Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 18. A Memory
LEO. I looked at my phone. The message was crystal clear, but even then, I had to fucking read it a few times. ‘I’m going to be leaving. With Marcel here, I don’t think it’s smart for me to linger. Arrange me a car, or at least let your security know to let me out.’ She was leaving. Just how I fucking wanted… There was no relief, nor fucking excitement at the fact that she was. Yeah, because once she’s gone, Marcel will have a shit-ton of questions for me to answer. Why didn’t I fix stuff with her ‘mate’, and then Corrado would do my fucking head in about why I let her go. Stop fucking with yourself Leo, you know that isn’t the reason. I lit a cigarette, taking a drag on it as I stared at the phone, letting out a string of smoke slowly. But it was for the better that she left. Her being here was fucking with me. I texted her back that I’d come to get her, but she asked for an hour in return. ‘Fine.’ I tossed the phone onto the desk and placed my feet on it, resting back in

AZURA. "Let him say goodbye." Nikki said, placing her hand on Leo’s arm. He didn’t reply, and I hated how he had an effect on me. Why that single touch of Nikki’s squeezed my heart. Fuck Azura. This isn’t you. "Please don’t go yet. How about staying for five more weeks?" Corrado pleaded, drawing my attention back to his gorgeous hazel eyes. "I can’t, I'm sorry." I apologised softly. Oh, why was this kid making my heart break just like Marcel almost did? When he loves, he loves deeply. I pushed the memory away and smiled apologetically at the boy before me. "Then why not six more weeks?" I let out a breathy laugh. "You know, you're adding days on top?" I asked, ruffling his hair. "But I had fun, I wanted to make a police doll too…" My heart clenched, but I could sense Leo’s anger rising and knew he was getting impatient or simply annoyed Corrado was talking to me, but I was at least glad he let him say goodbye. Maybe the Ice Prince has a soft spot for his son at least. "I’

AZURA. "We shouldn’t have done that." I said quietly. He shouldn’t have done that. "Yeah, but don’t go fucking taking it the wrong way, it was to shut you up." He said, his voice sounding thicker as he looked away. It had gotten to him too… This was it, the moment to reject him. I looked up at him, trying to force myself to say the words. "I…" Do it, Azura. Leo frowned as he searched my face for something. Reject him. Fuck, why was it so hard? It fucking hurt. How had he had the strength to do so? And after marking me too. He raised an eyebrow, waiting, but I couldn’t do it. His scent was overpowering me. I was looking for an excuse… asking myself what I should do… When I thought of what I wanted in a mate, I always imagined someone who found me funny, someone who would be ok with me being crazy. The type to laugh at the shit I got up to. Not everyone found their fated mate, and not everyone had it easy. But was rejection the answer, without even fighting for him? Was
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 21. Flames Of Destruction
AZURA. Shit. No. Do I tell Leo? I was trying to calm my racing heart, what do I do? The first thing that came to my mind was to ask him to stop at the service station and get away from him, but I had to think about my baby. Doing that would not only risk me, but the baby too. "Who was the message from?" Leo’s voice snapped me from my thoughts, making my breath hitch at his question. He was watching me intensely. His piercing eyes seemed to be peering into my soul. "One of my girls." I found myself lying, as I gazed out of the side mirror trying to see behind us. Only the glaring headlights of a car could be seen. Was that him? Was he close? Would he try something? I was putting Leo at risk as well if I didn’t tell him. What should I do? "Oh yeah? Stop lying Azura. Are you going to keep hiding it from me?" "I'm not hiding anything…" I was struggling. Why should I tell him? I know why I didn’t want to… because I wasn’t ready for him to tell me he didn’t care... But maybe

