"Good morning" Larisa greeted her boss with a smile. "Good morning, Larisa. You should change and get into your working uniform. We will be opening in a minute or two""Alright, boss" Larisa replied and hurried away to change. When she emerged a few minutes later, the restaurant had opened and there was a few customers in the restaurant. Larisa immediately got to work. She was happy with herself that she now had a job that did not require her depending on Leandro.Work for her went on like it had been the previous day until silence fell upon the restaurant, a strange silence.A familiar scent wafted into her nostrils and her eyes widened with a skip of her heart when she realized who it was. Leandro!Was he just here to eat? Or for he come for her? To take her away and make her the 'nothing' she is again?She was frozen on the spot for some seconds before she turned back to look at Leandro. Leandro was staring at her too, with Hayden behind him. "Welcome Alpha Leandro. It is an.
"Risa" Leandro called huskily and Larisa's eyes closed slowly as she took in that voice. She missed him calling her name this way. But still yet, he did not love her! He had no feelings for her and she was going to be a victim at the end if she did not stop this. "No" she mumbled and placed her hands on his chest, pushing him off and hating that even with the quick touch, she could remember what his chest was like, bare and having her head on it. "I will not be going anywhere with you, Alpha Leandro" she wiped her lips with the back of her palm. "That night... The night I told you that the one to end it will be you, I was not in my right senses. You should not take my word for it, Alpha Leandro" she added and Leandro's jaw clenched tight for a second. "Right senses or not, you will remain mine but yeah" he leaned back into the car seat. "I do not have a need for you today. I will be back for you when I do but keep that body for me. Your body can only belong to me" he added and L
Two days laterLarisa walked into the cafe. She had taken the previous day as her off at work since she was allowed two days off in a month. Larisa looked around the cafe, there were a few customers already and her colleague was busy with them. "Hey" she waved. "Hey, welcome. Get changed and join me. There was a huge change yesterday" her colleague replied and Larisa pouted a bit, wondering what the huge change was. She however ignored it and went to change her clothing. She had just finished changing and was packing her hair into a bun when she realized someone was around..... Leandro. Her body stiffened as his scent wafted into her nostrils. She felt her body tense as she walked towards the door of the changing room. She recalled the words of her grandmother about her confessing her feelings to Leandro. Her hand reached for the door handle and she pulled it open to find him at the door. "What are you doing here, Alpha Leandro?" She asked him, her eyes roaming but not meeting
Few hours laterLarisa had shaken off all that had happened in the morning and was now working though she was seriously rethinking her job. Her colleague had affirmed that the Alpha had bought the cafe and Larisa could not help but worry about that and yet wonder why he was hovering over her when he did not even feel for her. As the hours went past, Larisa thought about quitting the job and getting a new job, some place far from Leandro. "Hello, Larisa" someone greeted and Larisa turned towards the main door of the cafe to find Kimberly standing there. Kimberly was dressed in a clearly expensive black knee length dress, she had a red purse with her and her hair was in wavy curls. She had a smile on her face too which made Larisa feel very weird. "Kimberly?"Kimberly only smiled wider and walked over to a seat. She took the seat just by the window and Larisa hesitantly walked to her. "What would you like to have ma'am?" She questioned and Kimberly chuckled. "Can I get a minute
Hayden moved closer, his arm slowly wrapping around Kimberly's waist. He closed his eyes as her lower lip filled his lips. He sucked on the lip tenderly and Kimberly did the same to his upper lip. Her eyes closed and even though something was screaming at her to stop this, she was unable to stop herself or stop Hayden. But Hayden pulled back instantly and wiped his lips with the back of his palm as if he had not wanted it so badly. "I am sorry" he apologized quickly to Kimberly who was now trying to get herself right. "I... I am sorry too" she apologized in a shaky voice. What the heck had just happened? Was it just the effects of the kiss scene in the movie? Why in the world should she have allowed her brother to kiss her? And why in the world would she have kissed him back?"I... It must be the movie" she blamed the movie for it and Hayden nodded, agreeing to her words. "It has to be the movie. I guess siblings should not watch these type of movies together" he replied and Kim
