MARCEL. I returned home, hearing Winona and Corrado in the lounge and although I was tempted to go greet him, I knew she wasn’t comfortable around me alone. I had messed that up and I really have no idea why I did what I did. Fuck, I screwed up big time and why did I even think she’d be interested? I was sixty; she was twenty-six, that’s a big gap. Sighing heavily, I headed to the kitchen to make myself a mug of coffee. The trial from earlier was still fresh in my mind. Eric’s reaction was extremely worrying… Of course, I understand the compassion killing, rather than having someone who hates him pull the bullet. Eric himself did it to make it easier for his brother. For Emmet to know that those he hates weren’t the ones who killed him, would make it easier for him to go… but I didn’t think Eric was the type to ever be able to kill anyone, let alone his brother. There was no hesitation in him, not even a tremor to his wrist… His heartbeat was fast, but that was it. I ran my fingers

AZURA. Skyla sighed and nodded “Yeah well the Moon Goddess has a crazy mind, I wonder what she’s up to… I’m dealing though, so how are you adapting here?” She asked, changing the subject. “Great, Leo’s friends and the pack are really welcoming. You know…” I began, my heart beating as I wasn’t sure if I should mention it… “Leo… he’s dying.” Both girls looked at me, shock clear on their faces as Skyla sat up, her eyes blazing that deep plum colour once again. “What do you mean? Can Mama not fix him?” I shook my head. “Kia can’t heal what’s gone.” “Yeah… But there has to be a solution. I…” Kataleya whispered, shaking her head worriedly. “There is, I can heal him.” I said. I sat up as both girls looked at me questioningly. “What do you mean?” Skyla asked as Malevolent jumped into her lap, purring. She stroked her, watching me intently. I took a deep breath. “I have the moon fire too… or as Dante put it, I am the heart of fire.” I said, closing my eyes as I summoned my powers forth

AZURA. Leo exhales, and I know he isn’t happy that I told Liam, but I am not going to keep hiding it. They need to know the truth, and I will tell them today. I move away from Leo and hug Liam, who is still trying to get his head wrapped around what I just said. He looks down at me, frowning deeply. “Your ex?” I don’t blame him for being confused. I never really told anyone about Judah… “How about we head inside, and we talk? I need to tell Mama and Dad too… Alejandro and Kiara will be here shortly as well…” I say turning to look at Leo, I had felt the sharp pain rip through me and knew something had happened and so I had ran to check on them. “I don’t want two of the men that I love the most fighting… Please.” Liam sighs softly, hugging me tightly and kisses my forehead, before he rests his chin on top of my head for a few moments. I know why he’s hurting, he’s always spoiled me, always treated me well no matter what I did. That night, when he found me, I saw the pain he was in,

LEO.I had felt Azura's emotions through the bond when she talked to her parents and I had put my walls up, giving her the privacy of her own mind. All I could do was give her strength and calmness through the bond, but she was doing great without it.The place is a damn full house, and everyone isn’t even here yet. Raihana and Chris have just arrived with their thirteen-year-old son Tatum and daughter Heaven, who is ten.“Thanks for inviting us.” Chris says after I finish shaking hands with the kids.“Not an issue.” I reply. I did not need everyone to thank me. That is fucking weird.“So what do we call you?” Heaven asks, frowning slightly as she looks at me. She’s a witch-werewolf hybrid. The power clearly oozes off her. She is the first daughter of Endora’s line after all, and although I know that the link between Raihana and Endora was severed… she is still powerful.“Leo’s fine.” I reply and she nods, tossing her hair over her shoulder; she is definitely a little Raihana in the ma

AZURA. A lot was riding on tonight, but despite the weight of what was to come, I was happy and so excited for tonight. Tonight, I will join my new family, and be bound to Leo officially before this pack, my family and loved ones. I walk between Mama and Dad approaching the venue. The full moon is high in the sky and a cool breeze blows past us. Tonight is so peaceful… “You look beautiful in blue,” I tell Mama, admiring her sexy royal blue gown. “Of course, it will compliment your eyes in the photos.” She says, smiling at me. I nod, too emotional to say more. I look down at myself, although all I could see were my boobs that were pushed up in this fitted dress. I don’t think I have ever felt so beautiful, save the times Leo makes love to me. My dress is fitted to my thighs, and hugs all my curves, including my bump, although the rest of the women said that just made it look even better. I was surprised that I agreed. This bump was proof of Leo's and my union. A baby we made, toge
