Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

96. Owning up to the Truth

AZURA.

Leo exhales, and I know he isn’t happy

that I told Liam, but I am not going to keep hiding it. They need to know the

truth, and I will tell them today. I move away from Leo and hug Liam, who is still trying to get his head wrapped around

what I just said.

He looks down at me, frowning deeply. ”

Your ex?”

I don’t blame him for being confused. I

never really told anyone about Judah…

“How about we head inside, and we talk?

I need to tell Mama and Dad too…

Alejandro and Kiara will be here shortly as well…” I say turning to look at Leo, I had felt the sharp pain rip through me and knew something had happened and

so I had ran to check on them. “I don’t

want two of the men that I love the most fighting… Please.”

Liam sighs softly, hugging me tightly and kisses my forehead, before he rests his chin on top of my head for a few moments. I know why he’s hurting, he’s always spoiled me, always treated me well no matter what I did. That night,

when he found me, I saw the pain he was in, seeing me in that state. I get that… but I am also old enough to make my

decisions.

I look up at him and he slowly lets go of me. I step back and smile slightly, despite how I’m feeling inside.

‘You ok?’ Leo asks through the link, his hand wraps around my upper arm before he draws me into his embrace.

‘Yeah.’ I whisper although I’m not.

I knew this was going to happen, but

seeing it… it hurt. I hate those whom I

love being at each other’s throats… I close

my eyes, inhaling his scent, seductive

and masculine mixed with the smell of

smoke. This is my home now; I have finally found where I belong.

I hear Liam walk off and pull away. Leo

head back too, his arm safely around me. I glance up at him as he smokes his cigarette, his face cold and emotionless.

‘What’s wrong?’ I ask, that’s an

expression I haven’t seen on his face for a

while.

‘You sure about this, Baby Girl? I can still

cover that shit up.’

‘No. This time I’m going to own up to my mistakes. There are a few things I

actually need to tackle before I take that

title of Luna.’

‘Luna… My Luna.’ He murmurs. Our eyes meet before he yanks me close, gripping

the side of my face and kissing me like there is no tomorrow. ‘Fuck, I love you.’

I smile against his lips, ‘I love you too.’

An hour later, the mansion is a full

house, and it feels like it is my wedding day, well the Alpha and Luna ceremony is

like a wedding. I suddenly feel so

nervous, and seeing all our families here

really makes me happy, but it’s more

daunting.
