Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 56

56. The Beginning of a Haze

LEO.

I stood there, looking down at her as she claimed my son as her own. A thousand emotions coursing through me. She didn‘t accept him for me, but because she wanted to.

Fuck why was this so fucking intense?

‘I want to be your Mama too...‘

Her words shook me. No, she didn‘t come running out of that house for me, but for him. Her eyes did not once find me as she wiped those tears from Corrado‘s face.

She was still young, wild and temperamental, but she had a heart of fucking gold, and he was lucky to have her...

She hugged him tightly and, at that moment, I selfishly wished I could enjoy the fucking time I had... but I didn‘t want her to get attached to me unless I could fucking make it. Then again, I think she already was... There was no denying what we felt for one another.

I really needed to find a solution... a solution to living... 13

I stepped away from them, feeling another wave of heat rush through me.

I don‘t know what the fuck was wrong, but I needed to get checked out... I cast one last look at the duo. This right here... was my fucking world. All three of them... 3

Live for them…

But I was not a god, and I didn‘t have the power to restore life. 4

“Jackie, I don‘t really feel great. Mind if you can do a check over?” I asked through the link.

‘Right away.‘ Her voice was full of worry as I cast a final look at Azura and Corrado before I walked away.

‘I‘m on my way.‘ I replied through the link.

Twenty minutes later Jackie looked up from the monitor. “It‘s just, I don‘t really know why you feel like that, there‘s no huge change from the last time, I mean, your organs are failing, but there‘s nothing majorly different...” She mused worriedly.

“I don‘t know, I just feel really hot, and everything seems fucking heightened. Restless, even my wolf seems to have spurts of rage and... hunger?” Explaining this was fucking weird, and last night I had a dream where I was fucking Azura, yeah not the first... But it sure as fuck had me wake up this morning with such a fucking hard on, I had to jerk off to the thought of her in the fucking shower. But I was not going to fucking tell her any of that shit. She frowned slightly.

“That‘s strange...” She looked me over as is trying to find the answer. “Anything that seems to make it worse? Overexerting yourself? Or any certain time of day?” I frowned...

“Not really.”

“I‘ll try to see what I can find. Right now nothing is coming to mind. Your temperature is normal and there doesn‘t seem to be anything unusual.”

“Hmm, maybe it‘s nothing.”

“I doubt it‘s nothing, I‘ll run some further tests on your bloods.” She said, her eyes shadowing as she looked up at me. “You need to ask for help, Leo.”

“Let‘s be serious Jackie, Kiara can‘t regenerate something that is fucking dead. These artificial replacements aren‘t cutting it... I failed.” I said, leaning forward to take a look at the results.

“Leo you did well, but maybe if she could cure the poison that is the cause, at least then–”

“Then what? I keep trying to use some shit that isn‘t working; heck, I‘m not even able to fucking shift without having to replace all that shit.”

“Does Azura know?” She whispered hesitantly.

I looked down at my hands.

“What do I tell her? That I‘m dying?”

“Maybe she can help.” She replied worriedly. “You are going to Alpha Alejandro‘s pack tomorrow. There must be something. They have powerful witches; this damage was done by a witch. Perhaps it‘s a witch who can help? Don‘t give up hope Leo.” I didn‘t want to... I didn‘t want to give up, but was it wrong to try to prepare for the inevitable? “They can do nothing.” 10

I had left the hospital and gone for a light run to clear my mind.

I‘d talk to Kiara but I knew the answer already... I also knew I needed to tell Azura... Especially since Kiara would probably fucking tell her. Then there was the fact that she refused to leave...

I hadn‘t expected her to do that, to agree to Corrado‘s request... Last night, after Nikki was a right–out bitch, I panicked when Azura stormed off. It had proven to me that no matter how much I fucking acted like I could live without her, I wanted her... The intense urge to fucking stop her, and tell her how she‘s the only fucking one I craved, had overcome me But then I back peddled before it got deeper.

Yeah, I know I was fucking hurting her again and again.

Fuck it all.

I frowned as I slowed down, covered with a layer of sweat after an hour of running. My brown hair flopped in front of my forehead as I lit a cigarette.

My mind pondered over the future as I made my way around to the back of the apartment block and leaned against the wall to smoke.

Should I put her down as legal guardian to Corrado after me? At least I know he‘ll be ok...

Last night I commanded Jax to go after Nikki and deal with her since I didn‘t fucking want to see her again. Then I had put my block up so no one could fucking contact me. I couldn‘t deny I felt guilty about how I handled the Alpha title shit last night.

