Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 127

127. Epilogue

AZURA.

Over one year later…

“Phinie! Come here, come on!” Corrado says, holding his arms out to a fifteen- month-old Phoenix.

She giggles and toddles over to him. She’s been walking for about four months now and she’s a right little madam. Her dark hair shines under the sun. It may not be as black as mine but it’s equally glossy and straight. As for her eyes, they are a mix of mine and Leo’s, not as light as his and not as bright as mine, but a gorgeous blue that reminds me of a clear blue summer sky.

I lean back against the tree trunk, enjoying the shade of the tree from the heat. A picnic sits in front of us with the double pushchair for the twins next to me. My hair’s up in a messy bun or as messy as it can get with my hair, and I’m wearing shorts and a sheer oversized top that shows off my bra underneath. 5

Life’s been great, since I stopped breastfeeding Phoenix. I’m working alongside my Luna duties, I even get to go out of the pack on training or on jobs, although Leo won’t let me go overnight alone, unless he’s with me and honestly, I actually prefer it. I mean, I can’t sleep without a climb on that ladder of his. 3

He now turns and looks at me, my sexy irresistible Wolf. He winks at me and my core clenches.

Yeah, I’m still shit with my walls, but I really don’t care. We don’t have secrets from one another. He looks like a damn gorgeous sex god in that white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and black pants that only make those muscular legs look tantalising. He’s standing there, carrying the twins in his arms as he rocks them gently. They’re four months old now and they are so damn cute. They’re almost identical, with light brown hair and large chocolate brown eyes. 9

Two little princesses, and although Leo had initially been stunned when he learned about them, if you look at the trio now, you can see the immense love he has for them. His phone rings and I look over at it. 4

“It’s Alejandro.” I say as he walks over to me and carefully places the twins down on the blanket that covers the floor in front of us. He takes hold of my chin, kissing my lips before taking the call.

“Yeah?”

“Is that how you fucking answer a call?”

“Yeah, what the fuck do you want?” 5

These two…

I smile as I snuggle into my man, although I want to do a lot more than that, and I lean up kissing his neck softly.

“Did you manage to check the reports I sent you?” Alejandro’s voice is serious again.

Leo frowns. “I did. I have a few suggestions that I’ll send over to you before midnight tonight. I would recommend clearing those areas out until we know what’s going on.”

“I was thinking the same, but without proof

“We may not get proof; you need to have the place cleared before the damage is far worse. I can book out whatever rooms we need at any of my hotels for those who will be displaced and I’m sure the Rossi Hotels have plenty of fucking space too.”

“True, I think I’ll mention that to the council … Still don’t want to be a part of the council?”

“I already know all the shit that’s going on. Why would I waste my time listening to a group of Alpha males, with far too much ego and anger?” He asks arrogantly.

Alejandro chuckles. “Those Alphas always want to know what you recommend.”

“I would have thought that you wouldn’t need me, I’m fucking sure now that your daughter’s found her ma-” 1

“Don’t go there.” Alejandro growls and I smile. That topic is still a little touchy with him. 12

Skyla…

Now that is a story that I could tell you… but then again, it would take me quite a while. I think that’s a story for another day. 14

“I’m here when you need advice Alejandro, but I am not joining the council. Let me enjoy my life with my woman and family.”

“Can’t argue with that one.” Alejandro says, before Leo hangs up and tosses the phone to the ground.

I look up at him, and he wraps his arms around my shoulders, kissing my neck.

Leo… things have changed a lot. Although Leo is still part of his Cartel, it’s no longer what it used to be. Now, more of an organisation that really only protects those who are vulnerable and need support as well as keeping an eye and control over the other smaller organisations.

LHR group of companies rose fast and hard, branching out in several areas, including the supernatural media and the internet. He even opened his own tech company, which works with security and training equipment, and machinery that is armed with impressive gadgets. He had opened his own laboratories to do research on poisons, remedies and more. 2

One of his greatest achievements is the selling of the healing serum, which is now being mass-produced in a lab. The serum is purchased from packs all across the country. LHR group is a multi-billionaire company that is rivalling the Rossi and Arden empires.

From the shadows, he rose, and became a true force to be reckoned with. Everyone knows who Leo Rossi is and he has gained recognition and respect from many.

My man is still smashing targets and reaching new heights. He is, and always will be a true king.

“Enough with the praises.” He says, “How did we even get stuck with all the kids today?”

“Well, everyone needs some alone time right? So I offered, since we’re the ones bailing most of the time.” I say, running my hand up his thigh. “Besides, they are all behaving so well.” I look over at Phoenix and Corrado, who are now eating the sliced strawberries.

“Fair enough.” He says, about to lean over and kiss me, when one of the twins begins.

crying. I snicker as Leo sighs and I sit up, picking Jackie up. As if on cue her twin starts crying too and Leo picks her up. 3

Jackie… it’s the perfect name for this cupid, just as Leona goes nicely with Leo. 1

Phoenix watches us for a moment, pausing her strawberry eating and frowns before she climbs into Corrado’s lap.

“It’s ok Phinie.” He says, rocking her and handing her another sliced piece of strawberry. She shoves it into her mouth and casts us one last look before turning back to Corrado and snatching the second piece of strawberry that he had been about to eat himself.

It’s peaceful, the heartbeat of these pups, the rippling of the water in the pond, the rustle of the leaves in the trees and the wind

in the grass… the occasional chirping of a bird or squirrel…

So calming….