LEO. I knew something was fucking up, but I wasn’t expecting this… And the fact that the bastard somehow managed to get away… I didn’t see him leave the fucking car. I don’t know how, but he seemed to have just fucking vanished. Unless… he wasn’t in the car to start with… Blackmailing her with sex tapes. That fucking triggered me. I don’t care if she was a fucking princess or not, right now she was someone who needed help. Why the fuck was she dealing with this shit alone? On top of that, somehow the bastard had even managed to track us down... Did he have some sort of tracer on her? Her luggage. I pulled up to the side of the road, making her grab the edge of her seat and glare at me with those large, gorgeous eyes of hers. "What are you doing?" I didn’t reply. Getting out of the car, I walked to the trunk and grabbed her luggage, flipped her suitcase open, just as she came out of the car. "What are you doing?!" "I want to know how the fuck he found us." I replied, trying n
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 23. An End
LEO. I left the cave and stepped out into the car park, trying to clear my head. Locking the door behind me, I slid to the ground, resting my head against the cold metal of the wall behind me as I took a drag on my cigarette. ‘Winona?’ I called through the link. ‘Yes, Alpha?’ Winona, she was one of the few I had taken in. She wasn’t born in the Sangue pack, but she was still someone I trusted, one of the rare few I trusted completely around my son. ‘What’s Rosaline cooked tonight?’ Rosaline was my cook, she lived two floors down from me and she made the best food for me and Corrado. When I had put out the notice for the position, I remember choosing the one whose food Corrado loved the best after tasting it all. I still remember his smile of happiness. ‘She made chicken pasta, and stuffed taco cups.’ ‘Perfect, bring a tray down to my garage, I’ll let you down when you’re outside.’ ‘Of course.’ She didn’t question me, she never did and I was grateful. ‘Oh, and Winona?’ ‘Yes,
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 24. A Strange Result
AZURA. I didn’t want to be back here, it was hard being here and feeling this pain. I still didn’t know how to feel about him wanting to help, sure it felt great having someone as smart, powerful, and ruthless as Leo on my side, but I also knew that Judah was twisted, dark, and manipulative. Would Leo be able to fix this? It was a game of risk. I stayed in the shower for a while, before I wrapped a towel around myself, then dried my hair with a second towel. I walked into the bedroom, spotting the tray of food on the bed. My stomach rumbled and I couldn’t wait to dig in. Goddess, I was starved. I pulled on my panties and walked over to the wardrobe, taking out a white shirt. I looked at it before putting it on. I sighed heavily as I plopped onto the bed, reminiscing on the moment he had held my hair back when I vomited. And he should, this was his kid too! But he didn’t know I was pregnant… Well it seems he had some humanity in him. This baby… I was beginning to realise I ma
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 25. A Reply
AZURA. "As I presumed… it seems you know far less than you thought about your ex." Leo murmured, frowning. His eyes were cold as he stared at the screen. "I don’t get it, how is this even possible, are you sure that file isn’t corrupt or false or something?" I asked. "No, years ago I began to gather all possible data on the werewolves in this country, just for my own knowledge and I remember this particular family’s story intrigued me." He sat back smoking his cigarette. "Are you sure it's not wrong, maybe a glitch-" "I have an excellent memory, don’t question my intelligence." He growled. "Ok fine, Mr I'm so damn smart." I muttered. "Good, at least you’re learning to listen." He replied, his voice almost antagonising. My eyes flashed, and I looked him square in the eye. "Don’t try me, I don’t listen unless I want to." Neither of us looked away, a clash of wills, with both of us refusing to bend. "Maybe that’s what got you into this mess to start with, your lack of logic and

KAREENA. “Mm?” I ask, my eyes closed. We didn’t sleep, and morning has arrived, but even now, I don’t want to sleep… I’m exhausted, but at some point, we began talking… too exhausted to make love any longer, but neither of us wanted to sleep. For the first time, we were so open; it felt beautiful. This night was beautiful. Goddess, he smells so good. His arm is under my head as we lay naked on the rug on the floor. I feel so damn achy but even now his naked body against mine is messing with me but even more than that, I am content. “Favourite colour?” he murmurs, his fingers combing through my hair soothingly. “White and blue… yours?” “Possibly grey or black.” His lips graze down my shoulder and a soft sigh escapes me. “Your dream?” I ask, my eyes fluttering open and I gaze into his eyes. He’s looking directly at me. His gorgeous green eyes are crystal clear, and I reach up, brushing my fingers through his hair. “To live a life with my sexy mate, my friends who are my family

JAX. I unbuckle my belt, pulling it out as I roll it up in my hands before tossing it aside. Some other day, I’m going to tie her up… She sits up, disobeying me as she drops to her knees, looking up at me. “I want a taste…” she whispers, making me throb hard, and I decide to forgive her this time. Fuck, she’s fine. “But I never said you can stop touching yourself,” I whisper dangerously. “You can punish me later,” she replies sassily, as she unzips my pants. The smell of her arousal is fucking driving me nuts and the way she’s looking at me with those sultry lust-filled eyes makes me want to fuck her hard. “I think I can let it slide this time,” I reply huskily. The moment her hand touches my cock, pleasure shoots through me like a fucking jolt and it’s way fucking better than imagining her stroking me. Fuck, it’s been way too long… and it makes it all the more better that it’s her. She lets go, allowing herself to pull my pants down, and I watch her intently as she pushes

