Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 128

Adrik and Leia arrived home and made their way to their room. They spent a lot of time doing their thing. Adrik, handling his paperwork and working on his laptop. Leia, busy on her phone and grabbing a few snacks to fill her empty stomach.

They took a quick shower after all that, and Leia tucked into bed beside Adrik. He encircled his arms around her and gently caressed her hair.

A deep breath escaped Leia’s nose, and she raised her head to stare at him. “Adrik, you still haven’t told me why you are against Mr. Robert using my blood for the test.” She reminded him, and Adrik gazed down at her.

He breathed softly and cupped her cheek. “Little wife-” He said, his eyes fluttered and he smiled at her “-You do remember that we have been seeing a few things that state that you’re not normal. I mean, we are not sure what you really are, but I am a hundred percent sure that you’re not a normal human.”

“These past few days, I have been trying to figure out what you could be or-”

“Do you think I’m a supernatural as well?” She raised her brow at him, and Adrik nodded at her.

“Yes, Your nails grew so long that it’s enough evidence to prove you’re not just a human, but something else.” He smiled as he nodded to her, and Leia pinched between her brows.

She took a deep breath, and as though recalling something, her brow creased. She slowly sat up on the bed and turned to stare at Adrik.

Adrik’s eyes fluttered in confusion, and he smiled at her. “Why are you looking at me like that little wife?”

“Adrik, what other, um, signs indicate that you’re not normal and… might be supernatural?” She smiled awkwardly as she asked him, and Adrik darted his eyes around.

“Well, your fangs might appear, sensitivity, extraordinary speed, teleportation, keen eyesight, very fast healing, a strong m-”

“Fast healing! Fast healing!!” She abruptly yelled as she snapped her fingers, and Adrik turned his head to look at her. “What’s wrong?”

“When I was still in high school, at age sixteen, I got hurt while fighting with a student. It wasn’t a deep cut, but just a scratch on my skin. However, when I got home and tried to change into my home clothing, I suddenly glanced at my arm only to realize that the cut was gone. No scar or anything, it was just gone, like I didn’t even get hurt in the first place.” She narrated, and Adrik’s eyes narrowed.

“I thought it might be my imagination, so I shrugged it off. However, I got hurt yet again and it was a cut from the knife I was using. I had my hand wrapped up in a bandage and unwrapped it when I woke up the next morning. However, expecting to see a fresh cut, what I saw was my delicate palm devoid of anything like a scar. It was just like… I don’t know. I was scared to hell and had to tell my mum, but she covered the whole thing up and asked me to forget about it.” She took a deep breath and pinched between her brows. “I knew something was wrong, but I couldn’t do anything. I had no one to give me answers or clues.”

“You know, I was able to get these tattoos six days after getting whipped because it healed at a rapid pace. It was such a deep wound that I was even bleeding, but it healed within six days. I was curious and surprised then, but my mind was still crowded with rage and hatred for my father. I threw everything behind me and forgot about it.” She let out a low sigh and relaxed into Adrik’s arms.

Adrik slightly nodded his head and traced his hand up and down her arm. “Well, this is enough to remove every doubt from your heart. You are absolutely not normal, and I need to figure out exactly what you are. ”

“It really doesn’t make sense to me, Adrik. I mean, both my parents are humans, so how could I be different?” Her brow creased, and Adrik slightly shook his head at her.

“Little wife, we are yet to know if they truly are your parents. Well, I believe your mum is your real mother since you do resemble her a bit. But I strongly doubt that your father is your biological father. I mean, you look nothing like him. Not even a little bit.” Adrik breathed softly and placed a soft kiss on her head. “Till the test comes out, we will know the truth then.”

“Mhmm… oh, you are still yet to tell me why you didn’t allow Mr. Robert to use my blood.” Leia nodded and raised her eyes to gaze at him.

“Oh yeah, Well, as I said, you’re definitely not a human, so if he extracts your blood and does some scanning on it, he might detect something different in your blood compared to that of a human. Then start doing some stupid tests and figure something out.” Adrik explained, and Leia’s lashes flickered in shock. “Do you mean that your blood right now is different from that of a human?”

“Yes, same as my heartbeat.” He cupped her cheek and placed her head near his chest.

Leia’s ears throbbed as his quick heartbeat drummed in her ears. She pulled back and gazed at his face. “Why is your heart beating so fast?”

“It’s not fast though.” Adrik chuckled at her as he stared at her face. “It’s fast compared to humans, but for us nonhumans, it’s a steady heartbeat. It only beats at a very rapid state when we run, because we run at an extraordinary speed. ” He explained, and Leia nodded at him.

“Hmmm, since I’m not normal, why isn’t my heart beating as promptly as yours?” She asked, and Adrik stroked his jaw.

“I’m not sure as I don’t know what exactly you are, but if we do figure it out soon, I might know why.” He shrugged and she nodded at him.

She leaned down and laid on his body, then curled her arms around him. “I do hope to get my questions answered soon. My head feels like it might explode if I don’t.”

Adrik chuckled at her and gently caressed her, drawing circles on her back. “Don’t worry, you will. Once the time comes, everything will be revealed to you. Right now, you just have to take everything step by step.” He patted her on the back and tucked her hair behind her ears.

Leia nodded and leaned in to place a soft kiss on his lips. “I love you.”

“I love you too.” He replied and curdled her tightly, then they shut their eyes and drifted off to sleep.

A plane landed in one of the airports in Europe, Greece, and a young man clad in black pants and a long black suit jacket stepped down with his luggage being carried by his men, who were already awaiting his return at the airport.

His eyes darted around, and the breeze blew on his fine, not-so-short brown hair. He brushed it back with his fingers and breathed in the fresh air with a warm smile on his pink lips.

“I’m back in Europe!” He yelled as he twirled around and took a deep breath.

“Welcome back, young master Robert.” His men bowed deeply at him, and he nodded cheerfully at them.

“Take me to the hotel. I shall visit my mother tomorrow.” His men nodded at him and began to lead him to a black SUV that was just parked nearby. They pulled the door open for him, and he stepped in. Then they shut the door.

They loaded his luggage into the boot, then two of his men took their seats in the driver’s seat, while the others boarded the second SUV and followed behind them as they drove out of the airport.

The young man’s eyes gazed outward through the window, and he admired the beauty of Europe. The streetlights were on and brightened up the road.

He couldn’t help but take another deep breath and recline in his chair.

A smile emerged on his face, and he shut his eyes.

The car finally slowed down when they arrived at a huge five-star hotel whose body screamed rich and expensive. They carefully drove into the compound and parked the car in the parking lot.

The two men seated at the front immediately stepped down and opened the door for the young man. “Young master, we have arrived.” One of them announced it, and he opened his eyes. He glanced at the edifice through the glass of the car and nodded.

He stepped down from the car and shoved his hands into his pocket, then stood still to stare at the building.

His other men that were following behind using the other car arrived too and drove into the compound.. They parked the car and stepped down, then moved to help the other two unload their young master’s luggage.
