Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 2

2. Kingdom of Sin

AZURA.

The red and purple lights danced and flashed around me, highlighting the bodies of the exotic dancers on the stage. Strippers in expensive lingerie and perfume walked around serving drinks or looking for potential customers.

The dark teal booths were half-full, some with just men and women enjoying the show, whilst others enjoyed a lap dance. A few men in suits were being escorted away by dancers to the private rooms.

Kingdom of Sin was a human strip club in the heart of one of the busiest cities in the country, a place quite far away from my home and the chance of running into someone I knew was unlikely.

Not to mention I had used an X2 scent disguiser, a formula which would make me smell like a human to other werewolves.

I didn’t want Judah finding me here.

The fact he may have been in my town made my stomach twist, although I kept telling myself he had just guessed what I was wearing.

I needed a break from my mind and those messages, the entire day I had been unable to focus on anything. To make matters worse, tonight was the Blood Moon.

An occurrence that only happened twice a year. A night where unmated wolves would head to one of the Blood Moon Gatherings to see if they could scout out their fated mates.

I didn’t want to go, I’m done with men, and I don’t want to be tied down to anyone.

After going through a relationship that was a complete failure, I had no expectations of finding my true mate, nor do I think I was mentally up for it.

Even though I did want to find my mate, and deep down I wanted that love that I see those around me have, I wasn’t sure he would want me.

I didn’t need my heart breaking again. Although I wouldn’t admit it, I was a little afraid of what he would think of me, how he would hate me when he learned about my past. About the skeletons in my closet. Will my mate accept everything about me? Or would he simply despise me, or worse, reject me.

The tasteful music relaxed me a lot, I was tapping my foot to the beat as I sat in a booth, staring at the sexy woman dancing on the stage. Her body swayed sensually to the beat.

I downed my glass of whisky, wishing there was something stronger here. The liquid burned my throat, my eyes stinging a little as my mind returned to the messages.

The strict no phone policy was enforced in this club and if I had my phone with me, I knew I would be staring at it constantly thinking about the messages.

I needed a break from it – from him.
