Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

103. The Heart of Fire

LEO.

The sound and chatter from the Pack Hall

soon fade away as Azura and I walk down the silent paths. It’s late and most

families with children left earlier, but many were still there. The Five are right

behind us, but they keep their distance, letting Azura and I have some space. I

run my hand down her waist and ass before threading her fingers with mine,

and I kiss her hand softly.

She looks stunning as she gazes at the sky. “You’re calm.” I say quietly,

observing the Goddess next to me.

She looks away from the moon and smiles at me. “I was just thinking about two

moons ago… It’s crazy how much life has changed in the last two months.” She

murmurs, leaning her head against my shoulder.

“Yeah… I never saw any of this coming. I’m fucking blessed.” I murmur.

‘Oh baby, you’re definitely blessed.’ She smirks, giving me a wink. I lean down,

kissing her.

‘Obviously.’ I respond arrogantly. She pull’s me down, kissing me harder and we

share a quick moment before my watch beeps. A reminder that we have only

five minutes until the peak of the moon.

“Let’s get this over with.” Azura murmurs, taking a deep breath.

“No pressure. What did Dante say?” I ask as we reach the park. I don’t know

why exactly I chose this location, but it was open, empty, and currently isolated.

“Not much, he’s confident that I can manage this and you will be ok.” She

replies as I glance back at the Five.

“Good luck, guys.” Ace says seriously, and I nod before we walk away.

“Did he say anything more? I mean Kiara lacks night vision in return for her

gift… what are you lacking? Aside from the lack of capability at keeping your

walls up?” I mock, making her glare at me with those gorgeous eyes of hers. 3

“You do not want to piss me off right before I heal you, because the moment I

heal you, I’ll get to work on making another voodoo doll of you.” She frowns.

I smirk as we come to a stop. Her aura is actually faintly visible. I’m not sure if

it’s because it is under the full moon, but it’s there, a soft shimmering hue

around her.

“I’m serious though. Did he not say?”

She shakes her head just as my phone beeps again. According to what we had

worked out, she has about six minutes…

“Ok… let’s do this.” She whispers.

“You’ve got this.” I say quietly, as I cup her cheeks and kiss her deeply. Her

heart is racing now, and she’s frowning in concentration when I move back.

To think that just two months ago I was preparing for my death… Ready to

had accepted me and here we are. 1

I can sense her anxiety and determination through the bond as she closes her

eyes, she takes a deep breath and holds her hands out to me. I take them

slowly, giving them a squeeze.

I watch her, my heart racing as I see the glow begin to swirl around her, the gold

and silver wrapping around her, before her eyes fly open, blazing silver. The
