Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Read Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire Chapter 23 – An End LEO.

I left the cave and stepped out into the car park, trying to clear my head. Locking the door behind me, I slid to the ground, resting my head against the cold metal of the wall behind me as I took a drag on my cigarette. ‘Winona?‘ I called through the link. ‘Yes, Alpha?‘

Winona, she was one of the few I had taken in. She wasn‘t born in the Sangue pack, but she was still someone I trusted, one of the rare few I trusted completely around my son. ‘What‘s Rosaline cooked tonight?‘

Rosaline was my c**k, she lived two floors down from me and she made the best food for me and Corrado. When I had put out the notice for the position, I remember choosing the one whose food Corrado loved the best after tasting it all. I still remember his smile of happiness.

‘She made chicken pasta, and stuffed taco cups.‘

‘Perfect, bring a tray down to my garage, I‘ll let you down when you‘re outside.‘ ‘Of course.‘

She didn‘t question me, she never did and I was grateful.

‘Oh, and Winona?‘

‘Yes, Alpha?‘

‘Bring a woman‘s toiletry pack, or some s**t with basic supplies.‘ A pause followed before she replied.

‘Is the dinner for one or two?‘

‘One.

‘Understood. Anything else, Alpha?‘ ‘No, I think that‘s it.‘

I stared at the fleet of supercars that I owned. I had it all; power, money, cars, a son, and a girlfriend… but even then, something was missing. 4 Something that was starting to poison my mind, just as I had heard the bond would do. Making even the most powerful of men succumb to the will of their females. I never wanted to become a slave to this s**t, besides… it was f*****g cruel to give false hopes of something I could never offer to anyone… 2

It was the reason I never wanted to mark anyone, but then I had already f****d that s**t up and marked her.

‘Alpha, I‘m at the lift.‘

I got up, walking to the lift and keyed in the passcode. After a few moments the lift opened, to

reveal Winona holding a large tray containing Rosaline‘s delicious pasta, and two stuffed taco cups with mince meat, cheese and jalapenos. There were also two cold bottles of juice and a trifle bowl.

“Thanks, I‘ll take it.” I said, taking the tray from her. “And the supplies.” Winona added with a small smile, holding the bag out to me.

“Thanks.”

“Anytime, Alpha.” She replied, I gave her a small nod, about to close the lift when I looked back at her.

“How‘s Corrado been?”

Her smile vanished and she shook her head.

“He didn‘t eat and has been in a strop since Azura left.”

I nodded.
