AZURA
"We are going to live with Grandad forever?" Corrado asks excitedly as he struggles to hold his bags of plushies. Although he is barely managing and the bags are dragging on the floor, he is content.
"We’ll see... the mansion’s a little outdated for my liking..." Leo replies.
"Oh, Daddy, you can fix it then. Then we stay with Grandad, because Grandad is all alone there. Right, Azura Mommy?" He asks me. I smile. He still deviates between Mommy and Azura Mommy, although it is getting less frequent. Either way, they both make my heart melt.
"Right!" I smile at him.
"You two are always on the same side, aren’t you?" Leo says as he comes up from behind me and kisses my neck, his fingers brushing my stomach. My heart skips a beat at his gesture, and I feel the baby move. It is still small, and I know he can’t feel it yet, but I can. I tilt my head up, looking into those icy blue eyes of his incredibly handsome face.
Your pup just moved; I think it can sense your touch, I murmur through the link as his lips press against mine.
I'm glad it does... he murmurs as sparks rush through me, and only when Corrado giggles do I move away, trying to calm my beating heart. The way he isn’t hiding his emotions from those sexy piercing eyes of his shake me every time.
"Yes, Daddy, I be on Mommy’s side now," he says hurrying over and dragging his bag. He looks up at me, before looking down at my tummy. "Because Mommy needs to grow our little baby, too." He pats my stomach before placing a kiss on it, making my heart beat faster, and I give him a hug. He drops his bags, and some of the plushies tumble out as we enjoy our hug. Leo grabs them, stuffing them back in the bags.
"You look cute holding a plushie. Wish I had a camera..." I tease, making Corrado laugh.
We both earn a look from the arrogant Alpha before we continue on our walk to the mansion. The essentials we need have already been taken earlier. Leo told me to order myself more stuff, but I’m really not much of a shopper, although the band of my pants are beginning to feel tight. Besides, I have so many things at home, I’m going to have that all sent over to me, too.
It is the day after the funerals, and I am going to Kareena’s later. Sera messaged, saying she had stayed in bed all morning, not speaking or eating. I hope she will get better soon. She is already weakening with despair...
Reaching the mansion, I raise my eyebrow at the huge pile of parcels that are piled near the front door. From the labels, I can see they are all clothing brands.
"What are these?" I ask, stepping over a few bags carefully, only for Leo to take hold of my elbow, making sure I don’t slip on the plastic. Winona comes hurrying over.
"Sorry for this mess, I went a bit crazy shopping," she apologises and gathers up a few bags, but there is only so much she can carry in her slender arms.
"You do seem to like your shopping," I reply, amused, as Marcel comes over, and we both help with the bags.
"At least she bought the stuff I told her to," Leo says, taking his phone out. "They’re yours." My eyes widen in surprise as I look at the bags and parcels.
"I told you I don’t need anything..."
"Let him spoil you," Marcel smirks, passing the bags to someone else to take upstairs and taking the ones Winona and I are carrying from us.
"Thank you," she says, looking around as if to see what she can do, only to realise the bags are all picked up.
"Were all of these scanned when you picked them up from the depot?" Leo questions Winona sharply, who nods.
"Yes, Alpha."
Scanned? Seeing my questioning look, he frowns slightly.
Just making sure... I don’t trust anything right now.
I don’t blame him, and it’s always a good thing to be cautious. My mood darkens when Judah returns to my mind. He is sick. I wish I could turn back time and never ever have met him...
-----
A short while later, Corrado is happily in his room with Winona. The bedroom is already made for him as he visits and stays over at Marcel’s sometimes, but he had been pretty enthusiastic to set up his new room.
We are in Leo’s old room, and I am looking around. Although the place is dust-free, it is obvious that nothing has been changed or moved around. There are a lot of books on the shelves, and most are gibberish to me. Programming, analytics, and all that boring stuff.
"You really are a geek, aren’t you?" I muse, crouching down as I take out one of the books, only to see so many notes that my head begins hurting. Damn. Whoever said you can’t get a headache from just staring at a textbook, was lying; you really can! I shove the book back and scrunch my nose in disdain, making him raise his eyebrow.
