Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

20. Restlessness AZURA "We shouldn't have done that." I said quietly. He shouldn’t have done that. "Yeah, but don't go fucking taking it the wrong way, it was to shut you up." He said, his voice sounding thicker as he looked away.

It had gotten to him too…

This was it, the moment to reject him.

I looked up at him, trying to force myself to say the words.

“I…”

Do it, Azura.

Leo frowned as he searched my face for something.

Reject him.

Fuck, why was it so hard?

It fucking hurt.

How had he had the strength to do so? And after marking me too.

He raised an eyebrow, waiting, but I couldn't do it.

His scent was overpowering me.

I was looking for an excuse…

asking myself what I should do…

When I thought of what I wanted in a mate, I always imagined someone who found me funny,someone who would be ok with me being crazy.

The type to laugh at the shit I got up to.

Not everyone found their fated mate, and not everyone had it easy.

But was rejection the answer, without even fighting for him? 1 Was I just going to walk away? Nikki, remember Nikki.

1 "I..." "Yeah, I got the you part, what's next?" He asked me in a husky voice.

"What's wrong? Are you so distracted you can't even string two fucking words together?” I frowned, splaying my hands on his hardchest and shoving him back.

The tingles of the bond rippled through us, and I thought I heard his heart race.

"There's nothing about you that distracts me, I just was thinking about something.” I scoffed.

"Oh?" "Weren't you short on time? Let's go." He frowned, as if suddenly remembering, and he turned away, taking out some keys from his pocket.

"Yeah, let's go." He pressed a button on his keys and a sleek, matt black Mercedes Benz SUV lights flashed.

Damn, that was one sexy car…

"Wait, what do you mean let's go? Aren't you just showing me out? Or are you driving me to the pack border?” “I’m dropping youto wherever the fuck you want to go." 1 My heart skipped a beat.
