Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

82. Blinded
LEO.
“There!” Emmet hissed as he glared up at me with hatred.
Dad frowned, looking at him sharply. “ How could you enter a place that is scarred with so much darkness?”
“Because no one would ever think to look there.” I said quietly, taking a step back from the bastard on the floor. “None of us
would ever think one of us would even step into that place willingly...”
I looked at the metal walls of the cell, flashes of the dark stone walls of the caverns returning to the forefront of my mind.
He smirked coldly. “You’re too late...”
“Oh yeah? We’ll see about that. Why did you taint the drugs?” I asked. His smirk faltered, and he clenched his jaw as if not
wanting to answer.
“Why do you think? The more that die... because of you, the worse you would have felt... you were never one of us Leo, you
were always one of them!” He hissed.
So his only incentive was to make me feel guilty. How blinded was I to think he actually considered me a brother, but even I
knew when someone was too far gone to get through to...
“And you thought you’d kill two fucking birds with one stone... the drugs you stole, you probably sold them to fund your shit?”
“If you already know, why ask?” Emmet hissed, his gaze flickering to Azura. ”
Seems like the bitch is here to stay... This pack is no longer ours.
“Watch it!” Dad growled, as I grabbed
him by the collar and slammed him against the wall, my anger tearing through me.
Blistering white-hot fury flashed
through me. “That is your Luna.” I snarled, my grip tightening around his throat. .

He laughed. “See, just like them, abuse-”
“Actually, if Leo was like ‘them’ then you wouldn’t be alive right now.” Azura said, stepping forward, holding the heavy- duty
staple gun in her hand. Ok so maybe that shit might do a little damage... “and ... I owe you something for trying to kill my baby.
Since you hate us so-called elite, I’m going to behave just like how you think we do.” 3
She raised the gun, pressing it to his cheek; he turned his head, but she was faster pressing on the lever. It went off, and he
hissed, the staple embedded into his cheek.
“You bitch!”

“That one was for my baby and this one is for kicking me.” She slammed the gun on his nose and I heard something break, his
head slamming back against the wall, before she stapled him right on the bridge of his nose. 3
He growled, thrashing in my hold, trying to attack her, but I kept him in place.
Her heart was thundering as she glared at him. “This one’s for Jackie.” Another shot went into his neck, and I saw Dad wince
from the corner of my eye.
“Don’t act brave when you can’t even handle me!” Emmet hissed.
“Bitch please, I fucking could.” She snapped, stepping back and just when I thought she was done, she slammed the
gun into his dick, making him roar in pain. “And this one is for betraying my man.” The gun went off and he sure as hell got hurt
because he howled like a fucking idiot, and I dropped him to the ground. 7
“Tell me, Leo, do dick piercings hurt? Because I sure hope that one hurt him.’ She said through the link.
Smirking faintly, I glanced at her, seeing the raw anger in her eyes, her chest heaving as she glared down at him.
‘Not really for me, but then again, I don’t mind pain. As for this bastard, it’s clear you caused him some pain.’ I replied.
Our eyes met, and I slowly moved her away.
“You will be trialled, and your fate will be decided.” I said, only for him to nod slowly, as if he understood that.
“Then I guess you must be prepared for your truth to come out. Does your old man know?”

“Yeah, not that it’s your fucking business. I’m ready to speak the fucking truth.” I said coldly, glaring down at him. “Judah
Gallahan, do you know him? Or ever heard of him?”
“And answer truthfully.” Dad added, his command rolling off him.
Emmet frowned but shook his head. “No, but I think your woman knows him pretty well. Since they fucking created some pretty
neat sex videos-”
An animalistic growl filled the air, and it took me a few seconds to realise it was mine as I grabbed him, throwing him against the
far wall. My wolf’s rage bleeding in with my own. “How do you know that?!” I snarled.
“Leo. It’s fine.” Azura said, placing a hand on my back. My eyes were blazing, the anger bubbling past the surface and Dad
moved her back, shaking his head.
“Wouldn’t you like to... know...” Emmet muttered through gritted teeth. He smirked, and before Dad could even enforce his
command, he bit down on his tongue, groaning in pain before blood began spilling from his mouth. Azura gasped as the smell of
blood filled the air, and he spat his tongue out shocking us all.
The sick bastard had bitten it off.
Emmet let out a choked laugh, and I knew there was no way I was going to get the answer from him right now.
“Fool.” Dad growled. “Shall we move him to a cell without silver? We can ask him through the link once he’s recovered.”
“No, I don’t want him even having the chance to mind link anyone. He’ll be trialled and if he fucking wants to defend himself, he

can use those hands to write, otherwise I don’t give a fuck if he breaks them both too.” I growled, delivering a powerful kick to
his shoulder, knocking him back onto the now bloody floor. I wasn’t one to kick a man when he’s down ... but he fucking
deserved it. “I’m heading to the caverns.”
Turning, I took Azura’s hand, guiding her out of the cell. I glanced at the guards, who waited for Marcel to step out before locking
the door.
“Make sure no one visits him.”
I made sure there were always four guards who were rotated often, so even if one was to betray me... there would be three to
watch... plus I had the entire place under surveillance. The only time they opened the door was once a day for food and that tray
was searched thoroughly, too. Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

We reached the main floor when Eric approached. Disappointment and shame clear in his eyes as he lowered his head to
1.
“I’m sorry Alpha.”
“No need to be.” I replied, although I knew the brothers were never close, it was obvious Eric saw through Emmet when I did
not...
“Thanks.” He said before giving Azura a big smile.
She grinned back, but there was something devilish cooking in that brain of hers. “Oh Eric, before the Alpha ceremony, I need
you to come visit me.’
He raised his eyebrows, but nodded. “I will. Can I ask why?” He looked a little. nervous, not that I fucking blamed him.
He was watching Azura tuck the staple gun back into her bag before looking up at her again.
“Can’t say.” She smirked, giving him a wink before waving at him as we passed.
Her smile faded when she turned to me.’
Let’s go.’
I didn’t want to take her down there... but out of everyone I’d rather it be her with me down there. I also wanted her with me,
just in case something went down... We’re heading out. Let Corrado know I’ll be late. I’ll tell Winona to put him to bed.”
I said to Dad, who nodded. 1
“Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you, Leo?”
I shook my head, “No, I don’t think that’s a place you fucking need to go to...”
He sighed heavily and nodded. “Don’t go alone.”
“I won’t, I’ll take back up.”
He nodded slowly. “I presume Jax.... Ace

...”
“They are part of the Six, my most trusted.” I said,
“I figured as much. I know now is not the time, but you should consider who you will make your Beta and Delta. We only have six
days until the ceremony.” Dad said quietly. 1
My Beta and Delta... “I’ll have a think.” I replied, before slipping my hand around Azura’s waist and led her away.
