Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

7. Not the Plan 

Azura. 

“A holiday?” Dad asked concerned. 

It was the following day, and we were over at Liam‘s. 

Katara was playing on the floor, her blonde hair pulled into two pigtails, whilst her cerulean blue eyes watched me curiously. She may be seven, but she was quite small for her age. Despite her strength and determination, she was a minuscule–sized princess. 

“I don‘t think you should be going alone.” Jayce added. 

I frowned, planting my hands on my hips. “Say‘s who?” I asked. “Say‘s logic and the situation.” He shot back. Moody little git. I wonder what he‘d say if he knew I was pregnant, but I am not going 

to listen to a thirteen–year–old, who is meant to be my subordinate, tell me what I should and shouldn‘t be doing. 1 

“He ain‘t wrong.” Theo added with a cocky grin. “Besides, you just get in trouble every damn time.” 

“Boys, go outside. Now.” Raven ordered, frowning at her sons. 

“We are only saying it because we care for her.” Carter added, making me sigh. 

“I am going somewhere so I can just have a break from everything... I need this.” I persisted, looking at Mama and Dad. 

“She‘s right.” Mama replied to my relief. “But I’m not sure I want you going alone, maybe Dante could.” 

“I am not taking Dante, I don‘t need my nephew babysitting me.” I replied, rather offended. 

That pup was a day younger than me! “He‘s stronger than you.” Theo added oh so very helpfully. 

“Oi! I helped change your diapers, show some respect!” I growled, grabbing a cushion and hitting him over the head with it. He just caught it, smirking as Ares shook his head and Liam sighed, running a hand down his face. 

“Be careful, Theo!” Raven warned, I knew she was worried for my baby. 

My baby... it still felt weird to say that... Leo‘s baby... 

It hadn‘t really hit what this would mean... my dreams... my plans... 

Well, they were all kind of gone the moment Judah fucked me over.

If you go to him, yeah he will manage to kill me. Of course. But will he be able to stop me from spreading the images I have of you and your precious little friends?

I had tried. The only problem is, I didn‘t even have anything belonging to him to even see if I can have a witch do a locator spell. I’m so screwed. “Now how about the first favour?” He smirked,
