Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

“Sorry little She–Wolf, but I‘m not f*****g risking it. You‘ve been in this guy‘s company, so you can‘t trust

any of this s**t.”

“You‘re being extreme.” She growled, trying to s****h it from me, but I held it out of reach with ease.

“I know how small chips can be…” I watched until her face and details on the passport melted away,

tossed it aside and then destroyed her bank cards before emptying her entire bag out. I switched her

phone off but kept it with me, I‘ll do some tracing later…

The last thought I had was if she had a chip inside of her, extreme but not f*****g unheard of, I had all the

pups in my pack chipped incase something happened to them. I‘ll check when we get back… not that it

would work in my Pack anyway but I wanted to be sure either way. 5

She now stood there seething. Her heart was pounding loudly as she stared at her things.

“Get in.”

“I have no money, no clothes, no passport!” She shouted suddenly, her eyes flashing.

I clamped a hand over her mouth, pushing her up against the car.

“No f*****g big deal! You‘ll get clothes and cash, now get your little a*s into the car.” I growled.

She shoved me back and I stepped away, letting her get in, my gaze dropping to her a*s.

S**y. 4

I looked away, and slammed the door shut, went around and got into the driver‘s seat. I was about to

start the car back up, when she quickly tried to open the door.

“I‘m not letting you out, I already told –“.

She waved her hand, retching as she pointed at her mouth.

F**k, she was going to be sick. I unlocked the door and she stumbled out, running to the bushes and

threw up. I got out, swiftly scanning the surroundings, before I walked over to her. Guess she got motion

sickness..

I stood by her side as she clutched her stomach with one hand, the other struggling to hold back her silky

locks. I reached over, gathering her hair up and held it back, as she emptied her stomach. 5

“Urgh.” She groaned once she had finished emptying the contents of her stomach.

“Guess you‘re not as strong as one would think.” I remarked, letting go of her glossy hair. s

I grabbed one of her discarded items of clothes and passed it to her.

She wiped her mouth and tossed it onto the floor again, then looked at me. I had half a mind to make

another comment but she looked f*****g pale.

“Thanks.” She said with an expression in her eyes I couldn‘t read.

“We‘ll stop at the next service station, and grab something to drink.” I suggested. She didn‘t argue,

instead walked to the passenger side and got in, resting her head back against the headrest.

I got in, locking the doors before I started driving. She kept her eyes closed as we continued, it was

already late, and it had gotten dark outside. I turned the volume up a little on the music, enjoying the

silence that gave me the space to think things over. The pull of the bond was still hanging between us,

even though I had weakened it by rejecting her, it didn‘t stop me from thinking about her…

Her arguing with me earlier had f*****g made me lose my self–control, the way her eyes were flashing,

her chest heaving with rage that she wasn‘t afraid to express, it was a f*****g turn on and I wanted to f**k

her senseless, but I couldn‘t. Accepting her meant me swallowing my words, when I have stood against

the elite for so f*****g long… 1

Why the f**k was I even considering it?

If I took her back, everyone was going to question it… Although Marcel and Corrado would be f*****g

happy. 2

She was f*****g crazy, and with her you never knew what she‘d do next, but it was pretty f*****g amusing.

Like that doll that I sure as f**k knew was meant to be me, when she said it was a voodoo doll. 2

And now I had to f*****g decide where to put her, should I place her in my penthouse in the city? Na, it

was too far if s**t happened… Maybe I should keep her in my underground bedroom? 1

Yeah like a f*****g prisoner, that would be f*****g weird.

What should I do… I know I didn‘t need to answer to anyone, but things were already f*****g rocky

between Nikki and me… and with Marcel saying he‘d hand me the title if I settled down and took a Luna?

I didn‘t want him to think I was choosing Azura, and neither did I want her to be the reason I attained that

title. A title I f*****g deserved anyway.

I glanced over at her, she was staring blankly out the window. I could see her expression in the glass,

blank and emotionless, but one thing I had learned was when she wore that expression, her mind and

emotions were working in overdrive. I should have been preparing for my shipment tomorrow but

instead, I‘m here with her, my mind consumed with other things…

We had stopped at a service station, where I had just grabbed some snacks and drinks, having no f*****g

clue what she liked, before we had headed back home. She had barely said a word for the entire

journey, and even though the car was f*****g big, I was very aware of her every

move.

Her scent was still as appealing as it was the first time I had found out she was my mate. A temptation

that didn‘t just go away. I had kept an eye out, but after that we weren‘t followed, making the rest of the

journey pass without a hitch. We finally reached home, and I had just parked up in my underground car

park again. Only I had access to this place. A chill had fallen, and when we stepped out of the car I saw

her curl her toes as they touched the cold ground.

I still wasn‘t sure what to do with her, and so I decided to take her to the bedroom that led off my cave.

Yeah, keep her like a f*****g creep in the basement.

“Where are we going?” She asked as I led her away from the lift.

“You‘re staying down here until I get some stuff sorted.”

