Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

65. 65. Building Bridges 

AZURA. 

“Are you sure you‘re going to be ok?” Song asked me. 

I nodded, Mama had called earlier as well, I knew she was surprised that I was actually going to go see Atlas, but I could tell she was happy. When I told her that Leo and I had figured things out, she smiled and said; “That‘s my girl, get that man in line.” 

Goddess, she was a queen. “Yeah totally, he‘s just a guy.” I said shrugging, “Ok hun, if you‘re sure.” She replied, giving me a tight hug. I glanced at Kiara when I moved back. 

“You sure his mother isn‘t going to be around?” I asked, my voice sounding resentful despite not meaning to. Her eyes softened, and she nodded. 

“He doesn‘t live with her anymore, and I let him know you were coming.” She smiled gently, and I nodded. 

“Ok.” I said, shoving my hands into my pockets as I turned on my heels. 

“Are you sure you know the way?” 

“Yeah, I’ll ask someone if I can‘t find it.” I said before heading for the gates. 

It was late, but I knew he had work earlier, and if Leo could face Rayhan, then I certainly should be able to face this guy... I finally got there a good hour later, after loitering around the pack, and even ping to get a bottle of wine from one of the shops. 

I mean, I can‘t go empty–handed, right? I finally reached his apartment and rang the bell, taking a deep breath and hoping he didn‘t answer. 

The door opened a little too fast, considering I had just rung it. 

Was he waiting? 

I looked up at him, he was tall, over six feet, and he had dirty blond hair and light blue eyes. He was well built, but the first thing that came to my mind was that he looked a lot like ‘him‘. 

I have seen a picture of Fred, my sperm donor. Ok maybe they weren‘t that alike... but they had similarities... “Hey.” He spoke softly, almost as if he knew I was ready to run. I pressed my lips together, frowning deeply. “Hi.” I said, holding the bottle out without looking at him. I saw him smile from the corner of his eyes before he stepped aside and accepted it. 

“Come on in.” 

I don‘t want to. 

I didn‘t want to be here... 

I hesitated, before balling my fists and stepping inside. 

You just spend a little time... then you turn, and you leave. 

The moment I looked around I realised he wasn‘t just thinking this was a quick visit. On the coffee table in front of the corner sofa was a table laden with pasta, roast potatoes, and enchiladas. The place was clean, and a cinnamon and spice fragrance filled the air. 

The door shutting behind me, made me snap out of my thoughts. 

“Come on, take a seat and thank you for this.” He said, giving me a grin, as he raised the bottle. For a moment, he reminded me of Liam. 

Liam was my brother, Atlas wasn‘t.
