Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 10

10. Struggles AZURA. 

He had a family... 

I stared at the marble tiles of the shower walls, letting the water pour down my body. 

Nikki is his woman, and the boy... 

I closed my eyes, resting my forehead against the cool wall. 

He had a son...

But... I made sure I had an alibi... 

Hmm, something wasn‘t right. 

No wait, oh my god, they must have realised I emptied the pot of worms on that dumb boy’s head! But he was calling me names! No, wait... What if they realised I‘m the one who made Jayce and Theo flood the bathrooms? Or wait, what if it– !
