Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 94

93. Powers & Troubles

AZURA.

Skyla sighed and nodded “Yeah well the Moon Goddess has a crazy mind, I

wonder what she’s up to… I’m dealing though, so how are you adapting here?” She asked, changing the subject.

“Great, Leo’s friends and the pack are really welcoming. You know…” I began, my heart beating as I wasn’t sure if I should mention it… “Leo… he’s dying.”

Both girls looked at me, shock clear on their faces as Skyla sat up, her eyes blazing that deep plum colour once again. “What do you mean? Can Mama not fix

him?”

I shook my head. “Kia can’t heal what’s

gone.’

“Yeah… But there has to be a solution. I

…” Kataleya whispered, shaking her head

worriedly.

“There is, I can heal him.” I said. I sat up as both girls looked at me questioningly.

“What do you mean?” Skyla asked as Malevolent jumped into her lap, purring. She stroked her, watching me intently.

I took a deep breath. “I have the moon fire too… or as Dante put it, I am the heart of fire.” I said, closing my eyes as I summoned my powers forth raising my hand. I heard Kataleya gasp as I opened my eyes, feeling Skyla’s aura swirling around her as they stared at my hand where I was holding a shimmering flame-

like glow of silver and gold intertwined.

“That’s…. incredible. But… how are your doing that… you seem to have more

control over it than Mama and Uncle.”

Skyla breathed in awe, as Kataleya

nodded.

“I don’t know, maybe mine isn’t as

intense as theirs. I realised that emotion

helps, or having to act on the spur of the moment. I was talking to Kia, and she

told me you don’t learn these things, and that they’ll come to me. I hope so because there’s no guidebook on how exactly it works or how I’ll heal Leo.”

“So, you can heal though?” Kataleya asked. 3

“Well… I can heal all, whatever that means, but only on a full moon when the

moon is at its peak. So, I guess that’s twelve times a year for a short period of time.” I explained.

Kataleya’s chest was rising heavily, and due to her ability where you couldn’t really sense her presence, I couldn’t hear her heartbeat, but if I could I was sure it would be racing, and I had a good idea of what was going through her mind. s

“You can heal anything?” She asked softly.

“Aside from death, I think… Leo’s body

has begun shutting down. So, I think I can regenerate what had already shut down… or something.” I explained.

She nodded slowly, but the cup that she held was trembling slightly, and she slowly placed it on the floor, clenching her fists.

Kataleya was studying advanced bionic engineering, trying to create a limb that could adapt to a shift and manipulate into a shape suitable for wolf form. I was certain Leo could also help her with that… and if she ever needed me to help her… I would. 2

I didn’t mention him, but I knew he would always remain on her mind. After

all, she still wore his picture around her neck to this day.

“So… tomorrow, are you ready to break necks?” Skyla asked, glancing at her

sister with hidden concern.

“There’s only one man’s attention I want

tomorrow.” I replied, and she groaned.

“Damn, you’re in love, I don’t know if I should think it’s sweet or if I should gag. I mean, it’s obvious you two have each other’s tongue down your throat twenty- four-seven.” She shuddered.

“Hey in my defence, we had a lot going on, so no, I don’t get to have his tongue or you know, down my throat as much as I would want.”

“Azura!” Kataleya pouted, blushing profusely. “I wish Song was here!”

“Ah yeah, the two virgins. But Song is not innocent.” Sky snickered, “So I know

Leo’s my cousin, but since we didn’t really grow up around him, tell me is he big? I mean he probably is. Apparently, Rossis are meant to be well endowed,”

“And how do you know that?” Kat whined, not happy with the direction of

the conversation.

“Really?” Skyla asked sceptically as she cuddled her cat. “Everyone knows.” She shrugged and I smirked.

“I don’t want to picture Rossi’s bits! Yucky!”

“Well… they ain’t wrong. At all…” I said, bursting out into laughter with Skyla, as Kataleya sunk to the ground, covering her face in embarrassment. 4

Leo’s sexy, shirtless state came to my mind and my heart skipped a beat. I

missed him being here by my side. Yeah, I was crazy in love.

I was about to mind-link him when I

realised the walls were down. I so hope he

didn’t hear all that!

Oh Goddess!

“Do men talk about women the way

women do?” I mused.

“I think they do, but maybe not about

their mates in so much detail, as they are possessive as hell.” Skyla shrugged, as she picked up her mug and drank her hot chocolate. “But men are dumb.”

“Not all men.” Kataleya corrected.

“The majority.” Sky disagreed.

I placed my mug down snuggling under the covers next to Corrado. We carried on talking for a while. Discussing our dresses for tomorrow. Winona had picked out several for me and I had picked the one I liked best. It was a lie if I said I wasn’t nervous. Becoming Luna was a big deal, and I wanted to look perfect.

Soon Kataleya got up and got into bed

next to Skyla, as we continued to talk

about everything from how stuff was at

the academy, to the drama there. The

latest of who was dating who. The school

year would be over in a couple of months,

and then next year was their final.

This… eating chocolate, laughing, just

chatting…

I really needed it.

“Thanks for coming girls… I appreciate it.” I said softly as sleep began to

overcome me.

“Anytime…” I heard Kataleya murmur, and I looked over to see Skyla was fast asleep already. Malevolent curled up in front of her, fast asleep as well.

‘Goodnight Baby.’ I said through the link, realising Leo had his walls up, I pushed through, and it wasn’t hard to do. I wondered if he had those walls up because I just couldn’t keep mine up…

‘Night Beautiful, get some rest… because you know what you promised me tomorrow night… You won’t be sleeping.”
