Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 221

“I feel the same.” Victor’s eyes blinked twice, and Kiesha slowly nodded as she too, also felt the same.

“Baby girl, since when did you start believing in magic? Don’t tell me that you’re serious about what you’re saying.” Leia lowered her head in helplessness as Kiesha’s lashes fluttered vigorously. They are acting this way when she has just told them the light part. What will happen when she gets to the main part? She questioned herself and pinched between her brows.

“Leia… what is going on?” Victor inquired in a worried tone, and when he got no answer from her, he moved to take a seat beside her on the sofa. “Okay, fine, we believe you, but we want to understand why and how it’s possible. This is something we have never seen or heard of, so it’s kind of unbelievable to us.” He explained it to her and she slowly lifted her head to stare at them.

“I will tell you guys everything, but…you must promise not to freak out or run away from me.” She said, with a pleading look in her eyes.

The three exchanged glances and assured her with a nod of their heads. “We won’t.” They smiled at her, and a half-smile emerged on her lips.

She cleared her throat and began to fiddle with her hands. “So… as I said, I really didn’t dye my hair; it changed to this color on its own.”

“Okay…” They slowly bobbed at her, seeming to have a little belief in what she said, as they knew that Leia was not the kind that would make up something silly.

“Not just that… but-” Leia paused and stared at them for a moment before parting her lips to continue. “-I am very different from you guys.”

The three drew their heads back the instant the word exited her mouth and their lashes fluttered vigorously. “What… do you mean?” Kiesha inquired, and the others gazed intently at Leia, as they were beginning to feel very worried about her behavior.

Leia stared intently at them as though trying to read them, and after a few seconds, she inhaled and exhaled deeply. “Please don’t freak out.” With that being said, a deep breath exited her nose and her gums began to itch, including her fingers.

Slowly but steady, before their eyes, Leia’s teeth elongated, resting on her lower lip and her fangs stretched out to their limit.

The three stared at her without blinking for a whole fifteen seconds, and finally, when it seemed as though their brains had processed what they saw, a piercing scream erupted from Kiesha, and she flinched away from her, creating a far distance, till her back touched the wall.

James’ eyes fluttered in deep fear and he slowly began to draw back, also creating a huge distance from her.

Victor, very scared, sat near her regardless and stared at her with eyes that held anxiousness and fear. His breathing became unsteady and he swallowed, bravely restraining himself from running. “You… you’re a vampire.” He inquired in what almost came out as a whisper.

Leia’s eyes flickered, and she slightly shook her head. “No…” She replied, and Victor took an instant breath, calming himself down. He had asked that question to know if she would answer. He wanted to confirm if it was really Leia that was seated in front of him.

He would have run if she hadn’t answered because that would have let him know that the person sitting in front of him wasn’t Leia but someone else.

“If you’re not a vampire, then what are you?” He proceeded to ask further, and Leia narrowly tilted her head to one side with a bit of disbelief in her orifices. “Aren’t you afraid of me?” She implored, and Victor blinked his eyes as he processed his words before proceeding to speak. “I am afraid… but not to the point of running away from you. I know that you’re Leia and would never hurt me because if you weren’t, you would have hurt us.” He replied, and she awkwardly arched her brow. “What makes you think that?”

“I see it a lot in movies, where if they turn, they instantly attack their friends, killing them.” Victor lifted his watch and glanced at it before returning his attention to her. “It’s been a minute already and you’re still yet to react. That’s enough to tell me that you’re Leia and not someone else. Plus, I can see the hurt in your eyes when Kiesha flinched away and James gave you some distance.” He clarified, and Leia gradually lowered her head.

“What exactly are you?” Victor asked yet again, and Leia took a long deep breath before raising her head to glimpse Kiesha and James, then at Victor. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, but not a word came out.

Victor gently took her hands and smiled at her to make her feel at ease. “C’mon, I promise, we won’t leave you. Just tell us. ”

She slowly nodded at him and parted her lips to speak. “I am a…”

“A what?” He stared intently at her in anticipation, and Leia swallowed hard. “A… Demon.”

Victor’s eyes blinked furiously the moment the word escaped her mouth, and he slowly let go of her hand. “You mean to say that you’re possessed by a demon?”

Leia infrequently shook her head at him, causing, the confusion in his eyes to deepen. “Then what do you mean by you’re a demon?”

“I am not possessed, Victor. I am an actual demon. A real one.” She let out a helpless breath, and a sharp breath left Victor’s nose. “That’s impossible.” He shook his head in skepticism, and his face puckered. “There is no way that you’re a demon. Demons are spirits, not… people.”

“No…they are not. Demons live amongst humans and-” Leia proceeded to explain, but he immediately drew back away from her and raised his finger to point at her. “You’re lying! You’re not Leia! You possessed her body!” He instantly stood up from the chair and hurried back to stand beside Kiesha and James in vigilance.

“I am not lying!” Leia immediately stood up and moved to walk towards them, but they raised their hands in a fighting motion, letting her know that if she moved any closer to them, they wouldn’t take it lightly with her. “Stay away!” Kiesha glared viciously at her, and Leia’s eyes fluttered as she instantly felt very hurt down within. She expected this.

“Guys, it’s really me, Leia. I am not possessed. Just hear me out, please..” She pleaded as she pointed at herself with tears that welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall.
