AZURA.

And with those words, I walked over to him confidently and gave him a big bear hug, praying that this worked.

I felt Leo’s aura rolling off him in waves, but just when I thought he was going to slit my throat in anger, Marcel let out a hearty laugh.

“It’s a true honour!

I need to hear what is going on, but how about Ilet you finish getting dressed…

” Hetrailed off as his eyes fell on my mark, frowning deeply.

“I never knew you were mated?

”“Oh I am.

Kinda.” I winked.

“Azura is really cool, but she can’t c**k.” Corrado added helpfully.

2 I pouted as I looked at mini Leo, did he really need to add that part?

Marcel chuckled, “Well we won’t need Azura to c**k, we have plenty of people who can c**k!

But I’m happy to see you here.

Surprised, but happy.

” He placed his hand on my head and I could see the happiness inhis eyes.

I smiled back, seeing Nikki turn and walk off.

Leo glanced at me but didn’t say anything, and I had a feeling he knew I wouldn’t say anything, before he followed her, and I heard their footstep receding.

21I hated how that hurt.

“Well, I will let you get dressed, come down to mine when you are ready!

Come Corrado, I have brought you some gifts.

” He picked up his grandson, and the moment I shut the door after them, I let out a breath of relief and ran a hand through my hair.

Oh for fucks sake, I am so screwed.

My heart thudded when a sudden thought came to me, what if Marcel mentioned to someone that Iwas here?

Goddess, help me.

I needed some air, entering my bedroom I pushed open one of the windows, taking a few deep breaths to calm myself, not to mention the nausea that was getting to me.

After a few minutes, I began looking through my things for something decent to wear.

“For fucks sake Nikki, stop it!

” I froze when I heard Leo’s voice through the window, my heart thundering.

“‘Why were you in her room?

!

Why is she here?

!

Something isn’t right and you’re hiding it from me!

Who the f**k is she?

” “I’m not fuckingdoing this with you!

She’s no‐one.

” Thanks, d**k‐face.

But what did I expect?

Him to tell her I’m his mate?

“Is she?

Then why were youin her room?

!

She was in her bra!

” “Oh for real, Nikki?

We’re f*****g werewolves, I’ve seen hundreds of she‐wolves in their bras, or without.

” Wow, that’s one way for you to make a point Leo, f*****g perv.

2 “In her room Leo.

With the door shut.

I’m not f*****g stupid!

I want to know who she is.

”“You heard her, she’s a f*****g Westwood, happy?

”“Exactly!

Why would youallow someone from a family you dislike here?

!

There’s something going on!

“She shouted.

I felt a wave of guilt wash over me, I was becoming the cause of problems intheir relationship.

.

.

I will go to this lunch and then I’ll figure something out.

Maybe I needed to go to Alejandro and Kiara.

Plan or not, I had to go.

5 “Leo!

” “I’m not having this f*****g conversation with you.

” His voice was fainter, and I heard thedistant sound of a door shutting.

I looked at the beige top in my hand, feeling disappointed in myself.

I had wasted enough time mulling over things and coming up with zero solutions.

I walked over to the bed and sat down, taking a moment to collect my thoughts.

Going to Alejandro would f**k up a lot.

.

.

Dante would have been my next option, but he wasn’t here.

.

.

What do I even tell Alejandro and Kiara?

‘Hey, so I’ve got some pretty wild s*x tapes that my exsecretly made last year that he is threatening torelease on the net.

Oh, and the same f****r has something on my girls, two of whom are your underage daughters?

Oh,and Iaccidentally killed someone and then I was forced to help get rid of the evidence?

‘ Yeah, s**t wasgoing to go down.

.

.

This could get Dad pushed off the council too.

.

.

O I ran my hand through my hair before I stood up and began gathering my things.

The sooner I was out of here, the better.

I shoved all my things into my bag, gathering my phone and stuff then putting it into my shoulder bag.

I’ll ask Leo to let Eric get me out of here.

I was causing problems, not only for Leo by being here, but for everyone.

I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the crushing pain in my chest once more.

I needed to reject him before I left.

2 Face to face if I could, because I wanted to see the pain in his eyes when I destroyed the bondcompletely.

2 Anger rushed through me, and for a second I wanted to unleash hell, but I simply took a deep breathMy phone beeped and I picked it up, mystomach lurching at the unknown number, my heartthundering as I unlocked the device.

Was it Judah?

But after looking at the text, I closed my eyes in relief.

‘Make sure you do not tell Marcel anything, I will handle it.

’ Leo.

It was Leo.

Thank the goddess.

The phone beeped again with a second message, with the story I was to tell MarcelAn hour later I was at Marcel’s mansion, after pulling on a baggy pairof jeans that I held up with a belt,a cropped beige long‐sleeved top and twisted my hair into a messy knot on top of my head.

I knew it looked silly, my hair was very silky and straight, making strands of hair stick up in all directionsrefusing to bend, but hey, Iwasn’t trying to please anyone.

Leo and Nikki were here, and if they had argued before there was no sign of it now.

He looked effortlessly handsome as ever, in black jeans and a dark grey short‐sleeved shirt, leavinghismuscular tattooed arms on display.

He was wearing shades and he had a cigarette between those lips of his.

He leaned against the wall of the mansion as Marcel put slices of meat on the barbeque.

“Azura, look what Grandad made!

” Corrado called, hurrying over to me the moment I stepped into thegarden.

I know Leo told me to stay away from him, but the boy approached me, and I didn’t plan to ignore

I know Leo told me to stay away from him, but the boy approached me, and I didn’t plan to ignorehim.

“What has he made?

” I asked.
