Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 8. Teasing

MARCEL.

He had a point… But regardless of that, I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

“Well, it doesn’t matter where she’s from, we all know what we need to know,

she’s from my pack.” I say looking down at the beautiful woman beside me. 1

Alejandro nods

“Fair enough.” He says, but I don’t miss the final calculating look in his eyes.

Leo looks at him. “How’s the council dealing with their current issues?” He

questions, drawing Alejandro’s attention away. 2

Enter title…

I frown, seeing the flicker of concern in Alejandro’s eyes. “No progress as of yet.

We’re handling this s*it.”

“I miss Rayhan being home.” Delsanra murmurs, looking at Rayhan. 1

I can’t fault her. Every time something occurred, he was the one leading the

hunt. He had been out when the Judah issue had occurred, and now again. 2

“I f*cking take the blame for that.”

Alejandro says.

“No, I’m sorry.” She shakes her head as Rayhan wraps his arms around her

tightly, kissing her forehead.

“No, you’re not wrong, it’s unfair. I do always rely on him.” Alejandro admits,

sighing.

“It is the duty of an Alpha to do what they must. It can be quiet though,

especially with Ahren at school, and Sienna will be gone this new school year.”

Maria adds.

Winona looks sympathetic as she listens quietly.

“Let Rayhan take a few weeks off. I’ll cover him.” Liam says seriously, sitting

back in his seat. Raven smiles over at

Delsanra, who looks at them gratefully.

“You have your family too, Liam,” Rayhan says, frowning slightly.

“I do, but Raven will have company still, besides I could use the break from her.”

Liam counters teasingly, making Raven frown at him. He cups her face and

kisses her forehead.

Raven will have a lot more company than Maria and Delsanra would. The Rossi

mansion is vast, but there is a loneliness in those walls. Even with the laughter

of children and the love of those residing there, it isn’t enough.

“Sounds like a good plan.” Elijah agrees. and Alejandro nods, frowning.

Recently there have been some strange occurrences that are growing in

number over the months and there’s not much

Alejandro could do but call in those ideal for this job. 1

“The two families have a beautiful bond.’

Winona says through the mind link, watching as Rayhan thanks Liam and both

men lean over, and fist bump one another.

‘We actually do, before they were even tied by the union of Kiara and Alejandro,

Rafael and Elijah were good friends, just as their sons are now.’ I reply, as she
