Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Thrill

LEO.

“Stay here.” I commanded Azura, taking hold of her arms and pressing her up against a pillar “I’ve got your back.” Jax nodded, turning his back to Azura as he stood guard.

Things had turned into a fucking mess.

I ran out from behind the pillar, reloading my gun as I shot two men dead, ducking behind a table before reaching Ace. Jin was by my side within seconds as we both pulled Ace up. He was bleeding profusely. “Get him out of here, now!” I commanded, dragging him behind the pillar along with Jin. “I’ll cover you.”

Jin nodded, shouldering Ace. He was still alive… which meant it wasn’t the bullets that

I turned, seeing one of my men fall to the ground, instantly dead.

My head snapped up, seeing the men in balaclavas and leather who were shooting wildly.” They’re here.”

Unease settled into me as I saw Azura pale. She didn’t need to say it aloud, nor did I need to hear her thoughts to know these were Judah’s men.

I glanced at Azura. ‘Use the ring!‘

She nodded, sliding it off her finger. She twisted the top and tossed it out into the midst of the room. Heavy smoke filled the room, blanketing us, and for a few moments, the sound of gunshots lessened. ‘Now!‘ I shouted through the link to Jin as he nodded, running for the exit.

‘Web’s getting away! Shall I go after him?‘ Jax asked through the link. I could sense the irritation in his voice.

I saw Li Sheng try to target Web, but he missed, cursing in frustration as a few of the hooded men opened fire.

“Don’t risk it, they have the bullets! Clear out.” I growled, pressing my microphone on my collar. “I want everyone to clear the fuck out! Now.

“I’m taking Azura.” I added. If Judah was listening in and was the one who had initiated the attack, it meant he was here, but there wasn’t any way to find him right now. Plus the chaos would only make it riskier.

“We got what we needed from Web, as for the unfinished business between us… his time is fucking near.”

I took hold of Azura’s wrist, sparks rushing through me before I ran out from behind the pillar. The sound of gunshots and shouts followed us as the smoke began easing up a little.

‘I’m out.‘ Jin’s breathless voice came.

‘Perfect. Jax, Li Sheng, get our men out and leave.‘ It might be fucking hypocritical of me, but I needed Jin and Ace gone first… they both had mates waiting for them at home… I didn’t want to see either of them in Kareena’s place.

We ran fast, ducking and dodging, pushing through the chaos, stopping when someone tried to fire at us. Another dangerous shot came close, and I stopped, hiding behind another pillar and pulled her against me. I watched someone empty their gun at the wall ahead of us, a wall where we would have been if I didn’t pull us back. She locked her arm around my neck as another bullet narrowly missed us and hit the pillar instead.

“Fucking assholes. This is why I wanted you home.” I said to Azura arrogantly, as the man came running over towards us.

She rolled her eyes, shooting the attacker in the leg the moment he came into view. Far too fast for him to even react. He let out a howl of pain and another shot from me finished him off.

“Don’t underestimate me. I swear I don’t mind pulling the trigger as often as I need to.” She growled. “Besides, I can take care of myself. Remember my shield trick in there?” She added with a raised eyebrow.

Had to admit that shit did save us.

“Yeah, quick thinking on your part.” I murmured, kissing her neck. “Or should I say, acting on reflex, because you sure as fuck didn’t know you could do that shit.”

She frowned, pouting slightly, and I knew I was fucking right.

“Dick.” She muttered. “Don’t test me, Baby.“
