Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

33. A Blinding Awakening LEO.

We were sitting in the cinema, watching a kid‘s movie, but I could tell Corrado wasn‘t enjoying it as much, as he was enjoying watching me with a huge smile on his face. I felt fucking bad, I was gone so often that he was regularly left without even seeing me on some days. “Not enjoying the movie?” I asked, looking down at him. He shook his head.

“No, I love it! I‘m loving the movie because Daddy came with me.” He smiled and I leaned down, cupping the back of his head, placing a kiss on his forehead.

“Me too. It may be boring, but I like that we get this time, you know.” I remarked, adjusting his mini popcorn tray in his lap.

“Thank you, Daddy.”

I gave him a wink before glancing at my phone. Azura hadn‘t left her room, which I was relieved about, but I couldn‘t get what happened earlier out of my fucking mind.

She was still hurting from all the shit I did to her... But she didn‘t get what I had meant, I regretted marking her because of my limited time… I know Jackie has told me that Kiara could probably heal me, but I was unable to put aside my ego and ask them for anything. I didn‘t need their help, just for Marcel and all of them to remind me that I fucking owed them... 9

A couple of young women slid into the seats next to me. Whispering and giggling irritatingly, they had been seated elsewhere before they had left not long ago. The entire room was pretty empty, and I was certain they didn‘t pay for the seats they had now fucking taken.

Corrado‘s eyes turned toward them before he looked at me, frowning slightly.

“He‘s so fit.”

“Damn and who‘s the kid with him?”

“Let me sit next to him.” They were whispering quietly, but obviously, it was fucking loud in my ears.

Irritating as fuck.

I didn‘t spare them even a glance while watching the screen, despite half my attention being on Corrado.

“Hey, cutie.” One of the women waved at him, leaning closer. Corrado raised his eyebrows, looking at me and then at the women again. “My Daddy has a girlfriend.” He declared, and I almost smirked. 6 He had realised pretty young that women tried to talk to him to get to me, and he never stood for it.

“Um sure, what‘s your name?”

I was tempted to speak up, but watching my kid deal with them was far more entertaining. “I don‘t tell strangers my name. Sorry. Daddy, let‘s go home, Azura is waiting for you.” My eyebrow shot up.

Azura? Didn‘t he mean Nikki?

“The movie?” “It‘s boring, and I don‘t like girls.” He whispered loudly. 1 I sure fucking hoped the women were feeling fucking humiliated, and I stood up.

“Let‘s go kid.” I lifted him up, walking out the other way.

“So why did you say Azura and not Nikki?” I asked, taking my phone out,

“You and Nikki broke up, so now we keep Azura as your new girlfriend.” ;

My eyebrow shot up and I wondered if this kid was going to be a playboy growing up. 3

“Isn‘t that moving too fast? Nikki just left.”

“No Daddy, because you and Nikki argue about more than football for many days now. So now we keep Azura forever.” He declared as we left the viewing room. 3

Wow... and I thought I did a good job in keeping that shit hidden. 2

Friend or not, I’m not going to break the rules for you.” I warned, my eyes flashing. “You are going to believe a fucking Elite? One who has fucking reaped discord since she‘s got here. Tell me, who is her fucking mate that ain‘t accepting her?!” “Jax.” I lied, knowing this meant I would have to tell Jax the truth, but he‘d keep the secret. “Jax Adams?
