“I killed a man Tatum, I killed someone.”

It’s been two days since the incident but Leila cannot seem to stop thinking of talking about it. Seeing the wolf she had shot transform into a beautiful woman around her age made it all the more traumatic.

“You saved Clayton, you did the right thing, you had no choice,” Tatum replies, tightening his hold around her, kissing the back of her hair and stroking her back gently.

“Can you do me a favour?” He asks, spinning her around to face him.

Leila nods, her eyes sullen.

“Whenever you leave the house, make sure to take guards with you, I already assigned them,” Clayton replies calmly.

“Why?” Leila asks, “I’ve never required protection within my own pack.”

“See them as escorts,” Tatum replies, hugging her closer and he kisses her neck which eases her anxiety.

She knows why Tatum doesn’t want her to go out without protection. She heard some omegas whispering about it in the house and she sees the hateful glares she gets when she steps outside.

    Leila mulls over the words of the witch, grinding her teeth and staring outside the window from Amanda’s office.Amanda comes in and hands Leila a glass of hot steamy chocolate.“Here you go.”“Thanks,” Leila replies with a small forced smile.She just cannot wrap her head around her discovery.“I can’t believe that bitch is not the Alpha’s real mate. I mean after everything she’s been doing. Such a cunning snake,” Amanda snorts and rolls her eyes.“What’s even more cunning is that her father is the only one who knew how the phoenix mark would look like before Carmela got it,” Leila replies with a deep frown.“What?!” Amanda’s eyes bulge, she almost spits out the chocolate drink in her mouth.“How is that even possible? I thought the only person who knew what the mark looked like is the pack witch and that she confirmed Carmela indeed got the real thing.”Leila heaves a deep sigh, taking another sip from her glass before she drops it on the table.“I just came from seeing the pack wit

    “Careful, do not leave your fingerprints on anything,” Clayton orders his men as they carry Alina’s mutilated body out. Leila mind linked him immediately she discovered Alina’s body and that of the little girl who attends to her.The white room which Leila walked into, now they had lamps everywhere to see, was actually connected to Alina’s life source.She was stabbed multiple times all over her body, her tongue was cut out and she was left to bleed to death. The moment she died, the room also lost its life.It was just an empty room with concrete walls and marbled walls after all.Leila gazes around, her eyes teary, her mind puzzled.Who could have done it? What could their reasons be? She never thought the pack’s witch could be someone so easy to kill.Has she always been targeted? Is it linked to her visit earlier?There are so many questions in her head but she cannot seem to answer any. Something tells her this death has something to do with her visit.It means she is being fol

    “I would be glad if she isn’t,” Tatum replies nonchalantly with no sort of hostility much to Leila’s surprise. The way she cocks her head and looks at Tatum with wide eyes shows ample evidence of her shock and Tatum cups her face and plugs a soft wet kiss on her lips. “Don’t look so surprised. I love you baby girl and I hate that I have to divide my attention between you and her. I know you hate it but she’s a stick up my throat, I can’t get rid of her but there’s no way her mark is fake or anything like that, Alina confirmed it years ago. “Carmi is my mate but my wolf doesn’t feel anything for her right now, so you don’t have to worry, I’m all yours,” Tatum replies, playfully pinching her nose at the end of his sentence. A tight smile forms on Leila’s lips and her heart becomes weary, remembering the mutilated corpse of Alina. “What about the recording? You heard it, she—” “Leila….my sweet pea, listen to me. You and I are all that matters. Just know, no matter what, I will alway

    “You stand accused of the murder of Alina Whitehart, Leila. How do you plead?”The head of the elder council asks Leila curtly in the pack house chamber.The twelve elders of the pack are present including Trent, Carmela’s father.The chamber is a building built adjoining but separated from the main pack house with an open roof. Despite the modern times, the elders have kept to the old ways and sat on the bare floor with their legs crossed.They sit in a huge circle with Leila sitting in the middle earning glares from all of them and Tatum sits behind the circle, indicating his position as the Alpha.“Innocent,” Leila replies in a calm tone, her eyes fixed on no else but Trent, Carmela’s father who is also the current head of the elders council.It was he who rushed the summon against her and Leila knows it is not random, she feels weary about it but she keeps a straight face, determined to prove her innocence.Normally, a murder case like this should be charged to court under the new

