Page 60 of Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire
I look atJackie just as she is about to speak, but I don’t bother replying, pulling my shirt back on.
“I’ll see you around.” She nods, biting her lip.
“Leo, where did Azura go?” I tense, wondering if Nikki has already told her.
“That’s none of your concern.” She nods, looking down.
“Is she safe?” Odd question. I turn back to her slowly, looking at her sharply.
“Why do you ask?” She swallows and shakes her head, her heart thumping.
“She said her ex wasn’t a good person.” Interesting.
“Oh? What else?” I ask, looking at her keenly. Her heart is racing far too fast, and she steps back in fear.
“Nothing else. She just didn’t want him finding her,” she mumbles. Hmm. I frown deeply.
“Next time, if anyone tells you anything, you are to fucking report to me. Understood?”
“Y-yes, Alpha,” she says, fidgeting.
I don’t wait for a reply as I leave the room, making sure no one sees me as I slip away. Jackie’s words from earlier fill my mind, but I push them away. I won’t think about them for tonight. All I want to do is shift and go for a run, but I can’t. I have things to do. It is time I fucking found this ex of Azura’s and show him exactly what happens when you mess with me.
A Strange Result
Azura
Idon’t want to be back here. It is hard being here and feeling this pain. I still don’t know how to feel about him wanting to help. Sure, it feels great having someone as smart, powerful, and ruthless as Leo on my side, but I also know that Judah is twisted, dark, and manipulative. Will Leo be able to fix this? It is a game of risk.
I stay in the shower for a while before I wrap a towel around myself, then dry my hair with a second towel. I walk into the bedroom, spotting the tray of food on the bed. My stomach rumbles, and I can’t wait to dig in. Goddess, I am starved.
I pull on my panties and walk over to the wardrobe, taking out a white shirt. I look at it before putting it on. I sigh heavily as I plop onto the bed, reminiscing on the moment he had held my hair back when I vomited.And he should, this is his kid, too!But he doesn’t know I am pregnant…
Well, it seems he has some humanity in him.
This baby… I am beginning to realise I may not be able to keep it from him. If he wants to see his child, can I really be a bitch and refuse him? I pick up the tray, place it on the bed, and begin eating.
Since I am going to be staying here, I need to get Dante’s necklace somehow without Leo realising why, and I think it istime I told Mama and them who my mate is. And the fact that I am here at the Sangue Pack.
I play with the pasta. Despite how hungry I am, I’m suddenly not really in the mood to eat. I notice the bag on the bed and pull it closer, emptying its contents. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a body sponge, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a pack of tampons, a hairbrush, and moisturiser. Wow, seems like he can be a little considerate. Shame for him I used his toothbrush and products already. I shrug as I pick up the box of tampons and toss them in the air. I smack it, letting it fly across the room. It hits the wall and drops to the floor.Now that is something I don’t need, thanks to the dumb Rossi and his sperm.
I begin eating again, my gaze flitting to the tablet, musing over my options. I could contact Dante via email. Yeah, I know, old-school, but at least he’ll get it and hopefully check it soon... Kat even gave me his number, but oh well. I pick up the tablet and switch it on. The screen goes blank for a second before it turns on. Logging into my email, I find Dante’s address and begin typing a message.
Hey, nephew!
Hope you are enjoying your time in Italy. Eat my share of pizza and pasta, and send me pictures.
So, the reason I am messaging you, and I really hope you see this message… I need to borrow a certain amulet of yours. You can probably guess what I’m talking about and why… I know you wear it… but is there a chance I can borrow it for a bit? Please? I’ll stop nagging you about calling me Aunty? And don’t ignore me. I am very sorry for putting the scorpion down your swimming trunks a few years ago and for adding super glue to your hair last year, I swear I was just jealous. You know I have to hold the title of the best hair, right? I mean, aside from Rayhan.
Anyway, since I apologised, can I borrow it?’
Lots and lots of love, your simple, poor, innocent, misguided Aunty – sorry, I mean Azura, not Aunty.
I love you lots, remember that, okay? Even your annoying face. Okay, bye.
I look at my messages, thinking I have pranked him a lot over the years, with the help of Sky, of course. The guy needed to lighten up a little. Broody Rossis…
I place the tablet aside and eat some more pasta. Through the frosty wall of the bedroom, I notice the outside room light up a little. Is Leo back down here?
