Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

74. Making Amends 

LEO. 

A silence followed, and I took a drag on m y cigarette. He knew we were together now, which should have taken the fucking shock factor out of this call. “Are you following so I can fucking continue?” 4 

I heard him blow out a short breath. ” 

Leo, this is a surprise… 

“It shouldn’t really be one considering you obviously know I have overcome my issues, somewhat.” 

“Your issues?” 

I smirked humorlessly. “We both know I was the one who had the issues, right? I accept that if that’s what you want. Let’s not sugarcoat that shit. Is Scarlett there? 11 I was sure she was. 

“Yes, I’m here, hello Leo.” 

“Hi.” I replied, smoking my cigarette. 

“I’m glad the two of you have sorted things out.” She added. 

“But I’m assuming you’re still angry, and I don’t fucking blame you. I hurt her and I know an apology isn’t going to change that shit, but still… I’m sorry, what I did i s not something that can just be swept under the rug.” It wasn’t easy to apologize, but when it came to her- for her, it became fucking easier. 2 

“You aren’t wrong.” Elijah replied quietly. 

“I know my apology is just a fucking word, but I will prove to be a better person for her. I’ll keep her happy, and I’ll sure as fuck take care of her. She’s my responsibility now, and I assure you that she’s in good hands.” I smirked at those words, remembering how good her ass  looked in my hand… 5 

They were silent for a moment, and I knew they were probably conversing through the mind link. The only thing I hated about phone calls was that you couldn’t deduce a person’s facial  expression to figure out what they were thinking. 

After another long moment, Elijah spoke. “I’m glad you two have sorted it out. I was angry, but it’s not the first time I’ve had to see one of my daughters go through something like this… I hope like Alejandro, you will treat her well.” 

“I won’t treat her like Alejandro treats Kiara, I plan to treat her way better.” I  replied, and I fucking meant it. “Your daughter is about to become Luna on this  coming full moon, and I wanted to  personally call and invite all her loved  ones to be here for it. You are welcome to  come at any time, even if it’s days prior to the ceremony.” I ran my fingers  through my hair before I continued. “The Sangue Pack extends its hand of  friendship to the Blood Moon, and I… I  promise that the Sangue Pack will be  there for the Blood Moon if ever the need  arises.” 

And I fucking meant it. 

Scarlett let out a small laugh, but I could tell she was emotional. “Well, he’s sure better with words than Alejandro.” 

Obviously. 2
