Alpha Leo And The Heart Of Fire Chapter 14

14. Discussions & Decisions LEO.

I switched the coffee machine on, smoking a cigarette as I leaned against the worktop, looking down at my arm. The wound was long gone, but the memory remained. She was a fucking psycho, who the fuck went around stabbing people with whatever shit they had at hand?!

I overreacted. 1

I know I fucking did, but the moment Corrado started to show off his doll… I wanted her out of my life. I needed her gone, but I also knew she had reasons that were forcing her to stay, none that involved me. There was something that she was running from, and I was certain it was linked to whatever the fuck happened that night. 1 If I was able to find out, I could have it dealt with, and then tell her she was safe to leave early.

Her phone. I needed to get to work on that shit. “Good morning, Daddy.” Corrado said, as he came out of his bedroom with Winona. “Good morning, you sleep ok?” I asked, crouching down and ruffling his hair. He smiled at me and nodded, giving me a hug. “I slept the best, and Simon the robber slept with me! I want to go to Azura’s again today, ok? She said I can!” 1 I resisted frowning, hiding my irritation as I ruffled his hair. “Don’t you want to hang with Jackie or Nikki instead? Or Winona, I’m sure she takes good care of you?” “But Azura is so fun.” He said.

Yeah, she was fun, and a complete psycho! You never knew what shit she’s going to pull next.

“She even made a doll that looked like you, Daddy!” 11

I raised an eyebrow. “Did she now?”

“Yeah, she said it’s not you but it did look like you.” He grinned as Winona began taking things out for breakfast. I stood up, lifting Corrado onto the worktop. “I’ll make breakfast for us today.” I told her, she had already gotten him dressed.

I had a bit of time before Emmet showed up anyway, and I needed to explain to this kid that he was not to see her again. 1 “Are you sure, Alpha?”

I nodded, and just as she was about to leave, I spoke to her through the mind link.

‘He is not to meet Azura. She is a guest here, nothing more. I don’t trust her entirely. Be more careful next Winona, not everyone who appears to be good is good.’ 1 “Sorry Alpha, I will keep that in mind.’

‘It’s fine.’

‘Thank you, I’ll be back at noon?’

‘Perfect.

She lowered her head to me before closing the door behind her.

“So, what do you want to eat, kid?”

“Pancakes.” He replied without even thinking.

“Pancakes it is, Nutella?”

“Yes, and fruit!”

Flipping the kettle switch on, I took the readymade mix out, adding water before getting the pan. He watched me, smiling happily, and I ruffled his hair before I began on the pancakes. “Thank you for spending time with me, Daddy.”

This kid could induce so many fucking emotions from me, I don’t even know how. I gave him a one-armed hug, squeezing him.

“You don’t need to thank me for anything. I told you that.” I reminded him, pouring some boiling water into a large bowl.

“Yes, but I want to.” He smiled as I flipped the pancakes, adding some Nutella to a small bowl and placing it in the boiling water to soften.

He sighed heavily, and I glanced at him as I took the three pancakes out and added some more. “What’s up?” I asked him, waiting for the second batch to be done. “You know Azura? She can’t cook. She said making sandwiches was cooking.” 2

My heart fucking did some weird shit. I hated when I learned new shit about her, because I hated how it fucking caught my attention. She was a Westwood, remember that Leo.2

“‘Yes.”
