Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

124. A Visit

LEO.

“How much longer Daddy?” Corrado asks as he stares out of the car window.

I glance back at him, where he’s strapped in behind Azura’s seat. He has his arms crossed as he stares out at the passing scenery.

“Not long now. We will be there soon.” I reply.

Phoenix is buckled up in her car seat behind me and to be fair, she’s been sleeping through the entire journey, although both Azura and I had figured she’d be up and wanting milk.

She’s six weeks old now, and it’s the first time we’re venturing out of the pack. We are on our way to stay for a couple of days at the Blood Moon Pack, as much as I find it weird as fuck to go there. If Azura was able to leave it all and come live with me, then I could at least visit for a couple nights. I glance over at her. She looks as gorgeous as ever, or even more… Every damn day that goes by I fall a little fucking more for her.

Her black silky hair is open, her eyes are closed, and her breasts rise and fall with every breath she takes. She’s wearing a cropped knit top that also comes off her shoulder with torn jeans, which show off the pair of fishnets underneath. I’m sure she’s doing it on fucking purpose. Those things make me want to fuck her right here…

Although we do find time for ourselves, it’s not the same when there’s a child who constantly wants her.

I glance back at the road. The faint music on the radio fills the car, and just being here with these three feels great. Something as mundane as this journey is relaxing.

Things are back to normal, or as normal as they will be after certain changes. Nikki left, and I’m glad she did. I know bits of what happened between Azura and her and I’m glad she finally realised her place and moved on. But this is Nikki. Wherever she goes, feel sorry for those who will have to put up with her if things don’t go her way. She had applied at one of the academies and had been accepted. I made sure the governing body of the school knew of her past via Alejandro, who is after all the one who started the schools up.

Speaking of, he’s going to be down at the Blood Moon too. The twins would be at the academy, and I’m not sure about Alessandra or Dante, considering the latter is always travelling. There are a few things I want to discuss, anyway; this would be a good chance for that.

There are some things I wondered about regarding Emmet and Eric, they always acted like they hated one another, yet behind it all they got on rather well. Going through their phone records I found out they were pretty tight. It just shows how wrong you can be about someone.

Then there’s the wolves who had been a part of Judah’s gang, however we found out none of them were from packs from England, it would always remain a mystery after all, as time goes by our numbers are growing,

There are so many packs all across the world, and not every one of them is listed in our databases. I aim to find out though, to try to have knowledge of them all. I’ll get there… some day.

As for Dad and Winona? The conversation never came up again, and they still don’t seem to know where they stand, but I think they need to figure that out themselves. Winona, as always, is hands-on with the kids and doesn’t let anything come in the way of that. Just this morning when we were leaving, the moment Dad showed up to say goodbye to us, she became busy making sure all the kid’s stuff was packed.

Jax and Kareena… Kareena has barely seen us since the marking, I can see it has helped her, but she did go into heat, and that had been fucking hard for Jax, but I also think it has shaken him to realise the bond is making him crave her. To keep the baby safe, we sedated her with her permission, and she stayed unconscious until her heat passed. She had the baby two weeks ago, which she named Shane Dunn. He is the spitting image of Shane, from his hair to his eyes.

An hour later and Azura is awake now. We finally reach the huge walls that surround the Blood Moon Pack, and the gates open, welcoming us. I glance around as we drive through. It’s not a bad place, the roads are cobbled and there are a lot of trees lining the paths. It’s not as modern as the Sangue pack, but it looks pretty good.

“Take the left here.” Azura says, “just straight down and you’ll see the walls to Mama and Dad’s place.”

Well, here we go.
