Page 51 of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire
“Yeah, I got the you part, what’s next?” He asks me in a husky voice. “What’s wrong? Are you so distracted you can’t even string two fucking words together?”
I frown, splaying my hands on his hard chest and shoving him back. The tingles of the bond ripple through us, and I think I hear his heart race.
“There’s nothing about you that distracts me. I just was thinking about something,” I scoff.
“Oh?”
“Aren’t you short on time? Let’s go.” He frowns as if suddenly remembering, and he turns away, taking out some keys from his pocket.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
He presses a button on his keys, and a sleek, matte black Mercedes Benz SUV’ lights flash. Damn, that is one sexy car…
“Wait, what do you mean let’s go? Aren’t you just showing me out? Or are you driving me to the pack border?”
“I’m dropping you wherever the fuck you want to go.”
My heart skips a beat. Three hours in the car with Leo? After that kiss? No. That is a bad idea.
But it’ll give you more time to reject him, or try to reject him…
No, just no.
“I can…” I trail off. It is safer… if Judah doesn’t see me leave, he won’t realise where I am.
“Get in,” he commands, watching me keenly as he pops open the trunk and takes my suitcase, which I had dropped on the ground at some point. Oh, fuck. His gaze flickers to my lips before he looks away, tossing the suitcase into the trunk and shutting it. “Are you getting in, or do you need me to get the fucking door for you?” He is composed once more, and I am trying my best not to savour how he had felt and tasted.
He’s Nikki’s.
I walk around to the passenger side and get in, admiring the luxurious, spacious interior.Now, this is the perfect car to have sex in. Fuck, don’t think of sex right now.Wait, did he and Nikki fuck in this car? Urgh, yup, probably.The thought of it stings, but I refuse to ponder on it. Right now, I feel like shit. Sure, as werewolves, if you meet and mark your mate, or fuck them, it is fine, as then any other relationship becomes meaningless, but Leo… he should have broken up with Nikki for it to be okay, but he didn’t, making me the side piece.
Reject him, Azura.
“Where to?” Leo asks as he starts the car up, and R&B music comes on.
“You might change your mind about dropping me off, but I’m going to Alejandro’s pack.” His hand tightens on the steering wheel, and my attention falls to the two rings he is wearing.
“Right,” he says coldly.
“You’re still taking me?” I ask, unable to hide my surprise.
“I already said I would. I don’t go back on my word.”
“But you can go back on your marking.” I am unable to stop myself. The jolt of pain in my chest is powerful. Our eyes meet, and I wish I knew what he is thinking. I look away first. I’m not going to act like I care.
“Yeah, well, shit happens.”
His words cut worse than a knife, and for some crazy reason, they hurt far worse than anything Judah has ever said. Is it because of the bond?
I turn my attention out the window and cross my legs, not wanting to look at him. He drives in silence, but from the corner of my eyes, I can see his tatted hand on the steering wheel. His knuckles are white.
The Sangue Pack has an underground road, one that runs for miles, and I can’t deny that it intrigues me. A secret tunnel is something very ideal in many scenarios. It takes us a good tenminutes before we are out in the open. The sun is low in the sky, and the trees cast shadows on the road.
I sigh heavily, hoping that I have the courage to tell Alejandro and Kiara my entire fucked up mess. If they can just get the images of the other three, I’ll be happy. I’m ready to take the fall if I have to. I need to confess to my crimes…. I kick off my shoes and place my feet on my seat, wrapping my arms around myself and resting my chin on my knees.
Will Judah come for me? Will Marcel tell everyone that Leo is my mate? Will everyone find out about the baby?
Back in the Sangue Pack… I felt safe, even though I knew I was fucking running from my problems. My baby’s safety is the topmost priority for me. The Sangue Pack gave me that. Would Alejandro’s pack do the same? I’m not sure. I know for a fact that Judah will find out I am there. Only Leo’s pack is unreachable. Plus, he is there; my brother… I don’t want to see him. I don’t know what to say or what to do. I know his mom is alive. Is it wrong that I feel bitter that she even fucked my sperm donor when she knew he was mated? Urgh, I’m the same by kissing Leo back.
