“And like I’ve said a thousand times, I will never let the rules slide – even for someone I consider my brother,” I growled menacingly, my aura rolling off me. He was forced to submit and looked down.
“You need me close to Marcel to make sure that he doesn’t get wind of what else you do, Leo.”Is that a threat?
“I fear no one. What I do is for my pack, and if anyone double-crosses me… then they will fucking pay. Remember that.” I ended the conversation, storming out.
“Here’s your order. Can I get you anything else?” The woman behind the counter asks.
“No,” I reply, taking out my card and paying.
Thank you,” Corrado says, picking up the bags with ease.
“You are most welcome.” She flashes him a smile before I pick up the drinks, and we head out to the car park. I help Corrado in and strap him in.
“Seatbelts on,” he says, making sure it is strapped in. “Daddy, I’ll hold the drinks so they don’t spill.”
“You sure?” I am sure we may just have more spillage…
He nods confidently, and I pass them to him, placing the bags on the seat next to him, and get into the car. Putting my own seatbelt on, something that I do when Corrado is with me, I start the car. I can feel him watching and see the happy smile on his face.
“We will watch another movie with Azura,” he declares. “I think we should ask her to come to our apartment.”
“Inviting girls home already?”
“Yes, girls we like.” He nods. I smirk as I put some clean music on before we drive out.
I text Jax, frowning, as I switch the view on the cameras again. We aren’t that far from the pack grounds, but it is fucking crazyhow on edge I feel. Emmet has a temper, and I fucking wish I had moved her upstairs to my apartment or to Marcel’s. The screen lights up with Jax’s reply, and click on it.
‘Nothing to worry about here, Alpha.’
I leave the camera on my LCD screen before calling Eric.
“Hello, Alpha.”
“Keep an eye on Emmet. He was pretty pissed when I suspended him as Delta.”
“You suspended him?” He sounds shocked.
“No, the fucking tooth fairy did. I just told you I fucking did,” I mutter, making sure to keep my voice down.
“Ah, sorry, yes, of course.”
“Keep an eye on him.” I end the call, finally within mind-linking range of the pack.
No one has gone to Azura’s room, and my eyes are fixed on the cameras on the screen. So I really need to chill out. That unease is fucking growing like the last time she had gotten hurt…
I tilt my head, frowning as I watch Jax on the stairs away from the floor, but he is standing on alert in exactly the same position he was moments ago. Is the camera frozen? Or is he really not moving?
Jax.
No reply. I park, grabbing Corrado from the back. He passes me the drinks and grabs the food.
“Come on,” I murmur, carrying him through to my underground cave.
No one has entered or left Azura’s room. She’ll be fine. Chill the fuck out, Leo.
But I fucking can’t.
“I can walk, Daddy.” He smiles, clearly happy with being carried again.
