Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 33 – A Blinding Awakening LEO.
We were sitting in the cinema, watching a kid‘s movie, but I could tell Corrado wasn‘t enjoying it as much, as he was enjoying
watching me with a huge smile on his face. I felt fking bad, I was gone so often that he was regularly left without even seeing me
on some days. “Not enjoying the movie?” I asked, looking down at him. He shook his head. “No, I love it! I‘m loving the movie
because Daddy came with me.” He smiled and I leaned down, cupping the back of his head, placing a kiss on his forehead. “Me
too. It may be boring, but I like that we get this time, you know.” I remarked, adjusting his mini popcorn tray in his lap. “Thank
you, Daddy.” I gave him a wink before glancing at my phone. Azura hadn‘t left her room, which I was relieved about, but I
couldn‘t get what happened earlier out of my fking mind.

She was still hurting from all the sht I did to her... But she didn‘t get what I had meant, I regretted marking her because of my
limited time... I know Jackie has told me that Kiara could probably heal me, but I was unable to put aside my ego and ask them
for anything. I didn‘t need their help, just for Marcel and all of them to remind me that I fking owed them... 9 A couple of young
women slid into the seats next to me. Whispering and giggling irritatingly, they had been seated elsewhere before they had left
not long ago. The entire room was pretty empty, and I was certain they didn‘t pay for the seats they had now fking taken.
Corrado‘s eyes turned toward them before he looked at me, frowning slightly. “He‘s so fit.” “Dmn and who‘s the kid with him?”
“Let me sit next to him.” They were whispering quietly, but obviously, it was fking loud in my ears. Irritating as fk.
I didn‘t spare them even a glance while watching the screen, despite half my attention being on Corrado.
“Hey, cutie.” One of the women waved at him, leaning closer. Corrado raised his eyebrows, looking at me and then at the women
again. “My Daddy has a girlfriend.” He declared, and I almost smirked. 6 He had realised pretty young that women tried to talk to
him to get to me, and he never stood for it.
“Um sure, what‘s your name?”
I was tempted to speak up, but watching my kid deal with them was far more entertaining. “I don‘t tell strangers my name. Sorry.
Daddy, let‘s go home, Azura is waiting for you.” My eyebrow shot up.
Azura? Didn‘t he mean Nikki?
“The movie?” “It‘s boring, and I don‘t like girls.” He whispered loudly. 1 I sure fking hoped the women were feeling fking
humiliated, and I stood up.

“Let‘s go kid.” I lifted him up, walking out the other way.
“So why did you say Azura and not Nikki?” I asked, taking my phone out,
“You and Nikki broke up, so now we keep Azura as your new girlfriend.” ;
My eyebrow shot up and I wondered if this kid was going to be a playby growing up. “Isn‘t that moving too fast? Nikki just left.”
“No Daddy, because you and Nikki argue about more than football for many days now. So now we keep Azura forever.” He
declared as we left the viewing room. Wow... and I thought I did a good job in keeping that sht hidden.
“She isn‘t an item that we can just keep.”
“Why?”
I placed him on the ground as we both walked side by side.
I looked at him to tell him that you can‘t just own people, but the adorable look on his face stopped me. This kid was the dmn
cutest kid on the fking planet, and he was mine. “Because she‘s a little scary.” 3. “Azura isn‘t scary, Daddy! You aren‘t scared of
anything!” He giggled. I was. Of losing you. Leaving you. 8 I took my phone out and looked at it again. I fking felt at unease again
and after last time I wasn‘t feeling good about her being there alone. Although I could see Jax was there on the steps, clearly
alert, as his head was turned downwards towards the lower floor. 1 He was using a scent disguiser, and I knew even Emmet
wouldn‘t notice him there unless he went up the stairs, so all should be ok... “Kiddo, shall we get takeaway and get home?
Maybe we can eat it with Azura?” “Oh yes! Let’s all eat together. Then you make Azura happy, and we bring her home.” He
replied as we left the place. “Perfect.” I replied distractedly, as I walked over to one of the takeout shops inside near the cinema. I
placed our order distractedly, as I mulled over Emmet‘s reaction when I told him that he was suspended until further notice...
(FLASHBACK) “It was her, wasn‘t it?” He asked, barely able to keep his hatred at bay. I raised an eyebrow. “Whether it was her
or someone else. I will follow protocol because we stand for what‘s right. As future Alpha and Delta, it‘s our fking duty to be an
example for our people. These are just the rules that we all need to follow.” 1 “You spoke to Jackie, I‘m sure she‘ll clearly tell you
we are totally fking fine.” He spat. “Calm the fk down, Emmet. Friend or not, I’m not going to break the rules for you.” I warned,
my eyes flashing. “You are going to believe a fking Elite? One who has fking reaped discord since she‘s got here. Tell me, who is
her fking mate that ain‘t accepting her?!” “Jax.” I lied, knowing this meant I would have to tell Jax the truth, but he‘d keep the
secret. “Jax Adams? And you really want one of your strongest men mated to an Elite?” He looked disgusted. “I‘ve never
stopped anyone from going to an elite pack or vice versa before, if they find their mate. She‘s been marked, what do you want
me to do? Just send her back? The one who marked her needs to fix this sht... somehow.” 1 “Who cares what happens to a
fking elite.” He spat. 1 I frowned. “She wasn‘t one of the ones who caused us any harm... She was a child when all that sh*t went

