his ear. “We are mates.” She squealed like a little child, and the urge to laugh overwhelmed him.

He drew her back and had her sit down on the ground, then gazed into her eyes. “I know we are mates, but why are you happy?” He asked, and the young girl’s eyes blinked in contemplation, as she tapped her finger on her plump red lips.

“Hmm. well… I have a handsome mate. So yes, I am happy.” She shrugged and her lips twisted funnily as she gazed at his shocked face. “What is wrong?” She asked him, but Alex shook his head at her. “It’s nothing. What is your name? ”

“Alesea.” The young girl replied sharply in the most melodic and absorbing voice he had ever heard in his life. Everything about her hooked him.

“You have a beautiful name.” He complimented her, and the young girl giggled gaily. “Thank you, and what’s your name?” She moved closer to him, so they were only two inches apart.

“Um, my name is Alex.” He answered, and the young girl poked his forehead with her finger.

A smile emerged on his face, and he abruptly cleared his throat. “Could you, um, put on some clothing?”

The young girl looked down at her bare upper body and shook her head at him. “I don’t really have any clothing.” She gazed at him, and Adrik slightly nodded at her in understanding.

He grabbed the hem of his top and pulled it off of him, then helped her wear it. “Mhm, better now.” He nodded and gave her a thumbs-up.

The young girl’s eyes glowed with appreciation, and she squealed in a low tone. “Thank you, “she jumped on him and hugged him once more, before pulling back and sitting down on the ground.

They sat that way for a few hours, and when Adrik was ready to leave, he bade her goodbye. “Will you come to see me again?” She asked him in a tone that held a bit of pleading, and Alex nodded at her. “I will.” He smiled and waved at her, then, in an extraordinarily rapid spread, he sprinted off, disappearing.

….

Alex’s hands clenched and unclenched in pain, and he took deep breaths. His wolf howled bitterly within him, and a deep growl erupted from his throat.

He turned around and whisked off in the direction Alesea had left from without further thought or hesitation.

His eyes nervously darted around as he searched for her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

He halted and glanced around him. As he felt suffocated, tired, angry, and hurt, his heart thumped heavily within him, and lines of veins appeared at his neck. So many emotions were rippling inside of him. He needed to find her! He must find her.

His nose twitched violently as he smelled her, and he bolted in the direction he scented her from.

He ran a few distances and finally found her walking further with her arms wrapped tightly around her body. Seeing her trembling body, he could already tell that she was crying heavily.

His eyes flickered, and without any delay, he rushed up to her and hugged her from behind, tightly curling his arms around her. “Alesea.” He whispered her name so tenderly, her body shuddered and she became motionless. This was the first time in so many years that he had spoken her name with such a voice. She had even forgotten this voice existed because…

She shut her eyes and inhaled deeply, then broke away from his embrace and turned to stare at him with her teary eyes. “What do you want?! I have accepted your rejection, so what now? Do you want to break me, compl-” She was yet to finish her sentence when Alex abruptly grabbed her by the waist and pinned her against the tree. He stared into her blue eyes and before she could anticipate anything, he gently grabbed her by the cheek and covered her lips with his.

Alesea’s eyes widened in shock, and her body stilled. He was… kissing her. But why? Why now, after she accepted his rejection? Is he playing with her? Her face darkened, and she proceeded to push him off, but Alex grabbed both her hands and pinned them on either side of her on the tree.

His kiss wasn’t lustful nor passionate, but it was something else. It was as though he was pleading with her. He was begging her.

“Alesea…” He breathed her name against her wet lips and caressed her cheek with his hand. “Alesea…” He whispered her name yet again and placed his forehead on hers.

“Alex—” She proceeded to speak, but he hushed her by placing his fingers on her lips and gazing into her eyes.

Alesea stared at his teary eyes, and her lashes blinked in confusion. Why is he crying? Is he doing it on purpose and trying to hurt her?

Her face darkened a bit in displeasure, and she snatched her hands from his grip, then began to punch his chest in pain and anger. “Why Alex? Why are you doing this to me? I have accepted your rejection and promised to never bother you again! Why do you still want to hurt me? ” She punched him for the last time, and as she gazed up at his face, seeking answers, Alex uttered not a word, and just stared at her with teary eyes.

Alesea became angry and pushed him away, proceeding to leave. He, however, grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her back, pinning her against the tree. “You are not! Leaving me! ” He emphasized every word, and Alesea gaped at him, stunned.

“Alex, let me go!” She wailed at him and tried to get out of his grasp, but Alex held tightly onto her.

“I said, you’re not leaving me! You’re only mine, no one else’s! ” He yelled at her, and Alesea’s body trembled. She stilled and gazed up into his eyes.

“Am… only yours?” She chuckled at his words before her face switched to that of a raging one. “If I was only yours, then why?! Why were you rejecting me?! Why were you keeping your distance from me as though I was some kind of disease? Why were you-”

“I love you, Alesea!” He slammed her against the tree and grabbed her chin harshly. “Alesea, I love you more than you can imagine!! I have loved you for hundreds of years!! I have loved you from the very first day I met you at the ocean, and believe me, I never stopped!! “
