The Cursed Alpha's Hidden Luna

CHAPTER TWO

Anna (POV)

My hands were shaking as I cleaned the bathroom. I kept thinking about that awful night how Alpha Alexandro saved me and about how bad it almost was.

"Anna! Come here!"

I jumped. The brush fell from my hands into the tub.

I dried my hands and ran out. Francesco stood in the hall.

"Yes, sir?"

"Room 1205 needs cleaning now." He gave me a key card. "This guest is really important. Don't mess up."

I nodded and grabbed my cleaning cart. My feet hurt from working all day, but I didn't complain. I needed this job.

I pushed my cart down the hall to room 1205 the best room in the hotel.

I knocked. "Housekeeping."

No answer.

I used the key card. The door opened.

The room was huge. Giant windows showed the whole city, and there was fancy furniture and a big bed. The room cost more than my monthly pay.

"Hello?" I called. "Anyone here?"

Nothing.

Good. I could clean alone.

I cleaned the bathroom first. Then I went to change the bed.

"Anna.”

I turned. Francesco stood at the door. "Sir? I'm almost done..."

"Come here." His voice sounded weird.

I stepped back. Something was wrong. His eyes looked strange.

"Sir, let me finish..."

"I said come here." He walked closer and pulled out a small bottle from his pocket. There was a red liquid inside.

My heart started beating fast. "What's that?"

"Something to help you relax." He opened it. A sweet smell filled the room, making my head feel funny. "Drink it."

"No." I backed up until I hit the bed. "I don't want..."

Francesco grabbed my arm hard and pushed the bottle to my mouth.

"Drink it."

The liquid went into my mouth. I tried to spit it out, but he put his hand over my mouth. I couldn't breathe. I had to swallow.

It tasted really sweet, like honey and flowers.

The room started spinning. My legs felt weak , I grabbed the bed.

"What did you do?" My words sounded strange.

"The alpha is coming," Francesco said. "You'll do what I say. Understand?"

I wanted to say no. I wanted to run. But my body wouldn't listen to me.

Francesco's voice was in my head. "When he gets here, kiss him. Make him want you. Do whatever he wants."

"No," I whispered. But my voice was fading away.

Everything got blurry. I was falling.

Then everything went black.

Alexandro (POV)

I finally left the meeting; my head hurt, and I was tired.

I needed to be alone away from everyone.

The Grand Hotel was safe.No pressure.

Just quiet.

"Alpha Alexandro! We didn't know you were coming..." the woman at the reception said.

"I need a room. Top floor. Quiet."

"Yes! Right away." "Room 1205. Our best room."

I took the keycard.

The room was perfect. Dark. Quiet. Just what I needed.

I loosened my tie and looked out the window.

A sound made me turn. The bathroom door was open.

A woman came out.

She was small.She was small and young.

"Who are you?" I asked. "How did you get in here?"

She didn't answer. She walked toward me slowly.

She reached up and touched my face. Her hand was soft and warm.

She kissed me.

My body froze. I should push her away.

But when her lips touched mine, everything changed.

Heat coursed through me. My head became fuzzy. That sweet smell… flowers and honey… filled my nose. I couldn't think.

What was happening?

I tried to step back, but my legs wouldn't move. She came closer, her hands on my shoulders. The kiss deepened. I kissed back. No. This was wrong.

But my body didn't care. My hands pulled her closer; we fell onto the bed.

Her skin was soft. Her breath was warm. Every touch felt like fire.

I tried to fight it.

But whatever drug this was… it was too strong.

The last thing I saw was her sad eyes. Then everything went black.

Anna (POV)

I woke up.

My head hurt badly, and my body ached.

Where was I?

I sat up slowly. Silk sheets fell off my naked body. I panicked. I grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around me. My heart was beating so fast. This wasn't my room. This wasn't my bed. The suite. The hotel suite. I remembered. Francesco. The bottle. The red drink... Oh no. I looked next to me. Alpha Alexandro Romano. The most powerful alpha anywhere. And I was in his bed. With no clothes. What did I do? What did Francesco make me do? I got out of bed quietly, my legs shaking. My clothes were on the floor. I grabbed them and put them on fast. I had to leave before he woke up. Too late. "Who are you?" His voice was sharp and angry. I turned. Alpha Alexandro sat up. I couldn't move. "I asked who you are." He stood up. "What are you doing here?" "I...I'm sorry..." I could barely speak. He looked at the messy bed, at me, at my wrinkled clothes and tangled hair. I saw him understand, then get really angry. "You're one of them," he said quietly. "One of those women who tries to get pregnant…”"One of those women who tries to get pregnant for money."

"No! I didn't..."

"Don't lie! You did this on purpose. You probably hope you're pregnant now."

Tears filled my eyes. "Please, you don't understand..."

"I understand." He stepped closer. "You want money. You're a w***e. Like all the others."

That word hurt like he hit me.

"Get out," he said. "Get out now. And if I see you again, you'll be sorry.”
