Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 100

99. Where I Belong

AZURA.

A lot was riding on tonight, but despite the weight of what was to come, I was happy and so excited for tonight.

Tonight, I will join my new family, and be bound to Leo officially before this pack, my family and loved ones. I walk between Mama and Dad approaching the venue. The full moon is high in the sky and a cool breeze blows past us. Tonight is so peaceful…

“You look beautiful in blue,” I tell Mama, admiring her sexy royal blue gown.

“Of course, it will compliment your eyes in the photos.” She says, smiling at me.

I nod, too emotional to say more. I look down at myself, although all I could see were my boobs that were pushed up in this fitted dress. I don’t think I have ever felt so beautiful, save the times Leo makes love to me.

My dress is fitted to my thighs, and hugs all my curves, including my bump, although the rest of the women said that just made it look even better. I was surprised that I agreed. This bump was proof of Leo’s and my union. A baby we made, together.

I feel nervous as I walk down the beige carpet that was rolled from the mansion gates all the way to the Pack Hall. Winona had gone above and beyond to create the perfect night. There are flowers and lights lining the path, too.

The quintuplets walk ahead, laughing and talking as they comment on the architectural designs – admiring them, although Jayce is pretty quiet, hands in the pockets of his black pants, he’s still looking around, too. He and Theo are in black, whilst the other three are in beige to match me. Only Carter and Renji have suit jackets on though.

Corrado keeps smiling shyly as he looks back at me, and I smile back, holding my hand out to him.

“No no Mommy, you have to walk alone, because you’re the bride!” He says, making me blush.

Bride… Well, this is literally the werewolf version of a marriage…

Dad chuckles, “It sure is, son.”

I smile, remembering the moment between them earlier….

(FLASHBACK)

“Azura Mommy’s, Mommy and Daddy…” Corrado says slowly, looking at them with interest. Mama nods, patting the seat beside her. ”

Yes, so that makes us your grandparents.” She says as Corrado sits down and stares at her before slapping his forehead.

“So many grandpas and grandmommys to remember!” He replies before smiling happily. “I like it. I won’t forget you because you are Mommy’s mommy and Daddy!”

“Of course not, but not only that, but we’re your grandparents, too.” Dad smiles at him as he ruffles his hair.

Corrado nods fervently.

“Yes!”

(END OF FLASHBACK)

He had become mine in such a short time, as if he has always been a part of my life. I love this cherub.

We reach the hall, and the boys enter first.

“Luna’s in the house.” Theo says. confidently, my heart is thundering as I look ahead at the brightly lit venue.

It looks gorgeous, and Mama gives me a soft kiss on the top of my hair. “You got this, baby girl.” She murmurs as Corrado and Katara head inside after the quintuplets.

I look over my shoulder, trying not to get emotional when I see my siblings, Raven,

Dante, and my girls. All of them watching me with so many emotions.

“Go on.” Kataleya ushers me, smiling softly.

I nod slowly as they form a semi-circle behind me, and I step inside with Dad and Mama by my side.

I feel his gaze upon me before I even look up. My heart skips a beat as I stare at the man before me. He always looks beyond handsome, but tonight… I swallow as I stare at him. There’s something more, the way he looks at me with such intense raw emotion that he doesn’t try to hide in those icy blue eyes that devour me. His hair is slicked back, save a stray strand that falls in front of his forehead, and he’s wearing a black suit with a dark grey satin shirt that he fills in nicely with his sexy body.

His eyes are on me, and he doesn’t need to say anything. His face says it all…

To have someone so deeply in love with you, that all he can think about is you. Our eyes lock and my heart thuds as I stare at him, and then he lifts the barrier of our bond that he had put up between Letting his emotions flood me like a dam that has given way and I can’t breathe…

These emotions are so intense, so powerful, that my eyes sting with tears.

There are not enough words to ever express them… There was so much more than love, passion, hunger… Far too many to ever put a name to.

I move towards him, and he does the same, closing the gap between us. The moment he reaches me, he grips my face, cupping the back of my neck as I arch my neck back, and he presses his forehead to mine as he leans over me. I close my eyes for a second, sparks dancing through me.

‘Fuck girl… you look like a Goddess.’ He whispers through the link.

‘One fit for a God before me.’ I reply shakily, and then his lips are on mine. Moving against mine with a passion that makes me melt beneath his hold, one hand leaves my neck as it snakes around my waist, and he lifts me off the ground.

My heart thunders as I lock my arms around his neck, kissing him with as much passion as I can muster. His arm wraps around my thighs, lifting me higher until he’s standing straight. He grips my neck, his tongue running along my lips. I flick it with my own, my core clenching as pleasure ripples through me.

I think I see the flash of a camera go off, but I don’t care, as we kiss until I’m gasping for air, and that’s when Leo moves back.

“This is why I chose super matt lipstick.” Raihana’s voice comes, making me laugh weakly as Leo slowly puts me down and I realise all eyes are on us.

“Wow… I think Mommy and Daddy made more babies.” Corrado whispers, making many people chuckle. 7

Everyone comes over and I see Raihana inspecting my lipstick before she gives me a thumbs up and I turn to Marcel, who is watching us with an emotional smile on his face.

“You look beautiful, Azura. You both look incredible together.” He adds before he comes over, hugging us both.

I close my eyes, hugging him back, trying to control my tears and today I don’t blame my pregnancy.

“You really do look out of this world.” Leo murmurs, his arm snaking around my waist as he pulls me close. “You look fucking unbelievable.”

“You too Baby.” I reply, running my fingers down his chest.

Dad and Mama approach, and compliment Leo before some of the others approach, complimenting us.

“Azura.” I turn, smiling to see Atlas there. There’s no unease inside of me and

I confidently walk over to him and hug him. He hugs me back tightly, his heart racing. “You look beautiful.”

“Thank you. You look handsome too.” I say, he did too, handsome in a grey suit.

Mama and Dad greet him, and Liam shakes his hand.

“Nice to see you again, Atlas.” Dad says and I realise they were always ready to welcome him into the family. Even if Fred hurt them, and betrayed Indigo, they were better people than I am, and all I can do is strive to be like them.

Only then does Marcel run his hand through his hair and turn to the stage.

“Let’s get the ceremony done first.” He says.

“Time to take your titles Alpha, Luna.”

Jax adds with a wink, before Leo smirks and looks down at me.

“Ready?” He asks.

I nod and we walk towards the stage when I almost trip over the underskirt of the dress and my shoe slips off. I stumble, but Leo manages to save me. His grip on my waist is firm. 5

“You ok?” He asks as I blush and nod.

“Yeah.” I say, as a few who have moved forward, slowly step back again. “Wait.” I add, turning back.

Leo stops and he turns his head to look at me. I spot my shoe a foot away and lift my dress, ready to slip my shoe back on, when Leo walks past me and picks up my satin bridal heel.
