An Affair With The Alpha

Chapter two

LARISSA’s POV

The day was starting on a terrible note for me. I had woken up early that morning with a headache that almost tampered with my vision. Despite that, I struggled to get going with my activities and duties for the day since I was a servant in the pack. The workload was a lot for me, and despite how long I’ve been at the pack, it was quite hard to get used to it. During my personal chaos, I had mistakenly broken a cup, one that the head servant valued so much and treated with care.The look in her eyes was enough to send cold shivers down my spine, and I wasn’t entirely surprised when a fierce slap landed across my face."You fool! Do you have any sight at all?" She growled out of her lungs just as the intensity of my headache heightened.My throat tightened, and my stomach turned in fear, just as I held on to my cheeks and allowed the tears to freely flow out of my eyes.She walked closer to me and grabbed me again by my shirt, glaring into my eyes as though I were a prey she was ready to pounce on."You would be greatly punished for this! Mark my words," she huffed and finally pushed me aside.With shaky hands and a shallow breath, I crouched on the ground and picked up the pieces of glass, treading carefully to avoid getting grazed by them.My life hasn’t been entirely nice; it has been the opposite of how I wanted or dreamed of living. But then, I never made to complain because I believed that the moon goddess had a reason for every single thing that happened in one's life. At this point, I held on to my role as a servant, hoping that the story would change some more day, even if I never saw that becoming a reality.

"For the start of your punishment, you would scrub the entire mansion today! Without leaving an exception," the head servant blared again just as she walked closer to me.I jolted upright and stared at her with an inquisitive look, hoping that she was only making a mistake. However, she was dead serious, and I needed no one to tell me that it was going to be a very long day. "Including the alpha’s quarters?" I stuttered just as I asked.

We all had our appointed areas for chores. All through my stay at the pack, I never went over to clean the alpha’s quarters since it wasn’t my area.

"Every single place in the mansion, including the alpha’s quarters!" The head servant said defiantly while I gulped down the lump that had already formed in my throat.

I picked up the bucket and mop, and with tears in my eyes, I proceeded to start the long day.

Firstly, I started off with the various hallways and some rooms. Finally, I got to the alpha’s quarters, but there seemed to be an ongoing argument between him and his Luna.

My heart trembled at that point, since it felt awkward to key in to their affairs. I tried to move away from the door, but my curiosity held on to me and left me stuck right there by the door.

And then, I heard a statement that came from the alpha…one that made my stomach hurt and my palms wet.

"Can’t I make love to my Luna?" The voice of the alpha echoed continuously in my ears, that I lost track of other details of the argument. I was smart enough to know that they were having issues relating to making love.

The moment I heard the sound of the Luna approaching the door, I dashed out of the premises and decided to focus on cleaning other parts of the mansion that I had yet to touch.

Just then, I caught sight of Alpha Damien. His mood was sour, and I needed no one to tell me that he was having a bad morning. He went over to the council room while I continued with my work.

My strength was beginning to fail me at this point, but I knew the punishment that would be waiting for me if I failed to get done with my chores.

I walked slowly, as though the wind carried me. With each step I took, it felt as though I was now floating in the air, due to how fragile I was.

Almost immediately, someone bumped into me, causing me to lose the last strength I had.I landed on the ground with a thud, with the bucket and mop shattering and scattering on the ground. A small groan escaped my lips, and I quickly looked up to catch sight of who it was. My mouth dropped when I observed that it was Alpha, Damien.

"What the hell!" I muttered under my breath as I watched him enter his room.

The aura he carried was quite difficult to ignore. He appeared to be deplorable, and from what I heard earlier, I could say that it was because of his Luna.

I finally struggled and got back to my feet, ignoring the slight scratch on my knees. My day was already bad, and I wasn’t expecting anything better.

Limping slowly, I made my way towards his room, trying to stop my heart from beating. With shaky hands, I knocked on the door. At first, I heard no response, but at the second attempt, he mumbled some words, which I passed on to be an entry invite.My feet felt wobbly as I walked into the room, trying to stop them from giving me away.

He was sitting at the end of his bed, with his head lowered to the ground and his mind engulfed in a series of thoughts. The alpha always appeared to be happy and fulfilled, but meeting him in such a state made me quite surprised.

Just then, he turned his head and fixed his gaze on me. My breath seemed to have ceased instantly as I tried to remain stable and focus on my work. In the midst of my scattered thoughts, I heard the sound of ascension footsteps, he was walking towards me