Kimberly stood before her window, her phone in her hand as she dialed a contact. She took the phone to her ear as she waited for the receiver to pick up the call. There was however no response to the call. Kimberly groaned as she redialed the contact and this time, at the third ring, the receiver picked up the call. "Hey, why have you not been picking up the call?" Kimberly questioned sternly. "I am sorry. I was not by my phone" the voice of a man replied. "Alright. Did you get the invitation card I sent to you?" Kimberly asked. "Yes, I got it a few minutes ago" The man replied. "Good. I want you to be at the party early so I can show you the room you will be taking her to. Have you gotten the drugs?" Kimberly asked. "Yes, I have done that. You should trust me""I can't. No one is absolutely trustworthy so you'd better not mess this up for me""I will not, Miss. Kimberly" the man replied. "Good. You have to figure out how to drug her on your own and take her to the room I wou
"What's that?" Hayden asked as he noticed a tatto on Leandro's chest.Leandro gave no response to him as he walked towards the closet."Leandro" he called and walked after him into the closet. "It's a tatto, I am sure your eyes still work quite well" Leandro said, reaching out for a shirt. "Yes, I can see that it's a tatto but... How can you tatto her name on your chest?" Hayden questioned. Leandro stalled for a second and then slipped the shirt on, covering the tattoo up. "I do what I want to my body, Hayden and you know very well that you should not question that" he replied authoritatively. Hayden took in a deep breath and tried to make Leandro reason. "What if you have to shift in front of others? And then when you shift back, they see RISA tattooed on your chest?""Risa could mean anything. I did not have Larisa Clement tattooed, did I? How many people know Larisa as Risa?" Hayden gave no response. "I am the only one who calls her Risa and you only know that because you a
Leandro's eyes burned a fiery red as Luciano grinned at him. He clenched his fists, wondering when and how Luciano had found his way back into the Pack. The men at the borders had definitely done a bad job at keeping others away from their Pack. "Wait a minute, is he not Luciano, Alpha leandro's step brother?""He definitely is. There is no way I can forget his evil face""But why is he back after all these years?""Maybe he wants to challenge Alpha Leandro?""Didn't he cause so much trouble back then that the old Alpha had to banish him from the Pack?""He sure did but no one knows what huge trouble he caused exactly that made the Alpha banish him"Leandro gulped down hard. Of course he knew what his step brother had done to anger both himself and their father. "Keep quiet" he growled lowly, his eyes still closed. Every single person went silent at his order and Leandro opened his eyes. "Father was the one who banished you.... Come in, Luciano" Leandro said and turned, walking b
"Stop! Don't do it, Larisa!" Larisa stopped when she heard the voice of her grandmother. "Grandma?" She called in surprise and just at that moment, Leandro came into the scene. "Larisa, please don't do this" Leandro said, standing beside grandma. "Grandma! I told you I was scared of this but you assured me that everything was going to be fine" Larisa cried. "That is because everything will be fine, Larisa" Grandma replied and stepped away from Leandro, revealing that she also had a silver dagger in her hands. "Wh... What are you doing, grandma?." Larisa questioned. "When I went to see the witch, she told me... She told me the wedding would really trigger the curse but she also gave me a good news. I also have... I also have the blood of a moon blessed one so I can work as the sacrifice"Larisa shook her head as she understood what her grandma was about to do. "Don't" she shook her head but Grandma just smiled sadly. "I am happy that I at least got to see you get married to a m
"The curse is starting" Larisa was in shock as she stared down at the corpse of the man. "What is going on?""Why did he die?""Another one is dying!""What's going on?!"Every guest was panicking and only a few knew what was going on. "It's... It's fine, Larisa. It's time for you to leave" Leandro grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the wedding venue. "No, no" Larisa whispered as she shook her head wondering how her fears had come true when her grandmother had assured her the previous day that their wedding was not going to trigger the curse. Leandro did not stop running and pulling her along until they got to the car. He pulled the car door open but Larisa did not step into the car. "Risa? Get into the car, you have to leave the Pack before the ones who know about the curse start speaking up and demand you to be killed" Larisa drew in a deep breath and let out a shaky one, her eyes filling with tears. She suddenly threw her arms around Leandro and kissed him hard.
