Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 29 – Do I Trust Him

AZURA.

“Try me.”

His words rang in my head, and I wanted to. Somehow, I wanted to blurt it all out and have him fix it…

It was weird, the way he made me feel like I could rely on him. It confused the heck out of me because I

always handled everything myself.

He looked so yummy in that black shirt and grey pants. His toned thighs, narrow waist and those

delicious muscular biceps … This guy was born with incredible genes and those blue eyes… goddess

never had I liked the colour more.

But the way he was behaving was unnerving me… I could feel his anger. I just wasn’t sure if it was

because I left the room, or f**ked up his delta’s face, or because maybe seeing me injured pissed him

off?

Stop kidding yourself Azura… He marked you, rejected you, and watched you collapse before walking

away…

The memory felt like a harsh slap in the face, and I broke our eye contact, moving away from his touch.

I pushed the painful thought away and took a deep breath.

“I was in here when I heard two loud bangs and they sounded a bit weird; so I thought I’d go see if Jackie

was ok, I barely got out the door when I saw Emmet storm out their door….” I nudged him away with my

shoulder and slid out from wliere he had me trapped. “He entered the lift and I hurried to their door,

Jackie opened it thinking it was Emmet. That’s when I saw that she had a bruise on her cheek and

around her neck. It wasn’t even just finger marks; he had dug his claws into her skin and then… she just

said to me not to tell the Alpha.’

I turned and looked at him, he was standing there, one hand to his chin, the other in his pocket and he

was frowning deeply, obviously wanting me to continue. So I looked him square in the eye and carried

on.

“When I went down there, he was around the side of the building about to go through some door, and I

called him. He told me to mind my own business, and I confronted him. He got pissed and threatened

me. Then I defended myself by losing my sh*t and attacking him like the psycho I am.” I finished with a

shrug.

No reaction.

That frown remained, as his eyes dipped to my forearm, where I was bleeding a little, although it was

already healing up pretty well. It wasn’t a big deal… if he saw Emmet…

“So although he’s your Delta, he could use some work…” I mumbled as he advanced on me but despite

the fact he was oozing dominance and power, it wasn’t threatening, even if my heart was racing. I knew

that was because of something entirely different.

He took my wrist in his hand before raising it to his mouth, and to my surprise, he ran his tongue along

the graze, sending a riveting jolt of pleasure straight to my core.

I knew alpha saliva helped heal faster, but the way he was looking at me was anything but innocent.

I yanked my arm away, frowning at him, despite feeling my cheeks heat up.

“What are you doing!” I growled.

He c**ked a brow, taking out a cigarette and lighting it.

“Alpha saliva heals, or don’t you know that?”

“I do,but just because I had a graze doesn’t mean you are going to go around licking it.” I frowned,

although it left a cooling touch in its wake.

“I saw a cut and I licked it. End of f**king story.” He growled, smoking his cigarette.

“I have a graze on my a*s, are you going to lick that too?” I shot back, before freezing as his eyes met

mine.

You really are the classiest woman in the world, Azura. Is there ever a time I didn’t put my foot in my

d*mn mouth?

“Do you want me to?” He replied mockingly.

Leo’s pierced tongue on my a*s?

Hmm yes, please.

Wait no.

I glared at him.

“No thanks,” I muttered, stalking out of the bedroom. I did not want to be in there when everything that

was coming into my head was far from decent.

I knew I was frustrated, and I always got carried away when I’m overwhelmed, I heard him follow me

silently before I turned to him.

“So, uh, do you believe me?”

“I can tell when someone lies.” He said simply. “I’ll have someone come to check up on your injuries, get

some rest.”

He didn’t answer me… Would he do nothing?

“I’m not lying.” I tried, unable to hide the frustration in my voice.

He paused his hand on the door handle, turning and looking at me, and I knew this was my last chance.

“I’ve heard of stories where people hide abuse, where even the best of Alphas don’t notice it happening

beneath their noses. Women or even men, who keep it a secret because they love their mates too much

to let them go.”

He turned back to me, watching me with that sharp, calculating look in his eyes.

“Seems like you know someone who has been through that.”

I wasn’t going to hide it because of my own pride, because if this got him to see that Jackie needed him,

then I was ready to tell him.

“Indigo, my biological mother… She let her mate treat her like sh*t just so he stayed by her side. She

was so blinded that without him, she lost the will to live.”

And she didn’t care if I died or lived…

I looked away from those ice-cold eyes, hating how vulnerable I sounded.

“I’m just… Jackie is a good person, I don’t want her to go down that path.”

I looked down at my nails.

He approached but I didn’t look up trying to compose my emotions. When he placed two fingers under

my chin, forcing my face up, our eyes met.

“Friend, brother, or pack member… if someone is abusing their mate, I will deal with them. Rest assured

Little She-Wolf, I know you’re not lying, you’ve told me what you saw. Now I’ll handle the rest. Get some

sleep once you’re checked over.”

He cared for others, but it kind of hurt that he had also hurt me.

This isn’t about you Azura, but Jackie. I didn’t want another woman to become Indigo.

I gave a small nod, trying to pull away from his touch that was making my heart pound and head feel

light. But he refused to let go, curling his fingers under my chin and forcing me to look at him. He

searched my eyes for something before I pulled away and turned my back on him.

He didn’t say anything, and I sensed him moving away. I could only breathe when I heard the door click

shut…

LEO.

