Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

15. His Return

AZURA.

“He contacted me, wanting to meet me. I just needed a break.” I shrugged, trying to fight my nausea. I was lucky it only came here and there and that I wasn’t vomiting buckets, unlike Raven with Katara.

The girls knew a lot of what happened with Judah since Kataleya and Song both had not wanted me to get involved with him to begin with… I wish I listened, but I never really ever do, do I?

“Fuck Azura, you need to tell someone.” Skyla said, her eyes flashing a deep plum purple, that turned darker the closer it got to the pupil. Her anger clear within them. “He needs to die.” 2

“Skyla.” Kataleya murmured soothingly, placing her hand on her sister’s shoulder

Skyla closed her eyes, exhaling deeply, as she fought her emotions. Malevolent, her cat, meowed, brushing her shoulder, and Skyla’s eyes opened as she smiled down at her little fur ball. Those two had been together for years, Alejandro had gotten it for her when she was little, ten years on they were still the dangerous green-eyed duo. 2

I was the eldest of us four, it was my job to take care of them and be there for them, but instead I was giving them more stress. Skyla had her own troubles to deal with. 1

“I do agree, you need to tell someone about him. What’s holding you back?” Song asked, raising an eyebrow. “There’s a lot… I just wanted to let you guys know I’m ok, and that if anyone asks, you spoke to me and I’m perfectly fine. Song can you get me some images of Sweden and email them over to me in case Mama or anyone asks me about it?” I couldn’t really tell them much when there was a chance that he had something in this room recording me. “Look, I got a new number, adding it to this chat right now, save it and miscall me with yours. I may not have much data but I have downloaded the chat app for emergencies, but for the life of me I couldn’t remember your numbers.” Besides, I have no idea if Judah is watching my social media accounts. I didn’t want him to realise I had access to anything. “Oh perfect.” Song said as Sky miscalled me straight away, my phone rang and I smiled.

“Ok great, now we’re in touch again.” I also needed something from Dante… But how do I ask him? I looked at his sisters and an idea came to me. “There’s something I need from you, Kat.”

She raised her eyebrows innocently and nodded.

“Of course, anything, what is it?”

I smiled at her. They were only seventeen, but she was so mature. Probably the most mature of the four of us. “Dante, I need you to ask him for something since he will trust you.” I hesitated, wondering if they’ll question me if I ask for it.

Her face fell and she looked at me worriedly. “Azura, Dante’s not in England. He flew to Italy three days ago and won’t be back for a month.”

“Shit.”

“What is it?”. “I needed to ask if I can borrow something from-” ,

I heard the apartment door open and frowned. I was only in my lingerie, who would just come in here like that? How the fuck did they get in?

And then he appeared, Leo in nothing but pants, his sexy tattooed body on full display, making my core automatically clench in desire.

He was looking at me but the look on his face told me something was very wrong. Even when his eyes flickered as they lingered on my breasts, it was only for a second. “Got to go.” I said, snapping the laptop shut. “We have got to go.” Leo said, his voice dangerous.
