LEO.

It had shaken me when she had unknowingly let her barrier down. The sheer level of desperation, fear, pain, and agony when I rejected her and then walked away from her hit me hard…

So f**king hard.

I have not felt such an intense level of pain since I was a child, but knowing this was her feelings, made it a thousand f**king times harder.

She had been unable to breathe as she clutched at her neck, trying to survive the violent pain that had torn through her. It f***king killed me to see things from her eyes, making me hate the fact that I did that to her. Seeing her crumble to the floor, as she watched me walk away was f**king ruthless.

I had broken her and weakened her wolf right after taking everything from her… I had done the very same thing Rayhan had.I promised her something only to rip it away from her the very next. The heartbreak, the fear, and the sadness as she realised what happened consumed me with guilt. The vulnerability as she realised that she wasn‘t wanted, wondering what she had done wrong? Nothing, she had f**king done nothing wrong. I had blamed her for something that was not even linked to her, and nothing I did could turn back time.

She was so f**king strong, but inside that tough shell, and behind that ‘devil don‘t care attitude was a vulnerability that had been hammered on all her life and I… I had f**king hurt her.

F***k How do I process that? How do I forgive myself when I refused to believe Rayhan deserved forgiveness?

Everyone says if you make a mistake and acknowledge it, you deserve forgiveness and a second chance… But if I couldn‘t forgive Rayhan, then I couldn‘t suddenly just change my tune to make myself feel better. I promised her I‘d talk to Rayhan, and I will, but it didn‘t mean I‘d forgive myself for that brutal rejection.

There were some things that were just not forgivable, and what I did was one of those

I had my walls up since then, not knowing how to process it all. Once we had got off the call, I first had her take an Xray to make sure he had no tracer on her, luckily it was all clear. I had then given her a small pair of stud earrings, with a tracker in one, and a camera with a microphone in the other.

Calling Winona to keep an eye on Corrado, I grabbed a jacket with a hood and changed into some black sweatpants before heading down to my cave with Azura. “Here.” I held out a bulletproof body suit, something that I had worked on myself. The material felt similar to a diving outfit, more flexible and easier to wear than bullet–proof vests.

She looked at the full black suit and raised an eyebrow.

“What is this?”

“Wear it underneath your clothes, it‘s bulletproof, I don‘t want to take any chances.” “First you told me to get some baggy clothes, now this?” She asked, taking it and raising an eyebrow.

“Yeah, because the baggier your clothes, the more you can hide.” I replied with a pointed look, as I looked down at her, I loved her in that skirt…

She crossed her legs, making my eyes flash, and I looked up only to realise she was trying not to smirk. 1

‘‘You were saying?” She teased. “You already f**king heard me. Go Change.”

She smirked, turning and strutting off.

I wanted to see that a*s naked and as much as I wanted to bury my c**k in her, I knew it was a f**king dream that won‘t come true. She looked over her shoulder at me almost as if she knew where I was looking, but she was no longer smirking. A glimmer of confusion flashed in her eyes before she entered the room and shut the door. 1

Walking over to the far wall, I accessed a built–in touch screen. After my thumbprint and a spoken password in voice recognition, it opened to reveal a room full of weapons that I had created and improved.

Judah was f**cking dead.

I crossed the room and unlocked one of the lockers on the far wall and took out a box of bullets. They were lethal… Although I was still working on perfecting the formula of the poison that I had created, it would still do the job perfectly. These bullets were meant to kill instantly, and although I had never tried them… I was certain they‘d work. The only thing left to perfect was to make sure that the substance did not remain in the body once it had shut down. I was about to grab a few items for Azura when I froze and looked down sharply. 1

Killed instantly…

My heart raced as I mind–linked Dan.
