Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Alpha Leo And The Heart Of Fire Chapter 108 By Moonlight Muse

108. When Together

LEO.

The pain that burns me is nowhere as strong

as the terror in my heart. Azura is in pain!

Slowly, the pain eases and my heart thumps

violently – terrified as I wait for the worst.

Please be ok… Fuck!

I wait with bated breath, but nothing happens, and the bond remains.

I close my eyes for a moment, trying to

collect my breath before glaring up at the

man before me.

“You… after everything… this is what you

do?” I hiss. “Where is Azura!”

“She’s gone. Her and Corrado both I’m

afraid.” Eric replies calmly.

My heart is thundering as I mind link the

others.

‘Code fucking red, it’s Eric. Li Sheng! From the hospital, get me the fucking injections of mine! Ace, contact the others, tell Alejandro that we’ve had a fucking break-in, Dad’s down… Azura and Corrado are gone.’ My

voice is strong, and as Alpha, I have to remain strong, but inside I am crumbling.

‘Ringing the Lycan King right now.’ Ace growls back.

‘Good. Azura’s wedding ring has a tracker.

Tell the other three to follow it. Send her

location to Alejandro and the Westwoods.’ I say through the link before I turn to Eric

once more.

“I won’t ask again! WHERE ARE THEY?!” I

thunder.

He swallows but keeps his calm and I’m in front of him in a flash, smashing him into the stairs behind him. “What did I ever

fucking do to you for you to betray me!”

My heart thumps and I know I need to go.

after Azura, but Eric is also my only path to

the truth.

“Everything.” He replies, the alpha command forcing him to speak.

A few of my warriors run in, as they head up

the stairs and spread across the mansion

and my gaze snaps to the woman who steps inside, covered head to toe in blood. She’s wearing one of Shane’s workout shirts and oversized pants. She’s covered in blood and cuts as she raises the gun she’s holding

before she spots me and lowers it.

“Alpha. I saw the Luna and Corrado being taken to the east side.” She says urgently

and for the first time in weeks I see that

spark of life in her eyes. ‘Several of the men have gone after her.’ 4

I nod, I have to go after them… I look down at Dad, bending down by his side. He’s dying, his heartbeat declining and I look

back at Kareena. 2

“Stay with him, Li Sheng will bring some injections, give him one, and if it doesn’t work… then another… do not exceed two,” I say, casting one look down at my father.

The fear and pain that he may die hits me hard.

I need you, Dad…

Why had I wasted so much fucking time in life? 4

“Got it.” She says, quickly pulling her shirt off and wrapping it around Dad’s largest wound as she rushes to feel his pulse.

She was- no, is one of our best and I just hope she realises that she can live on… but can one? Just thinking of losing Azura and my children is ripping me apart.

“Alpha…” Winona’s voice makes me look up and I turn to see she’s in a state almost as fucking bad as Dad. I don’t even know how she’s standing… Her hair is almost fully red,

and blood is seeping down from her hairline, covering her neck. Her arms and face are bruised and wounded in several places and she’s holding a dagger in her hand, one that is covered in blood. I don’t even know how she is able to stay standing despite all those injuries, but there is a determination in her. Her eyes are filled with regret and disappointment. “I’m sorry, I failed.” She whispers before her gaze falls to Dad and her eyes fly open in shock.

“No…” She runs over and falls to her knees by his side. 2

“No… no!” She sobs, cupping his face and I turn back to Eric who is trying to get to his feet.

“He’s still breathing.” Kareena reassures Winona, “We need a first aid kit and anything we can use to stem the bleeding.”

“Is he poisoned? Maybe some antidote, just in case! I’ll get whatever I can find!” Winona says, with worry and panic in her voice

before she runs from the room. Moving on pure adrenaline alone. 3

“Where are they?!” I hiss, grabbing Eric and punching him across the face. My alpha command rolls off me in waves.

“I don’t know!” He spits and I punch him again. I want to fucking kill him.

“I don’t have time for this. I’m taking you with me.” I snarl, grabbing him and yanking him across the floor just as Li Sheng runs through the doors, his heart is racing violently and to my surprise, Winona who has just returned with the first aid kit, grabs the injection the moment he reaches Dad’s body. She preps it quickly before plunging it

into Dad’s shoulder.

“Please be ok…” She whispers, brushing his hair off his face.

I frown slightly seeing that, strange…

Yeah, you got to fucking be ok. Get up, Dad…

I turn away, needing to go after Azura. Dad is in good hands.

“Here Alpha.” Someone passes me some

pants, but I don’t need them since I am going to shift.

“Lock this bastard up and make sure no one goes near him until I’m back!” I growl, throwing Eric down the steps. He hisses as

he hits the floor.

“It’s too late. They’ll be dead soon, and then you’ll know how it feels to have your family gone.” Eric spits.

I wanted to kill him. Right now… right here.

“Kill him Alpha.” Milo, the guard who had given me the pants, says, his eyes flashing.

“I would listen if I were you, Leo.” A voice I’m not expecting to hear, says. My gaze snaps up to Nikki who stands there, out of breath, clearly having run. “This is what I have been trying to tell you. If only you met

me!” 5

My eyes flash, and she continues. “One of your loyal followers asks me how I knew about Judah being Azura’s Ex and well… I never thought much of it but after that, I remembered I overheard Eric talking on the

phone.”

My anger only rises. “You could have told any of the fucking guards that! to pass on the message!” I hiss.

“I could have, but I didn’t trust them! Do you blame me?” She spits. “And maybe…” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She doesn’t end her sentence but I knew

what she was going to say. She had fucking

wanted to see me.

“You could have prevented this!” I snarl

venomously.

“NO! You could have if you just listened to me! I rejected him for you!” She cries out angrily. 6

I tense as my gaze dips to the man at the

bottom of the steps, my heart thudding at the realisation. Nikki’s mate… so for the last two years… he saw us together and bore it… I had been in a relationship with his mate.

“I never knew…” I say quietly, and Eric scoffs.

“Who cares though, right? Of course,

anyone would choose you over me… and I just had to watch…”

“Oh, shut it! You accepted the rejection

pretty fast!” Nikki lashes out.

I need to go after Azura… I don’t have time for this fucking shit.

“Marcel!” I hear Winona cry, and my heart thunders as I turn, looking back at the man on the floor, seeing him stir, and I close my eyes when I hear his heartbeat thud strong and steady. 3

He’s ok, thank fuck. 4

I’m about to walk down the steps when

suddenly there’s a blinding flash and

Delsanra, Alejandro, and Kiara appear in the middle of the garden. All eyes are on me and I realise I’m fucking naked…
