“I’m not a fucking god that I can see the future. Now end this shit. It’s fucking done. Don’t make me regret even allowing Kiara to try,” I snarl, my eyes flashing.
“This isn’t over, Al – relax. I know you’re upset,” Kiara whispers, cupping his face and forcing him to look at her.
“Fucking hell,” I mutter, taking out a packet of cigarettes and taking one between my lips.
“Still, he tried to deal with that shit alone.” Alejandro growls, “He may not care for us but I fucking care.”
“I know, baby.”
Dickhead.
“You don’t fucking know me, so don’t think you know shit,” I growl back.
“Stop it. Both of you,” Azura snaps, standing up. When she places her hand on my shoulder as she looks between us, it is clear she is angry as much as she is upset.
“There’s no point in ifs and buts. It’s happened, and I’m not able to heal him. We need to find a solution,” Kiara says quietly.
“Yeah, and he’s trying, okay? Despite everything he’s been through, he’s trying to be a better person, Alejandro! Try to see that. I get that you are upset, but this is hard for him, too,” Azura adds, her eyes flashing with pain and frustration. Alejandro’s eyes meet hers. A frown on his face.
“Then he better fucking try harder to live,” he growls, his eyes flashing once more before he turns and storms out of the room. Kiara looks at Azura and me apologetically.
“He’s just hurt. I told him only a little earlier… I hoped I could fix it – he feels he failed you entirely,” she whispers, reaching over as she places a hand on both our cheeks before she looks down. “We will find a way. There’s Delsanra, Raihana, and maybe Dante might have the answer… we are going to figure this out… excuse me.”
“Thanks for trying,” I say when she turns to leave. I don’t even look at her, simply smoking my cigarette. She sighs softly, and I see her nod sadly before she leaves.
“We will find a way,” Azura murmurs, and I look down at her, wrapping my arm around her shoulders.
“Yeah,” I murmur while kissing her forehead softly. She leansinto me, and just then there is a light knock on the half-open door.
“Mind if I come in?” Dante asks, entering anyway. Azura turns to him, her heart racing, and I know she is about to ask him for help.
“Give us a minute, beautiful?” I ask quietly. It is obvious Dante wants to talk about something, and I really don’t want her to hear any more bad news today.
“Why can’t I be here?” She asks. I kiss her lips slowly, and she sighs in frustration. “One minute,” she says, frowning.
“Make it five,” I reply, smirking slightly. She nods slowly and reluctantly lets go of me. Our eyes meet, and I realise she only agreed because she is about to break…
“Okay,” she says, gripping my face as she pulls me down and kisses me hard. I kiss her back, letting the sparks roll through me.
I will try… for her, for our kids, and maybe for the other bastards who throw a hissy fit when shit doesn’t go their way.
She pulls away before turning and leaving the room.
“What do you fucking want?” I ask Dante, smoking my cigarette. He smiles slightly, taking a seat in his dad’s chair and crossing his ankles on the desk.
“I have a question… years ago, I swore an oath on Azura that I would grant you a favour whenever you need it. Why didn’t you ever call? I owed you; it would have just been a favour owed, nothing more.” I raise an eyebrow.
“Don’t you usually fucking know everything? You should know the answer to your question,” I reply. I’m fucking surprised I never looked deeper into why he had chosen Azura to swear on. The fucker is smart, I’ll give him that. He smiles faintly.
“I think people forget I don’t know everything. I’m a Demi-God, not a god, and even then, even gods are not all-knowing or all-powerful. Even they have weaknesses,” he replies.
“Hm.”
“So, tell me why you didn’t call on that favour?” Great, he’s still stuck on that.
“Why would I call on a favour that involved saving someone’s life?” I mutter, turning my back on him. A moment’s silence follows as I walk over to the window and open it, leaning against the frame as I smoke.
“Rayhan’s mother, who you hated at the time.”
“Still hate,” I growl.
“Sure. But answer the question.”
“I have nothing against her, and besides… no one deserves to lose their parents… unless, of course, the parents are fucking twats.” He chuckles, and I hear him get up.
“You’re really a good person, Leo. If only you knew…” He leans against the other side of the window and looks up at the moon. I wonder what he means, but even if I ask, he won’t tell me.
“I should have fucking known something was up when you took an oath on her back then. It was fucking weird since you two argued and fought a lot,” I remark.
“Well, I had to play it smart since I didn’t know what you might ask for, and I knew you’d never be able to take a wrong oath on her.”
“You were a smart little shit.”
He smirks, “But if we’re talking smarter, it’s you. I just know things; you figure them out.”
Azura enters the office again, and I glance at the time. She sure didn’t waste time; she left exactly five minutes ago. When she comes in front of me, I can see her eyes are red. She has been crying…
I pull her close, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her neck softly. She leans into me, her heart pounding under my touch.
“Well, first of all, Delsanra, Raihana, and even I can’t heal you,but…”
Azura is about to react when I tighten my arms around her.
Relax, Sexy Mama, I murmur through the link, seeing Dante’s face turned towards the moon.
