Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 42

42. Passion & Confusion

AZURA.

The moment he bit down on my neck, I was gone, lost in the unimaginable pleasure that only he could give me. I turned my head, giving him better access to the crook of my neck. A low growl of approval left him, and I shivered in delight when his tongue ran along my neck once more.

Oh fuck...

He sucked on my neck, hard, making my entire body explode with need and pleasure. I turned in his arms only for his hand to run over my stomach, the other hand brushing my hair back as he continued to pepper my neck with rough, sensual kisses.

His dick was hard in his pants, pressing against me. Damn, I wanted our clothes gone.

Goddess... I wished I could stay in his arms forever… I felt protected.

I leaned into him, relishing in his touch. Every touch, every caress... from the brush of his hair against my cheek, or the way his heart was beating in his chest against my back, or the way his lips felt against my shoulder...

It was perfection.

I don‘t know what we were, or if this was really happening, but I was going to enjoy every moment of it.

I didn‘t care about the deal we had made, or how daunting it would be to live up to it when the time came. Because at this moment, one more night with Leo sounded euphoric.

Fuck I wanted this.

This fire, this passion, this heat... His hand slipped under my top and I pulled away slightly, gripping his wrist as he squeezed my boob, making me whimper.

Fuck yes…

I tilted my head up to him, our eyes met, and his other hand wrapped around my neck. He leaned in to kiss me, but I turned my head away, gasping as he twisted my nipple. His lips grazed the corner of my lips, making my breath hitch. I sighed, pressing myself back against him. “Fuck you‘re a tease.” His whispered growl came. I elbowed him lightly. “Oh am I?”

Twisting in his arms, I turned and tried to pin him against the window, only for him to look down at me arrogantly, a smirk on that sexy face of his. “Getting a little overconfident, aren‘t you?”

He pulled me closer by the wrist, burying his head in my neck. My heart pounded violently when he sucked hard. “Not in a rush, are you?” I countered breathlessly as I pulled away.

“Only as much as you are... your arousal smells fucking good.” He murmured, his hand tightening around my neck as he ran his tongue over his lips.

I stuck my tongue out, leaning closer. His eyes blazed as he caressed it with his own pierced tongue. 2 Oh fuck, this felt good.

I wanted that tongue on every inch of my body... ‘It fucking will be... I‘m not resting tonight until I‘ve fucked and tasted every inch of this sexy body of yours. All you have got to do is be a good girl and spread those legs for me.‘ Oh yeah… The heat between us as our eyes locked, our tongues sensually grazing against each others, was out of this world.

Oh, Goddess...

There was just something incredibly sexy about this, the storm of his emotions as he fought to control himself... The way he was moving slow, as if wanting to savour the way I tasted and the carnal hunger in those eyes... ‘Fuck...‘ He growled through the link.

Another jolt of pleasure rushed to my core just as his hand let go of my neck and instead twisted into my hair, yanking me closer as he sucked on my tongue, his lips meeting mine in a rough, intoxicating kiss.

Sparks flew and the only thing I could think of was the way his lips felt against mine…

My panties were probably soaked, and I could smell my arousal in the air as he devoured me hungrily.

Oh, fuck... that‘s it... He was such a damn good kisser. My entire body felt like it might just give way. I moaned against his lips, feeling him throb against me. The power of the bond and those crazy hot sparks rushed through me like a violent storm. A storm created by the pent–up emotions that we had both fought for what felt like too damn long.

This kiss...

No words could describe it...

My arms wrapped around his neck tightly as he gripped the side of my face and the back of my neck, kissing me harder. 2

The taste of his mouth and his plush soft lips were so fucking good...

Damn…

I moaned against his lips, reaching down wanting more. I grabbed the hem of his shirt and

pulled it off, breaking away from his lips reluctantly to get it over his head. My stomach knotted as he allowed me to remove it, my eyes raking over his perfect body, and I ran my fingers down his chest, letting my nails dig into his skin. Leaving scratches in my wake.

His eyes flashed, and something told me he liked that.

Oh, I could devour him.

I couldn‘t wait to have his dick inside me once more.

He was a damn sex god. Every inch of his body was perfect and so fucking enticing...

He tossed the shirt to the floor, his muscles flexing as I ran my hand up his traps, grazing the back of his neck.

For a moment, our eyes met once more and time seemed to stand still, his steely blue filled with so many emotions...

So intense...

I couldn‘t breathe… I

“Fuck you‘re beautiful.” He whispered seductively. 2

Those words made my pussy clench. The way he was looking at me...

I believed them..

Suddenly, he lifted me up, his hands on my ass as his lips came crashing against mine in a bruising kiss.

