Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

105. Plans

LEO.

Two weeks had passed since our ceremony, and life was fucking better than good. With her officially mine in every fucking way, it felt perfect. I had shifted again, the first time in years and it didn’t almost kill me. I wanted to see

her in her wolf form too, but until she had the pup, we couldn’t do that.

We had taken the following day to simply relax and get some sleep since we didn’t fucking sleep that first night until early

morning. It was going to be one fucking

night to remember with the promise that

I’d get a dance every year on my birthday,

and I plan to hold her to it.

The guests had left the following evening, with them all promising to return soon. I

guess that meant they have open access

to this pack now.

I had wanted to ask Dante if he knew

anything about what happened with Azura’s wing-like aura, but I didn’t want to pressurise him into fucking thinking I just wanted answers. I didn’t need to be fucking Einstein to know that he wanted

to be treated like normal, and not to be expected to know everything. I’ll figure that shit out myself, somehow. But one thing is clear, until I had answers, I didn’t want her to use her powers again. 5

We had decided on a few things over the last fortnight, living arrangements for

one. We would move to the Villa. After

that night we both felt like it is the perfect

place for us. We had asked Dad to move in

with us when we did get the house sorted. Azura was already picking out colour palettes for the nursery and Corrado’s

room. I planned to make the entire lower

floor into a pad for myself, with some

extra features for the both of us.

I wanted to have some underground work done, so the access from the new place

linked to my cave.

Then there was the issue with Kareena.

Jax and I were going to have a discussion with her, and put forward Jax’s

suggestion. I just hope she listens. She no longer tries to kill herself, but she’s quiet, simply sitting there lost in thought. Becoming just a shell of who she was.

We were now at the hospital, where Azura is having a scan. The baby is growing well and is measuring quite big. It’s healthy and growing without any issues.

“You don’t want to know the gender?” The sonographer asks, smiling at us. Corrado is with us, staring at the image

on the screen, his mouth open as if in shock. We thought it was high time he saw his baby sibling, too. 1

“No, we don’t.” Azura replies, looking at

me, and I nod.

“Yeah, let’s have some things left a surprise. It’ll be cool.” I reply, caressing

Azura’s cheek. I glance back at the screen

as Azura asks Corrado what he thinks.

“Can you see the baby’s head, my

cherub?” She asks.

“Oh yes, the baby is so cute, Mommy.” He

replies in awe.

I raise an eyebrow, looking at the image. Well, it was incredible… but cute? 1

I smirk ruffling his hair. This kid is something else, and I know no matter what, he will take care of his baby sibling.

‘It’s crazy how our family is growing.’ I

say through the link as the sonographer wipes her stomach clean, removing all the gel and I help her to her feet. She

locks her arms around my neck and

kisses me.

‘It really is.’ She says.

I kiss her back before she moves away and takes hold of Corrado’s hand as we leave the hospital together.

“You know, Winona’s so quiet lately. I think there’s something on her mind.
