“I thought you weren’t going to come here?” Alejandro asked me, crossing his arms as Azura returned with the ball. Damn, she was totally okay. Maybe I didn’t need to worry. She walked off, and I shrugged as I looked at Alejandro.
“I changed my mind; I was bored as fuck waiting around,” I replied, placing the cigarette between my lips. I was about to light it, when something hits the back of my head hard, knocking the cigarette from my lips.
I growled menacingly, turning in a flash. Kataleya gasped, and it was the only thing that held me fucking back. As for the little psycho, she simply stared at me, anger clear in her eyes.
“What the fuck was that?” I hissed. Alejandro was next to me in fucking seconds. He doesn’t trust me.
“What the, was what?” The psycho pup shot back, stopping herself from swearing.
My eyes flashed and I felt angry, but more so because of the fact that Alejandro had jumped to my fucking side. Yeah, he’d never trust me, no matter how much he fucking pretended to care, but it was half my fault I guess; I did make Rayhan the Bastard’s pup cry not that long ago, although he was the one I was trying to scare. I turned my attention to the pup, glaring at her.
“The actual fuck? You psychotic -“
“Stupid person!”
“Leo did that to Azura first, Daddy!” Skyla added defensively. Liampicked the deranged pup up protectively, as if she was not a fucking psycho but a precious little shit.
“Put me down!” She screamed.
See?
“Come on, Zuzu, calm down,” Liam tried to soothe her.
“No! He hit me first!”
“But weren’t you saying ‘again, again’?” Liam asked gently, trying to calm his sister, who was struggling to get free.
“I don’t care! Give me the ball!” She shouted.
I stood up, ready to get the fuck out of there. I was done. Alejandro placed a hand on my shoulder as if he thought I was going to attack her or some shit.
“She’s a kid. Are you seriously going to start a fucking fight? Why the fuck were you using her as a target?” He asked, frowning. Once again, he had me fucking wrong. Nothing new there. My eyes blazed a steely blue as I shrugged him off.
“She’s a fucking maniac,” I growled.
“You’re the maniac!” Azura shouted, glaring at me murderously. “Get out of my sight, or I will poke your eyes out and cook them!”
Haha, kid. I wouldn’t mind picking on you a little longer, but I think I’ve fucking overstayed my welcome.
“Azura!” Her brother tried to calm her, unsuccessfully.
“Oh, yeah?” I growled.
“Yeah!”
One thing I learned from back then, and what happened over lunch, was not to trust that fucking calm of hers. The calmer she appears to be, the higher the chance that she isn’t okay. I wish I had the power to read her mind. Does Nikki really bother her to that extent? Or is she just fucking pissed at me for some other shit? Either way, she wants to get out of here, and I am going to show her out. I could have Eric or Emmet show her out, but I just need to see her one last fucking time…
She hasn’t accepted my rejection yet. The pull of the mate bond is so powerful, and I need it fucking gone. I’ll tell her to reject me. I’ll make sure this thing between us is destroyed. Just thethought of it unnerves me for some fucking reason. I run my hand through my spiky hair, trying not to let my thoughts divert elsewhere. Azura and I are never going to work.
An hour passes faster than I anticipate, even though I have done nothing but sit here. I have to go get her. I stand up, feeling the weight of reality sitting on my shoulders.
My phone beeps, and I look at the reminder that crosses the screen. Fuck, has a month passed already?
Slipping my phone into my pocket, I leave my office, only for Nikki to jump up from the sofa. She never disturbs me when I am in my office, my rules that she obeys, but sometimes it just let the dark thoughts consume me freely without a distraction. If it was Azura in her place, she would fucking throw out all the rules I had in place. It would make for one crazy life. How the fuck did the Goddess pair us?
“Leo, are you going out already? You changed?” She looks me over, and I frown.
Obviously, I fucking changed. The psycho fucking stabbed me, and I had blood everywhere.
“Azura is leaving.”
Azura
… I rolled her name on my tongue. I like how it sounded, even if she is a fucking maniac.
“She’s leaving?” Nikki looks surprised, and maybe a tad fucking happy.
“Yeah. Things didn’t work between her and her mate, so I’ll be showing her out.”
“Thank, Goddess.” She crosses her arms, and I raise an eyebrow.
“Do you have an issue with her?” I ask, taking a drag on my cigarette.
“Not really, she’s a little weird.” Her words irritate me, and I raise an eyebrow.
“Not following the fucking stereotype doesn’t make a person weird.”
Fuck, Leo, keep your mouth shut. Nikki looks surprisedat my comment as she walks over to me.
“So, are you saying you don’t find her weird?”
“I don’t really have an opinion about her.” I shrug coldly. She nods slowly.
“Okay, whatever. I’ll come with you to bid her farewell.”
