Chapter 7 To hide and handle things

Alpha Leonardo;

This little demon in front of me wasn't hiding the disgust that tore across her face. With how her tiny lips twisted a little at the mention of the Pack Submit, something mysterious was playing in her head.

"You..." I gaze right at her. "You have something stupid playing in your head. I..."

"What?" She tried to move away but I held her back in place.

"Whatever it is, don't you dare to pull it out. I will have your head cut off," with that, I freed her arms and walked out of the room. But I made sure to lock her in.

Didn't want to see her stupid face outside, or let her tell Freya the truth. The mark on her, and the contract deal, would be a secret between me, Lyrik, Max, and her. The other two - Lyrik and Max, would never run their tongues unless ordered to do so.

My only problem was her - my pet, but I would pay close attention to her, and make sure her lips didn't run.

Returning to my office, my eyes fell on Freya who just stood with her hands crossed over her chest. She wore a mad expression on her face. I knew Max said nothing to her, so definitely, she was mad over something else.

"Why did you get a personal servant when there were so many servants already in the mansion?" Freya strolled towards me, still angry.

"Freya, that isn't important. You just arrived at the Packhouse after so many years. Shower and have some rest," I fixed myself in my seat.

"Yeah, sister. Alpha Leo is right. You two just found out you're fated, and will need a lot of time to bond together," Max tried to convince his sister.

She was mute for a while before responding, "What way leads to my room?"

"Over there. But I will take you," Max responded and led Freya toward her room.

Max, Freya, Liam - my Gamma, and my Aunt, Marigold were the only family I had after the death of my parents. Lyrik was only a friend and mostly acted like my secretary.

Max and Freya's father was my father's Beta before the cartel fight that claimed his life and that of his wife. After their death, my parents raised Max and Freya, and we all stayed in the same mansion.

Max and Freya occupied the first floor of the mansion while my family occupied the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, but the seventh floor was for the servants and warriors. The courtroom was on the right side of the huge living room, and then my office, was on the left. The royal mansion was a massive building that carried so many responsibilities.

Sitting alone in my office after Max took Freya away, my head whacked hard. I had yet to recover from the fact I had just found out Freya was my fated mate. I held no romantic feelings towards her. All these years, I never saw her as a woman but as my sister. Stupid how the sight of her now made my cock kick 'cause of the stupid mate bond.

Felt awkward thinking about it. Didn't know what to do about this mix-up, and it would be very hard to reject Freya because I didn't want to be the reason she felt hurt.

My back rested on my seat as my fingers pressed the bridge of my nose in frustration. There were so many responsibilities already on my plate, especially the preparations for the Pack Submit. This was the first time it was hosted under my reign and I was trying my best not to mess things up.

"Now Freya is involved, what will you do?" I heard Max's voice and I sat upright. He walked towards me. His palms pressed on the desk as his angry gaze fell on me.

"What do you mean, Max?" I hardly saw him this serious, but I understood his anger.

"She is my only family, Leo, and now the Goddess made her..." He paused and straightened up. His hand was clenched into a fist in front of him. "The Goddess made her your fated mate. What will you do?"

"I have no idea, Max. This whole shit is crazy to me as well, and you know the humiliation Freya will face if I reject her."

"Then make her Luna. As much as I hate to say it, that's the best thing to do," he uttered.

His suggestion sounded more awkward to my ears and very impossible. I had a dirty secret that Freya wouldn't be able to stand if she got to find out the truth. "Max, let your sister decide what she wants for herself. Besides, Freya will choose to have a good man in her life, not a bloody heartless killer like me."

"She has decided, Leo. Freya wants you. I saw the excitement in my sister's eyes when she found out you were her mate. It was a dream come through for her because she has been in love with you for years."

"What do you mean, Max?"

"You heard me right, Alpha Leo. Don't mess with my sister," his face wrenched into a scowl before he started for the door. "The preparations for the Pack Submit are almost concluded, and Liam will be back tomorrow!!" He announced on his way out.

Everything was certainly a shitty mess.

I rested my head a bit on the headrest of my seat, thoughts running through. After a while, I got back to work and finished up with the documents I had right in front of me.

It was late when I rounded up with work. I stood up, and made my way to my secret room. I knew my sickness would soon start manifesting and I needed my most privacy. I couldn't return to my bedroom because of my pet. I had yet to assign a room to her, didn't know how that important task kept skipping my mind.

I got to my room, had my shower, and stood bare in the middle of the room, waiting for my woes to befall me. Staying bare was best for me during this period because if I had clothes on, my aggressive nature would tear them off.

Just when it was almost time, I heard a knock on my door, and my brows knotted in confusion.

Who was it?

No one has ever knocked on this door because no one knew a door like this existed. This was strange.

The knock came on the door for a second time, and then third. I rushed towards my wardrobe, and grabbed a dark night robe. I threw it on me, making my way to the door.

My brow slightly raised in disbelief when I opened the door. It was Freya who stood at the door, wearing a red transparent lingerie dress. Something too revealing that felt like she was bare.

Red roared at the sight of her, about to take over but I pushed him to the back of my head. That animal of mine was always sexually heated.

"Why are you here?" I force my attention away from taking details of her rounded-standing boobs. They were huge and perfect. Her nubs were pink and hard.

Beautiful.

"I was passing by and then your scent drew me to you," she softly uttered. I noticed the desires that filled her eyes.

That fucking mate bond brought her to me this late hour and at a dangerous time.

"What's this place, Alpha? I was on my way to your room before your scent hit me. What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Nothing serious. This is one of my study places."

"Can I come in?"

"No. I mean..." I cleared my throat. "It's messy inside," I stepped out, and shut the door behind me. "Why are you still awake? You're meant to be resting after your trip."

"I want to speak to you, Alpha," her eyes ran through my body. "If we can't have the conversation here, then let's do it in your bedroom," she stated and started for my bedroom.

"W..." Oh, fuck!!! What should I do right now?

Freya can't find out my pet is in my bedroom. That's trouble.

And then my disease. It would manifest soon and would be dangerous for anyone around.

How the fuck do I get to hide and handle things?
