Thank you for reading!
AZURA. "Hey! You’re here?" I asked, rushing over to him and flinging my arms around his neck. He caught me, lifting me off the floor, and gave me a warm, crushing hug. "I couldn’t miss this reunion now, could I?" He placed me back on the floor, and I grinned. "So you knew." I said, and he smirked slightly, just as Kiara came over, and Dante wrapped his arms around his tiny Mama. "Maybe. Hey Mama, how have you been?" He asked, kissing her forehead as he looked down at her. "Better now that you’re here." Kiara replied, caressing his face. He smiled down at her. "Then I'm glad I'm here." Ah, he was annoying with his perfect hair, but he was a mama’s boy and treated her like a queen. Kiara smiled up at him and gently moved away. "Well, you’re just in time for dinner." "Perfect." He said, turning to me. Like always, it felt like he was peering into my soul even with those shades on. He didn’t say anything and simply smiled before we headed to the lounge. I realised it would be t
LEO. I was in the shower, the excessive smoking throughout the day made me smell of smoke. I ran my hands through my hair, washing the shampoo off. I wasn’t looking forward to tonight, and I wasn’t going to fucking deny that I needed to see her… Without anyone around. I just… Yeah, I just fucking need to just hold her for a bit… I said I’ll do this shit, but how the fuck was I going to start that conversation? The bathroom door opened, and I glanced through the steamed glass of the shower, the blurred outline and the scent giving her away. She locked the door, before pulling her top off. I could see the outline of her black bra, and I throbbed hard, knowing she was about to join me. I slid open the glass door, just as she slid her pants down. "Hey…" She said, her eyes raking over me before she swallowed hard the moment she looked at my cock. I was already hardening under her gaze, I wrapped my hand around my cock, stroking it slowly as I looked at her. "Hey." She licked her li
LEO. ‘You got this.’ Azura’s words when I left were in my mind, the fuck in the shower had been fucking hot and had done far more than relax me. I felt refreshed, and when she had kissed me and told me I would be ok, it just gave me a whole new level of fucking confidence to get this shit over with. The only fucking problem was the smirks from Kiara and Alejandro when we came down. I knew Alejandro’s hearing was good… but I wasn’t sure if that meant soundproof walls… Ah well, he’s a fucking prick, I don’t give a shit. We had left the mansion when Dante motioned to his ride and I raised an eyebrow. "No thanks." I wasn’t going to fucking sit in the back… I walked to my own car, feeling both Rayhan and Dante watching me, and got in, only for Dante to open the back door of the car and got in. "What the actual fuck?" I growled. "What? I'm sitting in the back because I'm the youngest, it's fair right?" He asked, smirking. And the fucking biggest… He couldn’t read minds, could he?
AZURA. "Are you sure you’re going to be ok?" Song asked me. I nodded, Mama had called earlier as well, I knew she was surprised that I was actually going to go see Atlas, but I could tell she was happy. When I told her that Leo and I had figured things out, she smiled and said; "That’s my girl, get that man in line." Goddess, she was a queen. "Yeah totally, he’s just a guy." I said shrugging, "Ok hun, if you’re sure." She replied, giving me a tight hug. I glanced at Kiara when I moved back. "You sure his mother isn’t going to be around?" I asked, my voice sounding resentful despite not meaning to. Her eyes softened, and she nodded. "He doesn’t live with her anymore, and I let him know you were coming." She smiled gently, and I nodded. "Ok." I said, shoving my hands into my pockets as I turned on my heels. "Are you sure you know the way?" "Yeah, I’ll ask someone if I can’t find it." I said before heading for the gates. It was late, but I knew he had work earlier, and if Leo
LEO. The office was tense and even Alejandro was dead serious, any sarcasm was gone as he stood there with arms crossed, watching me coldly. That was his concentrating expression. Azura was sitting on the armrest of the chair I was in, and Kiara told me to remove my shirt. I pulled it off and Azura took it from me, holding it to her chest. I could hear her heart beating violently, although she was trying not to let it get to her. Kiara took a deep breath, a frown of concentration crossing her face as she knelt in front of me. Her eyes blazed purple, and for a split second, I was reminded of the flicker I had seen in Azura’s eyes the other night. Usually, when your wolf comes to the front, if you watch carefully, or in my case, record it and slow down the speed just to observe it, you will see the wolf’s eye colour bleed into yours. What just happened with Kiara’s was like a flame spreading from the bottom of the iris. I was brought out of my thoughts when Kiara placed her hands
AZURA. It was the following afternoon, and we were ready to head back home. Last night when I had thought all hope was gone, I realised I was the answer. Sure, we didn’t know exactly how it would work and I knew Dante wasn’t going to tell me the answer, but at least we knew the main thing and we wouldn’t let the chance pass by. There were less than two weeks until the next full moon and we’d figure it out. Or I'm sure Leo would, and I will just stick to Leo and hope for the best. Last night we didn’t sleep much, he had held me in his arms, stroking my hair and back. It wasn’t sexual but it was so intimate that the emotions I was feeling, were unexplainable. I loved him and as much as that was gushy mushy, I did want to tell him. I just needed to find the right time. “Are these all for me?” Corrado asked in awe as Dante finished loading the trunk with all the toys and clothes that Kiara had gotten for Corrado. The weather was warm, and despite the sun being up, a cool wind was bl
LEO. Shane and Jackie, I didn’t want to fucking believe it. I had failed them both… Kareena, Shane’s mate too… Her life was over too. I could only imagine losing Azura. It would fucking destroy me too. I didn’t fear anything, save losing those that I loved. The last conversation between Jackie and me that took place before we left yesterday flashed before my eyes, and I wish I had a little more time with her… she was always worried about me. How she would have been fucking happy to know that I would be ok. How fucking happy she would have been that I would be healed. Little did we both know she’d die before me… Fucking bastard. Anger flared through me, my eyes blazing as I drove as fast as possible, sending orders through the phone. “…possible breach, there was an explosion on the far left of the pack. Nothing was seen but-” “I want a code red, fucking lockdown right now, have everyone on high alert.” “Alpha Marcel’s got everyone on duty.” Ace replied. “Good, get teams one, t
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