He began walking towards his room, and my heart began thundering. Flashes from the night of his rejection returned to me with vengeance. The suffocating pain of his rejection as I tried to speak but couldn‘t, the memory of me crumbled on that floor as I wished he didn‘t leave. Trying to beg him to stay... The pain of my wolf‘s heartbreak as she howled in agony. I hadn’t been able to breathe... I

“Azura! Azura look at me.”

I gasped as his hands cupped my face, snapping me from my thoughts, and I realised we were in his room, and I was sitting on his lap on the bed. My arms were still around his neck, but I had spaced. My heart was pounding violently as I looked around, trying to gather my thoughts. 1 Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Baby girl, look at me.” 4

I stared into his eyes, wondering if he had sensed my thoughts, and my stomach sank when I saw the storm of guilt in his eyes.

He had felt it... all my emotions.

I slammed my walls up but it was too damn late.

I looked away, hating feeling so vulnerable... Sure I had told him how I had felt but I had never expected him to feel it... “I just... I was... I just–” He pressed his thumb against my lips, shaking his head.

“I didn‘t realise how hard the rejection was... I hurt you so fucking much... I fucking talk about being a better person but the consequence of my actions–” 1 His phone rang, startling both of us, and I quickly got off his lap, feeling so out of place as I backed away from him. 3 I couldn‘t place the emotion in his eyes as he watched me, but I was unable to get rid of the memory of that night. I turned my back on him the moment he stood up and answered his phone.

“Alpha. Tracer 7 is on the move, and they are not travelling any of their usual routes.” I didn‘t recognise the man on the other side of the phone as Leo moved past me. Grabbing his laptop, he sat down, flipping it open.

“On it, are you following?”

“No, I‘m staying at a distance.” “You got your phone with you?” He asked me.

I nodded

“Can you grab it?”

“I‘ll go get it.” Hurrying out to the lounge, I felt confused, realising what we had almost done.

The chemistry between us was crazy, but even in that haze of lust and want, the rejection had left me feeling cold. I could feel her pain in my head, the fact she didn‘t get to be near her mate... and I realised unless she healed, I couldn‘t move on from that pain either. 6

I could sense her whimpering in the corner of my mind. I had never felt her presence this strongly since before the rejection. She was getting stronger, but she was in so much pain... I missed her... I wanted her to return to her full strength.

I grabbed my phone, staring at the screen, blankly for a moment. I had a few texts but I didn‘t open them. I carried it back to the bedroom and unlocked it.

Leo was sitting there shirtless, laptop in his lap, his phone placed next to him, and he was still on call.

“Text your friend Song, just ask her what she‘s up to.” He said, glancing up as he ran his fingers through his hair. 5

And if it wasn‘t for what he had just said, I would have gotten distracted by his body. My stomach sank as I stared at him before looking down at my phone.

“What‘s happened?”

“Don‘t stress it, just text her.” He replied,

I nodded. My eyes fell to his hard manhood before our eyes met once more and I realised I had messed it all up. A strange tension had settled between us and he had his walls fully back up and was once more the cold Leo... 3

I tried to focus as I opened Song‘s messages, realising she hadn‘t really inputted anything on the group chat.

47 Piston & Confusion

But she had sent two private messages.

‘Hey Azura, do you think we can video call when you have a moment alone?‘ ‘Azura you there?‘ Song was not impatient…

“Has he got her?” I asked quietly. “That doesn‘t sound like her.”

I held the phone out to Leo, who took it from me, frowning deeply. He began texting, and I sat down next to him, making sure to leave a small gap as I leaned over to see what he was typing.

‘Sure, I can call in a few minutes. Just let me make sure I‘m alone. I’ll call you.‘

‘Great.‘

“What is going on, Leo?” I asked, looking at the laptop. It was a map with a flashing blue blimp moving pretty fast.

“I had been tracking Skyla, Kataleya & Song just in case he tried something to hurt them. I sent one of my trusted men to keep an eye on Song due to her being the ideal option to target and it seemed Judah may have done just that… Her phone is moving at an incredible pace and she hasn‘t made any calls in the last few days, only texted and most of those were to you.” Leo frowned.

My heart thundered as I stared at the screen.

“If he has Song, he will hurt her.” I whispered, my heart thundering with anger and fear.

Anger at Judah, and fear for Song.

I needed to save her.

“Calm down, answer the call like normal, I‘m hoping he shows his face it will help... I‘m tracking them. We will find them, don‘t worry.” His voice was serious and cold once more and I simply nodded.

