Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 28

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 28 – Will You Believe Me

LEO.

Schurke Wolf.

My alias, the name the cartel world knew me by.

I ruled the United Kingdom from the underground, with ties and allies in Italy, Germany, and most European countries.

Power and money, I had it all.

The humans looked to their king and prime minister, and the supernatural species looked to Alejandro, but from the shadows, England was mine.

Humans worked for me, and although they didn‘t know who I was exactly, they sensed the power that I held. They could feel it when in my presence and knew I was not to be trilled with. I was feared by all, and there were not many who could look me in the eye.

My most trusted men from my pack were also part of my cartel, but I always made it clear, if they wanted to step back from the front lines, they were welcome too, because, in this world, death is always lingering above you. Luckily, being a werewolf made us pretty much invincible when it came to dealing with humans. But even then, the risk of the unknown was always there, and I did not want my people to be left without their mates because of my own ambitions,

Nothing happened without my knowledge, and if someone ever tried to double cross me, then I f*****g take care of them.

I now wore a dark grey suit, a black shirt and smart boots as I headed to one of my underground warehouses. The drugs had finally arrived, and I was here to take a look at them myself.

I was flanked by my most trusted; the Six as they were referred to. Ace, Shane, Dan, Jin, Li and Jax. I didn‘t trust easily but these six, I grew up with them, and I knew they were ideal for this job. They went by aliases here, just like most of us. Within the pack, we didn‘t really show that we talked much, I preferred not to mix the two identities. Only Ace and Jax lived at the pack, whilst the other four lived in the city.

I slowed down as I looked at the crates in front of me The Isn had been separated from the fruit they had been compiled with, and I looked at the endless packets in the assorted crates, letting out a low whistle.

We did it, one huge, risky, shipment but with the correct planned journey that I had mapped, they got into the UK without being discovered by border control. I crouched down by one of the crates, opening one of the clear packs and took a pinch in my fingers.

I sniffed it, it was clean. The very best that money could buy.

“Check every individual packet, and get it to Seven X. Open the market for our buyers a week from now.” I commanded, turning around.

Those who that was directed at knew the location of that site. The less who knew where I was keeping it, the better.

“Understood, we‘ve already begun getting everything in place.” Snider, one of my human Lieutenants spoke.

“Perfect.” I replied, about to say something else when I suddenly felt a wave of unease wash through me.

Something was wrong. I looked up sharply scanning the place, but it was completely secure, only a few I trusted were in here and it was heavy with security.

Check if this place is secure.‘ I commanded through the link.

A few minutes later they told me all was fine.

What was this feeling?

“Everything ok Boss?” Snider asked.

“Get them to Seven X now, via separate routes as planned.” I said, pocketing the packet I had opened.

“Understood!” He moved away and I took my phone out. No phones worked in here and I wasn‘t about to lower my defences. Was something wrong at home?

Azura came to my mind and that unease grew.

Noir, call Emmet.‘ I commanded one of the men who was standing guard outside.

‘Yes, boss.‘

‘He isn‘t answering Alpha.‘ He said after a moment.

‘Fine.‘ I frowned. That feeling – wasn‘t going away, and I wondered if something had happened to her.

Had that b*****d found a way into the pack?

“I‘m leaving, take care of the rest.” I told the Six before I walked past them.

As much as I wanted to oversee this myself, I had to go back. I needed to make sure she was f*****g ok. Stepping out into the underground carpark, I got into my car, commanding my driver to get moving and closing the screen between us so he couldn‘t overhear, before ringing Eric.

“Hey Alpha.”

“Where are you?” I asked coldly.

“I uh, was just at Emmet‘s floor and was heading down now. everything ok?”

He sounded tense.

“How about you answer that?”

He sighed. “Emmet told you?”

“Emmet didn‘t even answer my call. What the f**k is going on?”

“He and Azura, the visitor, got into a physical fight.”

Fight.

A flash of anger rippled through me and my eyes blaze steel blue.

Drive faster.‘ I growled to the driver through the link.

“Details.” My voice was calm, but anger was pulsating through me.

“I don‘t know the details, but Emmet said she insulted you and this pack. It got physical and she did a number on his face whilst he also landed a few on her. They were both pretty bruised up… But he shouldn‘t have hit her.” His voice was quiet in that last sentence.

No he f*****g shouldn‘t have.

My eyes blazed, my heart was thundering, and the anger that was raging through me was blinding.

Bruised up.

“Alpha?”

I swallowed hard, ending the call.

“Stop the car.”

He instantly braked, and I got out just as he opened his door quickly.

“Boss, is everything ok?”

I didn‘t reply, getting into the driver‘s seat and slamming the door shut behind me. I started the car, hitting the gas as I picked up speed.

He shouldn‘t have touched her.

I don‘t give a f**k what she said, she was there under my f*****g protection.

My head was f*****g pounding with uncontrollable rage that I was trying to control, so I didn‘t end up f*****g ripping the steering wheel right off.

Trying to comprehend what Eric had said.

Azura wasn‘t the type to insult our pack, she‘s never looked down on us or me for that matter. Sure, she

lost her temper, but that was if she was triggered, which meant Emmet must have said something.‘ His hatred for the elite was not something I was f*****g blind to. He was one of the few who understood my hatred… but if that was the case, it meant he must have found out exactly who Azura was.

I was driving this thing as fast as it would f*****g go, a blur in comparison to everything around me.

Tell me exactly what happened.‘ I commanded Eric the moment I was in range.

‘Sure, I found them around the side of the apartment block when Azura was on top of him ready to punch him and I broke them apart… ‘He began to explain.

It took me less than half an hour to get back, half the time it should have f*****g taken. Getting out, I headed upstairs and into my office, pulling my jacket off.

‘She…?

She what?‘ I asked coldly.