I left the room, taking my phone out.

‘Becky, can you come to the 7th floor of my apartment block? There’s an important guest in the

apartment across from Emmet’s. Check her over. She was in a fight, and may have a few fractures.’

‘Of course Alpha Leo. I will be there in ten.

“Thanks.’

I ended the link, looking at the video Eric :: had sent. From their body language it was clear they were

arguing. Then Emmet grabbed her and my eyes blazed, the urge to cross the floor and rip that door off

its hinges and Stop.

I was thinking like a deranged beast… One that reminded me of someone I hated to the f**king core.

Emmet will get what’s coming to him, but it’s too late. I would handle this in the morning I h**ked up her

door to my phone, every time she left, I’d know…

I think I would pay Marcel a visit, I’m certain he had answers I could use.

Jax are you there?’

‘Yeah Alpha, I just got back, any issue?”.

‘I want you to keep an eye on Azura Westwood. She’s on the 7th floor across from Emmet’s place.’

A slight silence followed as I entered the lift and headed down.

“Yeah, of course.’

‘No one aside from Winona is to go to her room. Make sure no one sees you, especially Emmet.’

‘Understood Alpha.’

I left the apartment building, smoking a cigarette as I made my way to Marcel’s, a place I hated coming

to… I hated the fact that he would always choose them over me.

I rang the door, although I knew the code, I refused to walk into a place that I did not consider mine.

The door was opened by a shirtless Marcel, a towel around his shoulders. It was obvious he had just

showered after his workout.

“Leo.” A smile crossed his face as if he was happy to see me, and I simply brushed past him.

“I had a few questions.” I replied coldly, looking at him.

He closed the door and nodded.

“Ask away.” He said, crossing his arms.

“What’s the story behind Azura Westwood’s biological mother?” I asked.

He raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly.

“Why would you be interested in Azura’s life?”

“I’m not, and don’t antagonise me. You already know that she was my mate.”

“Is your mate.”

Our eyes met, and I held his cold gaze.

“I rejected her.”

He looked almost sympathetic before nodding and jerking his head towards the lounge.

“Come on in.”

I followed, refusing to take a seat and instead walked over to the window overlooking the front garden, as

I smoked my cigarette.

“I thought Azura left but I heard not long ago that she’s back?”

“Plans changed. She’ll be leaving soon, don’t worry.” I reply, looking at him indifferently.

He nodded, sitting down and observing me with a tilt of his head.

“She’s a strong woman with a good heart, albeit a little adventurous, Leo. She’s perfect for you.”

“Yeah, of course, a Westwood can’t be anything but perfect in your eyes. I don’t really f**king care. I

asked about Indigo Malone, not if Azura is perfect for me or not.” This Chapter is Provided By

Marcel sighed before looking at his hands.

“Fine. She had a mate who abused and cheated on her. In fact, she even miscarried a few times

because of his abuse.”

So was that why this situation with Jackie triggered her, because it reminded her of Indigo?

“It was terrible, and when it came to light, Alejandro lost it. Fred was one of his most trusted men, and

the fact that this was happening under his nose made him lose it. He made the hard decision to send him

on a suicide mission… and he died. Just like everyone knew he would. Alejandro felt the pack link break

and Indigo felt the loss of a mate.”

I didn’t know that…

“So Alejandro punished him by killing him off… So ultimately, isn’t he responsible for Indigo’s death,

because everyone knows that not many can survive the loss of their f**king mate?” I smoked my

cigarette, raising an eyebrow.

Marcel frowned.

“It’s not like that.” He said sharply, but he looked a bit unnerved.

“It f**king is. He ended two lives that day, f**k almost three. A logical person would have put him in

prison, not for his sake but for his mate’s. So, the way I see it, this brother of yours has made a lot of

f**king mistakes.”

“Everyone makes mistakes, Leo, but Alejandro did it for Indigo, hoping she’d find someone-”

“Did he know she was pregnant?’

“Yes, but that’s-”

“So he still f**king risked her and Azura’s lives? Because everyone knows the loss of a mate can f**king

break you. She went into that battle wanting to die

right?” He was frowning as he looked at me, almost as if he didn’t know what to say.

“Can I assume you are worried or angry for Azura?” He was watching me intently.

“Why would I be?” I denied.

This entire conversation left a bitter taste in my mouth? There was more to Azura Westwood than met

the eye, and the urge to learn and figure her out was growing. I liked puzzles, and she brought a few.

The topmost being her f**king ex. I actually wanted to see exactly what this f**ker had, that had made

her f**king date him.

“I’ll be leaving.” I strode to the door when he spoke up.

“Leo, take her as your Luna. I assure you

she will make you happy and Corrado loves her already.” He said quietly.

I didn’t bother turning back or answering. Shutting the door behind me, I left.

I replayed the video once again as I made my way home, not wanting to think about what Marcel had

said. I watched the clip, seeing her brace her feet on the wall before flipping over and landing behind

him.

D*mn, there was nothing hotter than seeing a woman kick a*s.

I was unable to stop the smirk on my face as she knocked Emmet to the ground. He was a c**ky sh*t, so

this was fun to see.

I should ask her for a sparring match, I’m sure that would be pretty interesting…

Pocketing my phone I headed back, Emmet would meet me in the morning regarding the shipment

anyway, and I didn’t want him to be on alert when I questioned him. I wanted to know his f**king side,

and then I’ll be the judge.
