75. This Darkness Within Me 

AZURA. 

Cartel? 

All traces of sleep vanished as I stared at the man before me. A man who for a second, I was unable to recognise. 

How could Leo be part of a cartel, and I had no idea about it? 

He was watching me emotionlessly, but I knew he was analysing my reaction. 

 

How do you react to that? 

I looked away, feeling a sudden pressure in my head. 

A Cartel. 

“So… When you say a Cartel? Do you mean like a secret Mafia boss?” I asked, my voice sounding hoarser than I planned. 

“There is a difference between a Cartel 

and a Mafia boss… but yeah, they are 

similar enough.” 

– 

“So…” I ran my hand through my hair, 

trying to organise my thoughts. 

Gangs. 

Just like him… 

“You know Judah had a gang…” I said, feeling my emotions all over the place. 

Although his was just totally different, 

and they terrorised people. 

“A gang is different from an organisation, but do you remember anything about it, or what they called themselves? Any information could help u 

s.” He asked sharply. 

My eyes flashed as I looked at him. “We 

are discussing you, but no, I don’t, I just 

know he had a gang of idiots on bikes 

with him all the time. Let’s not change the topic.” I reminded him, frowning 

deeply. 

“Alright… what do you want to know?” 

Our eyes met and I felt my heart squeeze. 

What did I want to know? 

He wasn’t a bad person… he wasn’t… 

“Azura.” 

I couldn’t think properly, running my hand through my hair again as I exhaled 

slowly. 

The Heimtückische Wölfe… now that he 

said it, I had heard of it… An organisation 

that was mentioned on the human news 

several times, wait… Weren’t they the ones responsible for the explosion of that private jet not long ago? Although there 

were no arrests made – then there was 

the fact that they were just unable to link 

anyone to the Heimtückische Wölfe 

Cartel. 

Now it made sense. 

His hand touched my thigh, snapping me from my thoughts. My chest was heaving
