Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 40

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 40 – Something I’ve Never Shared LEO.

I agreed… I don’t know why I f*****g did… I just knew that she wouldn‘t betray my trust or mention it to others. She might be crazy, but she‘s my type of crazy, and the one I know who wouldn‘t do anything to hurt anyone on purpose, in serious matters anyway.

I mean I wouldn‘t put it past her to try to slit my throat in my sleep if I pissed her off but at the same time, I knew the type of things she‘d keep quiet…

5 I knew if she knew about the fact I‘m dying, she would try to do s**t even if it meant breaking a promise. But something like Corrado‘s truth… she wouldn‘t tell anyone.

Even Marcel didn‘t know and regardless of that truth, it changed nothing. I cleared the table off, taking a bottle of whiskey and two glasses to the lounge area.

As a werewolf, I know drinking did nothing to a pregnant woman, so a glass or two won‘t f*****g hurt.

Why did this feel too intimate?

I sighed remembering the vague memory from long ago, ‘Thank you, Weo‘ back at Alejandro‘s wedding…

Her shoe had slipped off, and I remember slipping it on for her. I remember thinking she was cute… Who would have thought, the confused little she–wolf would turn out to be mine. 7

I looked at the bottle in my hand, considering putting it away, only for the sound of a door shutting to reach my ears, followed by the sound of her heels on the floor, making me look up.

She came into view, stretching her arms, only to make her top ride up slightly, showing off a little more skin.

D**n, she looked so f*****g good…

Her eyes met mine and she seemed to become more serious, as she lowered them slowly. I was f*****g forgetting my own rules…

All I could see was her… 4 I was right, we should never be in a room alone together.

“Whiskey? Hmm maybe Corrado was right; it wasn‘t just him who wanted to spend time with me.”

She smirked as she came over before sitting on the sofa and crossing those s**y legs of hers. I poured two glasses, giving her an emotionless look “Don‘t kid yourself. I just need a drink if I’m going to spend another couple of hours with you. “I mocked arrogantly. She raised an eyebrow challengingly. “And here I was under the impression that you were super smart. I never knew whiskey could help take the edge off anything for a werewolf. If this was absinthe, I‘d get it.” She countered.

Was I f*****g losing my brain cells? 2

She wasn‘t f*****g wrong… But I blame her… She was the one who f****d with my head.

“It‘ll keep me occupied.” I replied sitting down, leaving a gap between us and trying not to stare at her legs.

She reached for the whiskey glass, and my gaze fell to the tattoo on her wrist —–the word‘ Strength‘.

It was as s**y as the rest of her. What I liked best was that she didn‘t need to try attention… Just like at the club, even with the strippers swinging on those poles, it was her who had caught my attention… Before I even knew who the f**k she was.

“Occupied by what? You aren‘t scared to be around me all alone, right?” She looked at me with those big eyes of hers, and I knew that she f*****g knew the effect she had on me… just the way I had an effect on her.

“Careful there, Little She–Wolf, you don‘t want to play with fire.” I warned, picking up my own glass and sitting back.

I knew she f*****g loved to play with fire…

I looked away, downing half my glass as she sipped on hers slowly.

“So, tell me about Corrado‘s Mama.” She said softly, turning so she was facing me, one of her legs now h****d behind the other.

Corrado‘s mother… It was obvious what she was thinking.

“There isn‘t really much to tell… it doesn‘t change anything.” She didn‘t respond, and I frowned deeply, remembering the past…

“I was in Germany, making allies and building relationships regarding work when I tracked down and found my mother’s pack, or at least what remained of it. She had actually come to England to study, ended up meeting Dad and her family never heard from her again… She was an Alpha‘s daughter… They had come to look for her, but they assumed she was dead feeling the pack link break. Her parents and brother were killed years ago when their pack was destroyed. Her nephew, Stefan Herrmann, a cousin of mine, he was the one I ended up finding but they were living like humans. There was only a handful of them left, his father had made an enemy with a neighbouring pack, and unlike here, where Alejandro does keep the rest of the packs under control, it was a f*****g mess over there. This enemy of theirs had murdered the rest of the pack, and he told me he wouldn‘t stop until they were all dead.” 2

I downed the rest of the glass, remembering that time. Once again, I failed…

“I told him I‘d help deal with the b*****d and they were welcome to come to England and join our pack or at least reside here until they were safe. He agreed as his mate was pregnant too.” . I looked at her and it was obvious she wasn‘t expecting this. What did she think, that I had gotten some random woman pregnant? I was f*****g careful, well I was until it came to her…

My gaze dipped to her stomach. It still felt f*****g surreal that she was pregnant.

“I was getting the necessary preparations made for their travel. The men and I would track down Karl. But then Stefan rang and told me that Adele had gone into labour. The phone was suddenly cut off, and I knew something was wrong. I got back there just in time to witness that b*****d killing them all… he didn’t even spare the children.” . I still remember the dead bodies… But it was nothing new… I was used to seeing the dead…
