“Good. At least you’re learning to listen,” he replies, his voice almost antagonising. My eyes flash, and I look him square in the eye.
“Don’t try me. I don’t listen unless I want to.” Neither of us look away, a clash of wills, with both of us refusing to bend.
“Maybe that’s what got you into this mess to start with. Your lack of logic and your rash temper are enough to land you in this kind of shit,” he says icily.
I hate how he has a point… I don’t want to admit it, and I won’t,but I don’t like the way he seems to see right through me.
“These files are from just under a decade ago. I’m curious to see what the current Shadow Wolves database says.” He presses some buttons on his keyboard, and I narrow my eyes.
“Are you hacking into their database?”
“Do you want to know or not?”
“I do… but -”
“So this is on both of us.”
“No, it’s not. Why not go to the Shadow Wolves Pack and ask them?” I frown. He looks at me with a cold, arrogant expression.
“So, instead of doing something I can do right here within a few hours, you expect me to travel to the Shadow Wolves Pack and waste an entire fucking day?
“It’s called doing things the right way?” Yeah, I’m one to talk, especially after everything I have done. He sits forward, taking a drag on his cigarette, his eyes locked with mine.
“Here’s a news flash, little she-wolf. I don’t follow rules.” I hate how my stomach knots in pleasure at his deep, sexy voice. Why do I have a thing for bad boys?
No, I don’t like Leo. Nope never.It doesn’t matter if he has those sexy lips, or those eyes that are so damn sexy or -
Stop, Azura!I frown, trying to rearrange my thoughts when he speaks.
“Do you have any pictures of him?” He asks.
“No. I deleted what I had when I broke up with him, but he hated pictures so the ones I had were very rare.” I shrug.
“Great,” he mutters, sounding very sarcastic. “I need to check if he’s chipped you.”
“How?” I ask, narrowing my eyes.
“An X-ray. It’s pretty simple.”
X-ray. My heart begins thudding. Although the radiation can’t damage my baby due to our healing, it would show up on the X-ray, and I do not want Leo to know about this baby. Not yet.Deep down I know at some point I will have to because although he didn’t want me, he would be a good father…
“No,” I reply, firmly pushing the thoughts away before that sadness comes over me once more. He raises an eyebrow.
“Why?”
“He didn’t know I was here, so obviously whatever you’ve got in place stops any unwanted -”
“It’s one fucking X-ray. My jammers hold off any unwanted signals, but unless you never plan to venture out of this pack, we need to make sure he hasn’t chipped you.”
My heart is thudding, and I don’t know what to say.Think quick, Azura...He is watching me intently… and he sure isn’t dumb.
“I dated him for a while… and I can assure you that he was not tech savvy.”
“Yet you don’t seem to know enough about him to convince me. It’s one fucking X-ray. What’s the issue?” He asks sharply.
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
“Let’s do that at another time,” I suggest, not wanting to discuss this further.