I had ordered Jax to suspend her position on the training regimen. She was to move out of my apartment block, and her personal allowance as a member of this pack would be cut down. Plus she would do one hundred hours of community work at the daycare since I knew she didn’t really like kids. Lastly, she was to apologise to both Azura and Winona. A

“Jax?‘

‘Here.‘

‘Did you handle it?‘ I asked.

‘Yeah, she‘s been moved to the far block, so shouldn‘t be around your apartment any longer. Eric did have a firm word with her too. Alpha Marcel had a word with her this morning too. I let him know of the punishment you decided, and he said to have her do an extra fifty hours of cleaning around the training areas.‘ Jax replied, clearly finding it amusing.

‘Good. Make sure she apologises to Winona in Dad‘s presence.‘ He didn‘t reply, and I frowned.

Jax?‘‘

‘Yeah–yeah I‘m listening, I just… nothing, I‘ll make sure the Alpha is there. What about Azura?

I frowned, wondering what the fuck was his problem.

‘Bring her down before we leave for Alejandro‘s pack tomorrow, I‘ll make sure she does so in front of me.‘ I replied coldly.

I had heard what she had said, and although I didn‘t want to give her the fucking time of day, I wasn‘t going to let it slide. I didn‘t trust her not to play up in front of anyone else. She insulted Azura, and that was something I needed to fucking make sure never happened again.

‘I like you defending our rightful Luna, it suits you.‘ “Yeah, whatever. Did anyone check Emmet‘s office and apartment?‘

‘Yeah, Ace has some stuff that he‘ll go through.‘

‘Keep on it, I need answers.‘ I said, feeling suddenly suffocated as I pulled my top off and tossed it to the ground.

‘Got it.‘

I tossed the cigarette to the ground as I ended the link, feeling the same weird energy that enveloped me yesterday once again. ‘Jin, any update on tracking down the bullets?‘

‘Making progress, Li Sheng is on one right now. I will keep you updated.‘

‘Ok‘

Fuck, what was wrong with me?

I clutched my head, feeling the surge of my woll‘s restlessness inside of me.

Why was it like he wanted to take over? I couldn‘t afford to shift right now...

I slumped against the wall, taking deep breaths, suddenly feeling fucking hungry for sex.

Can‘t fucking blame me. It‘s been far too fucking long. “Leo?” The voice was distant, yet it still seemed to ring in my head.

I could hear the rushing of blood in my veins and my wolf‘s hunger growing.

A she–wolf... A hand touched my arm, fucking burning me, and I let out a menacing growl.

“Leo!”

My blazing eyes snapped open ouly to see Nikki standing there looking concerned.

“Leave.” I growled, feeling something inside snap. My canines elongated and my eyes raked over Nikki, my heart pounding as the urge to fuck consumed me.

Na that shit ain‘t me...

“Leo?” She said seductively, almost as if she knew what was going through my mind.

“Leave.” I growled, feeling myself harden.

I suddenly realised exactly what was happening, something that was fucking rare, but it was definitely pointing in that direction, and it fucking made sense too...

Shit.

Azura. I wanted Azura.

The menacing growl of my wolf filled my head, and my eyes blazed as she grabbed my arm once more.

“Babe...” Her hand on my arm sent shots of pleasure south, and I knew I needed to get away. “Back off.” I thundered, my alpha command rolling through my voice as I shoved her hand off me.

Suddenly, a seductive blossomy scent filled my nose, making my eyes flash. It held hints of Jasmine, Tuberose, Rangoon and something so intoxicating, yet there was only one name I could give it. Azura.

This was the scent I fucking craved….

Azura was nearby.

The image of her under me as I fucked her, flashed through my mind and I sniffed the air.

Find her...

I made to leave, when Nikki blocked my path. 3

“Leo what‘s wrong?” She murmured, running her hands over my shoulder. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

A part of me just wanted to fuck her, and a larger part wanted me to find Azura. “Don‘t touch me...” I growled, trying to move away, but it felt like my body was resisting. “Leo

“Didn‘t he just tell you not to touch him?”

Fuck, that was the voice that I wanted to hear, screaming my name as I fucked her hard.

Suddenly, Nikki was pushed away from me, and I leaned against the wall, my eyes on Azura... Everything from those fucking plump lush lips of hers, to those breasts, was driving me crazy. Her top was loose, but it draped over her breasts so fucking teasingly.

She shouldn‘t be here... because all I fucking wanted to do was rip her clothes off.., and ravage her...

“This is between us, you‘re not his woman.” Nikki retorted. 5

‘No, maybe not, but I‘m his baby mama and as long as I bear his mark with no rejection, I hold way more importance than an ex and unless you want a few more bones broken, I‘d leave if I were you.” Azura growled as she came over, moving me away from Nikki.

