Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 26 – Coming Clean

AZURA.

I stayed in the apartment not wanting to run into anyone else, andit was so boring with nothing to do.

Winona had come with lunch, and then again for dinner.

It was obvious from the way she was looking around that no one knew I was here.

Guess dickface wanted no one to know.

I was tempted to ask her if I could see Corrado, but after last time…

I wasn’t sure Leo would appreciate it.

So here I was…

wondering what I should do…

Marcel.

knew who my mate was, and it had come to a point where I knew I couldn’t keep lying to my family…

I stared at the tablet that sat on the bed, then glanced at the time.

Just past ten…

Katara would be put to bed by now…

Should I video call? My fingers itched before I took a deep breath, thinking to just go ahead with it.

Marcel knew, and Leo didn’t want anyone here knowing, didn’t mean my parents couldn’t know.

If he pushed for the X-ray, then he’d find out about the baby too…

Before I ended up changing my mind, I quickly set up a video call between Kiara, Raven and Mama, knowing their mates would be there too.

Goddess…

here goes nothing.

Kiara was the first to accept the call.

“Hey Azura! It’s been a while.

How are you?” She asked with a smile on her face.

Kia, my sister, was the younger twin with Liam being older.

She had shoulder-length sandy blond hair, with gorgeous eyes that were sage green with a blue ring around them.

Plump lips and a gorgeous curvy figure to complete her goddess-like looks.

She was a blessed wolf with healing abilities as well as the queen.

“I’m ok, how are you guys?” I asked as a shirtless Alejandro came into view.

Even though he was now in his fifties, he was still as hot as ever ifnot getting hotter with age.

4 Alejandro Rossi, the tattooed Lycan king who was also Leo’s uncle.

This was going to be fun.

“Good until you decided to f*****g interrupt.” Alejandro remarked, sitting behind Kiara with ease, his legs oneach side of her and wrapping his arms around her tightly.

6 “I swear Alejandro, with age you are getting crankier by the second.

Poor Kia, stuck with a grumpy old man.” I taunted.

“Ignore him.

He may be acting like this but when he saw the call was from you, he came over rather quickly.” Kiara said, smiling slightly.

Just then, Mama and Raven joined the call.

“Hmm, of course, everyone loves the Westwood Devil.” I declared with a flick of my hair.

“Or I’m here to see the drama unfold.

There’s no f*****g chance you ain’t been up to something.” Alejandro replied, smirking.

1 Urgh if only he knew…

Would he be smirking if he realised it’s his d**n nephew who screwed me over? a “Hey, guys.” Liam said andI smirked at them, from Raven’s messy hair…

I had a feeling my brother and she had just done the dirty.

“Hey, Zu!” Raven said, as everyone exchanged greetings.

“You know I’m glad you video called, we’ve been worried.” Dad said quietly, I knew he was upset withme.

I nodded, giving him an apologetic smile and one of my best doe-eyed looks..

“Not to mention we can’t even get through to you, Azura what are you doing out there?” Mama asked, frowningslightly.

“Ok, so I wanted to talk to you all together.

Please hear me out before any of you unleash hell.” I said sitting forward.

My heart was racing as I saw Dad’s eyes flash, and Liam and Alejandro were watching me

intently.

Mama was frowning, and Raven and Kiara looked concerned.

Come on Azura, tell them.

“Ok first of all…
