“Y-yes, Alpha,” she says, fidgeting.
I don’t wait for a reply as I leave the room, making sure no one sees me as I slip away. Jackie’s words from earlier fill my mind, but I push them away. I won’t think about them for tonight. All I want to do is shift and go for a run, but I can’t. I have things to do. It is time I fucking found this ex of Azura’s and show him exactly what happens when you mess with me.
A Strange Result
Azura
Idon’t want to be back here. It is hard being here and feeling this pain. I still don’t know how to feel about him wanting to help. Sure, it feels great having someone as smart, powerful, and ruthless as Leo on my side, but I also know that Judah is twisted, dark, and manipulative. Will Leo be able to fix this? It is a game of risk.
I stay in the shower for a while before I wrap a towel around myself, then dry my hair with a second towel. I walk into the bedroom, spotting the tray of food on the bed. My stomach rumbles, and I can’t wait to dig in. Goddess, I am starved.
I pull on my panties and walk over to the wardrobe, taking out a white shirt. I look at it before putting it on. I sigh heavily as I plop onto the bed, reminiscing on the moment he had held my hair back when I vomited.
And he should, this is his kid, too! But he doesn’t know I am pregnant…
Well, it seems he has some humanity in him.
This baby… I am beginning to realise I may not be able to keep it from him. If he wants to see his child, can I really be a bitch and refuse him? I pick up the tray, place it on the bed, and begin eating.
Since I am going to be staying here, I need to get Dante’s necklace somehow without Leo realising why, and I think it istime I told Mama and them who my mate is. And the fact that I am here at the Sangue Pack.
I play with the pasta. Despite how hungry I am, I’m suddenly not really in the mood to eat. I notice the bag on the bed and pull it closer, emptying its contents. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a body sponge, toothpaste, a toothbrush, a pack of tampons, a hairbrush, and moisturiser. Wow, seems like he can be a little considerate. Shame for him I used his toothbrush and products already. I shrug as I pick up the box of tampons and toss them in the air. I smack it, letting it fly across the room. It hits the wall and drops to the floor.
Now that is something I don’t need, thanks to the dumb Rossi and his sperm.
I begin eating again, my gaze flitting to the tablet, musing over my options. I could contact Dante via email. Yeah, I know, old-school, but at least he’ll get it and hopefully check it soon… Kat even gave me his number, but oh well. I pick up the tablet and switch it on. The screen goes blank for a second before it turns on. Logging into my email, I find Dante’s address and begin typing a message.
Hey, nephew!
Hope you are enjoying your time in Italy. Eat my share of pizza and pasta, and send me pictures.
So, the reason I am messaging you, and I really hope you see this message… I need to borrow a certain amulet of yours. You can probably guess what I’m talking about and why… I know you wear it… but is there a chance I can borrow it for a bit? Please? I’ll stop nagging you about calling me Aunty? And don’t ignore me. I am very sorry for putting the scorpion down your swimming trunks a few years ago and for adding super glue to your hair last year, I swear I was just jealous. You know I have to hold the title of the best hair, right? I mean, aside from Rayhan.
Anyway, since I apologised, can I borrow it?’
Lots and lots of love, your simple, poor, innocent, misguided Aunty – sorry, I mean Azura, not Aunty.
I love you lots, remember that, okay? Even your annoying face. Okay, bye.
I look at my messages, thinking I have pranked him a lot over the years, with the help of Sky, of course. The guy needed to lighten up a little. Broody Rossis…
I place the tablet aside and eat some more pasta. Through the frosty wall of the bedroom, I notice the outside room light up a little. Is Leo back down here?
Today has been strange. I sigh as I finish eating, placing the tray to the side, and lay down on the bed, pondering over everything that has happened. I sigh heavily once again as I place my hand on my belly.
I’m sorry, little one. I hope I’m not stressing you out.
I feel exhausted, and I hope tomorrow is a better day…
The following day, I’m awoken by Leo knocking on the door, leaving breakfast and a few bags of clothes outside before I see him disappear through another door.
His weird behaviour has surprised me, but I don’t ponder over it much before helping myself to breakfast and getting ready for the day, although I’m not sure I’m going to see anything outside of this room.
I have checked the tablet several times, but there is no message from Dante yet.
It is now past one in the afternoon when a knock on the door makes me look up. Leo opens it before I even say enter.
“You should knock and wait,” I remark.
Our eyes meet, but he is as emotionless as ever. Something has changed, though. I can’t be sure, but since the last time we talked, there is something off about him. He doesn’t reply to my comment and instead frowns seriously.
“I need you to give me all the information you can on your ex; full name, age, height, anything, including any images you may have of him. I also need certain dates and locations that might help me. So, when you have a moment, come outside.”
“Okay,” I reply, equally as emotionless.
Neither of us looks away, staring at one another for a moment longer before Leo looks away, his eyes falling to the discarded tampon box I had thrown last night. I feel my cheeks heat up slightly, and I frown.
“I’m a devil, and devils don’t bleed,” I state, although he didn’t ask me anything.
I want to smack myself. That sure was dumb, I admit, but yeah, right now, I don’t bleed from down there…
He simply raises an eyebrow before closing the door after him with a small snap. Weird. He is behaving fucking weird… and I had just said the weirdest shit to him. Oh, well, what is there to lose? He already rejected me, so I’ll be as strange as I want to be.
I get up and place all the dishes in a pile. I’ll take them outside with me. I pick up the tampon box and shove it into the bag before making the bed and checking my email once more. Nothing. I wonder if Leo can access everything. The way he talked unnerved me a little, like he could hack into anything…
Once the room looks presentable, I look in the mirror. I am wearing a black satin cami that is tucked into torn skinny jeans. I pull on some heeled boots, ready to leave my room. There are a few sports bras and briefs in the bags, too. Whoever had gotten them had definitely had an idea of my size, but what annoys me the most is this stuff is all branded. I don’t want to owe him anything.
I run my fingers through my hair and leave the room with the dishes.
“Where shall I put these?” I ask when my eyes fall on Leo, sitting back in his seat, his long legs sprawled in front of him with a hand resting under his chin. In black jeans and a black tee, he looks beyond handsome. The entire room smells of him, a scent that I can’t help but find very appealing.
“Put them near the door.” He jerks his head towards the door we had entered through last night. I do as he said, feeling his eyes on me. I turn and walk over to him. There is no other chair in here, so he motions to me to sit on the edge of the desk.
“I’m okay standing,” I reply, trying not to look at the belt he is wearing with a statement buckle. He doesn’t reply, instead turning to the screen next to me.