A day before the wedding"Are you sure everything will be fine, Grandma?" Larisa asked over the phone. "I met with an old witch that I have known for some time now. She assured me that the wedding rings is not part of a marking which means the curse will not happen even after the wedding so you do not have to trouble yourself. Tomorrow is your wedding, Larisa. Do not stress yourself over things that won't happen. Tomorrow is going to go very smoothly. Nothing will go wrong" Larisa sighed softly. "I hope so""I am telling you that nothing will happen. The curse will not be triggered by the wedding.""Alright Grandma. I trust you" Larisa replied. "As you should. Now I want you to be at peace and only focus on the happiness coming tomorrow" Grandma said."You know you should be here with me today, Grandma" Larisa grumbled. "I will be at the wedding tomorrow, Larisa. Alex is already there with you guys. You will see me tomorrow""Alright Grandma"The door opened behind her and Leandr
"You should not have come over, Risa. I and Alex would have come to see you over there" Grandma said with a smile as she sat down beside Larisa who had come visiting. "You are my family. I can come visiting my family whenever I want to, right?" Larisa asked, diverting her attention from the television to her grandma. The both of them were in the living room of the beautiful home. "Your wedding is in less than two weeks, you should not be walking all about anymore" Grandma shook her head. "I came to see you. I am not walking all about and there is nothing for me to do right now. Leandro is spoiling me.""Just like you deserve" the old lady smiled. "What about your wedding dress? Is it ready?" Grandma questioned. "Not yet. Everything is happening so fast. The wedding dress will be ready in two or three days. Leandro insisted he wanted me wearing a custom made dress and since it's being made, we have to wait a little""Wow. I can not wait to witness your special day, Larisa" Grandm
"How did it go?" Kimberly asked Hayden who was walking towards her with a tired look on his face. They both of them had moved into the home Hayden's home and life was great for them. "Is he going to punish me for what I did?" Kimberly asked, fear in her eyes. "Yes, Kimberly. I... I tried so hard to beg him but Leandro has made up his mind" Hayden shook his head sadly and Kimberly felt her soul leaving her body. "What did... Did he say my punishment will be?" She asked, fearing what the response would be. "You and I are going to be sent out of the Pack, Kim. We are going to be banished to become rogues"Kimberly gasped, her eyes dilating in shock. She had been expecting such punishment for herself but including Hayden in the punishment when he barely did anything was too brutal, right?"I am sorry, Hayden. I caused all of this" Kimberly lowered her gaze to the floor, her eyes filling up with tears. A smirk appeared on Hayden's lips. "If I did not do that, you would not be in thi
Few days later"You have something to tell me?" Leandro asked, sitting behind the desk at the company. Having being away for quite a long time, he had loads of work to deal with "Yes, Alpha Leandro" Hayden replied and the formal tone made Leandro look away from the file he had been reading through. "What is the issue?" Leandro questioned and Hayden sighed before dropping down to his knees. "What did you do?" Leandro questioned, his brows arching. "I am really sorry, Leandro but I... I told Kimberly about the curse and back then, she was the one who faked the curse. You were curious to know who faked the curse. It was Kimberly and it was my fault that she got to know about the curse in the first place. Please forgive me, Alpha Leandro" He apologized and Leandro lowered his gaze to the floor. "I knew you were hiding something""Kimberly is changed now. She faked the curse so that Larisa would die and she would be able to have you but she no longer wishes for that. She now loves me
Leandro was frozen on the spot as he stared at Luciano, his brother whom he thought was long dead. "Luciano? Is this really you?" Leandro asked, picking his words one after the other, wondering if this was Luciano or Luciano's ghost. "Leandro! It's me!" Luciano replied, standing a few meters away from Leandro with Alex standing behind him. "I really don't know why I did all of what I did twelve years ago and why I did what I did this time too. I don't...." Leandro walked towards Luciano and grabbed his arm."You are alive" he whispered and without letting Luciano say another word, he pulled him into a tight hug. "Luciano, you are alive""I am sorry for all I did, Leandro. I really don't know why I did all of it.""It doesn't matter, Luciano. It was not your fault." Luciano wrapped his arms around his brother and the others stared at the reunited brothers hugging each other. "Alex" Larisa called out to Alex and Alex walked over to her side. "Where did you find Luciano?" Larisa as
Larisa had a playful frown on her face as Leandro walked into the living room with a bag in his right hand and a smile on his face. The smile faded when he saw the look on her face. "Hey" he called softly, walking towards the sofa where she was seated.Larisa turned away from his gaze and Leandro held her wrist. "Did something happen while I was away?" He asked. "Where have you been all these while?" Larisa asked, shooting him a glare. "I have been preparing something" Leandro replied. "What were you preparing that took you away for hours? Your pup missed you so much already""Oh, is that it?" Leandro asked, lowering his gaze to her stomach. "Oh my dear pup" he bent down and kissed her stomach."Your dad is here now, do you forgive dad now?" He asked and pressed his left ear to her stomach. "I think she just said yes" Leandro chuckled. "I have told you already it is a he" Larisa's facials eased as Leandro sat up to look at her face. "Was it just my pup who missed me? Or did
"Here you go, your meal for the evening" Alex dropped the tray of food on the bedside table. "You really are not going to let me go?" Luciano asked. "Not until I am sure that you are changed and you promise me to disappear from the Pack immediately" Alex replied and Luciano rolled his eyes, his gaze landing on the tray of food."Did you add that substance into this meal again? The substance to make me weaker?" Luciano questioned. "Believe what you want to believe, Sir Luciano" Alex replied and Luciano shook his head. "If this has the substance in it, you will get weaker but still, if you do not eat it, you will be hungry and remain weak. So in anyways, you are staying weak" Alex added and Luciano frowned deeply. "You are something else but you just wait till I am out of here" Luciano threatened and picked the tray of food, dropping it on his laps. "Leandro and Larisa are still having a sweet, happy life?" Luciano asked. "Yes and they do not need you, Sir Luciano to disturb thei
