Sold To An Alpha

Shawn's mother hugged him tightly and tenderly patted him on the back. "It's okay, son. Things, indeed, are not meant to be, just like your father and I. We were never meant to be together in the first place at that time, and we made a very big mistake by being with each other, hurting ourselves in the end... Just let everything go. You will still find the right person for yourself in the future, and then you're going to be thankful that things went this way. " She smiled lovingly at him and gently caressed his cheek.

A subtle breath escaped Shawn's nose, and he slowly nodded at her with a bit of a downcast expression on his face. "You're right. Thank you, mum. You're the best. I love you." He turned to her and pulled her into another tight hug. Right now, he has made his decision and won't bother with getting back at Leia. It isn't worth it.

His mother patted him on the back and drew back from the hug, then cupped his cheeks with her hands. "Why don't you go out and have fun? It will help you get your mind off it." She stroked his hair with tenderness visible in her eyes. 

Shawn slightly nodded at her and stood up from the couch. "I will be back by seven. I will grab some goodies for you in the process." 

Mrs. Roberts's cackled softly and slowly nodded at him. "I will be waiting for you then."

Shawn smiled and turned around, then proceeded out of the building to make his way towards the SUV. He stepped into the car and shut the door, then turned the key to the ignition point, and smoothly drove out of the compound and onto the road.

His fingers tapped playfully on the steering wheel, and he reached down his hand to turn the music on. His head bobbed to the rhythm, and he suddenly found himself singing.

This kept him entertained for a while until he arrived at his destination, "The amusement park." He smoothly pulled the car over and drove into the area then parked it in the parking lot near another SUV car. Currently, it was six PM and dark clouds were beginning to take over the sky.

He stepped down and shoved his left hand into the pocket of his pant, then brushed back his hair with his fingers. He hasn't been here in a long time, and he would be lying if he said he didn't miss it. He chuckled softly and proceeded into the park.

Leia and Adrik stood near the ice cream truck at the amusement park, and the wide smile that had been on Leia's face since they arrived at the park never faded.

"Little wife, are you this excited?" Adrik inquired, behind chuckle, as he gazed at the smile that reached her eyes.

"Humph! You won't understand." She nudged him intentionally on the shoulder, and Adrik crackled softly at her behavior.

"Two, please." She hurriedly replied to the ice cream guy, and he took a few seconds before handing her two ice cream cones. She turned to Adrik and handed one over to him, then interlocked her arms with his.

"Have you never been here before?" Adrik asked curiously, and she licked her ice cream before turning her head to glance at him.

"I have, but only once. And that was on Amy's birthday. You, know she's daddy's pet. During my birthday, nothing was ever done for me, not even a simple birthday wish, except my mum, who would buy a cake and share it with me while we binge some movies in her room." She laughed softly as she reminisced about those times, and a low breath left her nose. "Oh well, I grew up to not care about those things, although my love for the park will never fade."

Adrik glanced at her and reached out his hands to scrub her hair. "I can always bring you here if you want." He wiggled his brow at her, and Leia stood on her tiptoes to peck his lips. "Come on, time for some rides." She laughed viciously and dragged him along with her.

They arrived at the fun sections, and Leia pointed at different rides. "I know you have never been to a park before, so I will introduce each ride to you. That one is the roller coaster." She pointed at the one she was talking about, and Adrik nodded. "And that one is the chair swing ride." She pointed at another one, then at another one. "That one over there is the Pendulum ride." 

Adrik turned his head to glance at the pendulum ride, and his eyes fluttered vigorously. "You want to ride on that thing?" He asked, with disapproval evident in his tone, and Leia nodded at him.

He began to chuckle uamused and turned her so she would face him. He then took a deep breath and smiled seriously at her. "Hell no, little wife. Sorry, but you are not getting on that thing. You can only ride on the chair swing ride and the roaster coaster, whatever you call it."

"It's a roller coaster." Leia crackled softly before her face unexpectedly switched to that of a stern one. "What the hell do you mean by I can't get on the pendulum ride?" She inquired, with displeasure evident in her tone.

"You can't!" He seriously shook his head at her in disapproval, and a subtle breath of annoyance left her nose. "Why is that?"

"Because it looks too dangerous to me." He grabbed her by the wrist and moved to register for the roller coaster ride.

Shawn's eyes fluttered, and he turned around, his gaze falling on the spot where Adrik and Leia had been standing a minute before. His brows creased, and he glanced around. He was sure that he had heard her voice. Maybe it's just his imagination.. He shook his head, then headed off to book the roller coaster ride.
