Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire

Beautiful Bond Ch 10. Mine
WINONA
I tug my top down, smoothing the creases. from it, feeling a little self-conscious
of his gaze on me, but I like it...
Last night, I had acted awfully. Seeing that mark, I suddenly felt so angry. He
was mine.
That was all I could think of.
Is this how I’m going to react? I say I don’t want to offend Leo, but then I can’t
even handle that mark on Marcel’s neck anymore.
Enter title...
“I really am sorry...” I say quietly.
“Don’t be. You were just feeling possessive of what’s yours.” He says, and my
eyes widen.
He knew why I reacted like that!
“I... I don’t know what overcame me.” Actually, I do... “When I went back to my
room.... I ...”
I hesitate and he slows down as we exit the gates. “Is everything alright?” He
asks, concerned.
I nod, taking a deep breath. “I shifted.” I blurt out. 3
He stops in his tracks and looks me over as if I’m going to wolf out on him right

now. He whistles, making me blush, and he smiles. “I did think that your aura
was stronger. Do Leo and Azura know?”
I shake my head. “Not yet... I wanted to tell you first.” I say, feeling proud that I
did it...” It happened straight away, after I left you by the car.”
“I see... What exactly happened?”
I take a breath, brushing a strand of my hair back as I stare into those dark
brown eyes and begin to tell him exactly what went down
(FLASHBACK – LAST NIGHT)
I rush inside and head straight up to my room, feeling guilt and anguish rip
through me. An intense urge to turn and run back to my mate is struggling to
take over, and it takes my all to manage to lock the door after me and stay here.
My heart is racing, and I’m devastated at how I reacted.

This pain and anger I feel are so intense, but I’m being st*pid. I am his second
chance mate. Of course, he had a mate who marked him before me, I knew
that!
“Mine.” I growl as I s*agger to the bathroom feeling pain rush through my body. I
don’t know what’s happening...
I fall onto all fours, and I bite on my lip, not wanting anyone to hear. Excruciating.

pain rips through me and I fall over, unable to breathe and then, it is all gone.
I look around my room, my heart thumping, but something is wrong...
everything looks different...
Goddess...
That’s when I look down and realise I’m no longer a human...
Golden fur... 4
I turn and stare at the mirror across my room, my heart beating violently as I’m
greeted by a beautiful honey-gold coloured wolf...
I’m... beautiful... a
A wave of realisation hits me as I continue to
stare at my reflection.
I shifted.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
I gasp when he tugs me into his arms, enveloping me in his warmth, although

I’m far too aware of his body against mine and a certain part of him that makes
my core knot in desire.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there beside you.” He caresses my back, and I snuggle into
his embrace.

“It wasn’t that painful... I’m ok.” I say softly, inhaling his alluring scent. I can feel
her presence even more. I guess subconsciously something had made her lock
up, and she had awoken because of our emotions.
“Shame that the dress is gone then.” He says, making me laugh.
“You liked it.” I reply.
“That’s an understatement and I would have preferred being the one to rip it off
you.” He replies huskily, and my heart s*ips a beat as my face heats up.
“Mm.” I mumble, looking at my hand that rests on his chest. He leans down and
I look up. My gaze dips to his lips, but I slowly place a soft kiss on his cheek
before hiding my face in his chest. His thrumming heart tells me I’m having as
much of an effect on him as he is on me.
I want to stay here forever.
After a few moments, he pulls away and, taking my hand, leads me down the
path. We walk in silence and he turns down one of the more secluded paths
lined with trees. A high wooden fence covers the building to the left and on the
right side, past the trees is the edge of the park.
“As you know, I was initially planning on going on holiday and I am hoping you
will come with me. I’m thinking of Dubai, but I’m willing to change to wherever
you want to go.”
A holiday...

Excitement rushes through me, and I want to say yes. My mouth opens but then
I realise I need to discuss this with Azura and

Leo... it’s strange having to think for me too, when my life has always been to
serve...
“It sounds lovely... I will let you know if that’s ok.” I say, trying not to sound
hopeful.
“I have already told Leo and Azura that I’m asking you, in case you’re worried
about other commitments. They’re happy for you to go.”
I bite my lip and smile happily. “Then I would love to go with you, and Dubai
sounds perfect.”
“Great.” He replies and I know I have to be a better person than my wolf wants
me to be. 6
“About your mark. I was thinking perhaps you can get a tattoo of it – like
Kareena.” I suggest still feeling ashamed of how I reacted.
“No, I’m yours. The fleeting memories I have of Petra will always hold their own
place ... but I’m rightfully yours now. Only your mark will be on my body.”
Only mine...
He touches his mark, and I can tell from his eyes he means every word.

