Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

21. Flames of Destruction AZURA. Shit. No. Do I tell Leo? I was trying to calm my racing heart, what do I do? The firstthing that came to my mind was to ask him to stop at the service station and get away from him, but I had to think about my baby.

Doing that would not only risk me, but the baby too.

"Who was the message from?" Leo's voice snapped me from my thoughts, making my breath hitch at his question.

He was watching me intensely.

His piercing eyes seemed to be peering into my soul.

"One of my girls." I found myself lying, as I gazed out of the side mirror trying to see behindus.

Only the glaring headlights of a car could be seen.

3 Was that him? Was he close? Would he try something? I was putting Leo at risk as well ifI didn't tell him.

What should I do? 2 "Oh yeah? Stop lying Azura.

Are you going to keep hiding it from me?" "I'm not hiding anything…” I was struggling.

Why should I tell him? 1 I know why I didn’t want to…

because I wasn't ready for him to tell me he didn’t care…

But maybe the mate bond would make him feel something? Yet I still wasn’t convinced …

“My patience is fucking wearing thin.

Tell me the truth, because for the last fifteen minutes we’ve been followed, and I fucking assure you, it’s not one of my enemies.” 2 Followed.

"Have we?" I asked, my heart thudding as I did my all not to press my hand againstmy stomach protectively.

"You've been too distracted to even notice, but I've taken several detours, yet that black McLaren has continued to fucking follow.

So, either you tell me the fucking truth now, or I will fucking stop this car and deal with this shit my way, no questionsasked." He almost growled, his eyes flashing a steely blue.

“No.” I said, grabbing hold of his arm.

Judah had weapons that killed instantly…

if he used something on Leo…

Just the thought of him getting hurt terrified me.

Although he pissed me off, I couldn't let anyone get hurt because of me, and especially whenhe had Corrado waiting for him at home.

“Then start talking.” He threatened icily.

Our eyes met, before I looked away, not wanting to appear as vulnerable as I felt, and ranmy other hand through my hair trying to word a sentence.

"It was from my ex." I began hesitantly, daring not to look at him, but I felt hisaura fill the car.

“He-“.

"Is he the one who was there the day I found you?” He cut in, his voicewas menacing, although I could tell he was trying to control his anger.

My stomach twisted.

Fuck, why was he so pissed? "Yeah." I murmured, now daring to look at Leo, realising I was still holding his arm.

I was about to remove it, but the look in his eyes told me pissed was an understatement.
