Thank you for reading.❤️
“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
“I brought you something,” Carmela stretches the envelope forward the moment Leila opens the door.Leila folds her hands against her chest, her eyes cold and vengeful. Whenever she sees Carmela, all she feels is rage, she just wants to rip her throat out but she knows she has to restrain herself for now.Only till her mom is out of the woods from this false accusation and then she’ll go after Carmela with everything that she has, every tear that she has ever shed because of Carmela, Carmela will shed it in a hundred fold.“Take whatever it is you brought and get the hell out of my house.”“It’s from Tatum, his divorce papers, he already signed them,” Carmela replies with a straight face but Leila can smell her deceit from a mile away.“Really? Well go back and tell him that if he wants to divorce me, he can do it himself.”She may not care but Tatum hasn’t been moving like someone who wants to divorce her, he is trying his possible best to be nice to her and Amara and whenever they cr
Leila stands outside the door to Kelvin’s condo with a million bees buzzing inside her stomach, her heart racing hard like a doped horse. It’s the first time she will be seeing him since she kissed him. She has been avoiding him because she feels things will be too awkward between them but it is imperative that they meet today, her mother’s first hearing is in a few days and they must conclude on a plan of action. She cannot wait for all of this to be over so she can reject Tatum and just be with him and then there’s that mysterious man who claims to be her second chance mate. If he is right, she will have to do something about him too. Something about that guy gives her chills, neither bad nor good, it’s just the feeling she had when she was with him that night, something about his aura. She knows she is prepared to reject two mates for Kelvin but Kelvin has not even found his own mate, what if she suddenly shows up like the mysterious man did, will Kelvin reject his mate? It’s
