Mask Off

Leia's face turned ashen, and she yelled angrily. "Take your filthy hands off me!" She placed her hands on his bare chest and tried to forcefully push him away. However, Adrik's hold on her waist tightened more, and he tried to use his other hand to hold her in one place, but it unknowingly touched one of her little mountains.

Leia's eyes widened immediately, and her face turned a dark shade of red, showing how outraged she was. She glared at him with rage in her eyes and slapped him across the face, causing the mask on his face to fall off.

Both of them stilled for a moment, and Leia's eyes blinked in disbelief as they stared at Adrik's revealed face. 

Adrik fluttered his long lashes and chuckled as his hand touched her cheek. "I am sorry, little wife, but if you had stopped struggling, my hands wouldn't have accidentally touched there, nor would you have seen my hideous face." He caressed her cheek and a smile formed on his lips.

Leia blinked nervously as she couldn't take her eyes off his face. She had always heard of the scars on his face, but she never thought it would be this awful. The scars looked as though a centipede had laid from his cheek to his jaw, and the ones that went from his left cheek to his nose were worse. From his eyes up, he was devoid of any scars, but from his nose down, he had ugly scars. 'So this is why he wears a half-mask,' Leia fluttered her lashes as she thought.

"Are you hearing me, little wife?" She napped out of her twisted thoughts when his deep voice echoed in her head. Leia raised her eyes and gazed into his green eyes. Her darkened face lessened a bit, and she proceeded to free herself from his hold, but Adrik held onto her tightly, unwilling to let her go. "I am sorry, little wife, but you will sleep with me today and the day afterward." He nuzzled closer to her and breathed out, fanning her forehead.

Leia's brow creased, and a deep breath left her nose. She tried to raise her head to look at his face, but his chin, which was lying on top of her head, gave her no chance. "Can you at least let me wear my shirt?" She asked, feeling a little bit annoyed, but Adrik began to snore as though he was in a deep sleep.

"You!" Leia's face grimaced in anger, and she furiously punched his stomach, which has six-packs. 'Such a thick-skinned human being!!' She knew he was just pretending to be asleep from his sudden snoring, and besides, he doesn't even look like the type that snores. She unclenched her clenched fist and gradually relaxed in his arms. The clock ticked and her eyes slowly closed. A yawn escaped her mouth, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Adrik opened his eyes and drew his head back a little to view her face. 'She's a tough one, isn't she?' He smiled as he stared at her face.

[She is. She will make an excellent Luna] Kai nodded its head as it also stared at Leia.

'If only she wasn't human, she would have been perfect.' Adrik sighed in frustration.

[Who cares if she's human? Bro, she's our mate and we are keeping her] Kai stated with a displeased tone. [Don't tell me you're afraid-]

'Don't worry, I am not scared of that old man. I AM THE SUPREME ALPHA.' Adrik's eyes dangerously narrowed into a thin line as he communicated with his wolf.

[Urgh... when am I going to be able to smell and nuzzle her?] Kai rolled its eyes in frustration. [I'm gonna die here from waiting].

'Then die.' Adrik smirked with a slight shake of his head. 'You will have to wait for who knows when before you can even get the chance to smell or even lick her.'

[How unfair... you get to hold her and hug her while I just stand here watching!] Kai's face grimaced as it complained. [She's asleep; just let me out to nuzzle her a little].

Adrik's face instantly darkened at how Kai was acting like a child, and he arched his brow. 'When the time comes, you will get to do whatever you want with her, alright.'

[Fine!] Kai rolled its eyes and went silent. Adrik shook his head and drew his little wife closer to him, then he shut his eyes and went to sleep.

The sun rose into the sky, showering its rays through the glass window on a young girl lying on a king-sized bed.

Leia yawned as she sat up on the bed with her eyes closed. She stretched her body and blinked her eyes open. She glanced beside her on the bed, and her brow creased a bit when she saw the space beside her empty. She stared at her bare upper body and her face frowned in annoyance when she recalled what happened last night.

She took a deep breath and climbed down from the bed. Her eyes darted around the room, which was so bright from the sun shining in through the wide, tall glass window. Does he want to build this house entirely out of glass? Her face puckered in irritation, and she proceeded to walk to a door that she anticipated was the door to the bathroom. However, before she could take a step forward, her eyes abruptly fell on something placed on a mini table with two sofas on either side of it.

She turned around and walked towards the table, and her brow arched when she saw that it was ceramic bowls and a flat plate placed on a plastic tray with spoons and a small towel stationed on it. Her eyes narrowed as it fell on a small note kept beside the flat plate, and she picked it up. She twisted her mouth funnily and opened it. Her brow raised and her eyes fluttered in surprise when she began to read what was written inside of it.
