Luciano's gaze was serious as Clarence walked into the room he was in. "How did it go?" He inquired. "Larisa Clements...." Clarence held up the strands of hair Luciano had given to her a few hours ago. "She is the moon blessed child" Clarence grinned. "She is the one we have been searching for all these while. She is the moon blessed child whose blood you need" Clarence added. "Wow. Larisa Clements is the one I need to kill""You know you have to do it. I hope what I see in your eyes is not reluctance" Clarence said. "It is definitely not reluctance. I will get get Larisa and I will not hesitate a single bit to get rid of her. I have waited for this all my life. The moment when I will finally be stronger and I will watch Leandro fall onto his knees, begging me to spare this doomed Pack""That's right. You cannot hesitate now. The coven is relying on you" Clarence bowed. "I know the perfect way to get Larisa out of Leandro's protection" an evil grin parted Luciano's lips. *The
Leandro was leaning against the black car, waiting for Larisa to show up. His gaze was on his wristwatch while his foot tapped the ground in an impatient fashion. It was obvious that he was excited for this date. It would be the very first date that he would be truly invested in. The very first date with Larisa and Larisa had insisted he stood outside by the car and wait for her to finish dressing up. Leandro was dressed up in suit and he was looking like the perfect gentleman. "Heavens, why is Risa not here yet?" Larisa groaned softly and almost immediately, his wolf side picked up her scent. Leandro readjusted his stance and straightened as he watched Larisa walk out of the door towards him. She was dressed in a beautiful, flowing black gown that had a red rose like print design on it. Her hair had been pulled into a beautiful bun, strands of it falling down her face and making her even more beautiful. Leandro felt his heart beat harder. "Hey" Larisa said softly, a gentle smi
Kimberly was huddled up on her bed in her room, her phone in her hand and her gaze on the screen. She scrolled lazily through the internet, barely finding interest in anything at all. She wanted something that would take her mind off Hayden and all she had done. After her talk with Hayden in the morning, Hayden had returned to ignoring her all day. He was in his room all day and it was killing Kimberly. She sighed and scrolled on boringly until she refreshed her feed. Kimberly's body stiffened and her eyes narrowed at the picture she had just seen. It was a picture of Leandro and Larisa. Kimberly felt her heart shattering and her eyes tearing up as she realized that Leandro was showing Larisa to the entire Pack. 'The Alpha takes a woman on a date. Could she be our future Luna?' the caption of the picture read. A quiet sob left Kimberly. It was now certain that she would never get Leandro. But still yet, she was eager to see the comments of the others, to know if people would be
Hayden froze, hearing that question from Kimberly. That was the last thing he expected to hear from her. He was surprised but was pleasantly so. Even if this was going to eventually happen, Hayden expected Kimberly to take much more time to process his feelings for her but Kimberly had popped up the question so soon. "I... I am sorry if you think that the question is weird. I will just..." Kimberly attempted to get off his laps but Hayden's grip tightened on her waist as he held her down onto his laps. "Yes""Ugh?""Yes, you can kiss me" he replied and a glint appeared in Kimberly's eyes. Before she could say a word, Hayden had leaned in close to her and took her lips into his, kissing her softly. It was the first kiss which was not a 'mistake' they would be apologizing for later on. Kimberly's arms wrapped around him as she reciprocated the kiss. Hayden nibbled gently on her lower lip and then licked on that spot, his tongue playing skillfully on her lip. Kimberly moaned softl
"Stop the car, please" Larisa said to the man driving the car. Leandro had insisted that she had to take someone along with her and in order not to raise too much suspicion, she had agreed with him easily. "Alright ma'am. But this place does not look like your home. Are you sure you would want to get down here?" The man asked and Larisa gave a small smile. "I would like to get down here. I will be going home after seeing someone here" She replied. "Yes, ma'am" The car was brought to a halt and Larisa stepped out of the car, clutching her handbag in one hand and her phone in the other hand. Larisa looked back at the man in the driver's seat and gave him a reassuring smile before facing the alleyway. The place was lonely and silent and gave Larisa an eerie feeling. Larisa considered just turning and leaving the place right away but she quickly shook the thought out of her head. She had to find everything out today. Larisa unlocked her phone and checked the address in the message
"Let's begin the meeting" Hayden said, standing by the side of Leandro who was seated in his magnificent chair while the other elders sat around the table. "We have all seen pictures of you, Alpha Leandro with a woman and upon our little investigation, we found out that she is Larisa Clements" one of the elders started. "And?" Leandro rested his gaze on the elder speaking, his tone impatient. "Larisa Clements is not amongst the list of eligible she wolves we compiled....""And am I obligated to pick only from the list you gave to me?" Leandro cut in. "Of course not, Alpha." The elder replied quickly."We just wonder why you would have chosen Larisa Clements" another elder said. "Larisa is my mate and she is the woman I am going to be with. She is the future Luna of the Pack and the only reason I am here is to inform you all of that. I and Larisa Clements will be getting married soon"Mumblings arose amidst the elders and continued until Leandro cleared his throat. "From now on,
Leandro parked his car in front of the black car. He stepped out of the car, clearly in worry and concern. "Alpha" the man standing by the car quickly greeted. "Where is Larisa?" Leandro questioned, ignoring the man's greeting. "She said she was going to see a friend around this place and asked me to wait here for her" the man replied innocently. Leandro growled and rushed to the man, slamming him into the car's body. "Where the fuck did I ask you to take her to? Why the heck would you bring her to a place like this?!" Leandro questioned, anger visible on his face. Fear crippled the man as his lips quivered. Leandro dropped him to the floor and let out a hot breath. "If I don't find her in an hour, you are dead. What way did she go?" "That way, Alpha" the man replied, pointing towards the path Larisa had walked through. "You pray I find her. If anything happens to her, you aren't dying alone but with your fucking family"Leandro began walking towards the path but stopped whe
Leandro got up from the body of Luciano, his claws dripping with Luciano's blood. He turned to look at Larisa who was now seated on the floor, looking tired and exhausted. Leandro let out a deep breath as he let his human features take over his wolf side. He walked over to Larisa and held her in his bloody hands. "Are you okay, Risa?" He asked her, his eyes scanning her body that was still covered in bruises. "I am sorry you had to go through this, Risa" he pulled her into a hug but Larisa could not hug him back, she only had one question for him. Pulling back weakly from the hug, she looked at Leandro. "Is anything wrong?" Leandro asked, noticing the look in her eyes. Larisa sucked in a huge amount of oxygen and a tear rolled down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away. "I want you to tell me the truth, Leandro" she started. "Let's get back home and have you treated first" Leandro said, more concerned about her safety and the safety of their pup more than the truth she wante
"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
