“I’m not his goddamn guest, and I will attack someone if they fuck-“
“Leo will kick you out if you cause trouble,” Emmet snaps,ripping his shirt off and wiping his bloody face. Even though he is pretty lean, he is well-built. Well, the kicks are proof of that…
“Oh? Even if he knows the truth? Then how about we take this to Alpha Marcel?” I challenge. His eyes flash, and he clenches his fist.
“He just got back from his trip. Let’s not make things harder for him,” he says, and Eric frowns, nodding.
“Hmm. Sure,” I say, gripping my forearm and rolling my wrist.
“You both need to go get seen over… damn, Emmet, you’re literally going to need to get that glued,” Eric mutters, poking a bit of skin that is actually hanging. I sure did a number on him, but he fucking deserved it. I examine my nails.
“Oh, look, I think I have bits of skin under my nails. Do you want it back?” I ask, blinking innocently as I flick whatever crap of his was under my nails at him. His eyes flash murderously, but he says nothing, simply shaking his head.
“I guess this is what the Elite think. That they can just walk into any pack and do whatever the fuck they want…” he mutters quietly. I don’t bother replying. I have no idea what he may be telling Eric through the link, but this isn’t over.
“I’m going back to my apartment,” I state when we round the building.
“You may need to be seen, Azura,” Eric says, although he no longer sounds so friendly.
“No, I don’t. It’s a few bruises, they’ll heal,” I reply coldly.
“Me too. I’m going to return home. Jackie can fix this up.” His cold eyes meet mine, and I feel my anger rise at just the mention of Jackie.
“Alright… I will be mentioning this to Alpha Leo,” Eric states, looking between the two of us.
“Sure, so will I,” I reply as Eric continues to lead us inside the building as if he doesn’t trust us alone. Well, heck, neither do I.
“Like he’d take the word of an Elite princess over his bestfriend,” Emmet mutters.
“I truly pity him for having such a best friend, then,” I reply as we enter the lift.
Those words of his sting but I wonder if Leo would take my word or his. It is something that I am unable to push away. Like, why should I care if he doesn’t believe me? Sure, I will make sure Jackie’s issue is made known to at least one person who can help her. Eric may not believe me, and if Leo who technically isn’t the Alpha yet doesn’t believe me, then I will break my promise to Jackie and tell Marcel. But I know the reason I want to see if Leo will believe me or not is personal… almost like a test. A test for what? I have no idea.
“Right, the both of you, go to your own apartments. Now,” Eric orders, sounding like that annoying older brother.
“Sure, or we can go see if Jackie will just have a quick check over of me, too. What do you think, Eric, would that be okay?” I ask innocently, giving him the best innocent expression that I can put on despite feeling completely pissed off. The brothers exchange looks, but Emmet shakes his head.
“No,” he says coldly.
“Why not?” I ask, sauntering over to their door.
Sorry, Jackie, you kept my trust, but I won’t be doing the same.
“Eric, I’m trying to be calm. As Delta, I’m commanding you to get her to her apartment, she’s not entering mine.”
“Emmet, it won’t take long for Jackie to have a look at her.”
“Maybe he’s simply just scared that someone will see why this entire fight even began,” I remark, ringing Jackie’s door.
“What do you mean?” Eric asks sharply.
“Want to tell him, or shall I?” I challenge Emmet. He just looks confused as he raises an eyebrow.
“You attack me after looking down on our pack, and mock the fact that Leo isn’t Alpha. What do you mean?” He asks just as the door opens to reveal Jackie.
She is wearing a different top now that covers her neck, but apart from that, she looks absolutely fine, with slightly heavier makeup on than before, covering the bruise on her face entirely. My stomach sinks at the smile on her face realising she is going to play along. She is going to hide Emmet’s truth, just the way Indigo hid Fred’s. I swallow, looking at her intently as her smile fades, looking between me and Emmet.
“Oh my… Emmet…” She rushes to his side, touching his face gingerly.
“I’m okay, doll, it’s nothing,” he says.
Say it, Azura. Eric is standing there, and I realise I need to. Even if no one believes me, I’d speak the truth.
“You hurt Jackie. I saw the marks. Jackie… you don’t need to deal with this,” I say, looking between the three. She exchanges looks with the men before turning to me with a look of confusion on her face.
“I have no idea what you mean, Azura. You must have misunderstood… Emmet left in anger because the TV wasn’t working.” She gives me a small smile and shakes her head. Eric sighs as he looks at me in disappointment.
“I’m sorry, Azura, you seemed like a nice girl… I didn’t think you’d try to cause issues like this. Maybe they’re right… good night, guys.” He walks off, and I feel awful as I turn to Jackie, who is guiding Emmet inside.
“Good night, Azura,” she says, and that’s when I see it, the tiny glimmer of guilt in her eyes before she shuts the door in my face.
Will You Believe Me
Leo
Schurke Wolf, my alias, the name the cartel world knows me by. I rule the United Kingdom from the underground, with ties and allies in Italy, Germany, and most European countries. Power and money, I have it all. The humans look to their king and prime minister, and the supernatural species looks to Alejandro, but from the shadows, England is mine.
Humans work for me, and although they don’t know who I am exactly, they sense the power that I hold. They can feel it when in my presence and know I am not to be trifled with. I am feared by all, and there are not many who can look me in the eye.
My most trusted men from my pack are also part of my cartel, but I always made it clear that if they want to step back from the front lines, they are welcome to because in this world, death is always hanging over you. Luckily, being a werewolf makes us pretty much invincible when it comes to dealing with humans. But even then, the risk of the unknown is always there, and I do not want my people to be left without their mates because of my own ambitions. Nothing happens without my knowledge, and if someone ever tries to double cross me, then I fucking take care of them.
I now wear a dark grey suit, a black shirt, and smart boots as I head to one of my underground warehouses. The drugs havefinally arrived, and I am here to take a look at them myself. I am flanked by my most trusted; the Six as they are referred to. Ace, Shane, Dan, Jin, Li, and Jax. I don’t trust easily, but these six, I grew up with them, and I know they are ideal for this job. They go by aliases here, just like most of us. Within the pack, we don’t really show that we talk much. I prefer not to mix the two identities. Only Ace and Jax live at the pack, whilst the other four live in the city.
I slow down as I look at the crates in front of me. The LSD has been separated from the fruit they had been compiled with, and I look at the endless packets in the assorted crates, letting out a low whistle. We did it. One huge, risky, shipment, but with the correct planned journey that I had mapped, they got into the UK without being discovered by border control. I crouch down by one of the crates, opening one of the clear packs and take a pinch in my fingers. I sniff it; it is clean. The very best that money can buy.