KAREENA. “Real smooth tiger,” I say, rolling my eyes, but no… tell me, what’s on your mind? You seem quiet today,” I ask. There’s something wrong. I see the way he looks down for a moment before he moves back and glances at the kitchen. “Want some coffee?” “Sure,” I say. We walk to the kitchen, and he motions to the table, telling me to sit down. I perch against it, watching him make the coffee. Iced for me. I love how he knows my pattern. After I have just eaten, I’d usually go for iced and late in the night it would be normal. “How did it go up north?” I ask, breaking the silence. He tenses and I frown. For a moment, the craziest thought enters my mind and I close my eyes, almost smiling at how ridiculous that thought was. Why did I suddenly think there was another woman like he was nervous because something happened on his work trip? He isn’t mine for me to even think that way. Sure, that hurts, but I don’t have any claim on him when all I’ve done is keep him at arm’s len
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 11. A Dinner With Friends
KAREENA. My heart is pounding violently, almost as if it will jump out of my chest, and I turn away from the window. He can see me… Just the thought sends my entire body into a frenzy. I’m nervous, it’s weird how I can feel so but I don’t try to cover myself as I continue to towel my hair. He’s still watching me, his gaze burning into my back and only when I’m done drying myself do I walk away from the window. He wants me… just as I want him… that’s something I can no longer deny. Even if it does feel crazily surreal to me. It is the truth. Tilting my head, I look at the white and nude bustier I had chosen to wear… It’s a little… daring. I pull on some sexy panties before I squeeze into my skinny jeans and put on the top. Ok, so I look like I’m an open invitation saying ‘come get me’, which I kind of am right now. I pull it up over my breast. I pull my brown hair up in a messy yet sexy bun and quickly apply some makeup. Once my nails are painted, I look at the green shade I ha
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 10. What Feels Right
JAX. Three nights. We were away from the pack for three nights. It was fucking worse than we thought, up here in the Scottish Highlands. There’s no sign of an enemy but this one was possibly the biggest attack if you can call it that. Leaving so many homeless. We had managed to rehouse them and tried to secure the area, or at least hoped it was secured. With no proof or any sign of the enemy, it is hard to pinpoint who or what they are. But something Leo said still stuck in my mind. It’s looking for something or someone. Leo had no proof of that, but if Leo says something, it is most likely true since he has a knack for these things. Alejandro was true to his words, he’s pushing Leo to handle things and I know that despite Leo wanting to remain as only the King in the Shadows, he doesn’t really have a choice but to step out there and do what he needs to. But it also means a lot of responsibility for all of us. Leo as the next King, means that the Sangue Pack will be brought i
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 9. This Pull
JAX. “I…” There’s nothing for her to say. Her heart is pounding, her breasts rising and falling. You don’t get to look like the fucking embodiment of sex itself and then act damn innocent. Fuck, this woman grates on every fucking nerve of mine with her attitude, yet at the same time, I want to pin her up against this wall and fuck her hard… Our bodies are pressed against one another’s, yet there’s one way I can think of to get closer and just the thought of burying myself in her pussy makes me throb hard. I skim over those pouty lips of hers that have always been something I’ve noticed… A comment I made to Shane back when he found out she was his mate returns to me, only now I mean it in such a fucking different way… ‘She’s pretty. She’s got nice lips.’ I remember winking at him teasingly… That was an understatement… no wonder he had smiled the way he had… A flare of possessiveness rushes through me, and Hayden and her dancing return to me. Since she’s got here, she’s been t

KAREENA. “Don’t fucking touch her!” He snarls, the anger in his voice shakes me and I look around, my heart thundering as he punches Hayden across the face. I flinch when I hear something break. “Jax!” Ace grabs him. Fuck, this is my fault. ‘Jax, leave it, I was handling…’ I trail off when he turns his eyes on me. “Yeah, I could clearly see how you were handling it,” he says icily. He pulls free from his friends shoving past them and walks out. Why do I feel so bad? I’m about to go after him when Leo takes hold of my wrist. ‘A fucking word first,” he says quietly through the mind link. Great. Just fucking great. I look the way Jax has gone, spotting Jin and Dan going after him and close my eyes before I take a deep breath. Shit. He looks down at Hayden before he bends down and pulls him to his feet. “Alpha I’m sorry, I was just- they aren’t together I didn’t think-” Hayden is cut off. “Regardless of that shit, you should not have pushed the boundaries she was fucking set
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 7. A Dance
KAREENA. Possessive much? “I won’t be the only woman in a dress tonight, Jax. No one is going to be looking at me.” I shake my head as I make my way over to his car. The moment I went into heat is replaying in my mind and I don’t think being in close proximity to him is wise… I’m checking him out, I’m too aware of his scent and the fact he’s watching me is messing with my head. I don’t want to be a burden to anyone tonight. I reach for the passenger door, only for Jax’s arm to brush mine as he beats me to it and opens the door for me instead. I look over my shoulder at him, my heart hammering when his green eyes dip to my lips. I turn away first, during my heat all I could think about was him... I’m falling… I know that… and it terrifies me. “Thanks,” I say, allowing him to open the door, for a moment he places his hand on my waist sending a ripple of pleasure through me. Shit… It’s different, it’s not just the bond. I turn suddenly, totally miscalculating just how close h
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 6. Reprieve
KAREENA. He nuzzles his nose into my neck, sending sizzling pleasure through me. Oh, fuck, he smells so good and feels even better…. The bond mixed with the heat is messing with his head and as much as his touch is like a cooling balm to my burning skin, I can’t take advantage of him… We have never been in each other’s presence in my moments of heat, but now… now he’s here and my body craves for him, far more than I expected. I want him to fuck me right here and right now, but I’m terrified. I gasp as another bout of pain rips through me and if he was not holding me, I’d fall to the ground. One of his hands is still tangled in my hair, the other runs up my back before it runs down my back and grabs my ass squeezing it. Pleasure jolts through me and I almost moan loudly. He pulls me closer as if he wants to feel every part of me against him, and I can feel his hard shaft against my stomach. “Fuck,” I moan, running my hand down his stomach. His scent and the heat of his body a
