Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

16. An Outsider AZURA. And with those words, I walked over to him confidently and gave him a big bear hug, praying that thisworked.

I felt Leo's aura rolling off him in waves, but just when I thought he wasgoing to slit my throat in anger, Marcel let out a hearty laugh.

"It's a true honour! I need to hear what is going on, but how about Ilet you finish getting dressed..." He trailed off as his eyes fell on my mark, frowning deeply.

“I never knew you were mated?”

“Oh I am.

Kinda.” I winked.

"Azura is really cool, but she can't cook." Corrado added helpfully.

2 I pouted as I looked at mini Leo, did he really need to add that part? Marcel chuckled, “Wellwe won't need Azura to cook, we have plenty of people who can cook! But I'm happy to see you here.

Surprised, but happy." He placed his hand on my head and I could see the happiness inhis eyes.

I smiled back, seeing Nikki turn and walk off.

Leo glanced at me but didn't say anything, and I had a feeling he knew I wouldn’t say anything, before he followed her, and I heard theirfootstep receding.

I hated how that hurt.

"Well, I will let you get dressed, come down to mine when you are ready! Come Corrado, I have brought you some gifts.” He picked up his grandson, andthe moment I shut the door after them, I let out a breath of relief and ran a hand through my hair.

Oh for fucks sake, I am so screwed.

My heart thudded when a sudden thought came to me, what if Marcel mentioned to someone thatI was here? Goddess, help me.

I needed some air, entering my bedroom I pushed open one of the windows, taking a few deep breaths to calm myself, not to mention the nausea that was gettingto me.

After a few minutes, I began looking through my things for something decent to wear.

"For fucks sake Nikki, stop it!" I froze when I heard Leo’s voice through the window, my heart thundering.

"'Why were you in her room?! Why is she here?! Something isn’t right and you’re hiding it from me! Who the fuck is she?” “I’m not fuckingdoing this with you! She's no-one." Thanks, dick-face.

But what did I expect? Him to tell her I'm his mate? “Is she? Then why were youin her room?! She was in her bra!" "Oh for real, Nikki? We're fucking werewolves, I've seen hundreds of she-wolves in their bras, or without." Wow, that's one way for you to make a point Leo, fucking perv.

2 “In her room Leo.

With the door shut.

I'm not fucking stupid! I want to know who she is.” “You heard her, she’s a fucking Westwood, happy?” “Exactly! Why would youallow someone from a family you dislike here?! There's something going on!" She shouted.

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me, I was becoming the cause of problems intheir relationship...

I will go to this lunch and then I'll figure something out.

Maybe I needed to go to Alejandro and Kiara.

Plan or not, I had to go.

5 "Leo!" "I'm not having this fucking conversation with you." His voice was fainter, and I heard the distant sound of a door shutting.

I looked at the beige top in my hand, feeling disappointed in myself.

I had wasted enough time mulling over things and coming up with zero solutions.

I walked over to the bed and sat down, taking a moment to collect my thoughts.

Going to Alejandro would fuck up a lot…