“Oh, so you force me to come back and then want to keep me hidden? Geez, I wonder why?” She

remarked icily.

I don‘t know what her f*****g issue was, but being back here reminded me of the kiss we shared earlier…

“Think whatever the f**k you want, you‘re staying here until I say.”

“I am not your prisoner.” She growled.

Alpha?‘ Leo?‘ 1

I frowned when Jackie‘s voice came into my head. 1

‘What is it?‘ I asked coldly as I unlocked the entrance and led the way in, not missing the way she looked

around. Despite her irritation, she still followed as I led her to the bedroom. The room was pretty private,

even though the pain wall was frosted and looked out into the main room. 1

‘Sorry… but we had a time set, I made sure Emmet wouldn‘t know…’

I frowned.

Yeah, I forgot with all this s**t going on. 2

‘I’ll meet you later, around midnight, just say to Emmet the hospital needed you.’ ‘Of course, got it. Same

place?‘ ‘Yeah.‘I cut the link, I didn‘t need anyone f*****g seeing us together. 1 I looked over at Azura, who

was scanning the room. It was a modern room with a dark interior, a huge tv and surround sound. A

king–sized bed was on the far wall with a panelled backdrop. There was a black fitted wardrobe and

chest of drawers containing my clothes to one side. She wouldn‘t get bored with plenty to watch, or at

least not entirely f*****g bored. “There‘s a bathroom right through there, grab something of mine to wear,

for now, I‘ll get Winona to get some stuff for you. Or there‘s a tablet, just choose whatever the f**k you

want, here‘s my card.” I placed the card on the bedside table. “There‘s a fridge there next to the bed

in that cabinet, and there‘s a collection of alcoholic drinks out in the main room. Help yourself, just don‘t

touch anything else.” “And my phone?” She asked, completely ignoring everything I said. “This was a

new number right? He still got a hold of it somehow. I need to check a few things out before I can give it

back to you.”

She let out an irritated exhale.

“Look, I feel like you‘ve taken me prisoner. I get you have taken this personally, but why? I am nothing to

you, remember? I don‘t want to be here Leo!” She snapped, running her fingers through her hair.

Yeah, obviously.

“Do you want him f*****g caught or not?”

“I don‘t have the time to stay here! Yes, I want him caught, goddess! He has pictures of Kat, Sky, and my

other friend Song! What if he releases them on the net?! F**k, I don‘t know if this was a good idea. Leo,

this could f*****g break Kataleya. She‘s so d**n innocent and sweet, I know you hate the elite but this will

really affect her. She has done nothing to you, think of her.

I clenched my jaw. Yeah, I f*****g did hate the elite… didn‘t mean I hated the kids… Then why not accept

Azura? A Being ok with someone and making them my Luna, were two f*****g different things. 1 I took

out a cigarette and lit it, taking a drag on it. “I have a better chance at doing something about this s**t

than Alejandro does, unless it comes down to not trusting me–” “Oh for fucks sake, can you stop

stressing me the f**k out?! This isn‘t about me not trusting you! Goddess! I know you‘re f*****g smart!

Everyone has mentioned how you‘re f*****g tech savvy! But me being here is messed up, I need to get

away from you! Don‘t you get it, Leo? Being around you is hard!” She shouted, her eyes glittering with

tears of frustration. “I don‘t want to see your f*****g face!”

My eyes flashed, as anger flared through me.

I closed the gap between us and grabbed hold of her elbow, pulling her close.

“If I‘m so f*****g repulsive, reject me, get rid of the f*****g bond that is keeping us both trapped in f*****g

limbo.” I hissed menacingly. I was f*****g trying to help, and here she was acting like I was the f*****g

issue. A flash of hurt flickered in her eyes before she shoved me violently. She was strong, but not f*****g

strong enough. “Fine. You want it, I‘ll give you it.”

My heart raced as I stared at her.

She was going to do it. I could see it in her eyes; the pain, the fear, and above all, that fire of

determination.

Will she really be able to do it?

It had been f*****g hard to say those words… I had to give it my f*****g all, I had reminded myself of

everything I hated, and only then had I been able to do it. Was she strong enough to

do the same?

But her next words hit hard.

“I, Azura Rayne Westwood,” She was doing it, f**k this was it. A few stray tears splashed down her

cheeks, and my own heart was thundering. Why now that she was ready to accept it, was it f*****g

messing me up? “Accept your–” 4

“Not yet.” I cut her off, my voice hoarse as I clamped my hand over her mouth and stared into her

beautiful blue eyes. Our hearts were thudding as we both stared into each other‘s eyes.

Two shades of blue… yet so f*****g different from one another… 2

“You can accept it when you leave.” It was a f*****g poor excuse. I turned away, feeling shaken. “I have a

lot going on right now and need to be at the top of my game…”

Why had that f*****g unnerved me? Wasn‘t her rejection what I wanted, so these emotions could f*****g

go away?

I left the room swiftly, knowing if she wanted, she could reject me at any time… and I knew her enough to

know that she‘d do it too… 2
