97. A Full House 

LEO. 

I had felt Azura’s emotions through the bond when she talked to her parents and I had put my walls up, giving her the privacy of her own mind. All I could do was give her strength and calmness through the bond, but she was doing great without it. 

The place is a damn full house, and everyone isn’t even here yet. Raihana and Chris have just arrived with their thirteen -year-old son Tatum and daughter Heaven, who is ten. 

“Thanks for inviting us.” Chris says after I finish shaking hands with the kids. 

“Not an issue.” I reply. I did not need everyone to thank me. That is fucking weird. 1 

“So what do we call you?” Heaven asks, frowning slightly as she looks at me. 

She’s a witch-werewolf hybrid. The power clearly oozes off her. She is the first daughter of Endora’s line after all, and although I know that the link between Raihana and Endora was severed … she is still powerful. 2 

“Leo’s fine.” I reply and she nods, tossing her hair over her shoulder; she is definitely a little Raihana in the making. 

“Cool.” She replies. 

“Ah, Raihana! Chris! Welcome!” 

I excuse myself when Dad steps out into the hall, as I have a few things to handle. 

I walk out of the mansion to find Rayhan and his family making their way up the steps. 

“Leo.” Rayhan says, stopping in his tracks as his daughter almost crashes into me. 

“Hi,” I say, turning to the girl who almost bumped into me. Her eyes widen, and she stops, freezing before she almost crashes into me. “Easy there kiddo.” I remember making her cry as a child, a sliver of guilt rushing through me. She’s a cute kid, with big grey eyes and curly dark reddish-brown hair. 

She says, blushing as she steps back
