A Job

The next day

Larisa sat in her bed, her legs stretched out. She had her phone in her hands as she nervously tapped on it.

"How is it going? Do I have any hope of getting a job?" She texted Alex.

It was evening already but it would still be a few hours before Alex would be back from work and she just couldn't wait anymore to know if he had been able to get to the beta and if she could really get a job.

She stared at the screen of the phone waiting for him to view her message and give a response.

"Maybe he is not on a break right now" she mumbled and sighed.

Larisa threw herself back on the bed and stared at the ceiling above her.

She suddenly remembered him, Leandro. His eyes that seemed to be a window into a world, a paradise that he had built himself, his hair that he had so much loved to run his hands through, hair that she thought she would be able to run her own fingers through and then his lips, lips that she thought she would get drunk with its taste but all of that had changed now.

She sat up right back, resting against the headboard. She no longer wanted him at all, she only needed him to be strong. That was all this was going to be about.

Her phone suddenly beeped and Larisa quickly checked the screen. Alex had sent back a message to her.

She quickly opened it but as soon as she saw the message, she felt her heart sink and her eager eyes lost their glitter.

"I am sorry, Larisa but the beta said there is no way you can work for the Alpha"

The message read.

Larisa dropped the phone and palmed her face. How in the world was she going to get him to sleep with her if she could not get closer to him?

"No, I can't give up. There has to be a way to get close to him" she mumbled and got out of bed.

She opened her closet and picked a random black jeans and a blue shirt. She put it on and grabbed a face cap, swinging it on.

It was to prevent her from being easily recognised. She didn't want to meet with people and have to tell them she was no longer a wolfless girl but an omega wolf.

She slipped her phone into her pocket and walked out of her room.

She hurried down the stairs to the living room where Grandma was sitting and watching a TV show.

"I need to go out and get fresh air" Larisa gave the older lady a cool smile and rushed out of the door before she could be asked more questions.

Larisa walked down the lonely streets, racking her brain for a way to get closer to the Alpha.

"Should I just go for another man? Someone who is not so hard to get to?" She asked herself but shook the thoughts away almost immediately.

She needed as much powers as she could get. It was the Alpha or nothing.

A bike sped past her and Larisa stopped for a while, turning her head and staring at the bike.

A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips but she switched the smile to a frown. Bikes reminded her of him, Leandro. The few times she had ever been on a bike had been with him.

She simply wanted to bury all of those memories she had with him during that one year of her training.

Larisa noticed a taxi approaching and quickly waved it to a stop.

She slipped in immediately.

"The Alpha's Estate" she said to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver turned to glance at her for a second before revving the car into motion. The drive was about 30 minutes long.

Larisa settled the driver and stared at the huge Estate that belonged to the most prominent man in the Pack.

"Hello, what are you here for?" A man dressed in black suit asked, approaching her. He had to be one of the securities.

Larisa racked her brain for a response. She had to have a motive to go into the Alpha's home.

"Oh, I am a new maid in the mansion" she lied and his eyes narrowed at her.

"I have never seen you before"

"Like I said earlier, I am new" Larisa replied.

"Take your face cap off" the man said to her.

Larisa didn't hesitate to do so, knowing that hesitation would only make her seem more suspicious.

She raised her head up to look at the man who was a bit taller than she was. A smile parted his face as he saw her face.

"What a beautiful maid this Estate got"

"What's going on?" Another security, a bit shorter than the first one approached them and Larisa bit on her lower lip, hoping she would eventually get to go in.

"She is a new maid" the other one replied the just approaching security.

"Why are you delaying her, then? Don't tell me you are suspecting such a beautiful lady?" The shorter security asked.

"I know, right? I must be a fool to suspect her." The first one agreed and Larisa was glad in her heart.

"You should go in already. Do you have a mate already? If not, do you mind giving me your contact?" The shorter security asked, taking a few steps closer to her.

"Uhm... Maybe later. I need to get in now" she replied and fitted her face cap back on her head.

She ran into the Estate while the securities just smiled.

Larisa ran for a few minutes before stopping in front of the huge and grand mansion, the centre of attraction in the estate. The personal mansion of Alpha Leandro.

It was beautiful.

"Monsters like him get beautiful things" she let out a sad chuckle.

"You cannot be serious?! You have worked for two weeks" a middle aged lady was talking to a young girl dressed as a maid.

The girl was on her knees with tears in her eyes.

"You were so sure you could work for him" the lady yelled.

"I... I thought I could" the girl stuttered.

Larisa walked closer to the both of them.

"Now I have to find someone else to work as the Alpha's personal maid" the ady seemed really frustrated.

"At least, you could have given me a week notice so I could find someone else soon"

"The Alpha told me not to show up again" the girl cried.

"This is my chance" Larisa mumbled in realization.

There could be no better luck. Being a personal maid to the Alpha was the closest anyone could be.

"Excuse me ma'am" Larisa spoke softly and gently tapped her shoulders.

"Yes?" The lady seemed irritated.

"I could take the job. I can start as soon as you want me to. You do not have to spend time searching for another maid. I can do it" Larisa replied, almost rushing her words.

There was a scoff.

"Who are you? Are you one of those girls who just want to be close to the hot sex idol-ish Alpha?" She asked.

"No, not at all" Larisa shook her head.

"I am just badly in need of a job"

"Alright" the older lady looked at her from her toe to her face cap.

"Take it off"

Larisa removed the face cap.

"What is your wolf status?" She asked and Larisa feared the rejection that would come.

"I'm an... An omega but I really work hard and I am pretty strong. I have a high level of endurance. I can endure almost anything" she rushed her words.

"An omega?! And you think you can work for the Alpha!"

"Please just have me work. I won't disappoint you. You will be surprised at how much I can do" she replied.

"Fine. I don't have much options for now so you will do while I search for someone else. If you do well like you claim you will, I will quit the search for someone else" she replied and a huge smile parted Larisa's lips.

"Thank you ma'am" she bowed deeply.

"But hey, if you work for less than a month and someone else replaces you, you won't be getting any pay from me. If you work over a month which will be a wonder, I will pay you for the month"

"I agree ma'am."

"And... Since you are an omega, this is a huge chance for you already. I will be paying you only half the pay"

Larisa needed no one to tell her that the lady was keeping the other half for herself.

She forced a smile and bowed deeply again.

"I agree"

She wasn't chasing the money after all, she was chasing sex with the hot, sexy Alpha....

No, that was not it, she was chasing power.
