Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 32 – Losing It AZURA.

“I meant in a fight.” I muttered.

He raised his eyebrow.

“That‘s what I meant.” He remarked. Wait no he… “Is your mind always in the gutter or do I simply get to you?”

Of course, you do. You dmn annoying Rossi. “Don‘t get so full of yourself.” I scoffed. “Am I wrong?” “If I want my mind to be in the dmn gutter, I have every right to keep it there. I don‘t need anyone‘s approval.” I retorted, annoyed when he caged me between the worktop once more. “Even if it involves me?”

“Yes, because it‘s my mind, so whether I imagine you naked, or in a pair of neon pink boxers, that‘s my mind, my choice.” 4 “Oh? So if I imagine you naked, that‘s totally ok?” “Why, do you?” I challenged. 1 He didn‘t reply, his eyes trailing over me before they slowly flicked up to meet mine, and I knew I had gotten my answer. I saw him swallow, his eyes darkening when they skimmed to my lips. My entire body was reacting to his closeness. Even with the bond that was hanging by only a thread, only in need of a few words from me to break, I could still feel the intense pull that came with it…

“You broke up with Nikki.” I blurted out.

Wow nice going, Azura. 2 His eyes snapped to mine, and I felt him tense slightly. He suddenly moved back and turned his back on me.

“That‘s none of your concern.” His voice was hard, and I felt a pang of pain wash through me. So did he blame me for that? “I came here to apologise and that‘s what I‘ll do.” His voice was low as he turned back toward me, his gaze falling to my neck. “i’m sorry for marking you, and for rejecting you. I never should have done either.”

Those words cut like a knife, but I did my best to hide the emotions that were threatening to drown me. “Both?” I asked, raising an eyebrow.

His eyes met mine and he nodded.

“Yeah, both. I was clouded by my anger, and I was fighting myself and so I‘m fking sorry for fking up your life with what I did. I‘ve already begun working on tracking down this ex of yours and once I have… you can return home.”

“Got it.” I felt as if I had been thrown into a pool of icy water. “So, since you regret it all, i guess you regret fking me too.” I spat feeling my anger rising. “No. Why should I regret that?” His arrogance made my anger flare. Who the fk did he think he was?

I scoffed, closing the gap between us and shoving him, my heart was thundering and my head was beginning to squeeze as pressure began building. I was losing control of my anger “Why not? Because that didn‘t have any fking consequences?” I asked icily, glaring up at him. If only you fcking knew. I wanted a reaction; I wanted him to lose his sht so I could lose mine. “Calm down.” His icy–calm reply came. “Don‘t! Don‘t tell me to calm down. Do you know how I felt after being fked, marked, and then rejected! My wolf is still weakened! I don‘t feel her as strongly as I used to! I was in so much pain that I fainted and you left me! I gave you everything, yet you were ok to fk me even though you had a woman, making me feel even worse!” 1 He wasn‘t reacting, not even stopping me from attacking him. I continued to shove him, wanting to see him stumble. “Do you know how I felt when I had to beg someone to give me a phone so I could call my brother! Do you know how it felt to see the rage in his eyes and begging him not to fking find you because of who you were?!” His eyes flashed but he said nothing. “If you really regret marking me, then go mark someone else so I can have this off me!” I screamed, shoving him. “At least let me live my fking life without having this scr as a f*****g reminder of you!” Needing a way to unleash my anger, 1 extracted my claws, ready to plunge them into my own neck and rip off his mark, but before I could even dig my claws into myself, he had grabbed my hand, closing his large hand over mine and turning me. Pulling my back against his chest, his other arm tight around my waist as I thrashed around, my heart thundering. “Hush…” His voice was low, and even as I struggled against him, he refused to let me go “Don‘t tell me to calm down!” I hissed, trying to elbow him, but unlike Emmet, he was far stronger. “Listen to me Little She–Wolf… I only meant I didn‘t regret the rest of that night because it was fking perfect. But marking you… like you said, I ruined your life and I know I did, I fking did… and I regret the rejection because of the pain I put you through… I‘m sorry, I‘m fking sorry. I want to be a better person than them, but I fked up too… I‘m no better. This has nothing to do with you.” I stilled in his arms. You‘re wrong… it has everything to do with me… Nothing could break my spirit, but I was teetering on the edge of despair… I don‘t know what I wanted… but earlier… when I knew he had broken up with Nikki, 1 hadi subconsciously held hope… “It has everything to do with me… because of who I am, right?” I said quietly. His face was so close to mine, pressed against the side of my head, and I felt … broken. He remained silent for a moment. “You regret rejecting me because of the pain… but you still wouldn‘t accept me, correct?” He stayed silent and I got my answer. I sighed, pulling free from his hold. This time he let go of me and I turned, looking up at him blankly. “Just leave Leo. Your apology… isn‘t enough. Give me back my life, take this pain away, and remove this mark from my neck, otherwise, you can fking go to hell.” My voice was calm, yet it was laced with venom.

He didn‘t speak and I couldn‘t read his emotions. His gaze dipped to my neck for a second. Our eyes met before he turned away without another word. He left the apartment. The door shut behind him with a small snap that seemed to ring in the empty apartment. I turned away, gripping the worktop, my heart thundering as I tried to control my emotions. Regretted marking me… 5

Dikface.

I walked over to the sofa and sat down slowly.

It was my own fault for even allowing myself to lose control of my emotions. I don‘t know how long it took for me to calm down, but it was dark outside. I stayed sitting there glaring at the table. I unlocked the phone he had given me, my hand shaking with uncontrollable rage as I found Dante‘s number.

‘I want the necklace,‘ 1

He came online immediately, and I stared at the phone, my heart raging. I saw the message change to ‘read‘ but instead of replying, his call was incoming.
