Larisa walked into the training grounds, her hair packed into a tight bun. She was wearing a black on black attire and she looked beautiful and smart to say the least. Her blue eyes looked around the training grounds and wavered as soon as it landed on one of the trainers, Kimberly. "Kimberly is now a trainer?" She mumbled and bit down on her lips. It was a new session for the trainees. The previous set trainees had left and although she had been among the previous set of trainees, she could not leave. For seven years, she had been a trainee. Every wolf without a wolf side spent a year as an official trainee and the unlucky ones spent two years as a trainee. They had to spend a year learning basic fighting skills and as soon as they got their wolf side, they would be getting ready to leave the training field for another level of training, a training that involved the freshly shifted wolves. But Larisa had spent seven years as a trainee. She was supposed to find her wolf side at

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

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

"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,

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.
