The next dayLeandro wiped his sweaty forehead. He had just finished a long run which he almost always started his day with. He glanced at the wall clock in his room. It was almost 6:30 but Larisa was not in his room.For a moment, he wondered if she had given up on working after having to do so much the previous day. "That would be great" he mumbled underneath his breath and walked into the bathroom to wash up. He took a shower and when he was back into the room, Larisa still was not in the room. "She really has given up" he affirmed and went on to dress up. He dressed up in a white shirt white trousers. Black was his favourite but white suited him perfectly too. He sat before his desk. It was a weekend, a day he went to work pretty late. He glanced at the files on his table. They were related to what was going on in the Pack at the moment. He opened the first one and the first notable incident was the death of two people who had suddenly died at the same time with their face
Larisa ran as fast as she could, up the stairs that led to Leandro's room. Tired and exhausted from working so hard the previous day, she had slept too much and woke up extremely late. She had dressed up in a hurry but it was not enough to cover up for her lateness. She reached his door and stopped, breathing heavily. She breathed in and out and adjusted her maid's dress. She knocked on the door and waited for the usual response. She knocked a second time when she got no response. She could scent him so she knew that he was in the room and not at work yet. This time, she got the usual response.She opened the door and rushed into the room. Leandro was seated on the sofa in the room, his right leg over his left leg. His gaze raised and he looked at her with the most irritating look ever. "I am really sorry, Alpha Leandro. I will try hard and cover up every single task of the day" she rushed her words."And do you think that will be the end of this?" He asked. "I really am sorr
Leandro glanced at Larisa. There was a look on her face; a look that had not been there before the guard walked in. Whatever that look was, it had to be about what the guard just said. Did Larisa and Kimberly have a bad relationship?"Leave and get to your work" Leandro said to her."Yes, Alpha" she walked out of the room without a single attempt to remain there for longer.Leandro let out a loud groan. How in the world could he have let her get to him so easily?Wasn't he the one who had promised himself over and over again that morning that he would never have anything to do with her? Where had that resolution gone when she stood right in front of him, making him breath in nothing but her lovely scent? Where had that resolution gone to when she touched his face? Where the hell had it gone to when he almost kissed her?Damn!He was sure those lips of hers had to be addictive. One taste of those and he would crave it again and again and that was going to be the beginning of her fall
"Lady Anna" Larisa stretched her arms. "Yes?""Do I really have to clean all the rooms every day? There is barely anything to clean daily" Larisa said. "Just make sure it's not dirty. Not even a speck of dust in any of the rooms." Lady Anna replied and Larisa heaved a sigh of relief. "Yes, about the Alpha's laundry, where do I take them to?" She asked and Lady Anna pressed her lips into a thin line. "Alpha Leandro asked for you to do the laundry personally"Larisa's jaw dropped. "Personally?""Yes" Lady Anna affirmed and placed her hands on Larisa's shoulders. "I honestly think you are doing so much even though it's been a few days only. You can quit and be free of this""No, I am fine. Very fine" Larisa forced out smiles. "Alright. Take a look at all those leaves scattered around" Lady Anna looked towards the huge trees in the compound that had dropped their leaves."You should clean that up too""Yes ma'am" she forced another smile. Lady Anna walked away and Larisa got to cl
Larisa was back in her apartment. It was around 12am, midnight and she was finally free from the load of tasks and the meaningless tasks Kimberly had added onto it. The soft bed was a big consolation for her. Too tired to do anything, Larisa fell asleep immediately but only few minutes into her sleep, her phone rang, disturbing her sleep. "Can I have a little time to myself?" She grumbled, reaching for her phone. She was going to turn the phone off but seeing that it was Alex calling, she decided to pick the call. It was weird for him to call her so late and she hoped nothing was wrong. "Hey Alex, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" She asked. "Of course not. I have good news for you in fact" "You could not wait till daybreak to tell me?" Larisa felt like the whole world was just against her resting. "Won't you ask me what good news it is?""Fine, what is this good news that could not wait?""I found a job for you! A very good one at that. The pay is higher than your pay a
Leandro knew he was not supposed to be doing this. He knew he was supposed to be pushing her away, keeping her at a distance, to keep her safe but at this moment, he did not mind being selfish. She had started it and he could not end it so easily. His left hand on her face tucked her hair behind her ear as he walked a few steps towards the wall, not daring to break the kiss. Larisa moaned into his mouth as her back hit the wall and he took his lips off hers for a moment, letting her catch her breath. With their foreheads pressed together, he looked into her eyes and he could feel her eyes trying to break him; trying to break the walls he had built so strongly. His gaze fell back onto her lips, wets and full with the upper lip retaining its beautiful cupid bow shape. He wanted more of it. He went for another taste of her lips and this time his lips took hers hungrily. His mouth covered hers as he sucked and licked on every inch of her lips. His mouth was devouring hers and Larisa
Long minutes later, Larisa was done cleaning the room. She walked out of the room and met Kimberly standing by her own door. "Why did you take so much time to clean his already clean room?" Kimberly asked. "Kimberly, this is childish" Larisa spoke up. "Childish?" Kimberly chuckled. "I don't care and how many times do I have to tell you it is Miss Kimberly?" She asked and before Larisa could give any response to her, Kimberly breathed in deeply and so noticeably that Larisa said nothing. For the next few seconds, Kimberly sniffed the air, walking towards Larisa. "You bitch" she muttered with furious eyes. "Why is Alpha Leandro's scent on you?" She asked. "What do you mean, Miss Kimberly?" Larisa asked, refusing to be intimidated by her furious eyes. "You didn't have this scent on when you went into his room. Tell me what did you do?" She demanded. "I do not think I necessarily have to reveal everything about myself to you, Miss Kimberly. Even a maid can keep a few things to h
Still trying hard to stop crying, Larisa picked up every piece of the torn pictures. She was going to put it together but she knew that picture was never going to be the same. She hated Kimberly! She hated Leandro! She hated this weakling's life she was living. She was not meant to live this way. The moon goddess had made a mistake. She was supposed to be better, normal at least. She wiped her tears with her hands and placed the pieces of the picture on the kitchen counter. She tried putting them together but it was a bit hard as Kimberly had literally shred it into pieces. More tears streamed down as she found it hard to put the pieces together. Grabbing all of the pieces, Larisa walked off to Leandro's room. She had to let him know how his guest was treating her. Guests were supposed to be polite. They were not supposed to treat maids like this. She stormed off to his room, not minding that she still had the tears in her eyes. She barged into his room and found him seated
"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
