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,

    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

    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

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   26. Coming Clean

    AZURA. I stayed in the apartment not wanting to run into anyone else, and it was so boring with nothing to do. Winona had come with lunch, and then again for dinner. It was obvious from the way she was looking around that no one knew I was here. Guess dickface wanted no one to know. I was tempted to ask her if I could see Corrado, but after last time… I wasn’t sure Leo would appreciate it. So here I was… wondering what I should do… Marcel knew who my mate was, and it had come to a point where I knew I couldn’t keep lying to my family… I stared at the tablet that sat on the bed, then glanced at the time. Just past ten… Katara would be put to bed by now… Should I video call? My fingers itched before I took a deep breath, thinking to just go ahead with it. Marcel knew, and Leo didn’t want anyone here knowing, didn’t mean my parents couldn’t know. If he pushed for the X-ray, then he’d find out about the baby too… Before I ended up changing my mind, I quickly set up a video call betwe

    AZURA. I left the lift, but he was nowhere in sight, but that wasn’t going to deter me. I followed his scent, my eyes blazing as the image of Jackie’s bruises flashed in my mind. I looked around, sniffing the air, following my nose around the side of the apartment before breaking into a jog, just in time to see him disappear behind another building. I looked back at the streetlights and wondered where he was going. "Emmet!" I shouted as I rushed to catch up. I turned the corner and saw him about to enter the dark building, but he stopped when I called him. "Azura?" He looked surprised to see me. "Didn’t you leave?" I guess he really didn’t see me upstairs. "Oh, I came back." I replied, walking over to him. And I'm fucking glad I did. His eyes narrowed as if suddenly suspicious of why I was here, his expression darkened, and he looked me over. "Why are you following me?" "Because I was right there when you stormed out of your apartment, right before I saw the marks on Jackie’s

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   28. Will You Believe Me

    LEO. Schurke Wolf. My alias, the name the cartel world knew me by. I ruled the United Kingdom from the underground, with ties and allies in Italy, Germany, and most European countries. Power and money, I had it all. The humans looked to their king and prime minister, and the supernatural species looked to Alejandro, but from the shadows, England was mine. Humans worked for me, and although they didn’t know who I was exactly, they sensed the power that I held. They could feel it when in my presence and knew I was not to be trifled with. I was feared by all, and there were not many who could look me in the eye. My most trusted men from my pack were also part of my cartel, but I always made it clear, if they wanted to step back from the front lines, they were welcome too, because, in this world, death is always lingering above you. Luckily, being a werewolf made us pretty much invincible when it came to dealing with humans. But even then, the risk of the unknown was always there, a

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   29. Do I Trust Him

    AZURA. "Try me." His words rang in my head, and I wanted to. Somehow, I wanted to blurt it all out and have him fix it… It was weird, the way he made me feel like I could rely on him. It confused the heck out of me because I always handled everything myself. He looked so yummy in that black shirt and grey pants. His toned thighs, narrow waist and those delicious muscular biceps… This guy was born with incredible genes and those blue eyes… goddess never had I liked the colour more. But the way he was behaving was unnerving me… I could feel his anger. I just wasn’t sure if it was because I left the room, or fucked up his delta’s face, or because maybe seeing me injured pissed him off? Stop kidding yourself Azura… He marked you, rejected you, and watched you collapse before walking away… The memory felt like a harsh slap in the face, and I broke our eye contact, moving away from his touch. I pushed the painful thought away and took a deep breath. "I was in here when I heard two l

    LEO. I was ready to hit the gym with Emmet once I had Corrado fed. I was already dressed in grey sweatpants, a white tank top and sneakers. He was still giving me those sad looks, and I wondered if he was just being stubborn or actually missing Azura What’s to miss anyway? An image of her, came to my mind. Pretty much a lot. Fuck that. "Want to have breakfast with Azura today?" I asked as I flipped the crepes over in the pan. His eyes widened in excitement, and he nodded. "Is she back! Yes! Let’s go!" He said, jumping off the worktop. "Hold up fast guy, we need to get your breakfast made." "Oh yes, Azura can’t cook. We must make her breakfast too, Daddy." I frowned. "She must have food at her place." "But you said I’ll have breakfast with her…" "I only cook for you." I muttered, glancing down at him, only to see the sadness in his eyes. "But this is for me." Fuck, this kid was good at emotional blackmail. "Fine." I frowned and he smiled happily, as if he hadn't just b

    AZURA. The door shut behind Leo, and I let out the breath I was holding. It was weird. I didn’t know if I preferred him in the suit that he was wearing last night, his leather jacket, or in those sweatpants... Fuck, this guy was far sexier than he should even be allowed to be. I missed my own workouts, but being pregnant and with everything going on I had fallen behind. I know that training during pregnancy is fine, as long as you don’t put any frontal impact on the stomach. "Let’s eat Azura, Daddy makes the best food." Corrado declared, drawing me out of my thoughts. Leo made these… I didn’t even know what to think as I sat down, my heart still racing from the way he had brushed my arm on purpose. What does he want from me? I looked at the plate in front of me, crepes folded into triangles drizzled with Nutella, a dusting of icing sugar, and strawberries on top. So aesthetically pleasing. This plate looked almost as good as Leo did. Almost. "Oh, it looks very yummy!" I exclai

    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

  • 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

    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. His scent and the heat of his body a
