Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 93

92. Girls Night

AZURA.

“Just say hi, trust me.” I smirked, watching Leo observe Skyla sharply.

“I’ll fucking pass.” He replied cockily, making Malevolent hiss and I gently tug Skyla back, feeling her aura growing.

“When did you get here?” I asked, trying to diffuse her rising temper.

She blinked and shook her head, her eyes returning to their vibrant green. “Not long ago, it was supposed to be a surprise. Kat wanted to jump you, and go surprise! But then when we were waiting for you guys to return and I saw you two might just… you know, smooch- gross, so I decided to interrupt.” She said, pulling me inside as I stroked Malevolent, who purred with approval.

“I see. Hey Malevolent, dare I ask what you have been up to?”

“Oh, the usual.” Skyla smirked just as Marcel and Kataleya came into the hall.

Unlike Skyla, who was in leather pants, high heels, and a crop top, Kat was wearing a chiffon floral dress up to her knees with long flowing sleeves. She was the opposite of Sky who was the slimmest of us, with washboard abs, Kat was a lot curvier having gotten it from her Mama and I think the Rossi genes if Raihana was anything to go by, with big breasts and an ample ass. And unlike the two of us, she preferred to wear clothes that covered her up. She was around the same height as Kia, or maybe even a little taller now. Her hair was super long too, reaching below her waist. Our perfect, pure-hearted princess! 2

“Hey, Azura.” She smiled at me as she came over and I closed the gap between us, hugging her tightly.

“Kat, how are you?”

She smiled softly and nodded. “I’m good.”

“Great.” I smirked as I stepped back, and she turned to Leo, confident that he’d be nicer to her than he was to Skyla.

“Hello, Leo.” She greeted in her soft voice.

“Hey, good to see you.” He said coldly, holding his hand out to her.

Formal, but it was a start. She smiled, taking it and he gave it a quick shake, glancing down at Malevolent who had jumped out of Sky’s arms, and was now circling him.

“I can’t believe you two are here.” I said, not able to hide my happiness. It was the first time since I got pregnant that I could just talk to them in person.

“Yeah, me too, never thought the Sangue pack would let me in… So, girls’ night?”

Skyla asked, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Leo. “Or will Weo here be too scared to sleep alone?”

Leo clenched his jaw “Fucking no, but if I want my mate by my fucking side, I’ll get her.” He shot back cockily, and I walked over to him, locking my arms around his neck.

‘She’s got a mouth on her. Ignore her.’

He looked down at me, raising a brow. ‘I also have a fucking mouth that really doesn’t give a fuck to reply.’ He replied arrogantly.

“This is so weird, but maybe in a good way, you two actually go well together. Even though he’s an ass.” Skyla remarked, watching us.

“Yeah?” I asked, tugging Leo down and kissing his lips softly. He kissed me back, making Marcel chuckle and I was sure it was because Kataleya probably got embarrassed, but I was far too consumed by the taste of Leo’s mouth and his touch, to focus. I moved back slowly, looking

into the eyes of my handsome mate.’ Mind if I crash with the girls tonight?’

‘Do I fucking mind? Yeah, I fucking do, but go ahead, you ain’t fucking seen them in a while, I’ll be fine. Maybe I’ll’go hang with the boys. We could use a break.’

‘Sounds like a plan.’ I replied. Leaning up, I kissed his jaw, hearing the light patter of a child’s footsteps.

“Mommy! Daddy!” A not-so-happy Corrado’s voice came.

I moved away from Leo as I looked at our son standing there, hands on hips and a frown on his little face. “What’s wrong, baby?” I asked, going over to him and crouching down. I kissed his cheek.

“You have spent all day with Daddy, but you come home and kiss again. What about me?” He said, making me feel a sliver of guilt rush through me.

“Of course, you’re number one! I needed to kiss Daddy because he will be going out tonight whilst we will be having a sleepover with your… aunties?”

“Daddy huh…” Sky smirked, earning a glare from me, as Marcel cleared his throat. “Oh, and the little minion can call me Sky. I’m too young to be an aunt.”

I nodded. “Understood, from my side. You two work out as cousins, anyway.”

Corrado looked confused, and I couldn’t

deny that it was pretty confusing. We were all just somehow linked.

“I like aunty.” Kataleya said, smiling at him. Corrado smiled back shyly.

“She’s so pretty Mommy.” He whispered, making Kataleya blush and Leo raise an eyebrow.

“Yeah, she’s your dad’s cousin.” He said pointedly as Marcel chuckled.

“Well, let’s get to dinner.” He said before saying something to the twins, but I was too busy staring at my mate. I couldn’t help but smile. After all, he had just called her his cousin. Our eyes met, and he raised a brow, and all I wanted to do was kiss him all over again…

It was pretty late, and we were in the guest room that held two double beds.

