Chapter 24
24. A Strange Result AZURA.
I didn‘t want to be back here, it was hard being here and feeling this pain. I still didn‘t know how to feel
about him wanting to help, sure it felt great having someone as smart, powerful, and ruthless as Leo on
my side, but I also knew that Judah was twisted, dark, and maniptive. Would Leo be able to fix this?
It was a game of risk.
I stayed in the shower for a while, before I wrapped a towel around myself, then dried my hair with a
second towel. I walked into the bedroom, spotting the tray of food on the bed.
My stomach rumbled and I couldn‘t wait to dig in.
Goddess, I was starved.
I pulled on my panties and walked over to the wardrobe, taking out a white shirt. I looked at it before
putting it on.
I sighed heavily as I plopped onto the bed, reminiscing on the moment he had held my hair back when I
vomited. 1
And he should, this was his kid too! 1
But he didn‘t know I was pregnant... 2
Well it seems he had some humanity in him.
This baby... I was beginning to realise I may not be able to keep it from him... If he wanted to see his
child, could I really be a bitch and refuse him? I picked up the tray, cing it on the bed and began
eatingAll content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Since I was going to be staying here, I needed to get Dante‘s ne somehow. Without Leo realising
why, and I think it was time I told Mama and them who my mate was, and the fact I was here at the
Sangue Pack.
I yed with the pasta. Despite how hungry I was, I suddenly wasn‘t really in the mood to eat. I noticed
the bag on the bed and pulled 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 shrugged as I picked up the box of tampons and tossed them in the
air. I smacked it, letting it fly across the room, it hit the wall and drop to the floor. Now that was
something I didn‘t need, thanks to the dumb Rossi and his sperm. 3 I began 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 picked
up the tablet and switched it on, the screen went nk for a second before it turned on. 1
Logging into my email, I found Dante‘s address and began 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? 5
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 hairst 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. 5
Anyway, since I apologised, can I borrow it?‘ 1 Lots and lots of love your simple, poor, innocent,
misguided aunty – Sorry, I mean Azura, not aunty.
I love you lots, remember that ok, even your annoying face. Ok, bye.‘ 1
I looked at my messages, thinking I had pranked him a lot over the years, with the help of Sky of
course. The guy needed to lighten up a little. Broody Rossis... 4
I ced the tablet aside and ate some more pasta. Through the frosty wall of the bedroom, I noticed
the outside room light up a little, was Leo back down here?
Today had been strange... I sighed as I finished eating, cing the tray to the side andy down on the
bed, pondering over everything that had happened. I sighed heavily once again as I ced my hand on
my belly.
I‘m sorry little one. I hope I‘m not stressing you out.
I felt exhausted and I hoped tomorrow was a better day...
–––––
The following day I had been awoken by Leo knocking on the door, leaving breakfast and a few bags of
clothes outside. I had just seen him disappear through another door.
His weird behaviour had surprised me, but I didn‘t ponder over it much before helping myself to
breakfast and then getting ready for the day, although I wasn‘t sure I was going to see anything outside
of this room.
I had checked the tablet several times, but there was no message from Dante yet. It was now past one
in the afternoon, when a knock on the door made me look up, and Leo opened it before I even said
enter. “You should knock and wait.” I remarked. Our eyes met, but he was as emotionless as ever.
Something had changed though, I wasn‘t sure, but since thest time we had talked, there was
something off about him. He didn‘t reply to myment, and instead frowned seriously. 2
“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,e outside.”
“Ok.” I replied, equally as emotionless. Neither of us looked away, staring at one another for a moment
longer, before Leo looked away, his eyes falling to the discarded tampon box I had thrownst night. I
felt my cheeks heat up slightly and I frowned.
“I‘m a devil, and devils don‘t bleed.” I stated, although he didn‘t ask me anything, .
I wanted to smack myself..
That sure was dumb, I admit, but yeah, right now I don‘t bleed from down there...
He simply raised an eyebrow, before closing the door after him with a small snap.
Weird. He was 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 got up and ced all the dishes in a pile, I‘ll take them outside with me. I picked up the tampon box
and shoved it into the bag, before making the bed and checking my email once more.
Nothing
I wonder if Leo could ess everything. The way he talked unnerved me a little, like he could hack into
anything...
Once the room looked presentable, I looked in the mirror. I was wearing a ck satin cami that was
tucked into the torn skinny jeans. I pulled on some heeled boots, ready to leave my room.
There had been a few sports bras and briefs in the bags too, whoever had gotten them had definitely
had an idea of my size, but what annoyed me the most was this stuff was all branded. I didn‘t want to
owe him anything.
I ran my fingers through my hair and left the room with the dishes. “Where shall I put these?” I asked
when my eyes fell on Leo, sitting back in his seat, his long legs sprawled in front of him and a hand
resting under his chin. in ck jeans and a ck tee, he looked beyond handsome.
The entire room smelt of him, a scent that I couldn‘t help but find very appealing.
