Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 80

“I see.” Leia nodded, and as though she remembered something, she glanced at Adrik with a questioning gaze. “Apart from you, are the others in this house, werewolves or humans?”

“They are all werewolves, including Alex.” He nodded at her.

Leia, who got an answer, suddenly recalled back to the time she had hit the hell out of Rita and her body couldn’t help but shudder.

She took deep breaths and stared at the water they were inside of. “How did you get so many werewolves to work for you?” She asked without glancing at him.

“I am their Supreme Alpha,” Adrik answered straight without hesitation.

“Supreme Alpha?” Leia raised her head to gaze at him, with confusion written all over her face.

“Yes, I am an Alpha wolf that rules an entire pack…” He explained but fluttered his eyes when he saw Leia still gazing at him with a questioning expression on her face. “It’s like a king ruling a kingdom. So I am an Alpha/king, ruling an entire pack, which is like a kingdom.”

“Wow.” Leia’s jaw fell as she couldn’t bring herself to believe that. “So if you rule an entire pack, what are you doing here in the human world?”

“Well, the human world is quite a fun place to be.” He chuckled softly as though amused. ” Besides, I have people like Alex who handle the little matters in the pack and report to me when there are big issues they can’t handle.

“Mhmm, I see.” Leia nodded in understanding and a deep breath escaped her lips. That was a lot of information, which will take her a while to analyze.

She would never have believed that such creatures existed if she wasn’t in love with and married to one. This world is indeed full of wonders.

She slightly shook her head, and her brow abruptly creased as she thought that something was being left out. She pinched between her brows and, as though remembering, she slowly turned her head and stared at Adrik, specifically at his scars.

Adrik’s face altered in confusion at her uncomfortable stare, and he chuckled awkwardly. “Little wife, why are you looking at me like that?” He raised his eyebrows in a questioning manner.

“I want to know how and what inflicted those scars on your face” Leia folded her arms and fixed her intent gaze on him.

Adrik’s face puckered immediately, and a deep breath escaped from his nose. He darted his eyes around to avoid Leia’s gaze and threw his head back as a low sigh left his mouth.

“Adrik,” Leia whispered his name and sat up to make him look at her. “Why don’t you want to tell me?” She asked in a tone that held pain. Does it mean that Adrik can’t trust or tell her anything bothering him?

Adrik raised his head to look at her and caressed her hair. “Little wife, it’s not what you think. I would never hide anything from yo-”

“Then tell me.” She gazed at him with expectations in her eyes.

Adrik took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them to look at her. “It’s… a curse.”

“A curse?” Leia drew her head back in confusion and blinked her eyes. “What do you mean by a curse?”

“These scars are a curse put upon me.” Adrik chuckled softly and pushed her to sit back down. “Relax, let me tell you a story from hundreds of years ago.”

“Wait what?!?” Leia’s face altered in confusion yet again, and she shook her head at a bit of loss. “What did you mean a hundred years ago?”

Adrik smirked and wiggled his brow amusingly at her.

“How old are you?” She asked with a strange look on her face, and Adrik chuckled softly at how cute her face was. “I am 330 years old.”

“What!!! The fuck!!!” She fluttered her eyes in disbelief and gazed intently at Adrik to see if he was just joking, but when she saw no amusement in his face, she slowly closed her mouth. “Wow, you’re an old man. How old would you be if you were a human?”

“30 years.” He shrugged and smiled at her.

“Ahh… that’s why you wrote 30 on the certificate that day. You look 24 to 25 though.” She nodded her head and gently brought her legs to her chest. “So… tell me the story.”

“Okay…, but first, I would like to let you know that I am a twin. I have a twin brother who is no different from me.”

“A twin.” Leia lowered her head and couldn’t help but chuckle crazily at herself. Wow, she’s finding out a lot. She shook her head and raised her eyes to stare at Adrik. “Okay, go on with the story.”

“Alright then.” Adrik took a deep breath, with his eyes shut, and meditated for a while before opening them. He looked at Leia and smiled at her. “You ready to hear my story?”

“Yes.”

Adrik nodded at her and pulled her closer to him.

…..

Hundreds of years ago in the kingdom of Dendivil, which belonged to the werewolves, called “The Blue Moon Pack.”

A mighty Supreme Alpha, named Lekhma, ruled the entire Blue Moon pack. He fought many battles, and never once did he return defeated. He fought against the rogues many times until the rogues suddenly disappeared, never to be seen or heard of.

The King had two wives. One was his first wife, whose name was Natasha, and the other was his concubine, named Mirabel. Well, a ravishingly beautiful orphan woman whom he fell in love with. He saw her at a feast and swore that he must have her, and in the end, he did.

He got her pregnant and was indeed joyous to hear such news, as she was his mate. Well, the first wife was married to him because of a deal between him and another wolf pack. So yes, the concubine is his mate.

So, the first wife obviously was not happy about it, as she was afraid the second wife would give birth to a boy, and then the Supreme Alpha would stop giving a damn about her and her little daughter, who was just a month old then.