Corrado was fast asleep whilst we three girls were in our pyjamas, an oversize hoodie and Kataleya was in her satin pink pyjamas. She was now braiding her long hair as we chatted. We hadn’t been able to speak about much when Corrado was awake, but now that he was asleep, the conversation got deeper.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and I called enter. Winona stood there, holding a tray of snacks and hot drinks.

“Oh thanks, Winona, you didn’t need to.

Guys, this is Winona, Corrado’s Nanny and a dear friend. Winona, Marcel’s nieces, Skyla, and Kataleya.” I introduced them as she put the tray down.

“Nice to meet you.” Winona said, smiling at them both.

“Nice to meet you too. Thank you for these.” Kataleya replied, as Skyla simply smirked slightly.

“You should join us.” I offered but she shook her head, casting a glance at Corrado.

“No, you girls talk. Is he ok here?” She asked.

I nodded, patting the blanket over the boy next to me. “He’s fine.” I replied, smiling down at him.

“Ok, goodnight, if you need anything let me know, I’ll still be awake.” She offered before leaving the room and closing the door after her.

Skyla let out a low whistle once she was gone. “Damn, she’s hot.” She said, making me smirk. 1

“Yup, she is,” I replied back as Kataleya shook her head.

“Sky, you can’t keep eyeing up everyone.” She whispers as if someone might hear.

“How old is she?” Skyla asked, raising her eyebrows suggestively, making me snicker.

“Too old for you. Turn eighteen first. Plus, I don’t think she’s into girls.” I pointed out. Skyla shrugged, dropping onto her stomach.

“Well, I like a blond.” Skyla didn’t really label herself but I would say she was pansexual and had dated both genders over the years. And was probably one of the most experimental people I know.

However, thanks to her own control issues, she didn’t really stick to a serious relationship.

I know she was struggling more than she’d ever expressed, but she didn’t really let anyone in either, always saying she was fine. Which, in turn, got her into shit at the academy.

“So, how’s the pregnancy going?”

Kataleya asked, standing up, “Can I listen to the heartbeat?”

“Sure.” I replied, relaxing back as she hurried over and placed her hand on my stomach, smiling happily.

“I can’t believe you are going to be a

Mommy,” She whispered in awe, placing her ear against my stomach.

She would make a good Mama too. She loved kids.

“Make sure it’s a little devil.” Skyla added, rolling onto her back and staring at the ceiling.

“And how do you expect me to do that?” I raised an eyebrow. “Besides, it’s mine and Leo’s. It is bound to be crazy.”

“Well technically, that’s not how it works.” Skyla said, sliding her head off the bed, so it was hanging upside down. Do you know the gender yet?”

“No, and we don’t plan to find out.” I replied, caressing my stomach.

“I think that’s beautiful; a surprise is always nice.” Kataleya replied, picking up a truffle from the tray as she settled on the floor between the two beds, leaning against my bed, her ankles crossed in front of her. Trust Kat to wear toe rings too. The girl loved her jewellery and stuff.

Skyla nodded, “Mm… so tell me, it’s been rough, right? With everything with the fucking dipshit?”

“Yeah, he’s really fucked stuff up. He even killed two of Leo’s closest friends.” I sighed heavily. “I can’t wait for the day when he’s gone. I just… I hate him. I want him dead. Is that so wrong to think like that?”

“Not at all Zu, after everything he’s been doing… I’d want him dead, too.” Her voice darkened, her eyes flashing. Does Grandad know? Or Mama Red? About him and everything?” Skyla asked, now flipping onto her stomach.

“No, but I plan to tell them tomorrow.

They’re going to be here early tomorrow.” I exhaled. “I fucked up.”

Skyla didn’t respond, her eyes shadowing as she became lost in thought. “We all mess up Azura, but the main thing is trying to do the right thing, and you are doing that.”

Plus, admitting to your mistakes.”

Kataleya said, tilting her head up and giving me a gentle smile.

I nodded, my eyes falling to the necklace that she still wore to this day.

She saw me looking and leaned forward, taking a mug of hot chocolate, smoothly arranging her hair in front of her shoulder, hiding it from view.

“Yeah… I guess… Doesn’t make it easier… but you know that feeling I had inside of me… like not belonging… that rage… I mean you know when I just lost my shit. Leo, he can deal with that. It’s so damn weird that he can diffuse me so easily.

“The mate bond. Guess I need my mate to show the hell up and help me. If they don’t end up rejecting me, that is, or I don’t end up killing them accidentally…”

Sky muttered, pulling a face.

I watched her, concerned, “Still struggling to control it?”

She sighed. “Yeah, I mean, it isn’t easy”

“I know Dante never really figured it out but how are you even possible?” I looked

up at her and our eyes met. “Like there’s only ever supposed to be one at a time alive and even then centuries apart.” 2

She shook her head. “Yeah, but who knows, especially since there’s no record of a female.”

Kataleya nodded. “Don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re the first female Lycan, Sky, the very first one.”4
