Thank you for reading and for those who want my head, I need it to keep writing this book. 🥴
Leila scoffs, a smile on her lips as she pulls back to look at Carmela in the eyes, her gaze dripping with smugness.It’s obvious Carmela believes she wants Tatum back and thinks the news of the pregnancy is supposed to make her jealous but who cares?Coming back here, she had a lot of theories in her head, one of them being that they would be a loving family, Tatum, Carmela and one or two pups but Carmela doesn’t even live with him.“Do you know who my new neighbour is?” Leila smirks smugly and Carmela frowns, giving Leila the answer she needs.“That’s right, even if you’re pregnant with his child, he still wants to wake up and see me. I’ll probably invite him over for dinner one night, you never know what a good meal, a couple glasses of strong wine, a hot dress and the right conversation can lead to?” Leila flicks her brows suggestively, a cocky smirk perfectly etched on her lips.Carmela clenches her fist, her head turning red in frustration and she sneers at Leila, her chest risi
Yes she is, she’s telling him everything but her words that she wants to be with him and he’s smart enough to see that. If only she knows how much he wants to have her, how he wants to taste those small pout lips of hers and kiss them dry of moisture, how he wants to run his tongue over every inch of her body, the many times he’s imagined being intimate with her in plenty different ways but imagination is all it will ever remain. He doesn’t want to take advantage of her. Does she really love him or is she trying to move on from who she loves using him? What if she realises it too late? He shouldn’t care about that, the other guy messed up, big time, but everytime in the last four years that he wants to make a move on her, he just finds that he cannot. He has loved this woman since he was a little boy and he wants nothing more than to be by her side for a lifetime. As a boy, he would pray daily to the goddess that she would be his mate, the one made specially for him. Nothing i
“Leila, seriously wait,” Kelvin rushes to the side of Leila’s car window as she revs up the car.She doesn’t listen, doesn’t even take a glance at him as she slams her foot down and takes off into the night, her vision blur with tears, her heart full of sorrow and pain.Maybe love isn’t meant for her. Maybe she isn’t meant to be happy with a man in her life.The man she loved with all of her heart and soul betrayed her and spat on her love and the one person who has been there for her, who she has been trying to see if things can work between them because she may have feelings for him keeps pushing her away.What else does she have to do? How else can she show him that she desires to be with him? She has said it in between words, used body language, everything.Kelvin is not clueless, she sees the look in his eyes, how he looks at her, the sensuality hidden in his gaze, the passion behind it, he has feelings for her too but why does he refuse to act on it, why does he turn down her ad
Tatum’s lips quiver, unable to utter a word as they both stare at each other. Leila’s eyes full of pain and rage, Tatum’s eyes full of pain and regret. “The guilt of my choice has been my companion for a long time and I reckon it will be for the rest of my life, I don’t deserve your forgiveness, I know, but back then, there was nothing I could do, I didn’t know how to weave my way around the law.” Rage boils inside of Leila. Even now he doesn’t see any wrong with his actions, standing behind the law, manipulating and using it to his cruel end. Has he always been this vile? What sort of a cruel monster tries to kill his own innocent child and labels it justice? He is never going near Amara again, ever. “Damn you and damn your fucking law,” she spits out with venom. “I want to see how you protect Carmela with it when I come for her because I’m going to hit her so bad, slowly peel back every layer of deceit that she has wrapped around your eyes and that of your pack members and ju
Kelvin tenses, his mouth parting in shock, unintentionally giving Leila more room to suck on his lower lip. His entire body shoots with pleasure from the softness of her lips, the tenderness of her kiss, goosebumps rent his entire skin and a million fireworks go off in his heart and he shuts his eyes, relishing it.Maybe he can have her, maybe he can have this. Now that she has kissed him, he cannot dodge the topic anymore, he will either have to claim her or clearly reject her.He finds his hands slowly running down her back, all the way to her waist and he pulls her close hesitantly, wondering if he should break or deepen the kiss when he hears a soft growl behind them and he opens his eyes to see Tatum staring right at him.But it is not anger he sees in those grey eyes, it is sadness and pain, a dreary and gloomy look.It is a look he knows all too well, a look he had in his eyes for years whenever he saw Leila and Tatum together. The pain of seeing someone you love with someone e
Why did she kiss him? She shouldn’t have kissed him. She just thought that would be enough to convince him but he still rejected her. Now things are going to be awkward between them, she might even lose him as a friend. “Goodnight,” She says to Kelvin as she shuts the car door and Kelvin nods gently, a wry look in his eyes as he drives away. She insisted he carry on with the work he wanted to do. She turns to go inside but decides to go for a walk in the woods instead, maybe let her wolf run a little. Her head is a mess of thoughts, her heart compounded with so many emotions. The road ahead of her is long and arduous and Kelvin is the only one she knows will have her back no matter what but after tonight, she doesn’t know if she can face him again. But he promised to talk about it after everything so maybe she should calm down, try to act normal around him and see what happens. They might get through this and even come out better. “Now what’s a little stray like you doing roami
“Fuck–” Before the rogue can say the words, his head rolls to Leila’s feet, his bodiless eyes mirroring the shock Leila has in her own eyes as her heart leaps.How did the mysterious man move so fast? How is he moving so fast without shifting, she cannot even see him, only the blur of his white attire as he tears through the remaining three.She hears their screams being cut short before their bodies drop to the ground, headless and lifeless.“Fuck, fucking bastards!” The mysterious man yells.“Shit, I can’t believe they got fucking blood on my sleeve, not on the fucking sleeves, you idiots,” he kicks one of the men on the ground before suddenly turning to Leila as if just becoming aware of her presence.“Oh…fuck, I’m doing it again aren’t I? You see, I can’t stand the blood, not on me,” he says, sneering at the dead bodies.“Who are you?” Leila asks in a cautious tone.She should be running away from a man who just easily decapitated four men without shifting into his wolf and then
It’s been a week but Leila cannot stop thinking about the man in the woods, it is not the fact that he claims to be her second chance mate that ails her thoughts, it is the man himself. There is something about him that is different, he is calm yet dangerous, deadly yet alluring, two opposite ends so perfectly blended into one person. “Gran Gran, who is the lycan king?” Amara asks, bringing Leila’s attention back to the dining table where they are having breakfast. “Where did you hear that name?” Liana replies, rapt curiosity in her eyes as she looks at her granddaughter. The lineage of the lycans are a myth, they rule from the shadows, hidden from the rest of the werewolf world but rule they do, their authority is unquestionable, their power absolute and the current Lycan king is the best of his breed. An empty throne was crowned in his stead. No one has ever seen him, no one knows what he looks like. “Yesterday at the mall when I went shopping with Papa Kev, everyone was talkin
