AZURA.

“Later.” Leo’s quiet, cold voice came as I walked over to Marcel.

“Babe…”

Conceal how you feel.

You got this girl.

“It smells so good.” I said, smiling as I look at the flames.

“Be careful, Azura, it’s very hot.” The heat of the grill was nothing compared to the burning pain in my chest.

“I don’t mind getting burned.” I replied quietly, before giving him a smile.

“So, where did you go on holiday?” “Well, I was in Scotland for the most part, and then I stopped at a few places before my visit to Alejandro was cut short.” I could feel Leo’s irritation, but I didn’t bother paying him any attention.

“I’m sorry about that.” I replied as I picked up the platter of cooked meat and carried it to the round table, where everything was already set up.

I didn’t want to sit at the table with him, but I had no choice but to.

When Corrado jumped into the seat between Marcel and me, I expected Leo to take the seat next to his father, but instead, he took the seat on my left.

I clenched my jaw but didn’t even spare him a glance as I began filling my plate.

Nikki said down last, placing her hand on Leo’s bulging bicep before she moved back, a small smile on her face.

1 “It’s tasty!” Corrado declared and I smiled as I carried on building my tower burger.

“That’s so big!” “Well, she’s got a big gob.” Leo remarked.

I clenched my jaw.
Yeah, I f*****g do, or I wouldn’t have been able to take your d**n d**k! I should have bitten it off when I had the f*****g chance…

4 “Leo, be nice.” Nikki said, despite the small, amused smile on her face.

“Oh, it’s ok, I get a lot of people jealous of my big mouth.

Are you jealous, Little Alpha?” I asked sweetly, turning my attention to Leo.

He raised his eyebrow as he looked at me.
“No.

How about you, jealous?” We weren’t talking about my lips anymore.

“Keep talking.” I challenged him with a dangerous smirk, satisfied when his confidence faltered.

“Oh yes, Marcel, what is the law against marking someone without permission?” 2

Leo’s hand shot out under the table, grabbing my thigh, as he gave it a squeeze in a warning.

2 Marcel frowned as he stared at my neck, before his eyes met mine.

“It’s a serious crime, one that would be taken to the court of Selene.”

Leo scoffed.

“No one from this pack is going to ever be trialled at the court.” “Why not, Daddy?” Corrado asked.

I discreetly tried to push Leo’s hand off of me.

His fingers on my inner thigh were driving me nuts, with equal desire and anger.

“Because-”

“We follow the council, Leo.

We are part of this country and its rules.” “I follow no rules.”

Right.

If he was not going to remove his f*****g hand….

Then I’m just going to have to remove it for him.

One last chance, f****r.

I glared at him, but he simply gave me another one of his emotionless cold glares that oozed power and dominance.

Nope? Ok.

I picked up the knife and cut my burger down the middle, before slipping my hand under the table, knife in hand.

Everyone was too busy eating, or in Marcel’s case, trying to get Leo to acknowledge the court.

Leo was ignoring him, arrogantly drinking some Coca Cola, so I took the chance, slamming the knife into his hand that gripped my thigh and clenching my teeth as I felt the blade dig into my leg.

10 Good, it means I went right through his f*****g hand.

“The f**k!” Leo growled, his knee hitting the table, jolting the entire thing as he almost spilt his coke.
Sitting up straight, he turned sharply, glaring at me with steely blue eyes.

* That’s what you get for f*****g touching me! 2 His murderous aura swirled around him, but I was not going to get f*****g intimidated by him.

“What!?” I snapped, yanking the knife from his hand and my leg, before quickly wiping the blade clean on my pants.

“What happened?!” Nikki exclaimed.

“I can smell blood.” Marcel said getting up, as Leo smoothly shoved his hand into his pocket, his eyes flashing.

“Sorry, I just accidentally cut myself, I didn’t realise how sharp the knife was.” I : reassured him, blinking at him innocently before waving my hand.

“It’s nothing at all.” I need a band-aid?” Nikki asked concerned.

“No, not at all.” The d**k-face might, oh wait, a band-aid wouldn’t cover that.

3

I almost snickered.

“Babe, what happened to you? Why did you swear?” Nikki asked confused, as she now turned to Leo.1

Leo clenched his jaw, turning his cold glare toward me.

“She’s just f*****g crazy, she almost cut me.” He hissed icily, suddenly standing up.

1 Almost? LOL Blue-Eyes, I f*****g impaled you, and next time it will be your d**k.

“Daddy isn’t scared of a knife…” Corrado mumbled, but he looked scared too, and remained silent.

I felt bad for that, but Leo had pissed me off.

Without a glance back, Leo stormed off.

Nikki stood up but after a moment she sat down, frowning deeply, and I’m sure Leo had told her not to follow.

“He just needs space, dear.” Marcel sighed.

I placed the knife down.

Poor little Alpha has no f*****g idea who he’s messing with.

2 I picked my burger and I saw Nikki watching me as I bit into my triple stack with ease.

Yeah, this big mouth comes in good d**n use.

After lunch, I played with Corrado for a bit, before thanking Marcel for the food and told him I’d be heading back.
He had asked me once more if I was sure I didn’t want my parents to know, how he felt bad for me and he could talk to them himself, but I didn’t want them to know and made it clear.

Time to get out of here…

I would get a taxi once I was in the city close by, then from there, I’d go straight to Kiara’s pack.

I didn’t have any other option.

Surely they wouldn’t put me forward to the court of Selene…

‘Daughter of an Elite.’ Leo’s words returned to me, and I sighed.

Trying to hide my crimes…

wanting to be pardoned by those in power, wasn’t I proving to him that it was exactly what I was?

I picked up my phone, and staring at it.

Kataleya had texted asking to let her know what I needed from Dante.

She had also attached his number, telling me they and Dante would always be there for me.

She really was a gem.

What had I gotten myself into? I looked at the number Leo had texted me from, would he even agree to get me out of here when I had stabbed him just hours ago? I had nothing to lose.

‘I’m going to be leaving.
