Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Alpha Leo And The Heart Of Fire Chapter 109 By Moonlight Muse

109. Time & Ten

LEO.

Delsanra gasps, averting her gaze as she

covers her eyes and runs past me and

inside. Kiara is hot on her heels, also

diverting her gaze.

Like they haven’t fucking seen a dick

before… 1

At least I know that Dad is definitely in

safe hands.

“Put some fucking pants on.” Alejandro growls as he frowns at me. 3

I raise my eyebrow. With all the fucking shit going on… is that all he can think of?

“Why? Not feeling insecure, right?” I taunt coldly. If the fucking situation wasn’t so dire, I’d have said more. My

mind is screaming at me to find Azura, to

go after her.

He scoffs. “You fucking wish.

“Yeah, whatever. I’m going to shift; I

need to go after her. This one’s the

fucking traitor.” I say, kicking Eric once.

more when I reach the bottom of the

stairs.

“Dante, Rayhan, and Raihana are

following the tracking device. Kiara gave Raihana a bracelet of Azura’s. They’ll try teleporting to her. In the meantime how about we find out why this fucker sold you the fuck out.” 2

As much as I wanted to go after her right now and I fucking would, Alejandro is right, we needed some answers… how

exactly Eric pulled this shit off was

fucking getting to me… How long had he planned this for?

I pull the pants on as Eric simply stares

into the distance. His jaw set tensely.

“So, who’s she?” Alejandro remarks,

glancing at Nikki, who is standing there

arms crossed.

“I’m Leo’s ex since Azura showed up. She says bluntly. Alejandro cocks a brow, looking between us, but says nothing.

“So was this because I was dating your mate?” I ask Eric quietly, trying to control my rage. Because of him, Azura is

gone.

He scoffs bitterly. “We found out we were mates years ago… but she always had her eyes on you. This isn’t because of one woman; she isn’t worth anything.” Eric sneers, “Karma has been served to her and in the end, even you dropped her.”

Nikki’s eyes flash as she glares at him with hurt and anger.

“You bastard.” She spits.

“Then why? Why did you fucking do this to me? Even Azura, you two were getting on, weren’t you?” I growl.

“Simply a façade.” Eric says calmly, “You can change your name, Leo, but you can’t change who your family are…”

I didn’t get it, I’ve always treated my people well… I am not the same… am I?

“But what have I done that hurt you, aside from what is Nikki’s fault? If I knew

you were her mate, I assure you I would never have gotten with her.” I say quietly. “All you had to do was approach me. But if this isn’t about her, then what? What

did I do?”

He still wears that uncaring, cold, contemptuous look on his face.

“What didn’t you do? You got everything the moment we left those caverns! There

was a huge difference between us and you

– a Rossi and the worst is you don’t even see how entitled you were… I wanted you all dead… every single one of you and that will happen.” He smirks, and I feel a wave of unease rush through me.

He keeps looking at the sky… almost as if expecting something.

My heart thuds as I step back. “You’ve planned something…”

He looks at me and smiles, that same

innocent warm smile of one of the men

that I trusted the most. Another one I just wasn’t good enough for… I tried to be the best leader I could be, I tried to do my fucking best…

“What have you planned?” I ask again.

“Maybe something I should have done ages ago. You all deserve to die for her sins, for what she did to us! She was your grandmother Leo. You all deserve to die

for her sins. And you will. As for this pack? It’s sick to think that a Rossi can lead us… how they even accepted her blood to lead us disgusts me! It’s always a Rossi who fucks us over! Endora! Rayhan! You!” 1

I look at him, realising that he is far too gone in his ways…

He looks off to the distance again, almost as if waiting for something.

Eric was always good with his gadgets, he could have easily hooked up one of the five’s phones, he must have been spying on us to be kept in the loop… but there is something else that Eric was always good at and enjoyed… something he stopped delving into about ten years ago, and that was explosives. 1

My eyes flash as clarity fucking hits me hard.

“You’ve…” I didn’t need to finish the

sentence for him to smile and chuckle.

Our eyes met, and we both know exactly what the other is thinking.

‘I want everyone to evacuate! Warriors

get everyone to the west side forest! Now. ‘I command through the link, reaching some of my people. ‘Pass the message on immediately. This is a fucking code red! We need to clear out. NOW! Ace, wire up

to every fucking building and house in

this pack. I need everyone out!’ I shout.

My mind is spinning. Eric is calm though as although he is captured he didn’t plan to make it out of this alive. He is prepared

for this to be the end… His end.

“Explosives.” I growl at him.

“Always the smart one, but this time you

were just not smart enough. You are too late…” He laughs,

“You’re fucking dead.” Alejandro growls, advancing on him.

“Yeah, we all are.” Eric replies, and that’s when I hear it, the huge explosion on the north side of the Pack. My eyes blaze brightly as flames erupt sky high,

illuminating the dark skies and I see

pieces of debris blast everywhere. Nikki’s

scream pierces the air and my heart

thumps when I feel several pack links

break.

