Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

45. Letting her Misunderstand LEO.

“So that‘s him?” Song asked Azura quietly. “Yup.” “Ok Azura, he‘s so–”

“Don‘t, I bet his big ears are listening in.” Azura muttered. 4

I was outside the hospital room whilst they talked inside quietly, but yeah I could still hear and see them with the door slightly ajar. Azura was sitting next to her friend with her arms around her.

We had gotten back pretty fast, I had Azura with me and I knew instantly why she had felt that pain. In the fight, I had overexerted myself, and she had felt it... Luckily, she had regained consciousness pretty quickly before we even got back to pack grounds.

Since then, she has been watching me intently, almost calculatingly... I had to fucking make sure that didn‘t happen again, for her sake... 1

But then what about overall?

The bottom line was I‘m fucking dying, and that pain would only increase as the days and weeks passed by. 1

The doctor had checked her over and she was fine. As for her friend, she had been tended to and was in good care, although she‘d be hospitalised for a few days.

My injections weren‘t really ideal to use on a human... however I had recommended they give her a very diluted dose to see if it helped. If it didn‘t help, it didn‘t, but just trying the small amount held no harm. “So, what are you going to do now?” Jax asked, hands in his pocket as he stood across from me. “Regarding?” I asked, walking away from the hospital room and down the corridor.

“Regarding our Luna and her friend?” 2

“Song Daquin is welcome to stay until she‘s healed.” I replied shortly. “And the Luna?”

“Stop calling her that.” I muttered. “Until she joins the pack?” Jax persisted. Why the fuck was he so pushy? He was the only one I would be seen around the pack with. Not everyone knew how close I was to the six, and I preferred it that way. We‘d occasionally go for drinks on a night out, but lately, everything has just felt so fucking busy. ‘I don‘t fucking know.‘ I replied, ignoring the two nurses who were giggling and staring at us. Why were most women so fucking annoying?

‘Can I say for once Schurke Wolf doesn‘t have the answer?‘ Jax‘s reply came as we stepped out into the dark. 2 I took out a cigarette and lit it, not replying to him and instead taking a long drag.

Did you place the body where I asked?‘ I asked the others through the link. ‘Yeah, treat it as if he‘s alive.‘ Ace‘s voice came. ‘I‘m not going to take risks.‘ I replied frowning deeply, the link open so all seven of us could converse. 1

‘What are you worried about?‘ Jin asked quietly. # , I frowned, my mind wandering back to the drive home, as I stared at the stars in the sky... (FLASHBACK) I slowed down, feeling as if I was missing something as I turned a sharp corner. I didn‘t feel at ease, and it wasn‘t Azura. ‘Shane, Li Sheng, change of plan, do not bring the body inside of the pack... keep him in the underground cells at location 12.‘

Roger.‘ Shane said instantly. ‘Understood...” Li Sheng‘s reply came.

‘Why?‘ Jin asked.

“Just do it. I don‘t want that... thing inside this pack. He isn‘t a werewolf; I know that much. Besides those bullets were made to kill werewolves instantly… he survived after multiple shots. I know he‘s dead but... just keep him the fuck locked until I run his prints and do some tests, then we‘ll dispose of the body.‘

Seeing the way he moved, even after I shot him point blank with a bullet that should have killed, didn‘t go unnoticed... he was still able to move... So what‘s the guarantee that the other bullets worked? 4

I looked over at Azura, who was asleep, her chest rising and falling, and ran my knuckles down her jaw.
