Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 21 – Flames of Destruction

AZURA.

S**t. No. Do I tell Leo? I was trying to calm my racing heart, what do I do?

The first thing that came to my mind was to ask him to stop at the service station and get away from him, but I had to think about my baby.

Doing that would not only risk me, but the baby too.

“Who was the message from?” Leo’s voice snapped me from my thoughts, making my breath hitch at his question.

He was watching me intensely.

His piercing eyes seemed to be peering into my soul.

“One of my girls.” I found myself lying, as I gazed out of the side mirror trying to see behind us.

Only the glaring headlights of a car could be seen.

3 Was that him? Was he close? Would he try something? I was putting Leo at risk as well if I didn’t tell him.

What should I do? 2 “Oh yeah? Stop lying Azura.

Are you going to keep hiding it from me?” “I’m not hiding anything…” I was struggling.

Why should I tell him? 1 I know why I didn’t want to…

because I wasn’t ready for him to tell me he didn’t care…

But maybe the mate bond would make him feel something? Yet I still wasn’t convinced …

“My patience is f*****g wearing thin.

Tell me the truth, because for the last fifteen minutes we’ve been followed, and I f*****g assure you, it’s not one of my enemies.” 2

Followed.

“Have we?” I asked, my heart thudding as I did my all not to press my hand against my stomach protectively.

“You’ve been too distracted to even notice, but I’ve taken several detours, yet that black McLaren has continued to f*****g follow.

So, either you tell me the f*****g truth now, or I will f*****g stop this car and deal with this s**t my way, no questions asked.” He almost growled, his eyes flashing a steely blue.

“No.” I said, grabbing hold of his arm.

Judah had weapons that killed instantly…

if he used something on Leo…

Just the thought of him getting hurt terrified me.

Although he pissed me off, I couldn’t let anyone get hurt because of me, and especially when he had Corrado waiting for him at home.

“Then start talking.” He threatened icily.

Our eyes met, before I looked away, not wanting to appear as vulnerable as I felt, and ran my other hand through my hair trying to word a sentence.

“It was from my ex.” I began hesitantly, daring not to look at him, but I felt his aura fill the car.

“He-“.

“Is he the one who was there the day I found you?” He cut in, his voice was menacing, although I could tell he was trying to control his anger.

My stomach twisted.

F**k, why was he so pissed? “Yeah.” I murmured, now daring to look at Leo, realising I was still holding his arm.

I was about to remove it, but the look in his eyes told me pissed was an understatement.

Didn’t the touch of a mate calm a person? Well, I didn’t want him to f*****g blow, and even if I wasn’t sure how well our broken bond would work, I kept my hand on him praying it calmer him even a little.

I shouldn’t have lied to him.

F**k, now he was pissed at me and I had no where to run to.

“And he’s the one you’re running from.” It was a statement not a question, so I stayed quiet.

“When I asked you to tell me, you f*****g should have.” He said dangerously, and I could see he was driving faster, way too fast…

The cars around us were a blur, and when he turned, taking a side road, darkness falling over us, I knew we were no longer on the right track.

He had taken a detour on purpose.

“Leo, he’s dangerous.

This has nothing to do with you, I will deal with him, just drop me to Alejandro’s pack and walk away.

He’s not someone to mess with.” I warned, not liking the speed we were driving at.

One wrong move and we’d crash.

He turned those piercing blue eyes on me and my head was screaming at me to tell him to watch the road ahead.

“Leo keep your eyes-” “Here’s a news flash little she-wolf; if you think that he isn’t someone to be messed with, then you really have no f*****g idea who I am.

He just f****d with the wrong f*****g wolf.” .

F**k, why did that sound so s**y and comforting? Wrong time, Azura..

“Leo, I get that you are the big bad wolf, but there’s something weird about Judah …

F**k, it’s complicated.” “Why haven’t you told anyone? Aren’t you a goddamn Westwood?” Our eyes met for a second, then his gaze flickered to my hand on his arm.

I quickly removed it, feeling an odd hollowness inside at the loss of contact.

It was weird…

“I don’t need others to fight my battles…

Plus…

I’ve done stuff, and if they find out s**t’s going to hit the fan.

Besides, Judah has some stuff on me.” I explained quietly, it felt oddly good telling someone about it, although I never thought Leo would be that person.

Speaking out made the weight that burdened me lift a little and my chest feel lighter.

“What kind of stuff?” He asked icily.

I could see that the car behind us was literally tailgating us, it was too f*****g close, and Leo’s anger was rising with each passing second.

I wasn’t sure if it was because of me or the car behind us, but it was almost suffocating in this car.

“I killed someone, I didn’t mean to but I did, and then he forced me to help get rid of the body after I came to…” I replied quietly, remembering after he had I swallowed hard, pushing the painful memories away and focusing on the present.

“He also…”