“Are you certain you don’t want to? I won’t mind. I’m sorry for reacting like that. I
think it was my wolf’s emotions. I will be happy for you to get a tattoo to
symbolise your bond with your first mate if you want to.” I say softly, my heart
aches thinking of everything he has gone through, and I realise I had also made
it worse. I had made him feel he wasn’t good enough for me by constantly
running...
“Don’t feel guilty for a reaction that was perfectly natural. In fact, I like you being
possessive of me. Being brutally honest,
Petra was a woman with her feels like failed. The time I had
I was looking up at it from the bottom of a pool. I wasn’t myself... and I barely

remember much of it. I know for some, creating a symbol of their first mate’s
mark can work and in ways helps them move on, but Leo is the symbol of our
love. There is nothing else that I need. This heart and I belong to you now and I
vow, I’m all yours and I’ll give you everything I was unable to give to her and
more.” 7
Our eyes meet and I just want to hug him tightly.
He means it and I promise I’ll try to be the best mate I can be.
“Are you certain?” I ask one final time. I want him to be sure. My heart pounds
as I step closer to him.
“I am. This story, this journey, it’s ours.” He replies as his hands wrap around myFollow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

waist and I’m pulled flush against him. “And next time you feel the urge to mark
me... go right ahead.”
Something deep inside of me knots at the tone of his voice, and I can’t help but
lick my lips in anticipation when he looks down at them. His kiss last night...
It had felt magical, the pleasure that consumed me... he has a side to him that
is waiting to be unleashed, one he is holding back. I could tell from the
dominance he was trying to rein in when kissing me last night. The way his lips
felt... 1
I lean in at the same time as he does and our lips meet in a kiss that I cannot
explain in words.
My heart thumps and I’m sure I hear a low growl from him as he suddenly steps
forward, forcing me to back up against the tree behind me. Excitement ripples
through me and I kiss him back hungrily. His arms tighten around me, caressin
my waist and I lean into him, whimpering when his fingers lightly tug at the hem
of my shirt.
I part my lips, allowing him the entry that he desires. I feel him throb against me
and I can’t help hands s*ut rub against him and when his hands slip under my
top, I lean into his touch, unable to focus on anything else. His rough fingers run
up the side of my waist, skimming my bra.
“Marcel...” I gasp. My arousal scents the surrounding air, but I don’t mind.

I wriggle in his touch, whimpering when his thumbs brush the sides of my
breasts and I lean back further, allowing him better access to my breasts. His
eyes are blazing gold, and his aura is swirling around him.
Our eyes meet for a split second before he kisses my neck, sucking hard and I
don’t recognise the moan that escapes me. He palms my breast once before he
lets his hand slide down below my breast. His thumb grazes my nipple for a
second before his
hand snakes back around my waist and pulls me against him once again.
“As much as I want you right now... Not here, not now...” He whispers huskily,
as he continues kissing and sucking on my neck.
No... I want you to touch me.
“Nh...” I mumble, feeling lightheaded as he continues to pepper my neck and
jaw with kisses. His fingers tangle into my hair as he tilts my head up, kissing
my lips in another mind-blowing kiss. I kiss him back, my grip on him tight, and
only when he holds my wrists and removes them from his neck do I look up at
him, questioning him silently.
A s*xy smirk crosses his lips, but his eyes are still burning gold.

“As much as I want to continue kissing you, Bellissima... I’m not going to be

able to stop.” He whispers roughly, making my cheeks that are already flushed,
darken. 1
Cupping my face, he presses his lips against mine one final time. He sucks on
my lower lip slightly before he moves back and looks into my eyes.
“We leave in two days.”
With those words, he lets go of me, turning and walking away, but before he
turns the corner, he glances back and our eyes meet one final time.
I smile at him before I turn away to return home, still feeling all giddy. I lightly
touch my swollen lips, blushin
I can still feel his hands on me and what’s more, I wanted him to continue. Next
time I want everything. 15
