Sold To An Alpha

"A what?" He inquired as though he hadn't heard what Ileus said the last time.

Ileus smiled charmingly at him, and before he could anticipate what would happen next, white canines, slowly but steady, elongated from Ileus's gum and became visible to the eyes. His nails stretched out, and he glanced down at them.

Shawn's heartbeat rapidly increased within him as he stared at the canines resting on Ileus's lower lip, with his mouth agape, and a horrid look on his face.

"Do you believe me no-" Ileus inquired, and what he did not expect was for Shawn to suddenly grab a pillow and throw it at him, then stand up from the sofa and begin to back away till his back was pressed against the door. 

Ileus' face darkened in a bit of anger, and he glared viciously at him. "Why the hell did you do that?" He asked in a very harsh voice that had Shawn jolting in fear. 

Shawn parted his lips to say something but instantly swallowed his words when he saw Ileus stand up from the sofa and begin walking towards him. 

"W-what are you try-" He was yet to finish his words when Ileus's hands rested on either side of his head on the glass door, trapping him in one place.

He lowered his eyes and stared deeply into his gray eyes, and that's when he suddenly realized that Shawn had gray eyes just like him.

From inside the house, Nirmolak smiled at the maids after inquiring about Ileus' whereabouts, then proceeded to make his way to the greenhouse.

He had just opened the back door and stepped out when his eyes fell on Shawn, who was trapped in one place by his highness. His eyes fluttered and his body became motionless as he stood staring at them with a lost expression on his face.

 ...

"A-are you gonna suck my blood now." Shawn inquired in a cracked voice, which showed just how terrified he was.

Ileus gazed intently at his face and slightly shook his head. "No, I will never do that, I don't drink blood, neither will I kill you. I could have done it without you even knowing who I am if I had wanted to. Besides, there is no reason for me to kill you, even though I don't like humans that much. " He smirked, and Shawn swallowed hard.

"You should ease up. It's not like you saw me in my wolf form. You literally only saw my canines and fingers." He chuckled softly and brushed Shawn's hair back before turning around and walking back to sit down on the sofa.

Shawn inhaled and exhaled deeply, then reluctantly moved to sit down on the couch beside him, although he created a bit of distance in vigilance.

Ileus raised his brow at him and abruptly grabbed him by the hand, pulling him closer to him. "You better get used to it." With that being said, he threw his head back on the sofa and closed his eyes. "Whenever you feel sleepy, just go inside. I will talk to you regarding the plan tomorrow." He inhaled and exhaled deeply, then adjusted his seating.

Shawn blinked slowly and took a deep breath. He stared at Ileus for a while and turned around, then threw his head back and fixed his gaze on the ceiling. "Is your brother one too?"

"Yes..." Ileus replied with his eyes still shut, and silence took over after that.

...

Nirmolak, who stood out in the rain watching them, had his face darkened in anger. This greenhouse was somewhere his highness had never allowed him to come into, not even once, but he... allowed a human to! Why?! This was totally unacceptable!

His hands balled into tight fists and, without uttering a single word, he turned around and stormed back into the house, slamming the door shut.

Victor moved around the living room in a very apprehensive manner. Just what was this? Selena had been avoiding him since the incident that happened that day. She rarely speaks to him and spends most of her time in the room, unlike before. Even when he tries to initiate a conversation with her, she suddenly makes up an excuse and leaves. Did he really mess up to that extent? 

He took a deep breath and pinched between his brows in deep confusion. He stuffed his hands into his jeans pockets and looked at the door to Selena's room. Maybe he can try talking to her again. This is just not cool at all. He needs to. 

He inhaled and exhaled softly, then strolled towards the door. He stalled for a few seconds before he raised his hand and gave a light knock on the door.

A few seconds passed, but no response came from Selena. He knocked again. Still, no response came from her.

"Selena, I know you're in there and awake." He said it in a tone that revealed just how worried he was. "Please just speak to me. Five minutes, only five minutes." He pleaded and suddenly heard a low groan from her reverberate from within the room. "Please! I beg you!"

He patiently waited, and after what seemed like thirty seconds, passed, the door handle turned and the door pushed open, revealing Selena, who was clad in a milk-colored nightgown and her fiery red hair tied up into a messy bun.

"We need to talk." He said in a pleading manner, and a deep breath left Selena's mouth.

"Come in." She opened the door completely, and Victor stepped inside. He walked towards the divan and sat down, then nervously tapped his fingers on his lap.

Selena shut the door, then moved to sit down on the couch beside him. 

Victor took a deep breath and turned to stare at her. "First of all, I am sorry for kissing you without your consent. I honestly had no idea why I did that. I just don't know what made me do that. I know that's a very silly excuse, but I swear, I have been thinking for these past weeks now and I really can't figure out why I did that. It was just as if something was pulling me to do it. I'm really sorry."

Selena's eyes fluttered, and she suddenly found herself having the urge to break down in tears.
