AZURA. The journey had been pleasant despite feeling a little nauseous at times, I wouldn’t have changed anything about it. Leo’s constant touches, the way he caressed my thigh, the way he tilted his head as he drove, giving me the perfect angle of that sexy jaw of his; or the way he looked at me… well, I couldn’t focus on anything else much. But there was one thing that really got to me. It was the tin of cookies that Jackie had given me. There inside, was a small square of paper with the words ‘read when alone’ on it, tucked under the first layer of cookies. I had been curious, but with Leo being so sharp, I had snuck the note into my boot to check later. Song, me, and the twins had texted a little too, and both the twins had been disappointed that they were at the academy. As for Song, she had a die-hard crush on Rayhan for ages. Well, that wasn’t anything to be surprised about. He was damn handsome, and the majority of the girls at the academy were smitten with him. Rayhan was

LEO. I was in the shower, the excessive smoking throughout the day made me smell of smoke. I ran my hands through my hair, washing the shampoo off. I wasn’t looking forward to tonight, and I wasn’t going to fucking deny that I needed to see her… Without anyone around. I just… Yeah, I just fucking need to just hold her for a bit… I said I’ll do this shit, but how the fuck was I going to start that conversation? The bathroom door opened, and I glanced through the steamed glass of the shower, the blurred outline and the scent giving her away. She locked the door, before pulling her top off. I could see the outline of her black bra, and I throbbed hard, knowing she was about to join me. I slid open the glass door, just as she slid her pants down. "Hey…" She said, her eyes raking over me before she swallowed hard the moment she looked at my cock. I was already hardening under her gaze, I wrapped my hand around my cock, stroking it slowly as I looked at her. "Hey." She licked her li

AZURA. "Are you sure you’re going to be ok?" Song asked me. I nodded, Mama had called earlier as well, I knew she was surprised that I was actually going to go see Atlas, but I could tell she was happy. When I told her that Leo and I had figured things out, she smiled and said; "That’s my girl, get that man in line." Goddess, she was a queen. "Yeah totally, he’s just a guy." I said shrugging, "Ok hun, if you’re sure." She replied, giving me a tight hug. I glanced at Kiara when I moved back. "You sure his mother isn’t going to be around?" I asked, my voice sounding resentful despite not meaning to. Her eyes softened, and she nodded. "He doesn’t live with her anymore, and I let him know you were coming." She smiled gently, and I nodded. "Ok." I said, shoving my hands into my pockets as I turned on my heels. "Are you sure you know the way?" "Yeah, I’ll ask someone if I can’t find it." I said before heading for the gates. It was late, but I knew he had work earlier, and if Leo

AZURA. It was the following afternoon, and we were ready to head back home. Last night when I had thought all hope was gone, I realised I was the answer. Sure, we didn’t know exactly how it would work and I knew Dante wasn’t going to tell me the answer, but at least we knew the main thing and we wouldn’t let the chance pass by. There were less than two weeks until the next full moon and we’d figure it out. Or I'm sure Leo would, and I will just stick to Leo and hope for the best. Last night we didn’t sleep much, he had held me in his arms, stroking my hair and back. It wasn’t sexual but it was so intimate that the emotions I was feeling, were unexplainable. I loved him and as much as that was gushy mushy, I did want to tell him. I just needed to find the right time. “Are these all for me?” Corrado asked in awe as Dante finished loading the trunk with all the toys and clothes that Kiara had gotten for Corrado. The weather was warm, and despite the sun being up, a cool wind was bl

AZURA. My heart shattered watching Leo on his knees, cradling her body to his chest. Not one sound left him, but the pain and anguish that radiated off him was something I didn’t even need the mate bond to feel. It filled the air and I had never seen him so… vulnerable. The man that tried not to show emotions, who was always strong and cold, was now broken. Devastated by the loss of his loved ones. I wished I could turn back time and stop this from happening. I wish I could take his pain and make it my own. Why her? I wish I had called her last night… she must have been hoping I got her message. Jackie… I simply knelt behind him placing my arm around his shoulders, hoping it gave him some reprieve from the pain and heartbreak he was experiencing. His thudding heart was beating far faster than it should. Closing my eyes, I tried to squash the guilt that was consuming me. I brought Judah to them… I cost him his sister… and a best friend. I made sure my walls were up, and never h
