AZURA.

I hadn’t even gotten to the entrance to the motel when the phone beeped, and I looked down at it.

Judah.

I felt sick and my heart was thumping before I even clicked on it.

I hated being around him. I hated how whenever he was near, something always went wrong. I just wished he was gone from my life for good, or better yet, I wish I had never fucking met him.

I looked down at my phone, frowning at the message.

‘I want you to take out any weapons you are carrying, and toss them in that trash bin. Then make your way around the back and up onto the rooftop. Leave the phone there too. Don’t play smart, I'm watching you my Pet.’

‘He’s here.’ I said to Leo through the link, trying to sound as normal as possible.

I hated him with a passion.

I was glad Leo was near… I felt a little at ease.

‘Stay calm, I’m right there with you.’ His voice was powerful, calm, and confident which equates to sexy-as-hell.

But that sick feeling only grew with each step, as I took out the dagger th

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   45. Letting her Misunderstand

    LEO. "So that’s him?" Song asked Azura quietly. "Yup." "Ok Azura, he’s so-" "Don’t, I bet his big ears are listening in." Azura muttered. I was outside the hospital room whilst they talked inside quietly, but yeah I could still hear and see them with the door slightly ajar. Azura was sitting next to her friend with her arms around her. We had gotten back pretty fast, I had Azura with me and I knew instantly why she had felt that pain. In the fight, I had overexerted myself, and she had felt it… Luckily, she had regained consciousness pretty quickly before we even got back to pack grounds. Since then, she has been watching me intently, almost calculatingly… I had to fucking make sure that didn’t happen again, for her sake… But then what about overall? The bottom line was I'm fucking dying, and that pain would only increase as the days and weeks passed by. The doctor had checked her over and she was fine. As for her friend, she had been tended to and was in good care, although

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   46. Hitting Home

    LEO. I had gotten a few hours of sleep in before going for a light run, making sure not to overexert myself, especially since I did not want Azura to feel my pain. I had returned home, showered and dressed before dealing with a little paperwork that I was falling behind on. It wasn’t long after that Corrado had woken up, and I had stopped working to spend a little time with him. We were now seated opposite one another, with a breakfast prepared by Rosaline in front of us. Corrado ate silently, a deep frown on his face. The first thing he had done when he ran out of his bedroom was ask where Azura was... not hiding the fact that he had expected her to be here. Seriously, this kid. He had then become serious, frowning and watching me like a father would their disobedient pup. "What did you do Daddy?" He asked suddenly, placing his spoon down. I raised an eyebrow while drinking my coffee. "What did I do?" "Why isn't Azura here? Did you make her angry?" He asked, looking at me wi

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   47. Speaking the Truth

    LEO. Two hours had passed, and I was working with Ace, Jax, Dan and Li Sheng. There was so much I fucking needed to deal with, and although it felt like everything was fucking spiralling out of control, I would fix it. Emmet had grabbed the chair when I had been distracted by the sheer shock of his revelation. He had slammed it into my back with such force, the leg had ripped through my clothes and back. But I had been far too wrapped up in my own thoughts to realise what had happened, until he was dragged away to his cell, and my men had begun worrying over me. The dull ache remained in my back, but it was healing quickly enough. I had had it cleaned and bandaged by one of the guards, not wanting to waste time by going down to the hospital. "Alright, I need to get going. Start the preparations, Ace you need to get to Web. Dan, check Emmet’s laptop and office, see if you can find any bank statements or if he has any accounts that we don’t know of, or in any other names. Li Sheng ha

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   48. Family

    AZURA. I sensed his struggle and knew I had to do something, even if he had been a total asshole to me last night. I mean, he had protected me from Judah and gotten rid of him. ‘Don’t be so stubborn, forgive him Leo.’ I said softly. I wanted to do more… I wanted to cup his face and tell him he wasn’t alone, but I couldn’t bring myself to do so when he didn’t want me, and so I simply tried to comfort him silently through the bond. He exhaled sharply, taking another drag of his cigarette before he turned back to his father, his tattooed hand closing around my wrist just when I was about to remove it. Not letting me move away. "It’s in the past… You don’t need my forgiveness. I just needed it off my chest." Leo said curtly, acting as arrogant as ever, but it was obvious that Marcel’s words had gotten to him. "Thank you son, I'm glad you told me." Marcel said quietly, approaching us. The father and son looked at one another, and I slowly tugged my hand free, this was their moment.

