LEO. "Leo…" She walked over to me, and the moment she touched my back, sending a rush of sparks through me, I felt a wave of calmness wash over me. The fucking bond. "I didn’t mean it in a bad way. You know, growing up, everyone called me a freak because I was born with the help of magic, so they found the word fitting. There were even a few people in the pack who refused to acknowledge me because of it. Heck, some still exist… as I got older, I stopped telling my family because I didn’t want to always cause them trouble…" She sighed, and I did my best to remain calm. Flaring anger rushed through me, and I wondered if that was why she was so cheerful because inside she was dealing with a lot. "I know you always say I'm the daughter of an Elite. Although my life is nowhere as harrowing as I'm sure yours has been, I just wanted to let you know that things aren’t always what they seem." She moved in front of me, her hand running along my waist, before she placed it on my chest. "It’s

LEO. It had shaken me when she had unknowingly let her barrier down. The sheer level of desperation, fear, pain, and agony when I rejected her and then walked away from her hit me hard… So fucking hard. I have not felt such an intense level of pain since I was a child, but knowing this was her feelings, made it a thousand fucking times harder. She had been unable to breathe as she clutched at her neck, trying to survive the violent pain that had torn through her. It fucking killed me to see things from her eyes, making me hate the fact that I did that to her. Seeing her crumble to the floor, as she watched me walk away was fucking ruthless. I had broken her and weakened her wolf right after taking everything from her… I had done the very same thing Rayhan had.I promised her something only to rip it away from her the very next. The heartbreak, the fear, and the sadness as she realised what happened consumed me with guilt. The vulnerability as she realised that she wasn’t wanted, wo

LEO. "So that’s him?" Song asked Azura quietly. "Yup." "Ok Azura, he’s so-" "Don’t, I bet his big ears are listening in." Azura muttered. I was outside the hospital room whilst they talked inside quietly, but yeah I could still hear and see them with the door slightly ajar. Azura was sitting next to her friend with her arms around her. We had gotten back pretty fast, I had Azura with me and I knew instantly why she had felt that pain. In the fight, I had overexerted myself, and she had felt it… Luckily, she had regained consciousness pretty quickly before we even got back to pack grounds. Since then, she has been watching me intently, almost calculatingly… I had to fucking make sure that didn’t happen again, for her sake… But then what about overall? The bottom line was I'm fucking dying, and that pain would only increase as the days and weeks passed by. The doctor had checked her over and she was fine. As for her friend, she had been tended to and was in good care, although

LEO. Two hours had passed, and I was working with Ace, Jax, Dan and Li Sheng. There was so much I fucking needed to deal with, and although it felt like everything was fucking spiralling out of control, I would fix it. Emmet had grabbed the chair when I had been distracted by the sheer shock of his revelation. He had slammed it into my back with such force, the leg had ripped through my clothes and back. But I had been far too wrapped up in my own thoughts to realise what had happened, until he was dragged away to his cell, and my men had begun worrying over me. The dull ache remained in my back, but it was healing quickly enough. I had had it cleaned and bandaged by one of the guards, not wanting to waste time by going down to the hospital. "Alright, I need to get going. Start the preparations, Ace you need to get to Web. Dan, check Emmet’s laptop and office, see if you can find any bank statements or if he has any accounts that we don’t know of, or in any other names. Li Sheng ha

LEO. She played me fucking dirty and left. But despite the fucking beast she awoke within me, it was her words that really got to me. ‘Although I’m not enough for you…’ If I wasn't half as stubborn as I fucking was, I would have told her the truth that that shit ain’t true… But yeah, that’s all there fucking was to it… I felt lighter getting that over with, and it reminded me of the past when I at least had my father… It’s just a shame it's too late for all of that to be back. Right? I was delaying… I knew I was far past the stage of Kiara being able to help me, but I don’t think I wanted to hear it. Even if I already knew the truth. I pushed the thought away thinking back to the moment between Azura and Corrado. Corrado has only ever said ‘I love you’ to three people before now; Dad, Winona, and me. It had hit hard… He had taken to her, I didn’t need any more fucking signs that she was meant for me. That hatred I felt… even the word elites… it all seemed so fucking far in the
