Thank you for reading❤️
Leila holds the door knob and then turns to him.“Congratulations on your Luna’s pregnancy by the way but since you didn’t spare mine, her pregnancy is not going to stop me from coming after her and when I’m done with her, it’s your turn.”Tatum jerks his head back, his eyes flashing with shock and curiosity. “What pregnancy?”Leila scoffs. “Don’t play dumb, I know.”“I don’t know what you’re fucking talking about,” Tatum replies, a feeling of annoyance growing in his chest as a sense of realisation dawns upon him. “Did she tell you she’s pregnant?”“Is she not?”“If she is, it isn’t mine,” Tatum replies coldly.How can Carmela be pregnant for him when he has never touched her, they don’t even live together.Leila scoffs cum chuckle and she shrugs. “Your fiance's infidelity is none of my business.”Tatum grits his teeth, clenching his fist by his side. The very sound of the word sends worms crawling all over his skin and twists his gut.If only he could tell Leila the engagement is a
After leaving her rented Condo where she just had sex with Matt, Carmela makes her way to the old Alpha’s house where Tatum has been staying when he is not in the packhouse. “Luna,” one of the omegas cleaning in the living room bows as she enters. “And when did she become your Luna?” Adaline’s curt voice fills the air as she appears with a cold face. “Mother,” Carmela says in a cheery tone with a half smile. “Your mother is dead. I am not her and why the hell are you here?” Adaline replies coldly, eyes narrow in palpable annoyance. Carmela gulps and the cheer vanishes from her face. This has been her lot for a couple of years now. In the beginning Adaline supported her but after it became clear that Tatum has no interest in her, the woman turned into an iceberg. “I’m here to see Tatum,” Carmela replies in a wry tone, avoiding Adaline’s harsh gaze. Adaline scoffs, an angry pout on her lips. “Leila is back, is she not? That girl was going to give me an heir, I should have chosen
“Are you deaf? I asked you a question,” Tatum reprimands when Carmela is unable to answer and she just stares at him with her mouth open.Thank the goddess she is not yet pregnant, how would she have been able to explain it to Tatum? That bitch Leila really told him that? She really has it coming for her.How much time do they even spend together? Now that Leila has her wolf back, does Tatum’s wolf feel the matebond? That should not be possible, right?She has to see Lithoha about this, she cannot risk their wolves bonding.“Fine, don't answer,” Tatum says, “tomorrow, you and I are going for a pregnancy test and if you don’t have a pup in you, well, let’s just say you are going to suffer, severely. And if you do have a pup in you,” Tatum stands up, closes the distance between them, their faces barely inches apart, his eyes cold and dead, his voice dropping to a spine chilling whisper.“You are still going to suffer because the pack will know that their,” he draws quotations with his f
“Do you Liana Rodgers solemnly swear that the testimony you will give to this court will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth under the all seeing eye of the goddess?” Kelvin asks Liana with both their right hands up as he stands by the podium. It is the day of the second hearing and Justin has called her to the stand to prove that she was indeed on the scene of Henry’s murder and the first discoverer. “I solemnly swear,” Liana replies. Kelvin nods and they both take their seat before Justin steps forward. “You just took an oath before everyone present here in the name of the goddess and I hope you can honour that oath,” he says, “tell us, according to you, what happened that day?” Liana glances at Leila who gives her a reassuring nod despite the way Leila’s own heart hammers with a nervous fear. Kelvin has prepared Liana for this, he has told her how to answer the questions, prepped her on how Justin would go low and try to rile up her emotions, twist his que
Kelvin grits his teeth in annoyance as Justin smirks at him, returning to his seat. Justin currently has one up on them. Liana never mentioned that she was carrying a weapon that day, maybe she didn't think it was relevant but as long as he can prove she wasn’t on the scene, things would still go well for them.“It’s going to be okay, you did great,” He says calmly to Liana, patting her shoulders as she takes her seat beside him.“Is the defence ready to call its witness?” Judge Bruce asks.“Yes,” Kelvin replies and stands up. “Defence calls Beta Trent Easton.”The door to the courtroom opens and Trent saunters down the aisle with a smug look on his face, his shoulders held high in pride, his steps pompous and full of confidence.He stops in front of Liana and looks at her for some seconds before he scoffs, shakes his head and proceeds to the witness box.After Justin gets him to take the oath of truth, Kelvin steps forward.“You were with Henry and his wife on the day of the murder,
Judge Bruce sighs. “Very well.” “The defence calls on Gareth Thomas, the chairman and CEO of Bane Technologies,” Kelvin says as Trent steps down from the box, glaring at him before he sits down behind Justin. A tall lanky man with grey bits, dressed in an obviously expensive black designer suit with round transparent glasses sitting on his nose steps into the courtroom and murmurs fill the air, every eye watching him in awe. Even Judge Bruce looks a bit taken back. Trent sneers and Carmela taps him, shock and worry evident in her eyes. “What is he doing here father? I thought this man was a myth.” “Well he fucking isn’t as you can see,” Trent slaps her hand away from in irritation, rage boiling in his chest. Gareth Thomas is not just any werewolf, he is the richest one in all of the country. Even the elites of the elites cannot get a meeting with him and he agrees to testify as a witness in a murder case for people who he has no business with? What kind of testimony does he eve
“In light of new evidence that has appeared, this court hearing will be adjourned by two weeks and we will reconvene at exactly 11am,” Judge Bruce slams his gavel.“All rise,” The clerk announces as he leaves and everyone begins to file out.Trent storms out of the courtroom in fury, muttering curses and Carmela runs after him, reaching him in the corridor of the courtroom.“Father, wait.”“You bloody fool,” Trent snarls at her. “I thought you said you and that incapable bastard went through everything that they could use against us today, why didn’t you know about the bloody masts?”“I’m sorry, I thought we had it all covered, but don’t worry, we will still get them, they’re not going to win this,” Carmela replies in a petrified tone.Trent scoffs coldly. “I shouldn’t worry?” He grabs her chin and shoves her against the wall, squeezing it painfully, his eyes cold and deadly as he narrows them at her.“I made a fool of myself today and I don’t like making a fool of myself. I’ve worked
“Lithoha, are you sure this spell will work?” Carmela frowns as Lithoha stokes a fire in the backyard of Trent’s house. “His wolf will go into a haze, even if the human fights the urge, his wolf will not be able to resist his mate, so be rest assured, he will be yours tonight – if you have been taking the medicine I gave you to keep up the temp mate bond?. Did you bring what I asked for?” Lithoha replies, not looking away from the fire. Carmela smiles to herself. After tonight, Tatum will have slept with her. Whether he or Leila likes it or not, either his child or Matt’s child will be inside her and Tatum will think either one is his. She reaches into her purse and stretches a ring towards Lithoha. “His ring, it’s the only personal item I could get my hands on.” Lithoha has been working on this spell for weeks and this is the final day. Tatum’s personal item has been the only thing missing but she was able to nick his ring when she visited him the last time. “It will do,” Litho
