Alpha Leo And The Heart Of Fire Chapter 69

69. Burning Emotions

AZURA

My heart shattered watching Leo on his knees, cradling her body to his chest. Not one sound left him, but the pain and anguish that radiated off him was something I didn‘t even need the mate bond to feel. It filled the air and I had never seen him so… vulnerable.

The man that tried not to show emotions, who was always strong and cold, was now broken. Devastated by the loss of his loved ones. I wished I could turn back time and stop this from happening. I wish I could take his pain and make it my own.

Why her?

I wish I had called her last night... she must have been hoping I got her message.

Jackie...

I simply knelt behind him placing my arm around his shoulders, hoping it gave him some reprieve from the pain and heartbreak he was experiencing. His thudding heart was beating far faster than it should.

Closing my eyes, I tried to squash the guilt that was consuming me.

I brought Judah to them... I cost him his sister… and a best friend.

I made sure my walls were up, and never had I ever reinforced them as much as I did now. I didn‘t want to let him know how I was feeling. Not wanting to add to his pain.

Biting my lip, I held him tightly from behind, squeezing my eyes shut, trying to control the burning pain that was rushing through me.

Breathe…

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn‘t even notice the door open behind me, until Emmet‘s angry shouts reached me.

“Don‘t touch her!”

My eyes flew open to see Eric and another guard holding him by the arms, his hands were bound, and although he couldn‘t awaken his wolf, he was staring at Leo with such hatred that it made up for the lack of his wolf‘s rage. My own anger flashed through me, hating how he was staring at Leo.

“Watch your tone.” I growled.

He sneered at me, as he looked me over as if he had just seen me. “Ah… the one whose fault all of this is...”

A pang of pain rushed through me. My fault...

Leo‘s eyes flashed as he looked up, brushing strands of Jackie‘s hair back. “Be happy I‘m allowing you to see her when you don‘t even fucking deserve that.” He said, his voice dead of emotion and ice–cold. His aura suddenly grew as his eyes flashed. “And one more word against Azura...” He left his threat hanging.
