Chapter 137
“I would like to begin by thanking you, Luciano,” Leo started as we entered the large room to see
Luciano stood amongst five other men.
“It was my pleasure. Anything to help out an old friend,” he replied smiling at Leo before sending
me a devious smirk.
“I hope that her mouth and wit didn’t get on your nerves too much,” Leo said
“Well, she is a difficult woman to control I must admit but nothing the both of us can’t handle. I do
wish the same could be said for my men,” he said gesturing to two of the men with black eyes and
another with a cut lip.
“Okay, but the lip was Max!” I protested. “You can’t blame me for that.”
“I apologise for the trouble my Luna has brought you. Is there any way I can repay you for this
favour?”
“I was hoping you’d ask.”
Leo smiled and put on an expecting expression like he didn’t already know exactly what Luciano
would ask for. His hand also found its way to my waist where it lingered tightly as if to warn me not
to argue with this
He appears to have missed the memo: I don’t follow anyone’s orders anymore.
“I’d like permission to rejoin your pack,” Luciano announced.
“And I think it is a terrible idea,” I retaliated.
“This doesn’t concern you. Please be quiet,” Leo ordered.
“It entirely concerns me. I care about your pack too, Leonardo. Why else would I be here? And I
know that Luciano can bring nothing but evil. He’s twisted and malicious. Do you not remember
why you banished him in the first place?”
“Just the thought of anything happening to you,” he said taking both of my hands in his. “And I hate
that you are covered in the scents of Luciano and Diego and Max and God knows who else. I can’t
help but be protective. There are so many people in this world out to get you or use you as a
weapon against me. Just the thought of losing you…”
I sighed and pulled his head onto my shoulder. He nuzzled his head into the crook of my neck and
inhaled my scent.
“I’m fine, Leonardo. I’m still alive, aren’t I?” I said.
He nodded his head and placed his hands on my waist. He then lifted his head and tightly closed his
eyes before regaining his usual Alpha like stance.
“And I can have a shower to get those scents off me. I am in serious need of one anyway,” I said.
“I’m not going to argue with you on that,” he laughed.
Half an hour later, I was walking out of the bathroom with a very small towel just about covering
me.
Leo looked up, smiled and then cast his eyes down to my completely bare legs.
“Keep your willy in your pants, Leonardo. It was the biggest towel I could find,” I said rolling my
eyes.
“Sorry. It’s just it has been a while,” he said unable to take his eyes off me. “And damn, that is a sight
for sore eyes,” he added with that devilishly sexy look on his face.
I blushed before picking up the clean clothes from the bed and backing back into the bathroom.
I leant on the bathroom door, breathing heavily and my cheeks still heating up. After all this time, I
had forgotten how he could make me feel with just a Godly smile and a couple of words. I tried my
best to shake myself out of it before proceeding to get dressed and resist the temptation to run out
there half naked and jump his bones.
When I was done, I headed back out to the bedroom where I stood in front of the mirror and tied
my slightly damp hair into a little ponytail.
I could see him in the mirror, staring at me. Half in a creepy way, half with a look of awe. Looks like
I’m not the only one who missed our company.
“I have something for you,” Leo said. In the mirror, I watched him reach into his pocket and
withdraw something before making his way over to me. “You forgot this,” he said standing behind
me and placing a thin silver chain around my neck with a small moon pendant on it.
It was the necklace that he got me for my 20th birthday. The silver crescent was apparently the
exact shape of the moon the day we met and on the back, it was engraved with the date. Although I
didn’t realise it at the time, that day was one of the best days of my life and I’ll try not to be corny
here but that’s because it was the day I met the best person in my life. My mate. Okay that was very
corny. Soz.
“I didn’t forget it. If you remember, you never used to see me without it. It’s just I thought it was too
precious to lose so I left it behind,” I replied placing my fingers on the pendant.
He smiled before leaning down and gently kissing my mark. I smiled and placed my hand on his
head as he trailed kisses up my neck until he got to just below my jawline where he lingered for a
few seconds. Tingles spread throughout me and I found myself feeling weak in the legs. Luckily, his
hands were on my hips, supporting me as his lips remained on my neck.
He eventually moved on from that one spot and kissed along my jawline.
“Leo you gave me a hickey,” I said noticing a purpley redish mark on my neck.
“Just to remind everyone in this building exactly who’s mate you are,” he whispered before gently
pecking me on the lips.
“And what’s wrong with your mark?” I said moving my hair aside to reveal Leo’s mark on my neck
that was as clear as the day he made it.
“Clearly not doing its job anymore.”
“Airplane leaves in three hours. We should get going.”
