Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 206

He assured her as he saw how much she was sweating and the horrid look in her eyes. His brows creased deeply, and he turned her so she could face him, then stared deeply into her orifices.

Leia blinked twice as she breathed heavily, trying to recollect herself.

“Little…wife.” He tenderly caressed her cheek, and Leia’s eyes fluttered furiously.

“Adrik…” She called his name, and he cupped her cheek with a smile on his lips. “I am here, little wife. It’s all just a nightmare.” He softly comforted her and unexpectedly, Leia wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly. “Please don’t ever leave me.” She pleaded in a cracked voice, which indicated she was crying, and Adrik drew her back to stare at her face.

“Why are you crying, little wife? You know, I will never leave you, no matter what.” He wiped off the tears in her eyes and face, and then pulled her into his arms, embracing her lovingly. “Why would you think that I would ever leave you? Have you forgotten that I love you and can’t live without you?” He inquired in a soft, soothing tone, and Leia’s arms around him tightened.

Adrik’s lashes flickered in a bit of confusion as he couldn’t understand why Leia was acting like this. Just, what sort of nightmare did she have that got her this scared? A deep breath fled from his nose and he tenderly kissed her head, then began to caress her arms, curling her in his arms to help her fall asleep.

Leia continued to breathe unsteadily as she couldn’t seem to calm down. Adrik, feeling too concerned about her state, drew her back and gently cupped her cheek.

“Little wife, what is going on? Why are you afraid that I will leave you?” He implored with deep concern in his tone, but Leia, however, spoke not a single word but just stared at him with deep fear in her eyes.

“Little wife… say something to me.” He stared deep into her eyes, hoping she would say something, but Leia uttered not a single word.

What Adrik was asking her, she had no answer to. Yes, she knows she had a nightmare, but the weird thing was that she can’t remember what happened in that dream. It was as though her memory of that dream was wiped off. The only thing she knows is that Adrik left her. She doesn’t know how or why, but she could feel it. She could feel his distance at that moment she woke up, and that’s why she screamed his name and hugged him tightly, begging him not to leave her.

“Little wife…” A deep breath exited Adrik’s nose when he got no response from her and he climbed down from the king-sized bed.

He pulled her towards him and carried her in his arms, then proceeded towards the bathroom. Currently, it is 2:30 pm.

He filled up the bathtub and gently laid her inside, then began to bathe her. Hopefully, this would help release her from the state she was in at that moment.

It took a few minutes before he was done, and he wrapped her up in a towel, then took her out of the bathroom, and had her sit down at the edge of the bed. He walked into the dressing room, grabbed his white shirt and a pair of white shorts from her side, and walked back to her in the bedroom.

He helped her slide into them and buttoned up the shirt for her, then planted a soft kiss on her forehead and hugged her gently. “Do you feel better now? I wanted you to wear my shirt if that would make you feel better.” He nuzzled her neck, and Leia nodded at him.

“Do you want to sleep now or do you want to listen to music?” He inquired, and Leia drew back from the hug to look at him. “I don’t want to sleep now.” She shook her head at him, and he smiled at her, then walked her to the sofa and sat down. He had her seat down on his lap, and cuddled her up, then gently began to stroke her hair.

“Alexa, play soft music,” Adrik commanded, and the gadget responded by playing random soothing music.

A relaxing breath fled from Leia’s nose, and she cuddled up to him more, then shut her eyes. Adrik kissed her head and then gently caressed her face. “I love you, little wife.” He said this with a half-smile on his lips and shut his eyes.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and they woke up in that position on the couch. Leia blinked her eyes open and proceeded to get up from his body, but Adrik’s arms, which were wrapped around her waist, prevented her from doing so.

“Adrik…”

“How was your sleep?” Adrik blinked his eyes open and a smile emerged on his face as he inquired.

Leia smiled at him and couldn’t help but hug him tightly. “I will die without you, Adrik.” She took deep breaths and Adrik stroked her back gently, then drew her back so he could look at her face. “Come, let’s go and fill up your belly. You look a little bit skinny this morning.” He said as his eyes examined her.

“Huh? Seriously?” She hurriedly rose from his body and moved to check herself in the mirror, only to discover that Adrik was correct. She indeed had lost weight and looked quite skinny. “What the hell!” Her face puckered in deep confusion, and Adrik came up behind her in the mirror.

“Chill, little wife, you just need to eat, that’s all.” He smiled lovingly at her and Leia let out a soft sigh. They took their showers, and after dressing up in their home clothes, they made their way downstairs using the elevator and strolled to the dining room.

The maids served the food, and Leia didn’t waste any time before digging in.

As though recalling something, she turned her head to look at Adrik with a cute smile on her face.

“What? What’s with the smile on your face? ” Adrik dwindled his eyes in suspicion and Leia smiled sheepishly, revealing her jade-white teeth.

“It’s nothing more than that I have a request.” She playfully blinked her eyes, and Adrik raised his brow at her. “What is your request?”

“Um, that red wine in the fridge, could you buy another one, like it? I drank it last night and it was really good, so I-”

“Red wine?” Adrik’s brow raised in confusion, and he stared at her with a complicated look on his face.

“Yeah…. the one in the fridge,” Leia replied, a bit bewildered by Adrik’s bizarre reaction.
