Larisa was seated on the floor, shattered and in her human side, naked.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as the discovery had broken her completely. Finding her wolf side was supposed to be a huge relief, it was supposed to provide her with the happiness she sought.She had desperately hoped and prayed for her wolf side to be strong and powerful but all hopes was now gone.She was not strong or powerful, she wasn't even a normal wolf. She was an omega! The lowliest of the wolves.There was barely any difference between being a wolfless girl and being an omega....No, there was a difference.A wolfless girl could hope to have a strong wolf but an omega had no hopes.It was the end."Larisa, you do not have to cry this much" her grandma wrapped her arm around her and patted her gently."At least you now have your wolf side""It is not enough, granny" Larisa cried."It's never going to end now. They are never going to stop picking on me" she cried."Picking on you?" Her grandmother pulled away from the hug and glanced at Larisa who lowered her head, realizing she had just spilled what she had been hiding for years."Are they picking on you? All these while?""No... I... That was a slip of tongue" Larisa tried to deny but her grandmother was not having it."So all these while, you have been suffering out there? And you come home and tell I and your brother that everything is fine and you are doing okay? Why would you do that? "Larisa sobbed and palmed her face while her grandmother waited for a response."Why did you hide it from us, Larisa? We are your family!""Because I didn't want to trouble you!" Larisa shot her head up and wiped her tears with the back of her hands."You are usually home, cooking and ensuring that everything is in place. That's stressful enough for you and brother? He has to go to work so early and come back so late just so he can cater for us! And me? I am useless enough. I try to get a job and they don't want someone who can't mindlink, they don't want someone without the strength only a wolf possess! I have been useless all along. I.... I did not want to disturb the both of you even more" she broke down into sobs."Larisa" her grandmother called softly and draped her arm around Larisa warmly."You should have told us still, Larisa. And you are not useless at all. We love you. I and Alex love you a lot. Whatever has to do with you cannot be a bother.""You are beautiful.....""Not about being beautiful again!" Larisa cried out."I would rather have a face filled with scars" she cried."With a beautiful face and no strength, the only job and position I can attain is the Pack's slut! The best I can get is in different men's beds""And now..." Her voice cracked."And now that I have my wolf, I have to be an omega" she cried and then she felt another hurt within her.It was her wolf side hurting, it was most probably feeling bad that its human didn't want her at all. It was probably feeling useless just like Larisa had felt all these years.Larisa decided not to talk about it anymore. She didn't want to hurt her wolf side more than her words already did."Calm down, Larisa. You are not going to be a Pack slut. I can see it, I can feel it, you are destined for much more" her grandmother said."It's okay, grandma. I... I want to sleep now" she got up from the floor on wobbly feet and got onto her bed.She pulled the sheets over her head quickly and closed her eyes."Alright. I will bring your food in so you can eat later"Larisa gave no response to that. She heard her grandmother sigh and her footsteps as she walked out of the room, shutting the door gently behind her.Just a few minutes later, Larisa heard the door open again.Her grandmother was back with the meal. With a tug, the old lady pulled the sheets off Larisa and pressed a kiss to her forehead.Tears rolled down silently as Larisa listened to the old lady's footsteps fading away.The next dayLarisa remained in her room, the tray of food her grandma had brought the previous night remained on the table where she had dropped it.Larisa had no interest in anything, eating or going for another as a trainee. It was useless to do so now. She had her wolf side, an omega."Larisa!" She heard her brother's voice, Alex.He had been banging her door since the early hours of the day, urging her to open the door but Larisa could not open the door to face him.Many times, she had assured him that once she got her wolf side, she would help him, working hard and making money with him so that they could take care of their lives even better. She did not know how she could face him now and tell him that none of that was going to be possible."Larisa, open the door. Let's talk""I don't want to talk, Alex! I don't want to" she cried."She is bent on not opening the door still?" She heard the voice of her grandma."She is not opening up. I just hope she is not harming herself.""Larisa" her grandma