"Studying hard doesn’t make a person a geek," he remarks from where he is flipping through some papers, a sexy frown on his face.
"Kinda does," I retort, thinking it is unfair to have such sexy looks, brains, and personality... "I dislike studying. I mean, I tried and did okay, but I didn’t enjoy it. Kat’s the smart one out of us. Sky has brains and doesn’t even have to study to get straight A’s. You damn Rossis.” Leo smirks.
"I can smell jealousy," he mocks me as I stand up and pull out another book.
"I’m not jealous, but it is annoying... especially you. It should be illegal to have looks, brains, and the full works. Although, I'm glad you do have a big dick. That puts even my biggest dildo to shame. A girl won't complain... and that ladder... ooo, wait so you haven't really been in this room for a while. I bet I’ll find a pile of porn somewhere." I yelp when he slaps my ass. I didn’t even realise he had come over.
"Tell me, does the string of dick compliments mean you want something? Stop wriggling that ass of yours in front of me before I decide to fuck you till we pass out," he growls in my ear, his arms wrapping around me. "As for porn... you won't find any around here... but I could make you my pornstar if you like. I wouldn’t mind a show." Smirking, I lean into him.
"Hmm... you know I can pole dance," I respond seductively, pressing my ass against him as I grind against him, and feel him harden.
"Oh, yeah?" His voice is rough, his hand slipping under my top as he grabs my breasts making a wanton moan escape my lips. "When do I get my personal show?" Fuck... He kisses my neck, sucking hard, and I have to bite my lip to stop myself from crying out with the pleasure that consumes me.
"Maybe someday. Depends on how good your behaviour is," I murmur back, his hand now slipping into the band of my pants. "Leo..." I grip the shelf in front of me as his fingers massage my pussy, making me whimper as shooting pleasure courses through me, only for his phone to ring. He growls. "Ignore it." I frown. If he leaves me now... His lips press against my mark.
It’s probably important... I'm expecting a few calls. Just make sure you don’t make a sound. Before I can even answer, he lets go of my breast and takes his phone out of his pocket.
"It’s Alejandro," he mutters. I am about to speak when his finger twirls on my clit, making me moan. "Better keep it down, baby girl."
My heart skips a beat when he actually takes the call at the same time he plunges his fingers into me...

LEO
I swear in my head when my finger squeezes into her. She is soaking for me, and the way her body is reacting is a total turn-on.
"Yeah?" I say, taking the call. Her heart is racing as she grips the shelf in front of her.
Take your pants and thong off now, I command, tucking the phone between my ear and shoulder. Like a good girl, she obeys. I watch her slide the tiny fabric down between her ass, wanting to bend her over and fuck her hard. The moment she discards them, I snake my arm around her waist and pull her to the bed, sitting down with her on my lap.
Leo... are you really going t- She is cut off when I begin working my fingers inside of her.
"I checked the documents you sent over. I'm sorry for your losses. In the slowed-down footage that you sent this morning... did you see the smoke?" Alejandro asks.
I frown, remembering the video that I had enhanced and slowed. I saw it, too... and although it was hard to see them getting killed when I put it in complete slow motion, I saw the smoke that seemed to follow Judah.
"I did," I reply, pumping my fingers into her as she rests her head back on my shoulder, biting down on her lip as she tries not to scream out in pleasure. It is a fucking mission to focus on the conversation, my mind a mix between the anger and hatred for the bastard and the woman who is wrapped around my fingers like the dirty little girl she is. "Any ideas what he is?"
He sighs in frustration, "No, I’ve sent it over to the Coven and Delsanra to see if they can come up with anything. The reason I called... I want you to speak to the council yourself."
I frown, making Azura grip my thigh as I fuck her harder, my eyes on her pussy. Her heart is pounding, and her juices are trickling out of her. I am taking it slow, knowing if I speed up, the slick sound of her juices will reach Alejandro through the phone.
"I’m not speaking to the council. I still don’t like them and do not plan to be a part of it."
She sighs as I slip my fingers out, playing with her clit as her body tenses. She spreads her legs wider, her face an image of pure bliss. Fuck, does she look fucking good...
