Adrik's hand, which was about to pick up the document on the table, halted, and he slowly turned his eyes to gaze at Selena. His green orifices instantly changed to a deep red and his fangs became visible. Before Selena could analyze what would happen next, she found herself gripped around the neck and hoisted up by Adrik with one hand.
Adrik shut his blood-shot eyes and glared at her as soon as he opened them. His fingers gradually began to pierce into her skin, cursing lines of blood to drip down his fingers.
[Let me out, Adrik!! Am freaking out!! I want to tear this woman into pieces] Kai's red eyes glared at Selena, and it howled in rage at Adrik.
Adrik gritted his teeth and held Kai from breaking free. He knows that once Kai bursts free, Selena will turn into meat on a chopping board. In werewolves, the wolf side is hot-blooded compared to the human side.
Selena, who was still being hoisted up by Adrik, struggled to free herself from his grip, but it was to no avail. The more she tries to break free, the more Adrik's grip on her neck tightens, making it hard for her to breathe.
Alex, who stood a bit far from them, clenched his fist nervously and blinked his eyes. He has to stop his alpha, or else if anything happens to Selena, the consequences aren't something they can handle.
He swallowed hard and took a long, deep breath. He raised his eyes to gaze at his Alpha, and his black eyes changed from their pitch-black color to that of blue. His fangs elongated and his nails stretched out a bit more. He roared and balled his fist, then hurriedly rushed up to Adrik.
He grabbed him by the arm and pulled hard to stop him from strangling Selena. However, it was harder than he thought, and he couldn't even move him. Adrick's red eyes dimmed when he felt someone pulling his arm, and he averted his gaze to look at the person.
His eyes fell on Alex, and his face darkened more. He bared his fangs and viciously glared at him.
Alex swallowed hard and gritted his teeth. He pulled fiercely on Adrik's arms and tried to make him expel his grip on Selena's throat. "Supreme Alpha, you need to stop!" He yanked strongly and added more of his strength. However, Alex fiercely threw Selena to the floor and turned around with his red eyes burning in a rage. He raised his balled fist and punched Alex in fury, sending him crashing into a glass receptacle standing near the wall.
A deep groan escaped Alex's mouth, and he clutched his head in pain. His face grimaced as his hand touched the injury on his face, caused by Adrik's claw.
Selena, who was flung to the floor, instantly began to back away when she saw Adrik's glare fixed on her. Her body nervously trembled as she continued to back away from him.
Adrik clenched his hand into a tight fist and shut his eyes. He took continuous, long, deep breaths and finally opened his eyes when he felt himself and his wolf calm down. He glanced to the side and nervousness flashed in his green eyes when he saw Alex sitting near the shattered shelf with his hand clutching his head. He hurriedly rushed to him and helped him up from the floor. "Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned yet stern face.
"I believe," Alex nodded, with his face turning shades of red in anger. What the fuck? He's obviously in pain, yet his alpha is asking him if he's okay. His eyes fluttered, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Adrik patted him on the shoulder and gave him a half-smile. He turned around with his face, which had returned to its deep frown, and walked back to his desk without sparing a glance at Selena.
He sat down and picked up a white towel from his table to wipe off the blood on his hand. "This is just a small lesson. Next time you insult my wife-" He raised his menacing eyes to stare at Selena, and a wicked grin formed on his lips "-You might not be able to go back alive. He dropped the towel on his desk and picked up the document he had read before. His leisurely eyes scanned through them, and he yawned a little. "If there is nothing else, please see yourself out."
Selena stood up from the floor and adjusted her tight dress, which displayed her gracious curves. She dangerously glared at Adrik and stomped her feet on the floor in outrage. "See you next time." Her eyes narrowed into a thin line, and a smirk made its way to her lips. She turned around and left the office, shutting the door behind her in a rage.
Adrik raised his head and gazed at the door. His green eyes menacingly narrowed, and he slowly grinned.

Outfitted in jean shorts and a black singlet, which revealed the tattoos all over her neck and arms, Leia walked downstairs and opened the door that led to the backyard. Her brow arched the moment she stepped into the backyard, and her eyes couldn't help but glow.
In front of her was a garden, a beautiful one at that which she had hardly seen before. Her eyes scrutinized the place, and she unknowingly nodded her head in awe. The garden was lovely, as it had a gorgeous range of flowers such as roses, lilies, daisies, sunflowers, and much more to beautify it. In the middle stood a huge fountain with a wolf sculpture spraying out water from its mouth.
'What's with him and the Wolves?' Leia's face couldn't help but frown as she stared at the Wolf sculpture. She shook her head and inhaled deeply, smelling the freshness of the garden. Her eyes darted around, and a warm smile made its way to her lips when her eyes fell on a white swing meant for two people. It stood where you could sit and watch the sun, rise, and set.
She walked over and gently sat down on it. The swing began to move, gradually rocking her back and forth. A deep sigh left her lips as though she had just thought of something, and she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She browsed through her contact list and stopped on one with the name "Victor." Leia bit her lower lip and dialed the number.. The contact picked up instantly and she placed the phone near her ear.