called with a small knock on the door."Open the door. I already told you last night that it is okay. You do not have to feel too bad about it. Alex wants to talk to you before he goes to work. You know how he is, he won't go to work if he does not see you so open the door, Larisa" her grandmother cooed.Larisa gave no response. Their words were supposed to comfort her, make her feel better but the words did none of that. Their words, instead, stabbed her like a dagger.Every word they said seemed to remind her how huge of a failure she was to them."Alex, you are going to be late. You should get going now, I will talk to Larisa and you are going to meet her in a better mood when you are back."There was silence for some seconds before Larisa heard Alex whisper a soft 'yes'.About two minutes later, there was another knock on the door."Larisa, grandma has a solution to you being an omega. You do not have to be an omega for life. You can change your fate."Larisa's eyes widened and she threw the sheets off her body."Are you saying this just so I can open the door?" Larisa asked, skeptic about it."Of course not. There is a way but I am not telling you while you keep yourself locked in" the old lady replied and Larisa suddenly found strength in her legs.She walked to the door and unlocked the door."Finally, Larisa" the old lady pulled Larisa into a warm hug."You have no idea how worried Alex would be on his way to work"Larisa pulled away from the hug and held her grandmother vy the shoulders."What is the solution? How can I change this fate?" She asked with desperate eyes.Her grandmother sighed, took Larisa's hands and led her to the couch in the room.The both of them settled on the couch."Have you had your first sex yet?" Her grandmother asked and Larisa felt her cheeks heat up.Most wolves her their first sex at age 18 when they met their mates and others who met their mate a bit later had theirs at age 19 or 20 but she was 25 and absolutely single."No" was her response, lowering her gaze."But what does that have to do with me being an omega?" She asked curiously."It's good. Good thing you are still untouched. You just have to find a strong and powerful male wolf who has enough wolf energy you can suck some off from. And then you get him to be your first. By having your first sex with him, you will be able to get some wolf energy from him. ""Really?""I would never lie about things like this. I didn't want to tell you about this but I guess....""I will do it" Larisa cut her off and got up from the couch.She looked into the mirror and saw the sad but yet beautiful figure staring back at her.Perhaps it was time to put her beauty into use. Time to seduce the strongest male wolf she could find.And who else could be the perfect male wolf, if not him? The strongest of the Pack....Alpha Leandro.Alpha Leandro stood, facing his window with a picture in his hand. His brows were pulled into an expression that could not be read.A knock came on the door and his cold eyes blinked. "Come in" his voice was almost inaudible.He dropped the picture in his hand on the table.The door opened and a maid walked into the room. She looked really nervous and scared, even. Her knees were visibly bucking and her eyes blinked repeatedly."Alpha" she called, obviously doing a lot of work keeping her voice firm."Drop the cup of coffee" Leandro said, not sparing her a glance.The maid hurried to drop the cup of coffee on the table but her shaky legs could not hold her for long.Just as she got to the table, her legs shook terribly and she lost control of the cup in her hands.The coffee spilled on the table, quickly getting to the picture on the table.The maid panicked and quickly got on her knees."I am sorry, Alpha. I am really sorry" she apologized repeatedly with her voice cracking terribly
The next dayLarisa 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 change
Larisa ran into the house with her arms spread wide apart. She let out an excited scream that startled her grandmother and Alex who was already back from work. Alex who had been thinking he would have to comfort her for the night was quite taken aback to see her so happy. "You are good?" He was the first to ask. Larisa grinned at him and did a quick spin in the middle of the room. "I got a job!" "Really?" Alex stood up.Larisa nodded happily. "Though the pay is low but I got the job... As a personal maid for the Alpha" Larisa replied and Alex's face turned sour suddenly. "You got a job close to the Alpha?" He asked. "Yes? You are not happy for me?" Larisa asked. "You can't get a job somewhere else?" Alex asked and Larisa's brows pulled close. "You don't want me to work near the Alpha? Is there a reason why....""I just don't want it! It's silly! You will become like those girls out there, drooling over him soon enough" Alex clenched his fists. "Alex" grandmother called. "