    “Luna?” Trent’s voice brings Leila’s mind back to the room.Perhaps as her child grows older, he revitalises her body faster but does it have any negative effect on him?She hopes not.“I was going to say when I visited her earlier, she held my arm too tight and her fingers dug in but the wounds are completely healed,” Leila stretches her arm forward and she sees the shock in Trent’s eyes that he tries to hide but fails.Why is he so surprised? Was it all part of their plan? Did they also kill the witch to frame her?The wound was of a violent nature and they know she has no wolf, if it had remained on her, it would have been hard to defend herself that it wasn’t from a struggle.Leila’s heart thuds gently as realisation slowly begins to dawn on her.“Forgive me Luna but that sounds like a lie, we have all visited the witch at one point or another, she doesn’t have physical contact with anyone so why would she hold you and so firm as to inflict injuries?”“I don’t know!” Leila replies

    Tatum sighs defeatedly, looking at Leila with disappointment and disbelief as the words leave her mouth. He was hoping she would be shrewd and not say it, at least not so directly. Doesn’t she understand? Even if she speaks the truth, saying such a thing without concrete proof will be considered blasphemous as the people will turn on her. There is a limit to which he can defend her before they turn on him too and it could lead to an all out riot from the pack members. “That is a serious allegation Leila, do you have any proof?” Trent asks Leila coldly, his eyes narrowed dangerously at her. “I think she only cut from your cloth,” Tatum cuts in sharply before Leila can reply. “You accuse her of murder without proof as well. This case is ludicrous, I will have the warriors do a thorough investigation and get back to me. We are dismissed. Tatum stands to his feet and so does everyone else. He walks over to Leila and turns her away from the men as they also begin to huddle in group

    Leila watches from the corner as Carmela steps in with another woman and she frowns. The woman has sharp green eyes and her long white hair cascades down, all the way to her back, dressed in a black leather gown and red shawl on her neck. “Alpha this is Lithoha, the great witch of the silver moon pack,” Trent announces, “she is a direct descendant of the witch who helped Selene create the first werewolf and she is the solution to our common problem.” “Alpha,” Lithoha bows, her green eyes peering deep into Tatum’s eyes before she suddenly turns her head and looks at Leila sharply. Their eyes meet and Leila feels a creepy odd sensation coming over her, she tries to look away but finds she cannot, it is like an invisible force from Lithoha rendered all the muscles of her neck useless. She suddenly feels a sharp pain on her wrist and she winces, pulling her hand up to see the beads of the amulet her mother gave her vibrating at an incredible speed. She may not be versed in such thin

    “This blood ritual, how does it work?” Tatum glances at Leila as he asks the question.Leila’s heart thud with worry, her feet getting restless, a sick feeling in her stomach.Tatum seems to be hanging on to every word that leaves Lithoha’s lips, eager to know more.Does he not even suspect this a little bit? She just accused Trent of being the only one that knew about the mark before his daughter mysteriously got it, the witch who could have proven that as truth is dead and Carmela just shows up with a random witch to perform a random ritual that no one has ever heard about.It is quite clear to see it is no coincidence. She immediately wants to point it out but she clenched her fist against her dress, pursing her lips together.Tatum will only probably scold her or ask her to leave. He is so grounded in his sense of duty and logic that basic instincts fail him.How can she get him to see the truth? Whatever these people have planned will do more harm than good.“It is better if I s