down... There‘s no difference between us if we hurt those who are fking innocent Emmet. This has nothing to do with her, but the
fact you hurt Jackie, whether it was a one–off or not... It was a fking crime. Marcel will be the final judge.” “We both know that
Marcel is simply Alpha by title Leo, you are the real one in charge. This is all in your hands.” Our eyes met and I stepped closer.
“Yeah, maybe it is, and if so, then my decision still stands. Until I‘m satisfied, you will not step into the Delta title again.” “I‘m your
best friend, Leo.” 1 “And like I‘ve said a thousand times, I will never let the rules slide even for someone I consider my brother.” I
growled menacingly, my aura rolling off me. He was forced to submit and looked down. “You need me close to Marcel to make
sure that he doesn‘t get wind of what else you do Leo.” Was that a threat? “I fear no one. What I do is for my pack, and if anyone
double–crosses me... then they will fking pay. Remember that.” I ended the conversation, storming out.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
“Here‘s your order. Can I get you anything else?” The woman behind the counter asked. “No.” I replied, taking out my card and
paying.
“Thank you.” Corrado said, picking up the bags with ease.
“You are most welcome.” She flashed him a smile before I picked up the drinks, and we headed. out to the carpark
I helped Corrado in and strapped him in.
“Seatbelts on.” He said, making sure it was strapped in. “Daddy, I hold the drinks so they don‘t spill.” “You sure?” I was sure we
may just have more spillage... He nodded confidently and I passed them to him, placing the bags on the seat next to him, and
got into the car. Putting my own seatbelt on, something that I did when Corrado was with me, I started the car. I could feel him
watching and could see the happy smile on his face
“We will watch another movie with Azura.” He declared. “I think we should ask her to come to our apartment.”
“Inviting girls home already?” “Yes, girls we like.” He nodded. 5 I smirked as I put some clean music on before we drove out. I
texted Jax, frowning, as I switched the view on the cameras again. We weren‘t that far from the pack grounds, but it was fking
crazy how on edge I was feeling. Emmet had a temper, and I fking wished I had moved her upstairs to my apartment, or to
Marcel‘s...
The screen lit up with Jax‘s reply and clicked on it. ‘Nothing to worry about here, Alpha.‘ I left the camera on my LCD screen
before calling Eric. “Hello, Alpha.”
“Keep an eye on Emmet. He was pretty pissed when I suspended him as Delta.”

