“Okay, yeah, Azura shutting up now.”So smart of you, Azura…
“Winona will bring you food… try to not cause trouble?” I simply pout at that, nodding like the good girl I sure as heck am not. My cheeks heat from my ridiculous comment. “Good. I will probably be back really late, so if you do need to contact me, tell Winona.” I nod, and he turns away, about to leave when I call him.
“Oi, Blue Eyes!” He stops and looks at me over his shoulder. “Thank you. For helping me out.” Our eyes meet, that intense spark simmering between us before he nods and turns away.
“Anytime.”
His one word ignites a storm of emotions inside of me before the door shuts with a small thud.
Anytime. Even if he doesn’t want me as a mate, he is still helping me, and I don’t feel so alone… I feel protected. I have family, but right now, there is so much I just don’t want them to know…
I walk over to the sofa and drop onto it, turning the tablet on. I log onto my email, and my heart skips a beat when I see the email from ‘The D Rossi’. Dante has replied! My heart thumps as I quickly click on the message.
Hey,
I don’t think one apology covers everything you did, but I’ll take it since I now have proof in writing of what you haveattempted.
We haven’t talked in a while, and I guess you’ve got some stuff going on, but you’re not alone. Always remember, no matter what crap comes your way, that the first person who comes to your mind will always be there for you. Ok those are my words of wisdom lol… moving on...
As for that necklace, you don’t need it. I mean, I could send it to you, but there won’t be any use for it. However, if you still want it, let me know.
Pictures of Italy? I’m here due to work. There’s nothing pretty to look at, trust me, but I’m attaching one below of the best thing I’ve seen around here.
Love, your current favourite Rossi male.
I pout as I stare at his email. I don’t need it? Why don’t I need it? Does it mean Leo figures this out? Please, no…
Right below the message is a picture of none other than himself. Cocky much? He has the angular jaw famous in the Rossi men, plump lips like his mama, and those glossy curls that I hate because I am jealous of them of course. I stick my tongue out at the picture before placing the tablet down as I mull over Dante’s message. Current favourite Rossi? Is that a hint at Leo or my baby? Urgh, I love this guy, but the way he talks messes with my head. It can’t be Leo… but who said I’ll give my baby the Rossi name?
I suddenly sit bolt upright, placing my hand on my stomach as the sudden realisation that I am carrying a Rossi hits me like a freight train.
An actual goddamn Rossi.
Imagining an arrogant little snarky mini-Leo, I shudder. Oh, I’m really screwed…
Coming Clean
Azura
Istay in the apartment, not wanting to run into anyone else, and it is so boring with nothing to do. Winona had come with lunch and then again for dinner. It is obvious from the way she is looking around that no one knows I am here. Guess dickface wants no one to know. I am tempted to ask her if I can see Corrado but after last time… I’m not sure Leo would appreciate it.
So here I am… wondering what I should do. Marcel knows who my mate is, and it has come to a point where I know I can’t keep lying to my family.
I stare at the tablet that sits on the bed, then glance at the time. Just past ten… Katara would be put to bed by now… should I video-call? My fingers itch before I take a deep breath, thinking,Just go ahead with it. Marcel knows, and Leo doesn’t want anyone here knowing, but that doesn’t mean my parents can’t know. If he pushes for the X-ray, then he’ll find out about the baby, too…
Before I end up changing my mind, I quickly set up a video call between Kiara, Raven, and Mama, knowing their mates will be there, too.Goddess…here goes nothing.Kiara is the first to accept the call.
“Hey, Azura! It’s been a while. How are you?” She asks with asmile on her face.
Kia, my sister, is the younger twin, with Liam being older. She has shoulder-length sandy blond hair, with gorgeous eyes that are sage green with a blue ring around them. Plump lips and a gorgeous curvy figure complete her goddess-like looks. She is a blessed wolf with healing abilities, as well as being the queen.
“I’m okay, how are you guys?” I ask as a shirtless Alejandro comes into view. Even though he is now in his fifties, he is still as hot as ever, if not getting hotter with age. Alejandro Rossi, the tattooed Lycan King, is also Leo’s uncle.This is going to be fun.
“Good until you decided to fucking interrupt,” Alejandro remarks, sitting behind Kiara with ease, his legs on each side of her and wrapping his arms around her tightly.
“I swear, Alejandro, with age, you are getting crankier by the second. Poor Kia, stuck with a grumpy old man,” I taunt.
“Ignore him. He may be acting like this, but when he saw the call was from you, he came over rather quickly,” Kiara says, smiling slightly. Just then, Mama and Raven join the call.