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   49. A Call

    LEO. She played me fucking dirty and left. But despite the fucking beast she awoke within me, it was her words that really got to me. ‘Although I’m not enough for you…’ If I wasn't half as stubborn as I fucking was, I would have told her the truth that that shit ain’t true… But yeah, that’s all there fucking was to it… I felt lighter getting that over with, and it reminded me of the past when I at least had my father… It’s just a shame it's too late for all of that to be back. Right? I was delaying… I knew I was far past the stage of Kiara being able to help me, but I don’t think I wanted to hear it. Even if I already knew the truth. I pushed the thought away thinking back to the moment between Azura and Corrado. Corrado has only ever said ‘I love you’ to three people before now; Dad, Winona, and me. It had hit hard… He had taken to her, I didn’t need any more fucking signs that she was meant for me. That hatred I felt… even the word elites… it all seemed so fucking far in the

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   50. A Devil in Red

    The entire mansion was abuzz, I had never fucking seen it so alive. Marcel didn’t really host parties, and those that did take place would be in the Pack Hall. "Leo, Corrado, ah, you are both ready." Marcel said, coming over, wearing a pair of beige pants and a black shirt. "Care to share what exactly this party is for?" "For Azura!" Corrado added. "Yeah… I get that." I said tugging his cheek before looking at Marcel seriously, mind linking him. ‘But the reason? She’s not a part of this pack, and neither are we… a couple.’ ‘No seems not, or not officially, but she is still carrying your child. A part of this pack’s future.’ He replied through the link. ‘The pack knows that.’ 'Exactly, and so we are celebrating that.’ Marcel said with a small smirk just as we heard the sound of heels running over. "Alpha Marcel I have the last of them. Sorry, I'm late." Winona’s breathless voice came. We both turned to see Winona holding a small box. She was wearing a one-sleeved ruched fitted

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   51. A Shared Moment of Truth

    AZURA. It was so hard having to pretend that he had no effect on me when all I wanted was to be in his arms. My entire body reacted to just his presence being near, I felt giddy, and even breathing became difficult. The way that he had looked at me had made my core clench in desire, but Nikki’s presence had been a pretty good slap in the face. I had thankfully been able to keep control of myself and give him the cold shoulder. I walked into the garden, gulping in a desperately needed mouthful of air. I needed something to drink… Jackie excused herself, so Song and I made our way over to the drinks bar. Both of us grabbing a non-alcoholic drink. "So, was that her?" Song asked softly. "Yup, that was her." I replied, downing my drink and sighing. "I can’t believe she’s in red." Song murmured, trying to keep her voice down. "Hmm, I guess it was purely coincidental." I replied. Song frowned. "I don’t like her, and something tells me it really wasn’t coincidental." "Yeah, me neith

  • Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire   52. Hitting a Nerve

    AZURA. "Yeah, I get what you mean. Before Emmet, I had a boyfriend… in fact, I never liked Emmet back then. He just… we just clashed. Our mentalities were different, although both of us were friends with Leo. That was until the bond… and it’s so strong… it consumes you. And I know a bond with an Alpha is even more intense. Anyway, when the bond snapped into place everything changed. Me and my boyfriend broke up. Although I knew it really affected him, it was the obvious thing to do when you find your mate, and he didn’t make it harder for me… and soon I found myself falling for Emmet. Then, when I was completely smitten, deeply in love, that’s when it all began… I'm sorry I lied to you, and in front of Eric too. I just- I just didn’t know what else to do." She hugged herself, staring at the water in the pool. "I'm going to reject him, I know it's going to be hard, but I'm going to do it. I should have done it ages ago when he first began hurting me to vent his anger...." I looked at

    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

    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
