1. 66. Knowing the Answer 

LEO. 

The office was tense and even Alejandro was dead serious, any sarcasm was gone as he stood there with arms crossed, watching me coldly. That was his concentrating expression. 

Azura was sitting on the armrest of the chair I was in, and Kiara told me to remove my shirt i pulled it off and Azura took it from me, holding it to her chest. I could hear her heart beating violently, although she was trying not to let it get to her. 

Kiara took a deep breath, a frown of concentration crossing her face as she knelt in front of me. Her eyes blazed purple, and for a split second, I was reminded of the flicker I had seen in Azura‘s eyes the other night. 1 

Usually, when your wolf comes to the front, if you watch carefully, or in my case, record it and slow down the speed just to observe it, you will see the wolf‘s eye colour bleed into yours. What just happened with Kiara‘s was like a flame spreading from the bottom of the iris. 

I was brought out of my thoughts when Kiara placed her hands on my shoulders. Her frown deepened as she ran her hands down my chest, my flanks, and parts of my stomach as she tried to assess the extent of the damage. 

I heard her heart skip a beat, I kept my face a mask of indifference as I knew what was coming.. She would try and fail, but you know what is going to be fucking hardest? When I‘m going to have to act like it‘s fine and watch the emotion in their eyes... A coolness began spreading from her hands, and I felt it wash through me, an edge of the pain seemed to lift a little, but I knew she wasn‘t succeeding... 

She didn‘t stop, her purple aura wrapping around us both to the extent that Azura was being pushed away, but she refused to let go of me, her arm firmly around my sh ters. 

Kiara bit her lip, her forehead now covered with a layer of sweat as she poured everything she had into me. 

“What‘s happening?” Alejandro asked, his voice dark and cold as he looked between us. 

Kiara wasn‘t able to reply as she looked into my eyes. A trickle of blood ran from her nose, and her eyes were glittering with tears as I felt another strong surge of intense power rush through me. 

But we both knew it was futile. 

The blood wasn‘t stopping and even Azura was beginning to worry, Kiara‘s entire body was tense, her brows furrowed as she gave it her all. 

She was going to fucking pass out at this rate. 

“Stop!” I commanded sharply, taking hold of her arms and moving her back. 

She collapsed to the floor and Alejandro was by her side in a flash, scooping her up into his arms. 

Azura‘s heart was pounding, and when Kiara looked at me, I knew what her next words were 

going to be. “I’m sorry, I‘m unable to heal you.” She whispered, her gaze going to Alejandro, who looked shocked. 

There it was – the concern, worry, and sadness as he looked at me, but I knew as long as I didn‘t look at Azura l‘ll be ok... 

Her arms tightened around my neck, and trickles of her thoughts and emotions seeped into my mind 

Her worry and pain. 

Her fear of losing me, of our children losing me. Her terror of nothing being able to heal me. I could feel her body shaking a little, and despite the fact that it was going to fucking break me, I pulled her into my lap, wrapping my arms around her. 

The moment our eyes met, I realised she was fighting herself not to cry and it fucking hurt. This was the pain I wanted to keep her from... I couldn‘t give her the life she wanted... “I was expecting that answer anyway,” I said to Kiara and Alejandro, who were obviously conversing through the link from the looks on their faces.