The moment her hand touched my arm, I sucked in a breath, a wave of coolness and pleasure rushed through me and I felt myself throb.

Oh fuck.

“Leave Nikki or I swear I will fucking kick you out of this damn pack or worse, toss you in fucking prison.” I growled menacingly. I didn‘t even look at her, my eyes on the sexy doll in front of me. I heard her run off but it only excited me, knowing I had this blue–eyed devil alone... “Leo, what the hell is wrong with you?” Azura‘s voice came, and I looked into those gorgeous eyes.

“I‘d leave if I were you.” I growled huskily.

PS

I still grabbed a hold of her hand despite my words, raising it to my lips. Fuck I wanted her. I pressed my lips against her hand, inhaling her scent slowly. “Leo...” Her eyes widened, and I yanked her close, pressing her up against the wall. “No, what‘s up with you? You‘re acting weird.” She whispered breathlessly.

Oh yeah, keep talking in that tone...

Her words made me smirk slightly.

“Baby Mama huh? I prefer the term, ‘Sexy Mama.” I murmured, my gaze dipping to her lips as I locked my arms around her waist. Those lips weren‘t only fucking gorgeous but felt so damn good, and when they were wrapped around my cock...

I throbbed as white–hot pleasure spread through me.

“Leo, you‘re acting damn weird. Wait, did she drug you?” She sounded aghast, but all I wanted was to taste her... “Leo!” She dug her nails into my shoulders, making my eyes flash in approval.

“No, but if I were you, I‘d leave because what I feel right now won‘t end well if you stay... I‘m in haze, Azura. I‘m sure you know what the fuck I‘m talking about.”

“Haze?” She seemed to be thinking hard, and when her eyes widened with realisation, she

stared at my mark, her heart thundering, “I marked you... and we didn‘t...”

I wrapped my hand around her neck, squeezing slightly, as I crushed her body between the wall and my body, so she could feel exactly how hard I was.

“Oh fuck.” She moaned, her grip on my arm tightening.

“Exactly, so unless you want me to pin you against this very fucking wall, and fuck you like a whore, I‘d leave.” I warned huskily. Her eyes flashed, her cheeks took on a faint pink hue, and the scent of her arousal filled my nose.

Fuck.

Everything was fucking heightened. It was too much; from the way her body felt against mine, the way she was touching my shoulders... I could feel her hardened nipples through her shirt and bra, grazing against my chest. I wanted her... so fucking much.

“What are you going to do...” She swallowed, and I let my walls down, allowing her to see exactly what I fucking wanted to do to her. Her cheeks darkened, and she bit her lip as she looked at me with eyes that were full of obvious lust. Her heaving chest only drove me crazier. “Unless you run, Little She– Wolf, I will devour you.” I growled, letting go of her neck and slipping my hands under her top, stroking her smooth skin. Sparks erupted through me, and she tensed, sighing softly at my touch. Her body reacting by the skin to skin contact.

“I think you forgot; I‘m not afraid of the big bad wolf.” She replied seductively as I wrapped a hand around her neck, pinning her against the wall once more. We weren‘t together... I couldn‘t let her get attached... Through the lust and haze, I saw her frown slightly, and I struggled to raise my walls once again. “You‘re a little too late to think about that...” She replied, as I leaned closer, my nose brushing against hers. “Unless you want to spend the next few days like this, I suggest you give in... no strings attached?“.

We were already tied in every fucking way. Deep down, I knew that if I did this it was going to make things a shit load worse... but... I wanted to taste her, even if it was for the last time,

Would she pull away? Would she back out just like she had last time?

I should talk to her... but...

Damn, I knew that if I did, it was going to be fucking hard to pretend it was just one fucking night...

Who cares, right?

I‘ll fuck that pussy until she‘s left dripping cum for fucking days,

The questions and thoughts that swirled in my mind were suddenly pushed to the back, overridden by the lust and hunger I felt for her.

There was only one way to find out what the outcome of this would be… and that was to stop thinking and enjoy the fuck out of her.

We‘ll ask the questions later...

I ran my tongue over her lips slowly, making her sigh in pleasure, her body arching as she pressed herself against me.

She tasted tantalising... I throbbed hard against her. And just when I thought was feeling a little more in control, suddenly a surge of intense heat rushed through me, making my skin burn and I groaned. Her tongue flicked out, running along her lips before I caressed it with my own, making her whimper in pleasure.

‘You just lost your chance to leave.‘ I growled through the link.

‘I already gave that chance up.‘ She moaned back, as our tongues played with the other sensually

All self–control I had fucking snapped and my lips came crashing down against hers in one fucking hot kiss that sent explosive fireworks through me... Fuck it all, I‘m taking her.
