Alpha Leo And The Heart Of Fire Chapter 123

123. Sibling Love

AZURA.

The week passed by in a blur, the struggle between feeding, trying to sleep and visitors has been intense. Although everyone helped, she constantly wants milk and I’m the only

one who can give her that.

Liam, Kiara, and their families had come

down too, Raihana and Rayhan and their families also visited. It was a pleasant time, albeit tiring. It was still very lively. Then there were all the pack members wanting to see the Alpha’s child. It was sweet to see the love and excitement they had at her birth.

At times I would sneak in naps, but it’s

never enough when you have a little pup to take care of. Mama stayed on for a week and she’s still here, and Winona is really helpful too, although she and Marcel still avoid each other. I even notice Mama observing them, but she not once says anything. Back to this

little hungry monster. I’m expressing a lot more now so I can sleep whilst someone else

can feed Phoenix. 2

“Mommy, I think Phoenix is hungry.”

Corrado whispers as he peers into the Moses basket where she is sucking on her hand,

fast asleep.

I smile and pull him onto my lap. “Trust me, she’s not,” I say, kissing his cheek. “She’s drunk a lot, but she’s just a Little Greedy

Goblin.”

He giggles. “Not a Greedy Goblin Mommy. She is a princess who needs to drink lots of milk, so she gets big quickly, so I can play with her.” He states protectively. 6

“She will be big before you know it.” I say, hugging him tightly, remembering his reaction when he walked into the hospital

room… 6

(FLASHBACK)

The sun is shining through the window of

the hospital room. Phoenix is fast asleep in

the cot and I realise Leo isn’t here. He did

say he was going to go home to shower and

bring Corrado back with him.

I sit up, feeling much better, and look at the time. Just past 8am…. I stretch, deciding to

take the chance to have a shower.

After taking a shower I return to the room. when Phoenix begins stirring and so I decide to feed her before she starts screaming.

It’s incredible how much love you can have for a child. It’s a strength in itself… I caress her cheek, smiling down at her. Mama had bathed her last night; she had looked in awe

at Phoenix as she carried her. It will be a

special connection that they have between

them.

I finish feeding and burping her, before changing her nappy. I’m just buttoning up her onesie as she sucks on her hands, staring at me when the hospital door slides open and Leo is standing there holding

Corrado’s hand. He’s clutching a cluster of

helium balloons and a teddy. His little heart

beats loudly as he stares with wide eyes at

the bed, it takes him a moment to look from

me to the moving bundle on the bed and his lips turn downwards. 1

“Mommy…” He says as Leo brings him over

to the bed.

My own smile fades, replaced by the concern at the tears in his eyes that he’s desperately fighting.

“Oh my Cherub, what’s wrong?” I ask, reaching down for him.

‘He was incredibly happy on our way here.’

Leo says.

I lift him onto the bed beside me and he

clings to me tightly, but he doesn’t reply as he stares at Phoenix. Leo takes the teddy bear and balloons from him, placing them