He took my phone, pressing just a few buttons. My screen blinked before he passed it back to me. His eyes met mine as I stared at the phone, feeling a little shaken.

“Azura?”

“What?” I replied.

He seemed to hesitate for a second, muting the phone that was next to him. “You got this... As for the deal... we‘ll consider it done. I won‘t back out of the promise I made you.” He said quietly, looking away. My heart clenched, feeling a mix of emotions, and I nodded, not knowing what to say. So instead, I sat back against the headboard making sure it looked like I was alone.

I took a deep breath, inhaling his scent to calm myself. You got this, Azura. Leo stood up, turning the light up so the room was flooded with a warm light before sitting on

the floor, with his laptop in front of him.

“Just remain calm, whatever you see on your screen, I will see on mine. Don‘t look away from the screen and make sure he does not realise you are not alone, ok?“. I nodded, my heart thumping at the phone in front of me. Taking a deep breath, I called Song, placing a huge smile on my face.

Please be ok...

The phone was answered only for me to be looking at a blank screen.

“Hey, girl.” I smiled.

“H–hey Azura.” Song‘s voice came.

My heart sank as I realised that was far from her normal voice. It sounded strained.

“Why can‘t I see you?” I asked, smiling slightly, although my nerves were a mess.

Suddenly, the phone tilted, and I realised it was some outdoor woody place... Suddenly Song came into view.

My eyes widened, my heart pounding, as I stared at her bruised face. There was something tied around her neck and a hand was yanking at her short hair. But it was the fear and concern in her eyes as she tried to shake her head slightly that got to me. She was worried about me when she was the one held hostage. “Song..” My stomach sank as I felt as if a bucket of icy water had been thrown at me. ‘Keep talking.’ Leo commanded through the link.

‘Ok‘

“Azura don–” Song began. Her head was suddenly yanked backwards before a fist connected with her face, making her grunt in pain.

“Song!” My heart thundered with rage, but it was the face that appeared on the screen that was the final cherry on top to ruin the evening for me.

His hazel eyes filled with dull darkness and that ever–remaining anger as he looked me over. “Well well well... It‘s good to see you again, little Pet. Now how about we stop playing hide and seek and you come to me, before I cut this pretty little witch into bite–size cubes and feed her to the fucking wolves.”

“Judah...” I growled.

“Azura.” He smirked coldly.

You are fucking dead. “I‘ll be waiting for you. Be a good little obedient bitch and leave that pack without telling that Alpha.” He hissed menacingly.

Ask him why.

“Why? Are you scared of him?” I asked coldly.

His smirk became even sicker as he leaned forward.

“Don‘t try me or shall I start chopping?” He threatened.

‘Agree to meet him.‘ Leo guided me with such calmness, that I realised he was sending it through the link to calm me.

“Fine. Don‘t hurt her, I‘ll come to you.”

‘At least we now have a face.‘ Leo‘s voice came.

It was strange, but despite the tension between us, I felt safe hearing his voice in my head.

“Good, keep your phone close, I will tell you exactly where to come. Make sure you‘re alone, and don‘t plan anything funny. We had a deal and unless you want these videos on the net... you will come to me.”

My phone beeped, and I saw the five incoming messages.

“Leave that pack tonight, Azura. Your first destination is that little cavern we used to meet at...

“Fine. I‘ll leave as soon as I can without anyone noticing.” I replied. “I‘ll see you soon... Don‘t take too long, or we might be enjoying a little witchy song for dinner tonight. Sounds...” He trailed off, his eyes darkening with rage when they fell on my neck.

“Are you sleeping with him?” He hissed so menacingly that I almost flinched. “No.” I growled. “Good, because you‘re mine.” He spat before the call ended. 2

No, I‘m fucking not. I tossed the phone onto the bed, leaning back as I ran my hands through my hair. Fuck, he had Song!

I punched the bed, my gaze falling on Leo.

He was working on his computer, but it was the blazing anger that was rolling off of him that caught my attention. I don‘t know how I didn‘t notice it; it was almost suffocating.

“Leo?” I called, and then I realised why he was so pissed. He had received those videos too, and although he hadn‘t clicked on them, looking at my phone, I could see that two of the videos he had sent clearly showed me.

Naked.

I felt sick at the fact that he had these. I hated how he would antagonise me until I felt like I had to prove that I could do anything. Leo stood up and placed his phone near his ear. “I want the team to

close in but keep hidden. This fucker won‘t be getting away. Make sure nothing happens to the girl.” He hung up, slipping his phone into his pocket, and turned to me. “He‘s not getting away. Not this time. Let‘s move. I‘m going to fucking kill him.” 13
