An Affair With The Alpha

Chapter five

DAMIEN’s POV..

For another time, I shifted uncomfortably on my bed. It seemed as though I could perceive the scent of her from each angle of my room. It’s been a week since our experience together, but despite how hard I tried to close that chapter, it remained.

Ella seemed to be in the busiest time of her life, and at this point, my attention span in that area was diminishing.It was hard to decipher if that was a good thing, especially since I was an alpha who already had his Luna. However, each time I recalled how Ella never deemed it fit to give me her time, I concluded that I was doing the right thing.

I missed the maid, and despite how awkward it sounded, I knew it was the truth. Somehow, I felt glad that something was taking my attention and not Ella’s constant nags and denials to satisfy me.

I paced around my room as I looked over at the servant in charge of preparing my bath. It felt strange that I was about to ask her about the servant , but I summoned the courage to do so."There is this servant with long, silky hair," I started describing her, and just as I did, my stomach swirled around in excitement.

"A young lady…", I stuttered, hoping that my emotions were not getting in the way.

The servant looked at me intently, after which her eyes opened in acknowledgement.

"Are you talking about Larissa?" She asked me calmly while I gulped down hard.

I never deemed it fit to ask her what her name was, and so, it was hard to tell if she was the one being talked about.

"She is average in height, with dark long hairs…she has the longest hair, different from every other servant," the servant who stood before me explained while I nodded my head calmly.

Indeed, her hair was longer than that of any servant in the mansion. That seemed to be the confirmation I needed.

"Yes! That should be her", I said calmly, with a fierce look that made it appear as though I wanted to punish the servant I asked about.

The servant’s face fell the moment I asked about her and for a minute, I wondered what might have gone wrong.

"Something happened earlier today, and she is being punished," the servant explained to me, and without stressing on the topic, I sent for the head servant.

A deep frown made its way across my face as I tried to think of why she would be punished at the moment. I wasn’t really concerned about that, but all I knew was that I had a dire need to see her.

The head servant came in almost immediately, with her face lowered to the ground in respect.

"Send for Larissa", I ordered, while she scrunched her brows and gave me a surprised look.

"Larissa?" She asked in a voice that sounded like a whisper.

I nodded my head calmly as I observed his restless she became the minute I mentioned her name.

"Is there a problem?" I inquired when I finally realized that she was quite reluctant to do as she had been told.

She cleared her throat and nodded in affirmation."Larissa stole my money yesterday. She is being punished currently", the head servant said, while I scrunched my brows in confusion.

The young lady I had seen some days ago wasn’t going to pass for a thief. I had no idea why I was certain about this, though, but the feeling was fierce.

"Where is she?" I asked in rage as I clenched my fist. I was only trying to keep up with the act since I was the alpha who would never condone such acts. Moreover, this seemed to be the perfect means to get Larissa to me, since the head servant would have been suspicious if I had sent for her without any reason.

"She is currently under the sun. Just like the rules, she would spend three hours there, after which the whip would be used on her", she explained, and I nodded my head in understanding.

My heart dropped as I tried to think of the pain she was currently going through, but almost immediately, I wore a bigger frown."Get her to me! I have to punish her myself", I said, in a deep and coarse voice that depicted rage.She nodded her head in understanding and dashed out of the room while I paced about.

I wasn’t entirely mad at Larissa for what they accused her of, but it was quite surprising to see how I made it seem as though I was.

In what seemed like a minute, they led her into my room and pushed her to the ground. She groaned in pain and whispered softly while I gulped down hard.

"Leave us!" I ordered and they walked out.

The atmosphere turned silent as I gazed at Larissa, who was now on the ground, whimpering softly and greatly unable to look at me. I couldn’t say why, but she appeared to be frightened and scared of what I may do.

"What did you do?" I asked quietly and slowly, she looked up and fixed her eyes on mine.

"I didn’t steal from anyone. I can’t steal," she muttered silently as she sniffed hard and wiped the tears off her eyes.

"You don’t have to believe me. No one does. I’m ready for whatever punishment you deem fit for me", she added, lowering her eyes to the ground again.

A small, mischievous smile made its way to my lips as I pulled her up and wiped off the tears that scattered across her face.

"I don’t care whether you did it or not. What I care about is this…",my voice trailed off as I placed my lips on hers and dug through her mouth.

She closed her eyes as the final tears in them flowed without caution. It got heated, and in no time, we were on the bed, exploring every part of each other and not willing to stop.

"I want you now… Alpha Damien", she gasped in delight, with her eyes tightly shut.

"Of course," I muttered with a small smile.
