A Way Out Leo Novels & Stories

Pigeons scampered around her sexy black boots, hoping to be the next recipient of her goodwill. Leo forced a smile and took a drink of his Coke. “Just worried that one of these birds is going to dive bomb us if we don’t get moving soon.” Had he really been stupid enough to think he wouldn't fall for her, after everything? Had he really believed the situation wouldn’t get any more complicated than it already was? Damn it, he had. Maybe deep down, he’d known he would be walking into a no-win situation, but he’d fooled himself.

“That’s only part of it. He hurts you to get to me.” I meet his gaze, letting the weight of his words sink in. He’s not wrong. But Braden isn’t just going to let us walk out of here. “He’s already taken some of your blood, right?” I ask. Leo nods, his expression grim. We both know he took a lot. “Then I can persuade him to focus on me,” I continue. “That buys you time to gather your strength. Then I need you to leave before he returns. He won’t know I was here. He left the cell door open, it makes sense that you escaped on your own.”

I ordered her. "No. What if something happens to them? We don't know who did this to Ada, remember?" "Alright, be quick." I left the house and unlocked her dad's v-boot. "Aboki! open the gate." I shouted. He raced from his post and quickly opened the gate. I could tell he was biting down the urge to interrogate me. It was quite smart of him not to, for I would have washed him like a bitter leaf. Joyce and my sisters entered the car while I laid Ada down. I ran to the driver's side. I started the car and drove out of the compound in haste.

He must have liked that Sophia approved of him. "Now that Mama Bear has vetted you and thinks you're legit, I’d like to formally introduce you to my family," Austin said as Silas gave him his full attention. "That guy who looks like a grizzly bear is Leo. He doesn’t smile a lot, but when Athena talks to him, he’s like a kid on Christmas morning." "It’s a pleasure to meet you, Leo," Silas greeted, and Leo nodded in response before turning to face Austin. "You’re asking to get hit again," Leo threatened, an evil smile spreading across his face.

At some point he’s going to break. I’m glad he’s not alone, I appreciate that Golden is there for him. He has someone to hold him and let him be vulnerable. He needs to let it out, for him to heal and move on with his life he needs to let all those feelings out. Leo holds things in and they weigh him down. He’s so young but he has t deal with so much crap. He has been carrying so many things around with him since we were kids. This is an opportunity for him to confront those things and cut them lose. It won’t be easy and it will be painful but I know he’s going to come out of this healed and free.

I looked up and down at him, trying to look for wounds. Leo knocked on his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, Louisa. I know I must look bad right now, but this is all their blood! They tried to hypnotize me, so I scratched out their eyes. They can't even touch me! I'm a very tough guy! I can protect Gianna and I'll protect you." "Oh, Leo. Please be safe. Don't be tough. Next time when people want to catch you, just run away. Those traveling druids are horrible creatures, they will want to get back at you."

“I’d say Grayson’s life being at stake makes it necessary. But I’ll be fine Love.” Amber’s heart pounded into her ribs. Leo’s eyes were on the road ahead. “What are you going to do Leo?” “Whatever I have to to bring him home.” “Tell me what you’re planning. Look at me Leo.” He pulled his chocolate eyes reluctantly from the road long enough for direct eye contact. “For starters, I’m going to go beg my father for a loan’”, he laughed, “which I’m sure he’ll love every fucking minute of and never let me forget it.”

He turned off the ignition, checked his hair in the rearview mirror—perfect, as usual—and unbuckled. "Alright, Leo. Let's get you and your... whatever that is, inside." "It's a cloud-breathing dragon habitat," Leo corrected loftily, scrambling out of the door.

"I won't let you succeed. I will find a way to stop you." Leo's eyes narrowed, a hint of irritation flickering across his face. "You really underestimate me. I have anticipated your resistance. You see, once I suck out all your powers, aura and energy, there will be no stopping it. You will become my instrument of destruction." A shiver ran down my spine, but I refused to let fear consume me. I had to find a way to escape, to warn the others at the grove and rally them against Leo's plans. I had to get out of there!

Leo drew in a deep breath and walked away back to her room before she got seen by one of his guards on parade. She had to leave this suffocating place, but how will she go about it?
