Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 49 – A Call

LEO.

She played me f***king dirty and left. But despite the f**king beast she awoke within me, it was her words that really got to me. ‘Although I’m not enough for you…‘

If I wasn’t half as stubborn as I f**king was, I would have told her the truth that that sh*t ain’t true… But yeah, that’s all there f**king was to it…

I felt lighter getting that over with, and it reminded me of the past when I at least had my father… It’s just a shame it’s too late for all of that to be back. Right?

I was delaying… I knew I was far past the stage of Kiara being able to help me, but I don’t think I wanted to hear it. Even if I already knew the truth.

I pushed the thought away thinking back to the moment between Azura and Corrado.

Corrado has only ever said ‘I love you‘ to three people before now; Dad, Winona, and me. It had hit hard… He had taken to her, I didn’t need any more f**king signs that she was meant for me.

That hatred I felt… even the word elites… it all seemed so f***king far in the past… I walked to the bottom of the garden of the mansion and pulled out my phone. Time to ring Alejandro. I smoked my cigarette while looking down at my phone. Although I did not want to hear his c*****y comebacks right now, I couldn’t delay it.

I found his number and hit call. He answered after a few rings.

“Leo.” His voice was level, yet it was obvious he was happy to get this d*mn call.

“Alejandro.” I replied.

“I’m getting lucky with all the calls. How are you?”

Not so f***king good.

“Perfect.”

“Good to hear. How’s your son, or should I say, my grandson?”

I frowned, obviously that wasn’t going to stay a secret forever.

“Stop acting like I consider you anything close to a father.” I replied icily, refusing to answer his question. “I called for a reason.”

“You always f***king do.”

Just get it over with Leo…

“Arrange a meeting at your pack with the Alpha of the Black Storm, I need to speak to him.” I said coldly.

There was a pause before I heard the sound of a cigarette being lit.

“With Rayhan… is everything ok?” He asked, concern now evident in his voice.

“Perfectly.” I replied.

“So you’re ready to talk to him.”

I did not want him thinking this sh*t was from me…

“I made a deal with Azura that we will both do what we don’t want to, she’ll talk to her brother Atlas Kamdon, in return.”

He let out a low chuckle.

“You two are f****king perfect together, if in that short time you both have gotten each other to do the two things both your families have been trying to get you to do. I’m f***king impressed.

Yeah, she got me to agree to sh*t I refused to for years. I know that, somehow. Even when I kept her at arm’s length…

“It was a deal, nothing to be so f***king impressed about.”

“Oh yeah? Well, it f***king worked. I’ll get that meeting sorted. How soon are you looking?”

“How soon can he f**king do it? I’m sure he’s either f**king too busy with his hair, or some other weird shit like his singing.” 7

The current song reminded me of Azura and me. I paused for a moment, the words resonating in my head.

Smoking just to forget life… We might just be dancing… dancing to forget…” Suddenly the night didn’t seem so bad… to spend it with my family… with her. Who knows if the chance will come again.

Although I wondered what exactly Marcel had planned, it wouldn’t stop me from at least relaxing a little.

Alejandro had replied saying he had scheduled the meeting for the day after tomorrow, but we were welcome to come earlier. Now that a date was f***king set I wasn’t looking forward to it.

I had just put my shoes on, deciding to deal with some emails one of the boys had sent me on my phone, when there was a knock on the door.

“I’m coming in!” Corrado said, trying the handle and running inside without waiting for a reply.

I raised an eyebrow as he stood there, hands on hips, looking me over.

“You look good, kid.” I said, he was dressed in black jeans, white blazer and a red shirt.

“Yes, Daddy but I need to check if you look good too! I saw Azura. She looked so beautiful.” He said dramatically, before glancing towards the door as if someone might hear him.

“Oh yeah?” I asked, f***king hating that my heart had to race.

What the F***k was I? A damn teen?

“Yes Daddy, but I can’t tell you what she’s wearing. It’s a surprise, so come on! We need to go down before Azura goes down!” He said, pulling at my arm.

I stood up not knowing if I should tell him that she was expecting… I knew he’d find out sooner or later, I just didn’t want him to hear it from someone else… How would I explain it to him? Life could be so damn complicated… and yeah, I f***king know half of it is my own f***king ego that made it harder. a

Too bad I ain’t f***king changing.

I left the room, allowing Corrado to think he was pulling me along. His little legs running to keep up with my stride as we made our way downstairs…
