Thank you for reading❤️
“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,” Lithoha re
Adaline goes upstairs to Darren’s room and she looks at her husband lying lifeless on his bed, several drips connected to his pale and thin body. The vibrant energetic man she once used to know is but a shadow of himself now.She is sad that he is in this condition but even more sad that despite his illness, he has maintained his stand to not speak a word to her or Tatum because of what happened to Leila.He firmly believes that Leila did not commit any of the crimes she is accused of as Leila is a kindhearted woman and a good person. She never knew that what happened to Leila could make him so bitter towards them but to not have spoken to his fated mate and wife for over five years is enough proof of that.It is the more reason she is unhappy with Carmela, she hoped that Carmela would have given them another heir by now to soften Darren’s anger but it is obvious that despite Carmela being Tatum’s fated mate, his heart is still with Leila.She often wonders if she did the right thing,
The truth about Amara is sure to cheer his old sick heart up but what if she tells him and Tatum finds out from him, that could ruin all her plans. Before she can decide, Darren’s grip tightens around her hand and his deep sad eyes look up at hers. “Forgive him, he was naive. This pack needs you. Forgive us,” his voice dry and weak.Forgiveness? After all they made her go through?How does she even forgive them? What does she even forgive? Where does she start from?The torture, the torment, the abuse? Or perhaps the beating, the neglect, the humiliation, starvation?He doesn’t need to know that she is not capable of forgiving them, so she holds his hands and smiles down at him. “Do not worry about me father, I will do the right thing.”“Is the right thing taking my son–” Darren coughs violently and blood spills out of his mouth. “Will you take him back if he comes to his senses and begs your forgiveness?”Leila takes one of the warm napkins on the counter and wipes his lips, her
Liela stares at the test result in disbelief, her ears ring as Amanda’s voice comes as if through water–“Congratulations Luna, the heir to the Blood Oak pack is five weeks old. In PERFECT condition. You are going to be a Mom!” The only thing going through Liela’s mind is: Thank God her gynaecologist also happens to be her best friend, otherwise she won’t even have a chance to keep this a secret.She has to keep it a secret, at least until she can figure everything out.How could she be pregnant? The Alpha doesn’t want one, and he has done all the precautions he could. So how could she be pregnant?!!! Liela can’t even pinpoint exactly which time went wrong because it happened many times more than usual recently. But that doesn’t matter now.The question Liela needs to answer now is: what to tell Alpha Tarum.Does she even tell him? If she just takes care of the abortion herself, then he doesn’t have to know.After all, he is not in the pack right now. He is out there looking for HER,
The doctors didn’t find anything wrong with Carmela except a few bruises, but Tatum insisted on her being hospitalised for the best care with a full bodycheck. Leila spends all the time she can squeeze out visiting Carmela.The whispers about her have gotten louder than ever now that Carmela has returned, with everyone asking, when will Alpha Tatum make Carmela his Luna?The question is not if he will but when he will. Everyone in the pack is so certain of it. As for Leila, she pretends not to hear these gossips, she tries not to think about it. She is just happy that her long-lost best friend who saved her has returned but the happiness is not a full one.Leila knows the truth in her heart and it is the pain that comes with it that makes her still live in denial.Alpha Tatum has tirelessly spent the last two years looking for his lost love and now that he found her, it was only a matter of time before she got the axe of rejection and let his rightful woman take her place.She knew sh
However, she says nothing and turns. She is not going to let this bitter women come between her and her best friend. They are Carmela’s friends, and they are picking on her on purpose because Carmela sacrificed herself for her.She has no position to defend herself.As she heads for the bathroom to get a mob, Edna shrieks behind her: “Who are you leaving this mess to?! Get the shards first! It could hurt someone, jeez!”Leila nods and kneels to pick up the bigger ones with panicking hands, and it is at this moment, the door opens after a short knock, and Leila looks up with the shards cupped in her palm, only to meet the Alpha’s cold eyes.“What are you doing?” He notices Leila and instantly, a frown crawls onto his handsome face.“Alpha!” Carmela jumps off the bed and runs to the Alpha, throwing her arms around his neck like when they were kids, “Can I please, please leave the hospital now? Pleaseeee.”Her cute tone got a light laugh out of the Alpha and he pats her on her waist to ge
Leila tosses and turns on the pristine white sheets of her soft mattress, her red and puffy eyes settling on the chandelier dancing to the tune of the strong wind blowing in from the open window.She smiles bitterly at the ornament swinging above her, it reminds her of own self. She is not in control, she just dances to the tune of whatever terrible music her miserable life is playing.Two years ago, she was just a regular girl hoping to find her fated mate, to live a simple life with him and raise beautiful children but life has her right now as a hated Luna and a jilted wife.Tatum promised to come home after dropping Carmela but it’s been hours and he is still with her, probably reminiscing of the love they used to share before Carmela disappeared She blinks back the tears tugging at her eyes as her chest tightens in pain from the thought. They aren’t mates. She forgot. She shouldn’t have let his kindness cloud that.It was his ultimate act of kindness that made him marry her. Aft
