Sold To An Alpha

Shawn, who was clad in blue jeans and a white polo, ruffled through his hair before neatly combing it back. A big smile emerged on his face, and he pushed the door open and strolled downstairs. 

He had returned to the mansion to stay with Ileus after spending a few days with his mum.

His eyes darted around the living room, and his brow creased in a bit of bewilderment.

"Are you looking for something?" A familiar voice resounded beside him, and he turned to see Ileus walking towards him with his eyes fixed on his phone. He assessed him from head to toe, and he suddenly found himself entranced by how godlike he looked. 

His white hair was neatly parked up in a bun with only a few strands falling over his face, and his body was dressed up in a white turtleneck, a long jacket, and white pants. In fact, he was swathed in complete white. Even his shoes were pristine white. 

Come to think of it, he and Adrik have the same taste. They have so much in common. 

"Stop staring at me." Ileus raised his eyes from the phone and glanced at him with an arched brow. 

"Oh... a-am sorry." Shawn coughed awkwardly and smiled sheepishly before abruptly glancing around. "Hmm... strange, I haven't seen your right-hand man for a few days now." He shifted his gaze back to Ileus, and Ileus raised his eyes to glimpse him. "He left the day after you went home. He had some business to attend to." 

"I see..." He nodded his head and his eyes blinked furiously when Ileus shook his head at him and walked towards him, then grabbed him by the hand and began to walk out of the mansion. "Follow me." 

He dragged him along with him outside, towards the car, and the bodyguards pulled the door open for them. 

Shawn stepped in and he got in afterward, then the bodyguards shut the door and moved to take their seats at the front. 

The driver started the car's engine and smoothly drove out of the compound and pulled over onto the road.

"Where...are we going?" Shawn, who was confused, inquired with a raised eyebrow.

"The park." Ileus replied, his eyes still fixed on his phone.

"The park? Why? " He asked in a bit of curiosity, and a low, irritated breath exited Ileus' nose. He raised his head and turned to stare at him.

"I have to meet someone there. If you want to go back to the mansion, I can drop you off, and if you don't want to, just keep quiet and don't ask me questions." His face puckered a bit as he said, and Shawn's eyes fluttered in confusion. What exactly did he do wrong now? It was just a simple one-word question! 

A breath of displeasure fled his nose, and he averted his gaze to stare up at the sky through the window. 

A maximum of an hour was enacted before they arrived at the park. 

The driver carefully parked the car, and together with the bodyguard, they stepped down to pull the door open for them.

Ileus got down and outstretched his hand for Shawn. 

Confused, Shawn lifted his head to stare at him, but Ileus glanced not at him, but his phone while still leaving his hand outstretched. What exactly is he watching on his phone? 

Shawn shook his head and got out of the car without bothering to accept his kind gesture. 

Ileus' face darkened a bit in displeasure, and he finally averted his attention from his phone, then turned his head to glare at Shawn. "Why did you do that?" He asked, and Shawn's eyes darted around in confusion.

"Do what?" He inquired, utterly confused.

A subtle breath escaped Ileus' nose and, without bothering to explain, he interlocked his hands with his and began to walk away, dragging him along with him.

Shawn's eyes dilated in confusion as he found himself unable to understand what exactly was wrong with this man.

He walked beside him, and they strolled for a few minutes before Ileus abruptly halted and turned to face him. "Wait here for me and don't go anywhere. I won't come to find you if you get lost." He shrugged and walked away before Shawn, who was dumbfounded, could say anything. "What the fuck?" was the only thing that managed to roll out of Shawn's mouth.

Ileus slightly shook his head and smiled, then looked up ahead of him to spot the person he came for. 

He walked up to the person, and the person, who was none other than Nirmolak, bowed deeply in respect before taking off the cap of his hoodie. "Your highness, why did we have to meet in the park? I could have just come to the mansion." Nirmolak immediately asked as he was very confused.

"I have my reasons." Ileus smiled at him and placed his hand behind his back. "So..."

"Well...she's not in good condition right now. She recently had an accident the day before yesterday and she has been unconscious since then." He reported, and Ileus' brow arched in contemplation. "I see..." He slightly nodded and Nirmolak stared intently at him, anticipating what the next plan would be. 

"Well... just keep monitoring everything for now. We can't strike yet. Besides, we still have our main weapon with us." Ileus smirked and turned to glance at Shawn, who had his hand stuffed into his pocket while peering at him with an impatient look on his face.

"As I said, keep monitoring everything. I will inform you once we are ready to strike." He half-smiled at Nirmolak, and Nirmolak nodded in understanding before pulling the cap of his hoodie over his head. He took another bow and turned around, exiting the park.

A deep, long breath escaped Ileus's nose and he shut his eyes as though thinking of something. 

A half-smile emerged on his lips, and he turned around to walk back to Shawn, whose face was deeply crumpled.
