Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

25. A Reply AZURA. "As I presumed... it seems you know far less than you thought about your ex.” Leo murmured, frowning.

His eyes were cold as he stared at the screen.

"I don't get it, how is this even possible, are you sure that file isn’t corrupt or false orsomething?" I asked.

"No, years ago I began to gather all possible data on the werewolves in this country, just for my own knowledge and I remember thisparticular family's story intrigued me." He sat back smoking his cigarette.

"Are you sure it's not wrong, maybe a glitch-" "I have an excellent memory, don’t question my intelligence.” He growled.

“Ok fine, Mr I’m so damn smart.” I muttered.

"Good, at least you're learning to listen." He replied, his voice almost antagonising.

My eyes flashed, and I looked him square in the eye.

"Don't try me, I don't listen unless I want to." Neither of us looked away, a clash of wills, with both of us refusing tobend.

"Maybe that's what got you into this mess to start with, your lack of logic and your rash temper are enough to land you inthis kind of shit." He said icily.

2 I hated how he had a point…

I didn't want to admit it and I wouldn't, but I didn’t like the way he seemed to see right through me.

"These files are from just under a decade ago, I'm curious to see what the current Shadow Wolves database says.” Hepressed some buttons on his keyboard, and I narrowed my eyes.

"Are you hacking into their database?" "Do you want to know or not?” “I do…

but-" "So this is on both of us." "No, it's not.

Why not go to the Shadow Wolves Pack and ask them?” I frowned.

He looked at me with a cold, arrogant expression, "So instead of doing something I can do righthere within a few hours, you expect me to travel to the Shadow Wolves Pack and waste an entire fucking day? "It's called doing things the right way?" Yeah, I was one to talk, especially after everything I had done.

He sat forward, taking a drag on his cigarette, his eyes locked with mine.

"Here's a news flash, Little She-Wolf, I don't follow rules." I hated how my stomach knotted in pleasure at his deep, sexy voice.

Why did I have a thing for bad boys? No, I don’t like Leo.

Nope never.

4 It didn't matter if he had those sexy lips, or those eyes that were sodamn sexy or- 1 Stop Azura! I frowned, trying to rearrange my thoughts when he spoke.

“Do you have any pictures of him?” He asked.

“No.

I deleted what I had when I broke up with him, but he hated pictures so the ones I had were very rare.” I shrugged.

“Great.” He muttered, sounding very sarcastic.

"I need to check if he's chipped you." "How?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

“An X-ray, it’s pretty simple.”

Xray.

My heart began thudding.

Although the radiation couldn't damage my baby due to our healing, it would show up on the X-rayand I did not want Leo to know about this baby.

Not yet Deep down I knew at some point I would have to, because although he didn’t want me, he would be a good father…

"No." I replied, firmly pushing the thoughts away before that sadness came over me once more.

He raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" "He didn't know I was here, so obviously whatever you got in place stops any unwanted -” “It’s one fucking X-ray.
