Alpha Loren

October 11th

Leo set me down on the bed before crouching down to my level with a stern expression.

"What?" I scoffed. "You remind me of my Dad used to do if I misbehaved," I added looking at his raised eyebrow. 

"Oh yeah?" he replied a dirty grin creeping onto his face. "And what punishment did your Daddy used to give you when you were naughty?"

I screwed my face up with a level of cringe that even my 7th-grade self couldn't have managed, "Oh my God please don't say that."

He grinned at my embarrassment before his face suddenly hardened again.

"What are you going to say now? 'I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed'?" I questioned.

"Oh I am fucking angry," he replied. "And all this bullshit ends now," he added.

I stared into his eyes for a few moments before he suddenly grabbed my face, "Now," he reiterated.

"Or what, Leonardo?" I asked, raising my eyebrow, "What are you going to do?"

The room filled with a deadly silence as I stared at him, examining his face. It was terrifying but if he was going to hurt me, he would have already.

"'Or what' did you say?" he asked in a dark tone as he stood up, towering over me.

I looked up at him, "You aren't going to hurt me."

Squeezing my cheeks with his hand he shoved my head back a little before sauntering over to the window.

He glanced out and sighed, "So 'or what'," he began, "Well, let's see. It's quite a walk from here to the border meaning that by my calculations, your brother will still be on my territory... with Luca. And Luca is only one call a way..." he articulated.

I got to my feet, "You wouldn't..."

He turned around to reveal an evil smile, "Oh I would," he said with a slight laugh, "Don't underestimate the lengths I will go to to get what I want, Sweetheart."

"You have a dark soul," I replied with as much spite as I could muster. 

He shrugged, "So what's it gonna be? Lose the attitude or lose your brother."

I stared at him for a few seconds just to be sure that he was 100% serious before closing my eyes, "Don't make me say it."

"So long as we both know, I don't care if you verbally admit it or not," he said. "But come here."

I dragged myself over to him.

"Not hard, is it?" he said putting his hands on either side of my face. "Submitting?"

I swallowed a lump of pride sitting in my throat and just let him look at me as I glanced out the window. But when his hand slipped down to my ass, I immediately stepped back.

"What?" he said with a laugh, "You think you can just stand there wearing my underwear without any kind of advance."

My cheeks flushed. I'd completely forgotten I'd been wearing his boxer shorts this entire time.

He then grabbed my hands and pulled me back into his chest, resting one hand on my lower back as he held my head firmly with the others.
