Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 34. Refusing to Fail
LEO. "Your baby won’t die, not on my fucking watch." I promised her, my mind racing as I tried to think of the best course of action. She was looking at me with her eyes flickering from silver to blue, her heart thundering as she clutched her stomach. Her lips parted, but she was unable to put two words together. I knew my medical shit… Although werewolves could take a hell of a lot more than a human, the trauma of his kick could have damaged the placenta. "You are going to be ok." I murmured, lifting her carefully into my arms. Her heart was racing, her entire body shaking, and I had never fucking seen her look so vulnerable. You fucking will be ok. ‘I need our top gynaecologist ready to check on a patient with blunt force trauma to her abdomen.’ I said through the link, the urgency in my voice crystal clear. I ran from the apartment to the lift. ‘Winona I need you to go down through my office to my underground quarters. Just go through my office, I’ll open the entrance for y
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 35. These Emotions
AZURA. Everything was a blur... Fear, horror, panic. Leo. I didn’t know how, but I wanted him to fix this. He seemed to be the type to always know what to do. I was always strong and didn’t need anyone, but was it weird that he gave me a sense of strength and safety. When he took back his rejection, I felt my wolf come to life in a way, feeling a cool wave wash over me… Then when he told me to mark him… I knew it was for this baby, and that’s all that mattered to me. Our baby deserved to live. The strength I had felt. The pain in my stomach had subsided, and then whatever he had injected into me, seemed to work. I had felt a similar sensation to how it felt when Kiara healed me in the past. A strong surge of coolness washed over me. He looked guilty, the worry in his eyes so raw and intense that I didn’t know what to say. The way his hand rested protectively on top of mine on my stomach… I was about to say something when Kiara had come, but when she tried to heal me… nothing
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 36. A Battle of Wills
AZURA. I had looked in the mirror ten times before convincing myself that the shorts and sports bra were totally ok to go out in. I put on Kiara’s strappy black heels, not wanting to rummage in the bag that had been retrieved from my apartment, in case Kia got disturbed. Damn, I loved this woman’s heel collection… Last year I had liked a pair of snakeskin knee-high boots of hers, and she had told me I could keep them. Selfless as always. After zipping them up, I made my way to the door, just when I saw my phone screen light up. I was sure it was from Sky, she was the only one up at this time, but I wasn’t going to cross the room when I had just reached the door. I’ll get back to her later. I slipped out of the room silently, making my way down the dimly lit hallway, tip-toeing down the stairs. I could see the light in the lounge was still on. Were Marcel and Al still awake? Ok… I don’t want them to hear me leaving. Wait, Al has like supersonic hearing; he’ll know either way, and
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 37. The Path Ahead
AZURA. Do I keep away from him, let him deal with Judah and leave. Allow him to see his child and somehow live without him? Or do I selfishly fight for him? Do I try to get through to him, because whether he likes it or not, his nightmares are now mine too… When he loves… he loves deeply… Marcel’s words were true. I know they were because I’ve seen the love he has for his son, the love and fear he had when I almost miscarried… Even though he hated who I was, he still looked out for me and still cared to an extent, no matter how much he denied it. What should I do? A sharp wind blew, whipping my hair in front of our faces, and I closed my eyes. The screams from his nightmare returned to me and my eyes snapped open. I would always be there for those who needed me. He reached over, brushing my hair back, tingles skimming the surface of my skin at his touch. He brushed the strands back, our eyes meeting, and I tried to focus on my words. "Well… whether you like it or not, your dr
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 38. The Choice to Make
LEO. It was the following day, and after crushing Corrado’s heart last night, I felt fucking awful. He had been asleep on the sofa when I returned, the food uneaten still on the table. He had gone to sleep hungry… So, the first thing I did this morning was promise him that tonight we were going to cook together, because Azura was going to come over. That had cheered him up and I was going to fucking make sure nothing fucked this up this time around. I had left him with Winona, they would go buy the list of groceries I had sent to her. I was currently in my office at headquarters, waiting for Jackie. Last night I told Eric to make sure she stayed in her apartment until she was called for. Emmet was in a cell which would stop him from linking anyone and before I talked to him, it was Jackie I needed to deal with first. The knock on the door made me look up, before it opened to reveal Eric, Nikki and Jackie. Jackie’s eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious she had cried a lot. Eric
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 39. A Sizzling Dinner
AZURA. Corrado was thrilled to see me and was showing me the entire apartment. The delicious smell of food was making me lick my lips, or was that his scent? I wasn’t sure… either way this place smelt divine. Kiara and Alejandro had left after lunch and although I’d miss them, I was glad I at least got to see them for a short while. Kiara’s parting words were to take care of myself, and the baby, along with a not-so-subtle comment to talk to Leo and try harder... In what way… well I knew what she wanted and hoped for. Think before acting Zu. Marcel had asked if I wished to stay at the mansion, but I had politely declined, deciding to return to the apartment beneath Leo’s. The short conversation I had with him now replayed in my mind. (EARLIER THAT DAY…) "Thank you for everything." I said looking at Marcel, we had just walked Al and Kia to the pack borders. "I'm afraid I didn’t do enough, but I can assure you Emmet will be punished for what he tried to do. I know my son, and I k
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 40. Something I've Never Shared
LEO. I agreed… I don’t know why I fucking did… I just knew that she wouldn’t betray my trust or mention it to others. She might be crazy, but she’s my type of crazy, and the one I know who wouldn’t do anything to hurt anyone on purpose, in serious matters anyway. I mean I wouldn’t put it past her to try to slit my throat in my sleep if I pissed her off but at the same time, I knew the type of things she’d keep quiet… I knew if she knew about the fact I'm dying, she would try to do shit even if it meant breaking a promise. But something like Corrado’s truth… she wouldn’t tell anyone. Even Marcel didn’t know and regardless of that truth, it changed nothing. I cleared the table off, taking a bottle of whiskey and two glasses to the lounge area. As a werewolf, I know drinking did nothing to a pregnant woman, so a glass or two won't fucking hurt. Why did this feel too intimate? I sighed remembering the vague memory from long ago, ‘Thank you, Weo’ back at Alejandro’s wedding… Her shoe h
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire 41. You Don't Know the Pain
LEO. "Leo…" She walked over to me, and the moment she touched my back, sending a rush of sparks through me, I felt a wave of calmness wash over me. The fucking bond. "I didn’t mean it in a bad way. You know, growing up, everyone called me a freak because I was born with the help of magic, so they found the word fitting. There were even a few people in the pack who refused to acknowledge me because of it. Heck, some still exist… as I got older, I stopped telling my family because I didn’t want to always cause them trouble…" She sighed, and I did my best to remain calm. Flaring anger rushed through me, and I wondered if that was why she was so cheerful because inside she was dealing with a lot. "I know you always say I'm the daughter of an Elite. Although my life is nowhere as harrowing as I'm sure yours has been, I just wanted to let you know that things aren’t always what they seem." She moved in front of me, her hand running along my waist, before she placed it on my chest. "It’s

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
Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Precious Bond Ch 8. A Shock
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