    The palace glows under the Blood Moon, its light bathes the open-air pavilion where the ceremony unfolds in an ashen hue. It's a few months after the twins’ birth, and Tatum and Leila are hosting the sacred rite for mateless wolves to seek their fated bonds. Flames from torches dance, casting shadows on tables laden with roasted boar, honeyed fruits, and spiced wine. Wolves from every pack fraternize, their laughter and murmurs braid with the pulse of drums and fiddles. The air twinges with anticipation—some are here to seek love, others quest for destiny, all drawn by the moon’s primal pull. Banners of silver and red flutter above, embroidered with crescent moons, and the scent of pine and wildflowers lingers, a tribute to the wild heart of the kingdom. Amara perches on a stone bench near the dance floor, her eyes bright with mischief. Beside her, Amanda leans in, her auburn curls bouncing as she points at a Luna in a garish yellow gown. “Look at that,” Amanda whispers, smi

  • Pregnant, I left him To His First Love   Chapter 369

    It is four years after the coronation, the palace murmurs with life, its stone corridors softened by laughter and sunlight. The scars of Antonio’s cruel reign has faded, replaced by scenic blooms of oaks and phoenix flames. In a sunlit hallway, Amara, now ten, sprints after a giggling three-year-old boy, her dark hair bouncing in a loose braid. The boy, Kael, is Kelvin and Tatiana’s son, visiting for the holiday with his parents. His tiny legs pump furiously, a mischievous grin lighting his face as he dodges Amara’s outstretched hands.“Get back here, you little tornado!” Amara calls, her voice equal parts exasperation and amusement. Kael squeals, darting around a corner, his curls bouncing. He’s fast for his age, but Amara’s longer strides close the gap. She lunges, and scoops him up before he dives into one of the many hiding places in the house behind a groove in the wall. Amara tosses him into the air with a flourish. Kael shrieks with delight, arms wide open like a bird, the

    The palace of lies quiet, the firebrands dimmed after the coronation’s fervor the night before. Moonlight spills through the arched windows of the royal chambers, bathing the room in silver. A fire that's been running now smolders in the hearth, casting shadows that dance across the cloistered room. The revelry—cheers, music, oaths—has faded, leaving only Leila and Tatum, alone at last.Leila stands by the window, her sapphire gown replaced by a simple linen nightwear that flatters her generous hips and ample bosom, her hair loose in dark waves. The weight of the crown lingers, though it rests on a velvet cushion across the room. She gazes at the stars, their light a reminder of battles they've won and promises yet to keep. Tatum approaches her, his footsteps soft on the rug. He’s shed his regal mantle, wearing only a loose tunic and trousers, his silver-gray eyes warm in the firelight.“You’re quiet,” he says, his voice a mere whisper as he wraps his arms around her from behind.

    The great hall of the palace is agog with a celebration. The marble pillars draped in banners of silver and gold. Weeks after Antonio’s fall, the kingdom gathers for a coronation. The air is alive with hope. Crystal chandeliers cast prisms across the mosaic floor, where roses—white for peace, red for sacrifice—form a path to the twin thrones. Nobles in velvet and commoners in their finest pack the hall, their faces bright with belief in a future minus Antonio and his tyranny. Musicians weave an orchestra of harps and flutes, and incense curls upward from holders, sweet and solemn. Today, Tatum and Leila are crowned regent king and queen, stewards of the throne until Amara, the destined Lycan Queen, comes of age. Leila stands radiant in a gown of sapphire silk, her dark hair woven with pearls, and the Phoenix Luna’s aura is a faint shimmer around her where she stands beside her husband. Tatum wears a mantle of black and silver, his presence steady as stone. Amara who is clad

    The crowd's cries for Antonio’s death is a deafening roar. But Antonio rises, his crown askew, tilting to the side, a parody of its glory, his lycan blood burning in his veins. His eyes are wild with defiance, locked onto Tatum. “Enough!” he bellows, silencing the throng. “I demand a wolf duel, one on one, Tatum. To the death.” His voice tremors with menace. “If I win, you, Leila, Amara—all rebels—will die for treason. If I lose, well…” He smirks, baring bone-white, elongated canines. “I won’t.”As a lycan, Antonio towers even in human form, his bulging muscles are a testament to his legendary strength, his wolf form a beast of nightmare. The duel will favor him, for he is a predator born to crush his enemies with every fatal blow he delivers. Leo steps forward, knuckles clenched to cracking whiteness. “No,” he growls. “He’s cornered. We outnumber him, and without his magic, he’s done. Let’s end this now.” Ragna nods in agreement, the scars gleam on his knuckles, ready to charge o

