Leonardo X April Novels & Stories

Stella's. Cooper let go of me and we both looked at Owen. Leaving his side, I stood beside my mate and passed him a soft smile before looking back at Cooper. “This is—” “I do know who he is,” Cooper said, cutting me off. I kissed my tongue and glared at him but he only winked back. The nerve of this guy. Right in front of my mate. An alpha for that matter. “Alpha Owen, I'm Cooper Stevenson, beta of Grandiose Apex.”

I found myself smiling without even meaning to. “Good afternoon. I’m Vera.” “Lovely to meet you. I’m Katerina. Now, girls—shall we begin?” She spread the magazines across the table and began flipping through endless floral arrangements. I found the nearly identical pictures of flowers unbearably dull. “And what do you think?” the overly cheerful woman asked again, refusing to leave me alone. “White roses or pink?” Ugh. Revolting. I couldn’t imagine a werewolf celebration surrounded by pink roses. What exactly were they planning? Then my eyes landed on a beautifully designed autumn arrangement—deep reds paired with fall leaves. I pointed to it and said firmly:

He tore the tag from around the next girl’s neck. “Ah,” Kane smirked, voice thick with amusement, “this one’s from one of our heavy sponsors, the man who made our little game possible again.” Lucien’s fists clenched on his thighs, his knuckles whitening. “Give it up for Alpha Leonardo,” Kane hollered into the mic, “and the she-wolf he contributed!” The applause was louder this time, almost celebratory. The spotlight swept across the room again and landed on Leonardo, seated comfortably like a king among sinners.

Lily’s pov I felt some sharp pain in my ribs coming from Osiris, so I mindlinked him to check if he was okay. I knew he was going to see the prisoner. “Osiris are you hurt? I just felt some pain” Osiris sounded like he was fine, although his tone was very business-like “it is already healing, the prisoner tried to escape. I will explain later.” I was just showing April around “it’s really beautiful Luna, I can’t wait to start. I have some ideas on how we can improve your business.” I smiled “thank you April. I’d love to hear your ideas, but we have to keep prices low. I want the paintings to be available for anyone to buy.” April nodded “I will see how much you spend on making the painting a

He must know with me back that we don’t need an alliance and I’m so angry at Willow for letting him get so involved with her. I felt guilty for injecting her with wolfsbane, but I had decided to carry it around just in case she needed to be contained. I love my sister and brother immensely and would stop at nothing to keep them, my Luna and my pack safe. “Alpha!” Leo reports to me through the mind link. “Alpha Robert, Luna Amelie and an Alicia are here.” Leo continues. Fuck…this isn’t going to go down well with Willow. “Leo, show them to the Alpha Mansion. I’ll be right there.”

Never had I felt so much anger towards another singular person. I heard a muffled cry come from Ella. The pain and desperation in her voice was real and something you rarely heard from Ella Jones. "You know who I am, Martinez-" "I am well aware," he replied. "Leonardo Loren. The most ruthlessly terrifying man to ever live." "Then you'll be well aware of what I do to people that do things that anger me," Leo said. "And raping my Luna is top of that list." "You've got nothing on me, Loren. Even if you do find me, you're alone, outnumbered and we have guns," he said in an amused tone. "And relax, I'll ensure that she has fun. After all, it is the last thing she'll do before death."

Leonardo sat near the fireplace, glass in hand, the dim light casting sharp shadows along his jaw. I stood near the window, watching the city lights flicker in the distance. Something about the silence felt unnerving—it wasn’t peace, it was anticipation. “You’re restless,” Leonardo observed, sipping his drink. I turned slightly, arms crossed. “I don’t like waiting for a war. I prefer delivering it.” His smirk was faint, but there. “I thought marriage would teach you patience.” I arched a brow. “You should have known better.” He chuckled, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “Then tell me, Xena—how do we force their hand?”

"Yeah, you're right." Just as Selena and I were about to change the topic, Leonardo sauntered into the cafeteria, looking just as smug as ever. "Hey, ladies," he said, propping both of his palms on the table as he leaned in. He was wearing a bright purple shirt with tropical prints on it. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, his voice low and... seductive. Despite the attempt to enchant us, his efforts fell short with me.

Lydia said. He turned instantly, a flash of relief crossing his face. “Lydia.” She stepped beside him and slid her hand into the crook of his arm. “Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to keep my Alpha waiting.” Nina’s smile faltered. “And you are?” “I’m Lydia,” she said sweetly. “Knox’s mate. His Luna. I think you’ve heard of me—or is something else the matter?” There was a pause—thick, uncomfortable silence as the word Luna settled into the space between them.

We were in the grandiose meeting hall, and I sat on the head of the table while staring at the empty table, awaiting their words. " Congratulations, Alpha Kade. We heard the news about the Luna regaining consciousness " Elder Cassius said to me. He is the elder, representing the Alpha tribe which makes him my uncle. Then Elder Thorne asked, him representing the Beta's Tribe. " Alpha Kade ... Can I ask when the rituals will begin for the Luna to be crowned? " This question wasn't supposed to be sudden for me, but immediately I heard it, Majesty moved inside of me. Slowly, I look up at Elder Thorn, aiming to respond, but Elder Magnus beat me up to it, his eyes a bit accusive.
