2. Burning Emotions

last update Last Updated: 2022-11-07 02:43:16
AZURA.

My heart shattered watching Leo on his knees, cradling her body to his chest. Not one sound left him, but the pain and anguish that radiated off him was something I didn’t even need the mate bond to feel. It filled the air and I had never seen him so… vulnerable.

The man that tried not to show emotions, who was always strong and cold, was now broken. Devastated by the loss of his loved ones. I wished I could turn back time and stop this from happening. I wish I could take his pain and make it my own.

Why her?

I wish I had called her last night… she must have been hoping I got her message.

Jackie…

I simply knelt behind him placing my arm around his shoulders, hoping it gave him some reprieve from the pain and heartbreak he was experiencing. His thudding heart was beating far faster than it should.

Closing my eyes, I tried to squash the guilt that was consuming me.

I brought Judah to them… I cost him his sister… and a best friend.

I made sure my walls were up, and never h

All Nikki cared about is grabbing onto Leo. Didn't ask to see Jackie. I wonder if Judah felt Azura had power and that is why he wants her.

    LEO. I let the shower water run over me, washing away the soap suds from my body. I was unable to remove the images of both Shane and Jackie’s bodies from my mind. Those final memories of their bodies would always remain in my mind. Anyone could have died, and no matter who it was, I would have felt it. No matter how much I tried, I still wasn’t doing enough. Judah Gallahan was someone I was going to figure out, I will find out exactly what the fuck he is. To stay dead, pretend to be dead for that long… He held certain traits of a vampire, but he wasn’t one, he didn’t fit the box… I have seen vampires and have been around them when Endora had managed to capture a few. There wasn’t really much in England in comparison to the States, but there were a lot of differences between Judah and vampires. However, I wouldn’t rule it out completely. I needed to start somewhere… Switching the shower off, I leaned my head against the wall for a moment, sighing heavily. They were gone. Fuck… I

    Hello everyone, this is just a note with some key rules in my world as well as listing the characters of this book. MATING Mates can only be found on a Blood Moon and if they are over the age of eighteen. The Blood Moon occurs twice a year. - MARKING Werewolves can take chosen mates and even mark them. However only a true fated mates mark can remove the mark of another wolf. Unless the true mate is no longer alive then an unmarked wolf can mark on top of a true mate’s mark and replace it. - PREGNANCY Unless the female is marked, she cannot get pregnant, she does not need to have marked the male back to get pregnant. Omega females are the only ones that can get pregnant without being marked. Witches and human mates also needed to be marked to get pregnant. Unlike werewolves, Lycans can get any kind of she-wolf pregnant without marking. - HEAT If a she-wolf is marked yet hasn’t mated, she will go into heat which lasts around three days. - HAZE If a male-wolf is marked

    AZURA. "We are going to live with grandad forever?" Corrado asked excitedly as he struggled to hold his bags of plushies. Although he was barely managing and the bags were dragging on the floor, he was content. "We’ll see… the mansion’s a little outdated for my liking…" Leo replied. "Oh Daddy, you can fix it then, then we stay with Grandad, because Grandad is all alone there. Right Azura Mommy?" He asked me. I smiled, he still deviated between Mommy and Azura Mommy, although it was getting less frequent. Either way, they both made my heart melt. "Right!" I smiled at him. "You two are always on the same side, aren’t you?" Leo said as he came up from behind me and kissed my neck, his fingers brushing my stomach. My heart skipped a beat at his gesture, feeling the baby move. It was still small, and I knew he couldn’t feel it yet, but I had felt it. I tilted my head up, looking into those icy blue eyes of his incredibly handsome face. ‘Your pup just moved; I think it can sense your