    The plaza hums with apprehension, both of the crowd and those of the faction that now rises against Antonio's tyranny. Alpha Leo’s words hang in the air, a challenge to King Antonio’s reign. The king’s face darkens, his crown glinting like a warning as everyone watches. “You dare betray me?” he snarls, turning to the other Alphas—towering figures clad in furs and steel, their eyes gleaming with lupine intensity. “You dare to defy me?” The crowd quiets, the air tight with impending violence. Antonio struts, eyes like firebrands, his shoes picking off prints from the blood left by Camela earlier. “Alphas, end Leo and Tatum. Now!” he commands again. Stillness descends in the crowd. But the Alphas—Ragna, Soren, and Veyra—stand unmoved, their faces look like they're carved from stone. Ragna, broadest of the three, steps beside Leo, his voice a low growl. “No, Antonio. Your tyranny ends here.” Soren and Veyra nod, their silence louder than any shout. The crowd murmurs, shock rip

    The fall of Carmela lingers but a new dread takes root as Leila rushes through the crowd, hurling herself towards the stage where Amara stands, her small frame dwarfed by that of Antonio. Tatum follows behind her, his face red with fury, his eyes shot with pumping membranes. The crowd parts, clearing the way for the couple as sparks of whispers trail them. “Antonio!” Leila’s voice cuts through the silence, sharp as a blade. “You cannot marry our daughter!” Behind them, a flurry of murmurings animate the crowd, speculations fly, questions too. Tatum steps forward as guards inch around the king. “She's not yours to claim,” Tatum barks, “And you know why.” Antonio's eyes narrow with piercing sharpness at the couple. He knows. Leila feels it in her bones. He now knows. She is the Phoenix Luna. Amara, their daughter, carries the same fire, destined to rise as the kingdom’s next ruler. By binding her to him, Antonio seeks to snuff that destiny, to chain the Phoenix’s lineage to h

    The Grand plaza glitters under the midday sun as Carmela steps out of a silken pavilion, a gorgeous sight that hushes even the worst cynics. Her gown, woven of lace and pearls and sequins, clings to her frame, before fanning into a train that drifts like mist behind her. A diamond studded veil shimmers over her face, and gold threads gleam in her hair. Arches swathed in white silk and roses tower over the wedding altar, where dozens of blossoms—crimson, ivory, gold—spill and waver like a fragrant tide, matching Carmela’s aura. The event that has had everyone wagging their tongues wagging across the kingdom for months is finally here. Cheers and applause erupt from the crowd as she glides with a queen's grace across the raised stage. As she floats down the steps, whispers trail her—some name her divine, the chosen queen. “Look at her,” Leila muses loud enough for Tatum to hear. “If I never saw a snake in a dress. I do now.” “Apt,” Tatum says through a smile as painful as Leila's

    “No he’s not,” Leila snarls at him, her heart burning with rage, her eyes clothed with vengeance, “whatever you have done to him, undo it, now!” “Done to him? I said Tatum’s dead woman, nothing can be done to a dead man. This one here is just my faithful loyal guard dog,” Leo snaps his fingers twice and the man walks over to his side, silent and submissive. Leila’s heart boils with a fervent anger. She knows deep down in her heart that this is her husband, the man she has loved for years. Is he now completely under Leo’s control? Why is everything about him transformed with the exception of his face and voice and if he really is completely under Leo’s influence, then why did he save her, not once but twice. “Tatum, you’re not his dog,” tears stream out of Leila’s eyes, her heart clenching with unimaginable pain. “You’re the most powerful Alpha in the realm, Alpha of the Blood Oak pack, my Alpha, my husband…do you really not recognize your sweet pea anymore?” The man’s eyes snap to
