Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 105

104. Plans

LEO.

Two weeks had passed since our ceremony, and life was fucking better than good. With her officially mine in every fucking way, it felt perfect. I had shifted again, the first time in years and it didn’t almost kill me. I wanted to see

her in her wolf form too, but until she had the pup, we couldn’t do that.

We had taken the following day to simply relax and get some sleep since we didn’t fucking sleep that first night until early

morning. It was going to be one fucking

night to remember with the promise that

I’d get a dance every year on my birthday,

and I plan to hold her to it.

The guests had left the following evening, with them all promising to return soon. I

guess that meant they have open access

to this pack now.

I had wanted to ask Dante if he knew

anything about what happened with Azura’s wing-like aura, but I didn’t want to pressurise him into fucking thinking I just wanted answers. I didn’t need to be fucking Einstein to know that he wanted

to be treated like normal, and not to be expected to know everything. I’ll figure that shit out myself, somehow. But one thing is clear, until I had answers, I didn’t want her to use her powers again. 5

We had decided on a few things over the last fortnight, living arrangements for

one. We would move to the Villa. After

that night we both felt like it is the perfect

place for us. We had asked Dad to move in

with us when we did get the house sorted. Azura was already picking out colour palettes for the nursery and Corrado’s

room. I planned to make the entire lower

floor into a pad for myself, with some

extra features for the both of us.

I wanted to have some underground work done, so the access from the new place

linked to my cave.

Then there was the issue with Kareena.

Jax and I were going to have a discussion with her, and put forward Jax’s

suggestion. I just hope she listens. She no longer tries to kill herself, but she’s quiet, simply sitting there lost in thought. Becoming just a shell of who she was.

We were now at the hospital, where Azura is having a scan. The baby is growing well and is measuring quite big. It’s healthy and growing without any issues.

“You don’t want to know the gender?” The sonographer asks, smiling at us. Corrado is with us, staring at the image

on the screen, his mouth open as if in shock. We thought it was high time he saw his baby sibling, too. 1

“No, we don’t.” Azura replies, looking at

me, and I nod.

“Yeah, let’s have some things left a surprise. It’ll be cool.” I reply, caressing

Azura’s cheek. I glance back at the screen

as Azura asks Corrado what he thinks.

“Can you see the baby’s head, my

cherub?” She asks.

“Oh yes, the baby is so cute, Mommy.” He

replies in awe.

I raise an eyebrow, looking at the image. Well, it was incredible… but cute? 1

I smirk ruffling his hair. This kid is something else, and I know no matter what, he will take care of his baby sibling.

‘It’s crazy how our family is growing.’ I

say through the link as the sonographer wipes her stomach clean, removing all the gel and I help her to her feet. She

locks her arms around my neck and

kisses me.

‘It really is.’ She says.

I kiss her back before she moves away and takes hold of Corrado’s hand as we leave the hospital together.

“You know, Winona’s so quiet lately. I think there’s something on her mind.

Will you ask her? I did, but she said

everything was fine, but I don’t know…

she seems to be on edge and it’s like she

wants to be alone a lot. Like she avoids

being in the room with anyone.” Azura says, frowning slightly as she looks up at

I frown. She has been quieter, and I

noticed that too… like she’ll leave the

room as soon as she can. A sudden

thought occurs to me, and I frown, odd

behaviour… Could she be….

“What? Leo, don’t tell me your-”

“I can’t take chances… I need to make

sure I keep everyone under the radar. I’ll have a word with her.” I say firmly and quietly, making sure Corrado can’t hear

She sighs, “It’s not what you’re thinking … but any leads?”

“None, but we’re working on it. A few

times we have been close, but then he

gets away. Janaina thinks we’re missing what he is, and if we learn that, we get him. There’s some old texts they are fucking stumped on and I told them to

send them to me. I’ll see if I can crack the

code.”

“In the ancient tongue of witchcraft?”

She asks, looking up at me.

I shake my head.

“No, just an ancient language that they

don’t actually have a name for. We don’t know much about it, but there are images. depicting shadowy men, or some kind of beings. So we’ll see.” I reply, pulling her close and kissing her neck. “Tonight, as you know I’m handling Web, everything is already in place, and I really can’t

afford to let this chance by. Once and for

all, I’m dealing with him.”

She sighs and rests her head against my shoulder. “Ok, but be careful, remember

you aren’t invincible Baby.”

“I pretty much am.” I reply arrogantly.

“I know you’re super fierce, but still-” I cut her off with a hot passionate kiss, knowing she isn’t going to drop it.

“Daddy, let’s get some treats from the bakery!” Corrado says, pointing to one of the two Pack bakeries and forcing us to break the kiss. I glance at the bakery. There is a small seating area inside too, and it isn’t too busy.

“Sure thing.” I reply as I hold the door open for them both to pass inside first.

“Oh, look at those!” Azura says, inhaling deeply. “Mmm…”

‘How about we just have something here,

and something to drink. Hot chocolate

sound good?” I ask and both of them nod

in unison.

“Especially with the weather getting colder.” Azura says, looking out at the darkening skies.

“Alpha, Luna, Little Alpha. It’s lovely to have you here! Now, what can I get you?”

Anabelle, the woman behind the counter,

says, smiling at us.

Azura smiles back. I see a glimmer of

sadness in her eyes, but it vanishes

quickly enough, and I wonder what that’s

about. 4

“Hello, it smells so good in here, and there’s far too much to choose from! I

just wish I had stopped by sooner.” Azura says, as she and Corrado examine the

baked sweet treats. “Can we get two

doughnuts… the pecan pie… what do you want, my little cherub?”

“Oh Mommy, I think I want everything.” He rubs his tummy and Azura nods in agreement, a hand on her own stomach.

I bet if I slipped away, neither would fucking realise as long as they can eat…

I glance around the place, letting the two

place their order and link Jax. ‘Any

update?’

‘Everything is in place, and we have him pinned. If he tries to escape, he’s ours.’ Comes his cocky reply.

‘Yeah, he will be this time.’ I reply just as Azura, and Corrado walk over to one of

the small booths and take a seat.
