Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 81

80. His Dilemma

AZURA.

It was a not so powerful, but still a clear knock of panic.

“Mommy! Daddy! There’s an emergency! Daddy!” Corrado’s panicked voice came, sending a rush of worry through me. 1

I jerked back, as Leo sat up and quickly got out of bed, yanking his pants up. He rushed to the door, pulling it open.

My heart thudded as I climbed out of bed, wondering what had happened as Corrado ran in. His eyes wide with terror, his pyjama top a little tight on his belly as he climbed onto the bed, clapping both hands on his cheeks, as he stared at us both with an expression of clear horror on his face.

Leo smoothly sat down, placing a pillow in his lap.

“What’s wrong my little cherub?” I asked, crossing my legs and pulling him into my lap.

He shook his head, his little heart pounding. “I woke up and had a bad thought!”

“A nightmare?” Leo asked.

“Oh no Daddy, I was awake, and I remembered that Lucy from school kissed me yesterday! What if we made a baby? I don’t want to be a Daddy!” His eyes were wide with terror as he stared at us both. 12

Leo’s eyebrows shot up and I couldn’t help but cackle. “Oh my goddess, you are so cute!”

“Mommy! This isn’t funny, I want to be a big brother, not a Daddy and I don’t want to live with Lucy!”

“Then don’t go around kissing girls.” Leo frowned, “That’s what happens when you don’t act your age.” 2

“Oh, don’t be mean to him.” I snickered; Corrado crossed his arms clearly not happy with either of us.

“This is an emergency!” He declared.

“Look kiddo, remember there has to be a certain time of the moon cycle too? It wasn’t yesterday, so you’re all safe! But no going around and kissing people yet. You’re still too little.” I squeezed this bundle of adorableness, feeling all fuzzy and warm.

Gosh, I love this kid.

“Oh… so I won’t be a Daddy. Thank the goddess.” He said, heaving a big sigh and shaking his head slowly. “Stupid Lucy.”

“You don’t kiss girls then call them stupid.” Leo added.

‘Sounds like someone I know.’ I said through the link earning myself a look.

Corrado slumped back against my chest. Oh, I was so scared, I promise next time she tries to kiss me I will not let her.”

“Sounds like a plan.” I smiled down at him and gave him a soft kiss on his juicy little cheek, just as the little one inside of me kicked.

Leo leaned back, watching us, a soft smile on his face.

Our eyes met as the sun began shining through, casting a warm glow across his face.

Did I ever say how beautiful he looked when he smiled like that?

He was my angel, just as I was his devil.
