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?

He wasn‘t a bad person... he wasn‘t...

“Baby...”

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 trafficking. My men are made to hold the values of the organisation. There are crimes that are forbidden, and anyone breaking the code of conduct by

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. To make sure that all the orplans and children of our pack had the financial support to continue in life. Slowly the organisation began growing, and my claim and position soon gave me power over other gangs in the area. It gave me a thrill, a purpose...

Slowly, I turned in his arms and looked up at him. “I’m no angel Leo... I don‘t even have an issue with you being a cartel boss... “It‘s kinda sexy; yes, I‘m weird, and I love
