Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

75. This Darkness Within Me AZURA !

Cartel? All traces of sleep vanished as I stared at the man before me. A man who for a second, I was unable to recognise.

How could Leo be part of a cartel, and I had no idea about it?

He was watching me emotionlessly, but I knew he was analysing my reaction.

How do you react to that?

I looked away, feeling a sudden pressure in my head.

A Cartel.

“So... When you say a Cartel? Do you mean like a secret Mafia boss?” I asked, my voice sounding hoarser than I planned.

“There is a difference between a Cartel and a Mafia boss... but yeah, they are similar enough.”

“So...” I ran my hand through my hair, trying to organise my thoughts.

Gangs.

Just like him...

“You know Judah had a gang...” I said, feeling my emotions all over the place. Although his was just totally different, and they terrorised people. “A gang is different from an organisation, but do you remember anything about it, or what they called themselves? Any information could help us.” Ile asked sharply.

My eyes flashed as I looked at him. “We are discussing you, but no, I don‘t, I just know he had a gang of idiots on bikes with him all the time. Let‘s not change the topic.” I reininded him, frowning deeply. “Alright... what do you want to know?”

Our eyes met and I felt my lieart squeeze. What did I want to know?

It‘s a growing criminal organisation birthed in the United Kingdom, not even that old, yet it has grown at a terrifying rate! One that is responsible for the largest quantity of drugs being brought into the country, and you just miraculously forgot to tell me?” “There are far worse criines than drugs, if it‘s not me bringing them in, then someone else would.” He replied quietly. 11 I knew that, but that doesn‘t mean it excused

irritates me!” I snapped as I felt his weight shift on the bed, and his arins wrapped around me, pulling me back against his chest. The warinth of his body was pleasant. Sparks danced through me, and I bit my lip to not react as the feeling of his firm, sexy body pressed completely against me, igniting a fire that only he could. “Fine, I won‘t call you that, for now. Look, the last few weeks have been fucking crazy, there wasn‘t time for us to go over everything...” His voice was calm as his lips met my neck, that rippling soothing effect working like damn magic. “I know... it‘s a crime, but I assure you we have limits, there‘s no human or organ

to say anyway. He sucked on my neck and I felt him throb against me, making my eyes lutter shut as my breathing became heavier. “Don‘t you dare try to use the mate bond to calm me down.” I growled. “I‘m not. I just need you to hear me out.” Why was his voice so soothing and calm? “Hurry up.” I growled. Another tantalising kiss was placed on my neck before he continued. “I created the cartel to make sure that we had the money to protect ourselves is the need arose.
