‘No pressure even if we don’t get that shit sorted. I won’t die that fast.
‘We are going to heal you.’ She replied firmly before turning to Dad. “Sounds like a plan, if you need me to do anything I’m happy to help.”
“Thank you Azura, you will make a good Luna.” He said, making her smile before he left the room.
I knew she had doubts about it, how she didn’t feel she’ll do a good job, guess she doesn’t fucking realise she was born to do it and she’ll deliver. Not every Luna is the same and Azura would be the perfect Luna for me and this pack.
“You will be perfect. Just be you. Fuck the rest.” I said quietly leaning over and kissing her lips softly, she placed her hand on my cheek and kissed me back before I moved away.
“I like the slight stubble, you suit it.”
I guess I was far too busy to keep on top of shaving, and a lot of shit has been going on.
“Good.” I replied as she gave me a wink and returned to her file.
I knew what happened between her and Nikki yesterday, Jax had told me earlier but said not to mention it to Azura. She had handled herself well, but Nikki did deserve a punishment, so I had put her on house arrest with someone watching her constantly. I had her phone and her devices confiscated from her.
I didn’t trust her. Not around Azura or even anywhere near her.
If Emmet could betray me, so could Nikki, and she didn’t keep her hatred for Azura a secret.
I was certain she was the one who had spread the fact that Judah was Azura’s ex to the pack, but how did she even fucking find out?
That was a question I didn’t know the answer to yet.
As for the vitamins given to Azura, they were perfectly fine, but I had still tossed them out and made Dan go and get some more for her. You can’t be too careful. Ever. It’s always better safe than sorry.
I traced circles on her thigh, there was something vital I needed to do before then and before this meeting, and that was to make a very important call…
It was a short while later when Corrado returned, and after spending a short while with him, I got the chance to leave and head upstairs to the bedroom. Time to get this shit over with…
I sat on the bed, smoking a cigarette, as I hit call on a number I had saved not so long ago. After a few rings, it was answered.
“Hello?” Came the deep voice.
I was actually fucking doing this…
Exhaling silently, I answered; “Elijah. It’s Leo.”
LEO.
A silence followed, and I took a drag on my cigarette. He knew we were together now, which should have taken the fucking shock factor out of this call. “Are you following so I can fucking continue?” I heard him blow out a short breath. “Leo, this is a surprise…”
“It shouldn’t really be one considering you obviously know I have overcome my issues, somewhat.”
“Your issues?”
I smirked humorlessly. “We both know I was the one who had the issues, right? I accept that if that’s what you want. Let’s not sugarcoat that shit. Is Scarlett there?” I was sure she was. “Yes, I’m here, hello Leo.”
“Hi.” I replied, smoking my cigarette.
“I’m glad the two of you have sorted things out.” She added.
“But I’m assuming you’re still angry, and I don’t fucking blame you. I hurt her and I know an apology isn’t going to change that shit, but still… I’m sorry, what I did is not something that can just be swept under the rug.” It wasn’t easy to apologize, but when it came to her- for her, it became fucking easier.
“You aren’t wrong.” Elijah replied quietly.
“I know my apology is just a fucking word, but I will prove to be a better person for her. I’ll keep her happy, and I’ll sure as fuck take care of her. She’s my responsibility now, and I assure you that she’s in good hands.” I smirked at those words, remembering how good her ass looked in my hand…
They were silent for a moment, and I knew they were probably conversing through the mind link. The only thing I hated about phone calls was that you couldn’t deduce a person’s facial expression to figure out what they were thinking.
After another long moment, Elijah spoke. “I’m glad you two have sorted it out. I was angry, but it’s not the first time I’ve had to see one of my daughters go through something like this… I hope like Alejandro, you will treat her well.”
“I won’t treat her like Alejandro treats Kiara, I plan to treat her way better.” I replied, and I fucking meant it. “Your daughter is about to become Luna on this coming full moon, and I wanted to personally call and invite all her loved ones to be here for it. You are welcome to come at any time, even if it’s days prior to the ceremony.” I ran my fingers through my hair before I continued. “The Sangue Pack extends its hand of friendship to the Blood Moon, and I… I promise that the Sangue Pack will be there for the Blood Moon if ever the need arises.” And I fucking meant it.
Scarlett let out a small laugh, but I could tell she was emotional. “Well, he’s sure better with words than Alejandro.”
Obviously.
“I’ll withhold my judgement until I see how you treat her and how happy she is.” Elijah responded, not as impressed as his counterpart, “We will be there.”
“Great, please pass on the message to whomever else you think she’d like here.”
“We will.” Elijah answered.
“Is Azura there?” Scarlett asked.
“No, she isn’t; I didn’t really inform her I was about to call.” I replied, thinking this was… weird. These were practically my in-laws…
Ones who I used to call the elite…
It’s crazy how in such a short time around her has made me realise things, accept them, and move on…
I felt lighter…
“Well, we appreciate your call Leo, I will look forward to seeing you soon.” Scarlett spoke.
