Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 135

Beautiful Bond Ch 8. Teasing

MARCEL.

He had a point… But regardless of that, I don’t want her to feel uncomfortable.

“Well, it doesn’t matter where she’s from, we all know what we need to know, she’s from my pack.” I say looking down at the beautiful woman beside me. 1

Alejandro nods

“Fair enough.” He says, but I don’t miss the final calculating look in his eyes.

Leo looks at him. “How’s the council dealing with their current issues?” He questions, drawing Alejandro’s attention away. 2

I frown, seeing the flicker of concern in Alejandro’s eyes. “No progress as of yet.

We’re handling this shit.”

“I miss Rayhan being home.” Delsanra murmurs, looking at Rayhan. 1

I can’t fault her. Every time something occurred, he was the one leading the hunt. He had been out when the Judah issue had occurred, and now again. 2

“I fucking take the blame for that.”

Alejandro says.

“No, I’m sorry.” She shakes her head as Rayhan wraps his arms around her tightly, kissing her forehead.

“No, you’re not wrong, it’s unfair. I do always rely on him.” Alejandro admits, sighing.

“It is the duty of an Alpha to do what they must. It can be quiet though, especially with Ahren at school, and Sienna will be gone this new school year.” Maria adds.

Winona looks sympathetic as she listens quietly.

“Let Rayhan take a few weeks off. I’ll cover him.” Liam says seriously, sitting back in his seat. Raven smiles over at

Delsanra, who looks at them gratefully.

“You have your family too, Liam,” Rayhan says, frowning slightly.

“I do, but Raven will have company still, besides I could use the break from her.”

Liam counters teasingly, making Raven frown at him. He cups her face and kisses her forehead.

Raven will have a lot more company than Maria and Delsanra would. The Rossi mansion is vast, but there is a loneliness in those walls. Even with the laughter of children and the love of those residing there, it isn’t enough.

“Sounds like a good plan.” Elijah agrees. and Alejandro nods, frowning.

Recently there have been some strange occurrences that are growing in number over the months and there’s not much

Alejandro could do but call in those ideal for this job. 1

“The two families have a beautiful bond.’

Winona says through the mind link, watching as Rayhan thanks Liam and both men lean over, and fist bump one another.

‘We actually do, before they were even tied by the union of Kiara and Alejandro,

Rafael and Elijah were good friends, just as their sons are now.’ I reply, as she reaches for the meat on the grill platter that now sits in front of us and begins to placé some grilled meat on my plate. Her hair keeps falling in front of her and I reach over, brushing it back. 1

“Thank you.” She says softly, blushing lightly as I slowly let go of her hair. ” Would you like some salad?”

I pick up the bowl and raise an eyebrow as I put some in my own plate. “Would you like some?” I ask instead.

“Sure.” She says. Her heart skips a beat and I know we have a few pairs of eyes on

“You two are so cute.” Skyla says, and I glance up as she smiles deviously, watching us.

“I hope you did well in your exams, to her, and she shrugs.

“I say

“I always do great Uncle, stop changing the topic.”

“Skyla, leave them alone.” Kiara reprimands her lightly.

“Sky’s just jealous.” Azura adds making Skyla stick her tongue out at her.

Kataleya smiles. “I think you both make a lovely pair, and Uncle, it’s lovely to see you smiling like this.”

She’s always been observant. She is quite different from Azura and Skyla, each one special in their own way.

“So, tell me, Winona, what do you like most about Uncle?” Raihana asks, and several of the women turn their attention to her.

“Uh… What do you like about your mate?

I like the same…” She mumbles. 1

Not the right person to say that to

Bellissima…

Raihana smirks. “Oh, now I get it. Well, what do you know? I never realised you two were already at that stage.”

Chris smirks, kissing her neck.

“Raihana.” Maria scolds whilst Winona seems to realise what Raihana means, and her eyes fly open.

“No, I mean like personality! He’s sweet, caring… and he – he is handsome.” She blushes and I shake my head.

“Let the men leave, then we can have a proper talk,” Azura whispers to Raihana, although everyone can still hear her.

“And why the fuck are we leaving?” Leo asks.

“Yeah, exactly my fucking question.” Alejandro frowns.

Azura rolls her eyes. “For two people who are meant to be incredibly smart… Let me explain it to you. This is a no-smoking zone, so I know for a fact after food you two will want a smoke. So, you’ll be going outside.”

“Yes! And no smoking around Phinnie!”