"At least come and see it first-hand. It’s not a dictatorship, Leo, but a united front to protect our people together. Give them a chance. With your insight, I'm sure we can have a good plan. You’re a smart fucker. Plus, your future father-in-law will probably want to see you."
H-he’s not wrong... Azura’s breathless moan comes into my head. Right now, I want to hear her screams of pleasure. Although there is something fun about watching her struggling to not make a sound, too... I plunge my fingers into her again, exhaling.
"Fine, but I'm not leaving the pack to come to yours. We’ll have a meeting over a video call. Deal?"
"Deal." Alejandro’s approval is obvious in his tone. "Tomorrow at ten a.m. then."
"Fine," I say, hanging up and tossing the phone onto the bed.
She gasps in relief the moment the phone is switched off, and I grab her breast and begin fucking her hard with my fingers. She moans loudly as her juices squirt out of her.
"Fuck, Leo... I'm coming!" She gasps, her back arching as I feel her tightening around my fingers.
The moment I feel her entire body tense, her walls clamping down on me, I sink my canines into her mark, re-marking her. Pleasure rushes through me in an intense current that feels like a mini orgasm. A delicious moan leaves her lips as her release tears through her. I keep fucking her until she has ridden it out before slipping my fingers out and shoving them into her mouth.
Fuck... she moans as she licks them clean, whimpering as I twist her nipple. Tugging her head back, I kiss her hard, tasting her in her mouth as she twists in my arms, pushing me back onto the bed and climbing on top of me. Reaching down, I yank her top off over her head, tossing it to the ground just as she pulls mine off, our lips meeting in a hungry kiss once more...
-----
After that hot sex session, Azura showers and leaves to spend some time with Kareena, getting back a short while ago. Night has already fallen, and I can tell she is tired emotionally. I don’t blame her; spending the day with someone who has lost their mate, seeing their despair, would exhaust anyone. I would never wish it on anyone. I have spent the day trying to come up with a plan to trap Judah. I stopped by the graveyard, too... I still can’t believe they are gone.
We have just finished dinner, and Winona has gone to put Corrado to bed. The excitement of the day has worn him out. Sitting here, I’m sure this is the first dinner in a long time that there isn’t tension between me and Dad. No... it definitely is the first in years.
"Alejandro called a little earlier regarding the meeting tomorrow." Picking up my coffee mug, I raise an eyebrow.
"Do you two like gossip over shit every minute of the fucking day?"
He smirks, "Not every minute, but we do stay in touch. He did say you’ll stick to a video conference." I nod.
"Yeah, after what happened, I am not leaving this pack unattended unless I absolutely fucking need to."
"You’re being careful, but it makes sense," Azura says, resting her head on my shoulder. "The doctor stopped by to see Kareena earlier... she gave me some vitamins, too." I frown.
"Vitamins? Have you eaten any?" She raises an eyebrow and looks up at me.
"Not yet, but they are just vitamins?"
"I guess it’s hard not to be paranoid," Dad chuckles as Azura shakes her head. Maybe I am being too paranoid... but you really can’t be too careful... not when the likes of Emmet exist...
"Where are the vitamins?" I ask, making a tense silence fall over the table.
"I’ll go grab them," she says, but it is obvious she is thinking I am overdoing it.
"Leo..." I look up at Dad sharply, Azura’s footsteps fading away as she leaves the room. "Are you alright, son?"
"I'm not going to lie that I'm not on edge... until he’s caught, I'm not lowering my guard." I stand up, my anger and hatred toward Judah only growing.
Dad sighs heavily, "I agree... he is a monster of some sort. He took on so many of our warriors and still escaped..."
"Yeah, and I plan to fucking kill him, once and for all. I don’t know what she even saw in the bastard." I turn to leave, only to see Azura standing there, an expression of hurt in her eyes as she holds a few bottles of multivitamins in her hands.
Azura...
She shakes her head, holding the bottles out to me as she looks away, but it is the guilt and hurt in them that fucking tears me up. Fuck, I didn’t mean it like that.
"Goodnight, Marcel," she says with a small smile before she turns and walks off.
Fuck.
