Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

110. Judah

AZURA.

It was a blur; he had moved us at lightning speed and I could barely see anything on our way here. The moment we were brought into this cave I had been able to summon my power a little, but it isn’t enough, and before I can do anything he grabs Corrado and shoves him away from me.

“Stop it!” I shout, pushing him violently as I try to run to Corrado who is sobbing, I can see he’s bruised his forehead.

“I’m not done with you, I should have shown you who was boss back that night when you refused to kill that pup.” He

hisses, grabbing me by the collar, and tearing my top off. My stomach twists and

that night returns to me.

He had tried to rape me… in front of his so- called gang; he had tried to come onto me,

but he hadn’t stopped… until the sound of sirens approaching had made them all clear

out. I had gotten away from the worst that

night…

I can see it in his eyes. He wants to do the

same now. Only this time I’m weakened and I’m pregnant.

“Judah… don’t.” I warn, my entire body was burning with hatred.

I have never hated someone as much as I did

Judah.

“I’m in charge here!” He slams me onto the floor, straddling me, and I struggle against him as he slashes into my shoulder.

No… no!

The first thing that I think of is how dark it is in here. I’m glad Corrado can’t see what’s

going on.

But… I will not let him do this. I’m stronger now, I’m no longer scared of him. I fight

back, as we roll around on the floor. He may be strong but I’m not fucking weak, and I can tell my power and strength surprises

him.

He roars and swipes me across the head, my head spins and I’m knocked against the wall, my vision darkens for a second but when he launches himself at me, I raise my leg, kicking him between the legs and I feel my power surge forward.

Soon… soon I’ll have it back.

He keeps punching me, but my only aim is to protect my stomach and I take them, wincing when he begins to target my face. I can see the satisfaction in his eyes with every blow and I spit at him.

“Bastard!”

He snarls, baring his teeth at me as he digs. his hands into my shoulder and waist. I hiss at the searing pain, but I refuse to give in as he tries to dig deeper into my shoulder,

almost as if he wants to rip my arm off.

“Get off me!” I growl, my aura beginning to return. I see the worry and surprise in his eyes. Sure, he had brought us here super fast, and the cave entrance had slammed shut instantly behind us, but I don’t think he realised how fast my abilities would return.