"Mate" his wolf side called out excitedly but Leandro simply groaned. He didn't want this... It meant that she had gotten her wolf side. Was she going to lurk around him and never leave now that she had figured out that they were mates?Their eyes were still locked onto each other as they stared deeply into each other's eyes as if to bring out secrets and emotions they had buried long away. As if wanting to keep those secrets and emotions buried, Leandro was the first to look away."You are my...." She tried saying but he cut her off."Don't say the word" his cold voice made her stop talking. He looked back at her, making sure their eyes met again. He let out a puff of hot breath through his lips and got up from his chair, quickly pulling himself together. He had to reject her immediately."I am not your whatever" his deep voice resounded through the room. Larisa gulped down. Even though, she was not here for his love and she didn't want to be his mate after he had abandoned her,
A smile parted Larisa's lips as she heard him say those words. She had won and this was going to be the beginning of her good luck and victory in life. "Thank you Leandro""Alpha Leandro" he corrected her sharply. Larisa wanted to argue. Wouldn't it be easier to seduce him if she could call him by name? But she decided to stick to calling his name with respect; for now."Thank you Alpha Leandro" she corrected herself. "What are you doing? Get to work already" he walked into the bathroom. Larisa let out a breath she had not even realized she was holding. Her eyes closed momentarily and then she set to work immediately. She was genuinely excited about having a job. After laying the bed, she stopped, realising she was not with the cleaning tools. She left the room to get the cleaning tools but by the time she was back, she could no longer scent him out. He had left the room already, most probably for work. The files on the table had been cleared up. Larisa shut the door behind he
Larisa chewed on her lower lip for a few seconds before hurrying to catch up with Leandro who was just about to take the stairs."Alpha Leandro" she dashed in front of him, making him stop. His ever cold gaze settled on her with a questioning look. "What would you like to eat? I have prepared different dishes already. " Larisa asked, the words had slipped out of her mouth before she realised it was silly to her goals.'Slow, I am just starting slowly' she made a mental note to herself. "Leave""Ugh?" Her jaw dropped slightly and his gaze on her turned a bit more intent. "You heard me quite well. You should get off work now and resume tomorrow. I have had enough of your presence today" he said and brushed past her, intentionally letting his shoulder push against her own shoulder. A look of hurt washed across Larisa's face but she was quick to replace it with a fake smile. Larisa wanted to go after him and insist that her job for the day was not over but she decided not to do so.
'I can't do this' Those words rang in Leandro's head and he suddenly let go of Larisa, giving her a small shove that sent her staggering her forward. "I... I am sorry" Larisa apologized, staring at the floor. She did not want him to see her flushed face. Leandro glanced down at the tent that had built in his trousers and then at Larisa and then he quickly looked away. "Let me have my suitcase" he requested for the suitcase that had dropped from his hand when he held her from falling.Larisa quickly did as he had asked her and handed it over to him. She watched him walk out of the room and shut the door behind him. Larisa rested her back against the door and breathed out heavily. She slapped her cheek repeatedly as her racing heart started to slow down. All she had had in mind was to seduce him. She had not taken into consideration that she was not a robot programmed to seduce. She was human who could be seduced while trying to seduce. "Don't think about his body, Larisa. He is
Larisa fell back to the floor, tired and utterly exhausted. She glanced at the wristwatch that adorned her wrist.If she was right, Leandro would be back home in few minutes. She had to make sure dinner was on the table by the time he was back. She had just finished cooking and would do almost anything to be able to get a few hours of rest. She had worked all day and her bones hurt badly.She hit the floor in her frustration. "I am going to die if I spend too much time in this house, cleaning it alone. I have to get what I want and leave as soon as possible" she mumbled and got back on her feet. Larisa had just finished setting the table when she heard the car pulling in. He was back. She quickly stood straight and dusted her uniform. Her hand reached for her hair that was now being held in a ponytail with a proper band. She let her hair down and ran her fingers through it a couple of times. She hoped the exhaustion and tiredness was not telling on her face. Masking up with a
