Thank you for reading❤️
Leila walks away the moment Tatum walks up to them, completely ignoring him. It is the first time she is seeing him since the rejection became complete and the matebond completely severed but she still feels uncomfortable being in his presence. She cannot feel her wolf yearning but something about being close to him still pulls her. Despite her anger towards him, despite her hatred, Tatum seems to still have an effect on her and she doesn’t want to deal with him right now, not with everything that she is going through. “Let me help you Leila,” Tatum calls after her but she keeps walking ahead. He runs up to her and pulls her back by her arm, putting some distance between them when she scowls at him. “I don’t need your help, I don’t need anything from you Tatum. I’ll bring the divorce papers to you and we’ll call it a lifetime between us, just, fuck you Tatum,” Leila says, her eyes brimming with tears as painful sorrow washes over her. He is the architect of all her problems. Eve
“Good job Bass, keep me posted on how it goes.” Kelvin ends the call with Bass and stares at his phone with a confused expression on his face after Bass fills him in on the outcome of the day’s event. He grits his teeth and scrolls through his recent call logs, staring at Leila’s number. She has given him quite a number of missed calls and texts in the last few days but he doesn’t want to talk to her, not right now. It hurts a lot that she would even doubt him or Tatiana when he would never doubt her. He still has to help her but he can help without being in her presence, perhaps when this tightness in his chest begins to loosen up, he’ll show his face to her again and also apologise for ignoring her. Now is not just a good time. Tatiana steps out of the shower naked, towelling her hair, her boobs jiggling from the movement of her arms and Kelvin smiles at it, smiles at her, unable to believe that a goddess like her is his, to love, to hold, to cherish and to fuck. He tosses his
“Brother, what are you doing here?” Tatiana asks in a frenzy, shock and fear clear in her demeanour and Kelvin looks from her to the stranger, his heartbreak only compounding. Tatiana only mentioned sisters, she said she was an orphan and her sisters were the witches of her coven, some of whom he has met, invited into his home, wined, dined, shared jokes, laughed and had meaningful and thoughtful conversations with. How much more lies has she told him, does she even really love him or has he just been a fool? “We haven’t been officially introduced, I’m Antonio,” Antonio keeps his attention on Kelvin, completely ignoring Tatiana who flicks a dress on to cover herself, “but many call me the Lycan King.” Immediately the words leave Antonio’s lips, Kelvin feels a strong, lethal aura bearing down on him and never in his life has his wolf had a stronger urge to yield to the aura of an Alpha and he bows, shock and realisation hitting him at the same time and he looks sharply at Tatiana wh
Riding in Tatum’s car back to her house, Leila steals a glance at Tatum who has his eyes fixed on the road. It's a big risk trusting him, considering the past but something deep inside her tells her it’s okay to trust him.His testimony as the Alpha of the pack will hold weight and could easily sway the judge to favour them even if it cannot be proven, that is the real advantage he provides but she will feel much better if Kelvin was also here to help.She should never have said those words to him. What got into her? He only just found love after so many years and she unintentionally tried to sow doubt in his heart about his lover, she probably deserves this treatment he is giving to her.She takes out her phone to call, he doesn't take his calls, she tries to mindlink him but he cannot be reached. She sighs defeatedly, becoming worried about the midlink unable to reach him, he was previously only blocking her. Did he leave the pack again?“Alright,” Tatum says, pulling the car to t
Leila turns to look at the big wall clock hanging at the entrance of the courtroom with her heart racing. It’s the day of the trial and the opening statements have already been made by both parties. They are supposed to call Tatum on the stands now to give his testimony but he hasn’t returned yet from wherever he went to search for Kelvin. They spoke last night on the phone and he promised to be here early but she cannot even reach him now, not even through the mindlink. “Your honour, if the prosecution does not have a witness to present as they claim, you should save us all the trouble. Their accusation was baseless from the start, a waste of time. I implore the court to kick this case out,” Donald stands up and says with a confident smirk on his face. “If your witness is not here in the next ten minutes, you will leave me no choice, Barrister Bass,” Judge Ruth says calmly but her words create a storm of horror in Leila. She shakes her leg in trepidation, fiddling with her finger
Leila patiently waits at home for hours, hoping to hear something from Tatum concerning Kelvin’s whereabouts or to just hear anything from him at all. She did not know that he was also close to Tatiana, they certainly seemed close from the way he had his hands over her shoulders, their bodies close together from the time they left the courtroom to Tatum’s car outside, he even held the car door open for her. She scoffs internally. She’s not jealous, it’s just that Kelvin loves Tatiana deeply and it would crush his heart if Tatiana is somehow playing games with him and why did it never even occur to her to ask Tatiana of Kelvin’s whereabouts? She just assumed they would be together but apparently they are not, Tatiana is with another man. She should pay Tatiana a visit and find out what she knows about Kelvin’s whereabouts if that is the case. Tatum’s smell hangs heavy in the air as Leila walks through the corridor of doors to find Tatiana’s apartment from the address Bass gave to
Why the sudden change in attitude? It’s like Tatum doesn’t even care about her anymore. The last time she saw him this cold and nonchalant towards her was that day on the cliff? Is the monster back? Since she returned, all he has spoken about is earning her forgiveness, getting a second chance and for them to get back together but he openly flirts with another woman in front of her and acts this cold? She can’t deny it feels weird to be treated this way by him again. She thought she was completely over him or is she not? She can no longer find the raging and bitter anger she has been holding onto against him. Why? Could it be because she believes that he never truly meant to hurt her and that he was only protecting her? Before this very moment, his words have been consistent with his actions so far, perhaps that is why she finds this interaction too off putting and upsetting. He did not interfere with her mother’s case as he promised, he did not intervene to save Carmela’s f
Leila’s heart pounds slowly with nervous jitters with Antonio’s hands around her waist as he leads her into the private room of a high end restaurant within the Blood moon pack. She had no reason to say no to his request to take her on a date, he is her second chance mate. Another chance that the goddess has given her to enjoy what was denied her. Tatum has clearly moved on, she should as well and Antonio, though not having that rugged handsomeness of Tatum that she admires very much, is a looker, the waitresses at the restaurant are practically eating him up with their looks. Antonio pulls back a chair for her to sit before taking a seat opposite her. “I have seen pretty women in my day Leila, quite a lot of them too but it would be heresy to compare any of them to you, blasphemy I should say, because you, love, are a goddess and all I want to do is worship you,” Antonio says in a coquettish voice, his grin splitting from ear to ear. Leila's cheeks turn red and she smiles shyly.
