Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

24. A Strange Result AZURA.

I didn‘t want to be back here, it was hard being here and feeling this pain. I still didn‘t know how to feel about him wanting to help, sure it felt great having someone as smart, powerful, and ruthless as Leo on my side, but I also knew that Judah was twisted, dark, and manipulative. Would Leo be able to fix this?

It was a game of risk.

I stayed in the shower for a while, before I wrapped a towel around myself, then dried my hair with a second towel. I walked into the bedroom, spotting the tray of food on the bed.

My stomach rumbled and I couldn‘t wait to dig in.

Goddess, I was starved.

I pulled on my panties and walked over to the wardrobe, taking out a white shirt. I looked at it before putting it on.

I sighed heavily as I plopped onto the bed, reminiscing on the moment he had held my hair back when I vomited. 1

And he should, this was his kid too! 1

But he didn‘t know I was pregnant... 2

Well it seems he had some humanity in him.

This baby... I was beginning to realise I may not be able to keep it from him... If he wanted to see his child, could I really be a bitch and refuse him? I picked up the tray, placing it on the bed and began eating

Since I was going to be staying here, I needed to get Dante‘s necklace somehow. Without Leo realising why, and I think it was time I told Mama and them who my mate was, and the fact I was here at the Sangue Pack.

I played with the pasta. Despite how hungry I was, I suddenly wasn‘t really in the mood to eat. I noticed the bag on the bed and pulled it closer, emptying its contents.

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a body sponge, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a pack of tampons, a hairbrush, and moisturiser. Wow, seems like he can be a little considerate, shame for him I used his toothbrush and products already. I shrugged as I picked up the box of tampons and tossed them in the air. I smacked it, letting it fly across the room, it hit the wall and drop to the floor. Now that was something I didn‘t need, thanks to the dumb Rossi and his sperm. 3 I began eating again, my gaze flitting to the tablet, musing over my options. I could contact Dante via email. Yeah, I know, old–school, but at least he‘ll get it and hopefully check it soon... Kat even gave me his number, but oh well. I picked up the tablet and switched it on, the screen went blank for a second before it turned on. 1

Logging into my email, I found Dante‘s address and began typing a message.

‘Hey nephew!

Hope you are enjoying your time in Italy. Eat my share of pizza and pasta and send me pictures,

So, the reason I am messaging you, and I really hope you see this message... I need to borrow a certain amulet of yours, you can probably guess what I‘m talking about and why… I know you wear it... But is there a chance I can borrow it for a bit? 5

Please? I‘ll stop nagging you about calling me aunty?

And don‘t ignore me, I am very sorry for putting the scorpion down your swimming trunks a few years ago, and for adding super glue to your hair last year, I swear I was just jealous. You know I have to hold the title of the best hair, right? I mean, aside from Rayhan. 5

since I apologised, can I borrow it?‘ 1 Lots and lots of love your simple, poor, innocent, misguided aunty – Sorry, I mean Azura, not

It was now past one in the afternoon, when a knock on the door made me look up, and Leo opened it before I even said enter. “You should knock and wait.” I remarked. Our eyes met, but he was as emotionless as ever. Something had changed though, I wasn‘t sure, but since the last time we had talked, there was something off about him.
