Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 3

3. His Dangerous Temptation

 

AZURA.

 

I moved back, my heart thumping. He must have heard me, he must have smelt me.

 

What the hell do I do?

 

Judah was dangerous, but the man standing a few metres from me screamed of power and danger of a far higher calibre.

 

I needed to get out of here before he saw me, but how do I do that?

 

 

“We can continue this another day. Reschedule.” His deep velvety voice, that sent shivers of desire through me, came.

 

Oh fuck, that voice was hot.

 

Come on Azura, breathe steadily and focus.

 

“Ah, of course.”

 

“Absolutely.”

 

I didn’t dare move as I heard the rest recede, but my mate remained. The doors shut and I closed my eyes in defeat, he had remained.

 

“Why don’t you step out from your hiding spot.” His voice came. I closed my eyes, any dream I had that I would be able to escape from him was gone.

 

Slowly I stood up and turned, staring at the man before me. If I had thought he was the epitome of sexiness and dominance before, he was a thousand times hotter when you saw him properly. His scent intoxicated me, and I felt lightheaded as he slowly removed his shades and I looked into the pair of coldest ice-blue eyes I had ever seen. Eyes that trailed over me, but gave away nothing.

 

He was tall, maybe around six-foot-six. His muscular arms strained with his bulging biceps, I noticed that he had three piercings in his right ear and one in his left.

 

“Who would have thought I’d be given a human…” He muttered so quietly I almost didn’t hear him.

 

“I’m not human.” I replied coldly.

 

He looked up into my eyes with a glimmer of interest in those cold ones.

 

“Then join me for a drink.”

 

It wasn’t an offer, but a command.

 

The very temptation to turn and run away from him consumed me, but I couldn’t. As much as I hadn’t wanted to find my mate, the curiosity to know what kind of person the goddess had made for me won, and I found myself nodding.

 

He came over to the bar, I had to admit that his posture and attitude spoke volumes. This was a man who knew what he wanted, and he got it.

 

The temptation to tell him about Judah and why I was up here almost overcame me, but I couldn’t, this was not his fight and he hadn’t asked why I was up here.

 

But something told me I had walked straight into the wolf’s den.