“Put them near the door.” He jerked his head towards the door we had entered throughst night.
I did as he said, feeling his eyes on me. 1 I turned and walked over to him. There was no other chair in
here, so he motioned to me to sit on the edge of the desk “I‘m ok standing.” I replied, trying not to look
at the belt he was wearing with a statement buckle.
He didn’t reply, instead turning to the screen next to me. “From your call records, the unknown numbers
you received calls from have all been different, most likely from burner phones. But from what I‘ve
observed, he has been rerouting messages sent to your phone, and from your phone, to himself.
Meaning from Scarlett‘s,
Liarn‘s, Elljah‘s, all of their numbers. The only ones that seemed to be safe from this is Alejandro’s and
his family‘s numbers.” He exined, seriously looking at the screen. I wanted to ask how on earth he
got into my old phone data, but I decided not to ask him irrelevant questions. There was an odd tension
radiating off of him, and after my ridiculous breakdownst night with him stopping me from rejecting
him, things were already odd…
I cleared my head, paying attention to him.
“So does that mean he‘s wary of Alejandro finding out?” “Most likely. I don‘t think he will release any
images of Kataleya or Sk, I think that‘s definitely something he said to scare you with. He probably
knew it would fuck you up. They are Alejandro‘s daughters, that is not an enemy he wants to make.”
Leo‘s deep seductive voice murmured. 1
“Judah is sick, he would do anything, I wouldn‘t put it past him.” I replied, a cold shiver running down
my spine. “I don‘t know, we‘ll see.”
He was like an entirely different man right now; mature, serious, and calm.
He took a cigarette out from his pocket, and I watched him light it, my stomach fluttering. 2
His eyebrow shot up questioningly as he caught me staring.
“Want one?”
“No thanks.” I said, turning and staring at the screen. “You said his name was Judah, Judah what?”
“Gahan.”
“Gahan... Why does that name sound so fucking familiar...” Leo sat forward, pulled up another
window and began typing something, a string of numbers appeared before several windows popped
up.
Goddess, this was gibberish to me...
“Gahan… There was a Gahan family in the Shadow Wolves Pack, but didn‘t they die?” He frowned
as I looked at him sharply.
“Meaning?” I really had no idea, nor had I heard of it. “I just know although he didn‘t reside in his pack,
he wasn‘t a rogue, just a lone wolf.” “Hmm, well let‘s see if they‘re linked, or if I can identify him.
There‘s a chance he may have used a fake identity.” My heart skipped a beat at just the thought that I
may not even know Judah‘s real identity.
“Rx, it‘s just an assumption.” “You‘re being pretty nice today, why?” I asked, unable to stop myself as
I watched him suspiciously.
He raised an eyebrow, his eyes cold as he looked me over.
“I n to make you lower your guard, and then when you least suspect it, I intend to devour you.” He
shot back sarcastically. 13
We both froze, and I realised although he hadn‘t meant it toe out like that, that sentence could be
taken two ways. ? And the image that shed through my mind made my pussy clench in anticipation.
“Yeah, and I mean like Red Riding Hood and the wolf.” He muttered, and I smirked, he had thought the
very same thing. “Oh? Sure didn‘t sound like that.” I taunted, d he was looking at the screen.
His eyes snapped to me, and I wish I hadn‘t jinxed it.
“The fact you thought it meant that‘s where your mind went too. What‘s wrong? Thinking about a
certain night?” He taunted slowly, his eyes flickering a steely blue.
“I can say the same about you then, and no I was not thinking about anything, because if I had a
chance to redo that night, I‘d have bitten your dick off when I had the chance.” I replied, smirking
confidently at the sh of surprise that flickered in his eyes at my words. 1
“Don‘t poke a wolf if you aren‘t ready for the consequences.” His voice was low and dangerous, making
my core clench. The temptation to push him further enticed me, but remembering Nikki, I forced myself
to focus on the topic at hand. 2
Hisputer beeped before I could reply, and there on the screen were several profiles, most of which
contained images alongside the information. I shifted from where I was now perched against the edge
of the desk, and moved closer to see better, just as Leo leaned closer too.
Jeremiah Gahan, Lydia Gahan... I skimmed through. Most of these were from a century ago. My
heart skipped a beat just as Leo clicked on one profile that contained no image.
Judah Gahan...
An eerie ominous chill surrounded me as memories of his torment returned. “Judah Gahan… as I
thought.” Leo murmured. “I was right, this family died out years ago.” “No, that says Judah–” “Look at
the date.” Leo cut in, grabbing hold of my chin and turning my face back to theputer. 1
I frowned, about to snap at him when my eyes fell on the date beneath Judah‘s name. My heart
thumped as I grabbed hold of Leo‘s wrist. “How is that.”
There written right under Judah‘s name, was a date of death. A date that was over fifty years ago...
My heart thudded as fear encased me, a fear like none before.
What on earth was happening? Who was Judah? And why had he taken the name of someone who
was long dead? 3
