Page 43 of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire
“Oh, do you need a band-aid?” Nikki asks, concerned.
“No, not at all.” The dickface might. Oh, wait, a band-aid won’t cover that. I almost snicker.
“Babe, what happened to you? Why did you swear?” Nikki asks, confused as she now turns to Leo. Leo clenches his jaw, turning his cold glare toward me.
“She’s just fucking crazy. She almost cut me,” he hisses icily, suddenly standing up.
Almost? LOL Blue-Eyes, I fucking impaled you, and next time it will be your dick.
“Daddy isn’t scared of a knife…” Corrado mumbles, but he looks scared, too, and remains silent. I feel bad for that, but Leo had pissed me off.
Without a glance back, Leo storms off. Nikki stands up, but after a moment she sits down, frowning deeply, and I’m sure Leo had told her not to follow.
“He just needs space, dear,” Marcel sighs. I place the knife down.
Poor little Alpha has no fucking idea who he’s messing with. I pick my burger up, and I see Nikki watching me as I bite into my triple stack with ease. Yeah, this big mouth comes in damn good use.
After lunch, Iplay with Corrado for a bit before thanking Marcel for the food and telling him I’ll be heading back. He asks me once more if I’m sure I don’t want my parents to know, how he feels bad for me and he can talk to them himself, but I don’t want them to know and make that clear. Time to get out of here…
I’ll get a taxi once I’m in the city close by, then, from there, I’ll go straight to Kiara’s pack. I don’t have any other option. Surely they won’t put me forward to the court of Selene…
“Daughter of an Elite.”
Leo’s words return to me, and I sigh. Trying to hide my crimes… wanting to be pardoned by those in power, aren’t I proving to him that it is exactly what I am?
I pick up my phone, staring at it. Kataleya had texted, asking to let her know what I need from Dante. She had also attached his number, telling me Dante and they would always be there for me. She really is a gem.
What have I gotten myself into?
I look at the number Leo had texted me from. Would he even agree to get me out of here when I had stabbed him just hours ago? I have nothing to lose.
‘I’m going to be leaving. With Marcel here, I don’t think it’s smart for me to linger.’ I pause, wondering how to word the next part. See me out? Let me out? Can I get a ride?
I put my phone down, musing over what to write, and grab the voodoo doll from the bedside table. I had placed the bloody thread picker inside of it and stitched it up. Now it contains the perfect part of Leo to make this shit work. I had stuck two pins in it earlier, but I think I’m the only one doing any damage to the real dude. Maybe if had a staple gun… or maybe I should soak him in boiling water...
I smirk at my thoughts before picking up my phone to finish my text.
‘Arrange me a car, or at least let your security know to let me out.’
I hit send, thinking I should stop at Marcel’s and tell him it isn’t working, so I would reject my mate and leave. If I leave like this, it isn’t going to help anyone’s case.
It is at least five minutes later when his reply comes.
‘Fine. I will come get you shortly. Stay in your apartment until then.’
‘Give me an hour.’
‘Fine.’
I know he’s probably pissed, but at least he replied. Time to get this over with.
I stand up, grabbing the Voodoo doll. I fill a bowl with water and place the doll’s head downwards in it.Suffocate and drown.I don’t know why I feel gloomy but something about the entire atmosphere feels dark…
It doesn’t take long to get back to Marcel’s, and when I ring thedoor, a member of staff opens it, giving me a smile.
“The Alpha saw you arrive. He’s right through here.”
“Thanks,” I say, flashing the man a smile before entering the living room. Marcel is standing by the window, and he turns, giving me a smile.