    AZURA. His words cut like a knife. I more than anyone regret my time with Judah, but as a careless eighteen-year-old, he seemed to have understood me… I was the misfit, the odd one out, the freak… When I met Judah, it just felt like he didn’t care about my past. He welcomed me into his arms with empty promises, and I fell for it. "Azura!" Leo called, but I sped up, heading to our bedroom. I broke into a run, entering the room, I ran straight to the bathroom. Locking the door, I stepped into the shower, switching it on. making sure that my walls were up "Azura." I heard him trying the door, and I took a slow breath, wanting to sound normal. "Yeah?!" I heard him sigh, "Are you ok?" No, I'm not. "Yes, can a girl shower in peace?" I replied, feeling my emotions ready to spiral. Everything that was happening was my fault, I get that… but he had tried so hard to make me believe that it wasn’t my fault, but what he said now… Did he even mean it? Deep down he probably felt that it was

    LEO. My mind was suddenly blank as I stared at her walking past me, her ass had that sexy bounce to it, and the way she was strutting it across the kitchen fucking messed with me… Her long legs, which I’ve always fucking loved, looked so fucking sizzling hot in those fishnets that I was already hard. She didn’t even spare me a glance as she murmured something I didn’t even hear. She reached for the cabinet handle, her ass sticking out sexily, and it was obvious she fucking knew what she was doing to me. A growl escaped my lips as I closed the gap between us, grabbing her elbow, I spun her around to face me, making her gasp. The moment those sexy eyes met mine, I tangled my hand into her lush locks, yanking her head back and claiming her lips in a bruising kiss. She instantly locked her arms around my neck, kissing me back with equal passion. Our lips were moulded together, as I ravished her mouth, never were these lips ever fucking enough. One fucking taste and you just wanted mo

    LEO. A silence followed, and I took a drag on my cigarette. He knew we were together now, which should have taken the fucking shock factor out of this call. "Are you following so I can fucking continue?" I heard him blow out a short breath. "Leo, this is a surprise…" "It shouldn’t really be one considering you obviously know I have overcome my issues, somewhat." "Your issues?" I smirked humorlessly. "We both know I was the one who had the issues, right? I accept that if that’s what you want. Let’s not sugarcoat that shit. Is Scarlett there?" I was sure she was. "Yes, I'm here, hello Leo." "Hi." I replied, smoking my cigarette. "I'm glad the two of you have sorted things out." She added. "But I'm assuming you’re still angry, and I don’t fucking blame you. I hurt her and I know an apology isn’t going to change that shit, but still… I'm sorry, what I did is not something that can just be swept under the rug." It wasn’t easy to apologize, but when it came to her- for her, it becam

    AZURA. Cartel? All traces of sleep vanished as I stared at the man before me. A man who for a second, I was unable to recognise. How could Leo be part of a cartel, and I had no idea about it? He was watching me emotionlessly, but I knew he was analysing my reaction. How do you react to that? I looked away, feeling a sudden pressure in my head. A Cartel. "So… When you say a Cartel? Do you mean like a secret Mafia boss?" I asked, my voice sounding hoarser than I planned. "There is a difference between a Cartel and a Mafia boss… but yeah, they are similar enough." "So…" I ran my hand through my hair, trying to organise my thoughts. Gangs. Just like him… "You know Judah had a gang…" I said, feeling my emotions all over the place. Although his was just totally different, and they terrorised people. "A gang is different from an organisation, but do you remember anything about it, or what they called themselves? Any information could help us." He asked sharply. My eyes flashed

My heart skipped a beat as I watched him tie the top of his hair back into a hair tie as he walked in, his top rising a little and showing off the sinful V of his Adonis belt. I quickly looked away, just as he placed his hands on the top of the sofa rest behind me. He was an incredibly handsome man, and when he looked at me, I felt very self-conscious, half of it due to the fact that I had walked in on Leo and Azura in the kitchen making- My cheeks burned as I tried to get rid of the image from my mind of Azura bent over, with Leo right behind her. Oh, goddess! Alpha Marcel chuckled, and I felt my cheeks heat further. To make matters worse, I had slammed right into him, only to fall flat on my behind, and then my gaze fell to the front of his pants, noticing the rather obvious well-endowed package that he was blessed with. I had gotten

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
