Go! By! Yourself!

Adrik drew back, smiling warmly at her. He leaned down a bit and kissed her on the forehead. His eyes stared at her and suddenly narrowed into a thin line when his nose twitched violently. "Little wife, was someone here?" He gazed at her with a creased brow.

Leia shrugged and lazily blinked her eyes at him. "A lady was here a few minutes ago." She stared at him with an arched brow, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes.

Adriks' brow furrowed deeper, and he sniffed once again. He darted his eyes around and turned to Leia. "Can you describe her looks to me?" A half-smile that didn't reach his eyes made its way to his lips and he looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.

Leia shrugged once again and turned away from him with an expressionless face. "Red hair, a body to die for, and gray eyes." She said this leisurely and began to walk towards the elevator.

Adrik's face darkened, and his hands unknowingly balled into a tight fist. He shut his eyes and yelled within himself in anger. "Selena!!!" He took a deep breath and smiled at Leia, who was gazing at him with her brow raised.

He walked up to her at the elevator, and they boarded it. It took them to the 2nd floor, and Adrik grabbed her wrist when the door of the elevator opened. He led them to their room and shut the door behind them. Leia rolled her eyes in annoyance and snatched her hand from his grip. 

She made her way to the bed and sat down on it, then folded her arms and leisurely watched him take off his suit jacket and unbutton his shirt, showing off his abs and the tattoos all over his body. She slightly nodded her head at how good it made him look.

Adrik messily tied up his hair and walked to the sofa to sit down. He plopped down on it and cast his arms to the side, then threw his head backward. A deep breath escaped his lips and he slowly shut his eyes.

Leia's brow arched as she gazed at him, and she couldn't help but curiously ask. "Are you okay?" Her brows furrowed in displeasure. He's been acting different and tired since he came back. It was as though something was bothering him.

Adrik opened one of his eyes and peeked at her. A smile emerged on his red lips and he nodded at her. "I am fine." He picked up his mask from the table and latched it onto his face, then stood up from the sofa and walked out of the room, leaving Leia, who had her brow arched in confusion.

He ambled downstairs and stood in the living room with an expressionless face. He called for Alex, and he reported immediately without hesitation. Alex bowed to Adrik when he arrived in front of him. "Did you smell her scent?" Adrik asked, his eyes narrowed into a thin line.

"Yes, Supreme Alpha, I did," Alex replied with respect in his tone and straightened up.

"Good, from today onwards, if I ever smell her filthy scent inside this house or ever see her near my wife... don't imagine what I will do to you." Adrik's eyes menacingly glared at him. "You know the real side of me and am sure you do not want to see it." He grinned at him, and with a turn, he walked away.

Alex swallowed hard as he glanced at the disappearing silhouette of his Alpha. An anxious breath escaped his nose and his hands clenched in displeasure. That woman will surely kill him! Jeez, his Alpha knows that that woman is very cunning, and keeping her from this mansion is almost impossible. Oh well, he might just have to start searching for his mate in case his Alpha snaps his neck tomorrow. At least he knows he found his mate. He shook his head and walked out of the mansion to talk to the bodyguards.

Leia and Adrik had their lunch, and the sun slowly set, leaving the sky enshrouded in dark clouds. Leia sat on the sofa with her phone in her hand while Adrik sat on the other sofa with his laptop placed on his lap. He peeked at Leia and abruptly placed the laptop on the table, then stood up and walked over to her.

He grabbed her with both hands and pulled her up from the sofa. He smiled and revealed his jade-white teeth. "Little wife" He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and caressed her cheek. "What is it?" Leia, whose face was turning into a grimace, asked with impatience apparent in her tone.

"Well..." Adrik kept smiling at her and tenderly caressed her hair. "There is this party, a business one, being held for the top five richest, and as the top one, I must be there, so-"

"You want me to go there with you?" Leia cut him off before he could find his sentence, and her face darkened deeply. She slapped his hands, which were caressing her head, away and glared at him with irritation written all over her face. "Listen carefully. Let me tell you this: if you think I will follow you to that damned party, then you're mistaken because I won't!"

This stupid party was the same one that her father would always attend, and, of course, there is no doubt that he won't attend this one. She doesn't want to see the stinking filthy face of that old man, so there is no fucking way she is attending that party. She raised her eyes and glared at Adrik with annoyance and irritation visible in her eyes. "Go! by! yourself!" She emphasized her every word and proceeded to leave. However, Adrik abruptly grabbed her by the wrist and furiously slammed her against the wall, causing her to hit the back of her head on it.
