AZURA

“We shouldn’t have done that.” I said quietly. He shouldn’t have done that. “Yeah, but don’t go f*****g taking it the wrong way, it was to shut you up.” He said, his voice sounding thicker as he looked away.

It had gotten to him too…

This was it, the moment to reject him.

I looked up at him, trying to force myself to say the words.

“I…”

Do it, Azura.

Leo frowned as he searched my face for something.

Reject him.

F**k, why was it so hard?

It f*****g hurt.

How had he had the strength to do so? And after marking me too.

He raised an eyebrow, waiting, but I couldn’t do it.

His scent was overpowering me.

I was looking for an excuse…

asking myself what I should do…

When I thought of what I wanted in a mate, I always imagined someone who found me funny, someone who would be ok with me being crazy.

The type to laugh at the s**t I got up to.

Not everyone found their fated mate, and not everyone had it easy.

But was rejection the answer, without even fighting for him? 1

Was I just going to walk away? Nikki, remember Nikki.

1 “I…” “Yeah, I got the you part, what’s next?” He asked me in a husky voice.

“What’s wrong? Are you so distracted you can’t even string two f*****g words together?” I frowned, splaying my hands on his hard chest and shoving him back.

The tingles of the bond rippled through us, and I thought I heard his heart race.

“There’s nothing about you that distracts me, I just was thinking about something.” I scoffed.

“Oh?” “Weren’t you short on time? Let’s go.” He frowned, as if suddenly remembering, and he turned away, taking out some keys from his pocket.

“Yeah, let’s go.” He pressed a button on his keys and a sleek, matt black Mercedes Benz SUV lights flashed.

D**n, that was one s**y car…

“Wait, what do you mean let’s go? Aren’t you just showing me out? Or are you driving me to the pack border?”

“I’m dropping you to wherever the f**k you want to go.” 1 My heart skipped a beat.

Three hours in the car with Leo? After that kiss? No.

That was a bad idea.

But it’ll give you more time to reject him, or try to reject him…

No, just no.

“I can…” I trailed off.

It was safer…

If Judah didn’t see me leave, he wouldn’t realise where I am.

“Get in.” He commanded, watching me keenly as he popped open the trunk and took my suitcase, which I had dropped onto the ground at some point.

Oh f**k His gaze flickered to my lips before he looked away, tossing the suitcase into the trunk and shutting it.

“Are you getting in, or do you need me to get the f*****g door for you?” He was composed once more, and I was trying my best not to savour how he had felt and tasted.

He’s Nikki’s.

1 I walked around to the passenger side and got in, admiring the luxurious spacious interior.

Now, this was the perfect car to have s*x in.F**k, don’t think of s*x right now.

Wait, did he and Nikki f**k in this car? Urgh, yup, properly.

The thought of it stung but I refused to ponder on it, right now I felt like s**t.

Sure, as werewolves if you meet and mark your mate, or f**k them, it was fine, as then any other relationship becomes meaningless, but Leo…

He should have broken up with Nikki for it to be ok, but he didn’t, making me the side piece.

1

Reject him, Azura.

“Where to?” Leo asked as he started the car up, and R&B music came on.

“You might change your mind about dropping me off, but I’m going to Alejandro’s pack.” His hand tightened on the steering wheel, my attention falling to the two rings he was wearing “Right.” He said coldly.

“You’re still taking me?” I asked, unable to hide my surprise.

“I already said I would, I don’t go back on my word.”

I was unable to stop myself, the jolt of pain in my chest was powerful.

“But you can go back on your marking.” Our eyes met, and I wished I knew what he was thinking.

I looked away first, I wasn’t going to act like I cared.