“You suspended him?” He sounded shocked. “No, the fking tooth fairy did. I just told you I fking did.” I muttered, making sure to
keep my voice down. 5
“Ah sorry, yes of course.”
“Keep an eye on him.” I ended the call, finally within mind–linking range of the pack. No one had gone to Azura‘s room, and my
eyes were fixed on the cameras on the screen. So I really needed to chill out... 1
That unease was fking growing and last time she had gotten hurt... I tilted my head frowning as I watched Jax on the stairs away
from the floor, but he was standing on alert in exactly the same position he was moments ago... Was the camera frozen? Or was
he really not moving? Jax.’ No reply. I parked up, grabbing Corrado from the back. He passed me the drinks and grabbed the
food. “Come on.” I murmured, carrying him through to my underground cave. No one had entered or left Azura‘s room. She‘ll be
fine. Chill the fk out Leo.
But I fking couldn‘t. “I can walk, Daddy.” He smiled, clearly happy with being carried again. “I know, kiddo.” I gave him a faint
smile, heading straight for the lift, up to my office. ‘Winona, come to my apartment immediately and watch Corrado.‘ “Yes, Alpha.‘
She only lived a few floors down. “Wait here, I‘ll bring Azura.” I told him, placing him down in the open living space. “Ok!” He said
happily as he began taking the food out of the bag. “I‘ll set the table.” “Jax.‘ Nothing I left the room, and instantly the faint smell
that lingered made me cover my nose with my sleeve. A sleeping drug... I broke into a run just as my phone buzzed, I looked at
it, Azura‘s door had been opened. I couldn‘t hear anything, the door shut just as I reached the top of the stairs, spotting Jax
slumped on the ground. A fire of rage rushed through me, and my eyes blazed as I ran down the stairs, my feet barely touching
the steps. I skipped most of them, rushing to her door. No matter how calm I was trying to be, the storm raging inside of me
refused to calm down. I was fking going crazy at just the thought of something happening to her.
Emmet‘s scent lingered outside, and I opened her door quietly just in case I was fking overreacting, only to be met with the
sound of Emmet‘s voice. “...gone with his kid. He won‘t be home for a while. Who are you going to run to now?” ! “I don‘t need to
fking run because I can deal with you myself.” Azura replied icily.
I turned the bend only to see he had her pinned against the wall near the bedroom door, his hand around her neck, whilst she
had her arms in front of her stomach defensively. Neither had seen me yet...
How dare he touch her...
“I know your secret.” He whispered menacingly.

Her eyes flashed with fear, something I wasn‘t used to seeing in them. I was trying to contain the white–hot anger that was
festering within me. I had never felt so angry in my fking life. The urge to shift and rip him apart was taking over. My own
heartbeat was beating violently, my claws out and it was then Azura‘s eyes snapped up, finally noticing me. A wave of relief filled
her eyes. I‘m here. “Let her go.” I hissed, advancing towards him. He froze, letting go of her as if touching her suddenly burnt
him. His heart thudded as she let out a shaky breath. ‘I need someone to come to Emmet‘s floor and apprehend him before I kill
him.‘I growled through the link. I was fking shaking, ready to kill him. He turned to me, his face pale, his eyes blazing with rage
and fear.
“Leo...”
“How dare you...” I growled. “You have fking doomed yourself.” Jackie... Try to think of her... It was futile; I had lost my grasp on
reality and my self–control was slipping. All I could see was the blood dripping down her neck. The sound of the lift opening and
footsteps approaching reached my ears, but my only focus was on the brd in front of me. Emmet swore, running a hand through
his hair. “I‘m your friend Leo.” “I don‘t care. You crossed a line that you never should have.” I growled, advancing towards him.
“Fk it... if I‘m going down...” In a flash, he spun around, aiming a clean–cut roundhouse kick straight to her stomach. 11 My eyes
blazed in pure anger. I was behind him in a flash, just as Azura screamed as she was thrown to the ground, clutching her
stomach, my own growl of rage ringing in the air. I grabbed Emmet, punching him in the face, feeling something break. I didn‘t
fking care. I slammed him into the wall behind him, damaging the wall behind him at the impact. “What the fk, Leo!“He groaned in
pain. “You touched what‘s mine.” I growled viciously, digging my claws into his neck as I brought my knee up, connecting with his
stomach, feeling something break as he howled in anger. 3 His eyes widened, and pure fear flitted through him as he looked at
Azura on the floor with realisation dawning on him. 6
“She‘s...”
“Emmet! Leo!” Eric shouted. I wanted to kill him, but at the same time, worry was seeping through me.
Why wasn‘t she getting up? “We got him.” Ace‘s calm voice came, pulling me away. “Lock him up in an isolated cell with no one
allowed to see him.” I thundered, striding over to where Azura was on the floor, whimpering in pain. Her gown was slipping off
her shoulder, but she didn‘t seem to care as she sat there clutching her stomach.
“Are you ok?” I asked quietly.
I never should have left her.
I gripped her elbows, ready to help her to her feet when she whimpered in pain.

“It hurts... no... no...”
I looked down at her, frowning.
Did she break a rib? “Let‘s get you checked out.” I whispered, about to lift her when I saw the blood seeping down her thighs. 4
Where was she hurt? Did I fking get here too late? She looked up at me, her silver eyes filled with tears. 1 . “My baby can‘t die.”
20 My eyes widened in shock and I stared into her eyes, my head spinning as her words echoed in my mind. Baby... I looked at
her clutching her stomach, and suddenly my entire fking world came crashing down around me. She was carrying our child. 9
Goddess, what have I done?
