Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Chapter 111

111. My Resilience

AZURA.

He means Endora.

“Endora…” I say slowly.

Judah nods, “She was always power hungry … but she didn’t just talk the talk, she walked the walk. Endora was always like that.” He seems impressed by her.

Why is he talking about her as if he knew her?

“So, are you saying those with darkness in them can open this cave?” I ask. 1

“With her essence and yes, darkness, well done, Pet. You are learning well. Your so- called man was also one of her chosen

vessels, but unlike them, he was conflicted, and that conflict was the reason his body began rejecting the darkness. He had too much good in him to hold that power.

Despite his bitterness and hatred, he still

held light. I saw the strain that rejecting the darkness took on him on that rooftop when we fought…”

So that was it? The experiments she had done on Leo were to place her power inside of him as a backup… and his body had rejected it.

Judah continued, as his eyes skim over my barrier. “I saw that he was dying, and I hoped he’d die before I came for you, but you had to go heal him, didn’t you?” His

anger and resentment grow, and he glares at my stomach. “You belong to me, yet you betrayed me. You let another man fuck you and impregnate you.”

“I belong to Leo. I am pregnant with my mate’s child.” I snap coldly, turning my head so he can see my mark. The crescent

moon, with flames behind it, stars and a lotus. “Isn’t this proof enough?”

“Well, I’d like to see how he lives without

you because your time is running out. Then again, he’ll be dying soon too.” He says

darkly as he turns back to the table. “Those two gave me enough information for me to know Leo Rossi’s weaknesses.”

I frown, thinking about what he said about Emmet and Eric.

“He has none.” I snarl.

“Doesn’t he? He has many.” Judah shoots back menacingly. “The man who cares for his pack so dearly… I wonder if he’s coming for you or trying to protect the pack that is currently going up in flames duethats to the bombs placed there by Eric. At least he was useful before he ends up dead, if he isn’t

dead already.”

My heart thunders as I stare at him.

“Why harm the innocent!” I shout, fearing

for the lives of my pack members.

“Because I told you to come to me and you

didn’t!” He shoots back.

We glare back at each other, and I have to

tell myself that Leo will find the bombs and

hopefully come for us soon…

Judah was pure selfish, he really didn’t care

about anyone but himself, speaking of Eric NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

so casually. Not that I could forgive Eric

anyway.

“How did you ever meet the Garrons? What did you offer Emmet and Eric in return for their help?” I ask, trying not to show my burning rage.

“Power. They would rule that pack and I’d

take care of the Alpha and his son. I’m not

interested in werewolves and their packs. I just want power, a different kind of power.”

“Werewolves? Why talk about us as if you aren’t one of us?” I know he isn’t one, but I

wanted to know what he is.

“Because I’m not.” He tilts his head and

smirks.

“And what are you then?” I ask coldly.

“I’m not about to tell you that.”

“Fine… so how did you meet the brothers?”

“How we met… evil attracts evil… they were

looking for someone to help them and they… let’s just say they sought out my help.” I can see the anger in his eyes at those words. His entire body has tensed. 1

What is that about?

“Now how about you stop being a bitch and lower that shield.” His eyes are full of rage that he is trying to hide, and I know the conversation is done. “We’re done talking.”

How will they open this cave without anyone holding Endora’s essence? Will anyone find me here? 3

I push those thoughts away and glare at him.

“I think we’re ready.” He says, he picks up the knife he had placed down earlier, and I

see the red liquid that wraps around it, it evaporates becoming black smoke and he walks towards me, I tense reinforcing my shield, but he doesn’t stop, suddenly he’s right in front of the shield, and he slams the

knife into it.

I gasp, feeling the impact as the shadow

began spreading over my shield.

His smile spreads and my eyes blaze as I slowly place Corrado’s head on the ground, reinforcing the shield fully.

My eyes flash as he raises his knife, bringing it down on the barrier again. I blast it back

and he’s thrown against the far side of the cavern, but he’s up in seconds. “You can’t kill me you bitch!” He snarls and in a flash,

he’s in front of me, but I have my barrier back up.

No, I can’t and that is why I need to conserve

energy.

My eyes don’t leave him and his dart to the

dagger. Quickly I move my foot forward and drag the knife closer to me and out of his reach at super speed.

“No!” He roars, slamming into my barrier.”

I will kill you!”

His shouting makes Corrado stir, and he

wakes up, wrapping his arms around my leg.

“Mommy…”

“It’s going to be ok baby.” I say as Judah slams himself against the barrier once again. I flinch at the force, and I see it, the black smoke that seems to be oozing from

him.

What is he? 3

I hiss when the force of his next throw forces

me back but I stay braced, I will hold my

ground.

“We are going to get out of here soon, my Cherub. Just… close your eyes.” I say softly to Corrado, my eyes blazing as they remain

fixed on Judah.

He was trying to weaken me, and he is succeeding… I just have to hold on as long as

I can…

“Your heart will be mine, Azura! Your

essence will be mine!”

I can taste blood in my mouth as I keep the barrier strong. Until help arrives, I have to keep our pups safe…

Leo…

‘Always remember, no matter what crap comes your way, that the first person who

comes to your mind will always be there for you.’

I smile faintly.

Leo, Leo will come for us.