People died. My people…

“Fuck you, Eric!” I snarl murderously,

fear and pain enveloping me. Innocent

lives are being lost…

Alejandro’s growl rips through the air. ” I’ll go there.” He says before he shifts

and runs off.

“How do I deactivate it!” I roar at Eric,

grabbing him by his collar again, just as

Kareena, Winona, Dad, Delsanra and Kiara step out of the house.

“I’ll go help!” Kiara exclaims, spotting the fire.

Delsanra nods, and just then Dad steps forward. He’s a bloody mess but he’s healed… “Me too. We need to get

everyone out immediately.” Dad says. You deal with Eric, son… I’m sorry I wasn’t able to protect them.”

For a split second, our eyes meet and I realise just how relieved I am that he’s ok … for a few terrifying moments I had thought I had lost him.

“I’m glad you’re ok and it’s not your fucking fault.” I say quietly.

Dad smiles, but there is a sadness in his eyes. He glances at Winona for a moment before he turns and runs off. 2

I turn back to Eric. “Answer me, how do I

deactivate them!”

“There’s only one way… find them.” He

says.

“How many are there?” Delsanra asks

sharply.

“Will you protect the people whose hands you suffered at?” Eric spits at her.

“Answer the fucking question!” I snarl.

“There’s nine more.” He replies.

“Locations!”

Eric smiles. “I don’t know. Emmet set

them, see we had it all planned… all

planned…”

I had heard enough… no matter how much I wanted to try to understand how I

went wrong or where I lacked; I realise I can never please everyone.

“There are nine bombs. We need to find

them. Delsanra will create a barrier when everyone is out to the west forest,” I say out loud and through the link. “Let’s

move!”

Delsanra nods before she runs off with Li

Sheng and the rest of the men following

from the mansion, and Winona and Nikki

turn to me.

“Where do you want me to help?” Nikki says, glaring at Eric

“What can I do?” Winona asks. She’s still

bloody, but she’s healed, and I can still

see the tear streaks down her cheeks. The

way she reacted to Dad being injured… it had looked… too intimate… The way he looked at her before he left… confusion flitters through me, but I push it away. 5

“Get to the hospital, both of you. Now. Help clear it out. It’s one of the most populated places aside from the pack hall, headquarters and training.” I

command and they run off.

Through the link, I command people once more to clear out. “You aren’t worth my time… you will not move from this spot. No matter what happens, you will stay here even if it means you’ll die.” I command using every ounce of my

command before I turn away.

“I’m ready.” Eric says coldly.

“How long is each bomb set apart?” I ask

calmly.

Eric simply smiles. “Emmet took that

secret to his grave. Shame he isn’t alive for us to ask him.”

“Fuck you, Eric.” I snarl, my stomach twisting as I walk to the exit, Eric stays there on his knees, and I can sense his struggle, wanting to disobey me, but he is still part of this pack no matter how much he fucking hates me. “You will

remain here, even if you face death in the fucking face.”

Our eyes meet and this time all I see is his hatred.

“When you lose your kids and mate… then you’ll realise what true pain is.” Those are the last words he says before I walk over to him one final time and shake my head.

“You’re no different from Endora herself

… harming the innocent… look in the

fucking mirror, Eric…” I say, before

breaking into a run. 2

I need to find those bombs. I’ll scan the

area; we’ll pick up on the radioactive

material with ease. We’ll fucking find

them, and Eric will fucking pay.

‘Any news on Azura?’ I ask Ace.

‘Leo…’

‘What is it?’ I ask sharply,

‘The tracer suddenly vanished. Jin said they are heading to the spot where it was

last seen. But she was moving at an incredibly fast pace and then they just vanished… but your cousins are there with them, all three.’ Ace’s voice came. 31

My heart squeezes, panic filling me. Where are you, Baby Girl? Is our baby ok?

I’m here at the pack, and my family is out there… once these bombs are located, I’m going to leave. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I will find you, Judah… I fucking will. Tracer or none, nothing will keep me apart from Azura.

A sudden explosion from behind me,

throws me to the ground and I roll over

getting to my feet, one arm raised in

front of my face as I stare at the mansion

behind me, my heart thundering as I

stare at the flames that engulf it. I see

Eric staring at me through the gates, and

I’m satisfied to see the fear in his eyes.

before the flames engulf him and I feel another link snap.

He is dead….

I duck when another explosion erupts

from the mansion and I know it was from

the kitchen, the force throwing me back

once more. I swallow hard, staring at the

vast destruction… if we didn’t know… if

we weren’t aware… Corrado, Azura, Dad

and Winona could have all died tonight…

I take one final glance at the flames,

thinking I’d never understand the hatred

that Emmet and Eric felt for me… but

some things in life are left unanswered.

They let their hatred get to them, their

bitterness as did I… but sadly, they just

didn’t have anyone to show them the

right path…

Time to secure the fucking pack and then

then I’m coming for you, Judah.

This time it will be the final showdown

and only one of us is going to walk away alive.

And that person is going to be me.
