Leila gasps, dropping the glass in her hand, her heart pounding hard against her rib cage. Carmela turns around, staring at the video that is on a loop, playing over and over again. “Who did this?! Who is trying to sabotage the Luna of this pack? Turn it off, somebody turn it off,” Carmela shrieks. “You don’t have a wolf?” Someone beside Leila says to her . “A wolfless mutt has been our Luna? Outrageous,” another one adds. “Whoever released that video must be targeting the Luna with such lies, there’s no way she rules this pack without a wolf, it is a lie, that video has to be fake,” Carmela continues. Leila stays frozen to the spot, unable to figure what to do, what to say, how to say it. Her only wish is that the ground should give way and swallow her. Carmela knows she has no wolf but she just said it is a lie. If it were before, Leila would trust that her friend was defending her but after recent events, she’s not so sure of Carmela’s intention anymore. Suddenly, everyone’s
Kelvin gets to Leila before he can and despite the situation, Tatum feels that jealous feeling rise inside of him again. “I’ll take her,” he says in a low and cold tone to Kelvin, taking Leila from his hands. “Did she just pretend to faint to get the Alpha’s sympathy?” “What a pathetic woman.” “That’s enough,” Tatum’s voice is curt. “Whoever disrespects the Luna disrespects the Alpha, now get back to the party, all of you.” Carmela steps forward, her eyes flushed with tears, holding a deep sombre look in her eyes. “Is she going to be okay? Even though she lied against me, I still care about her well-being.” “Carmela is so kind, goddess bless her soul,” Tracy says in a soft tone, full of awe. “She is an angel, even to the devil that tries to sabotage her,” Edna adds. Kelvin seethes at them, seeing their hypocrisy clearly for what it is. Carmela may have been away in these two years but her minions were around and those videos were clearly taken pre planned. “Someone invaded
“Leila…..”Leila hears her name and her eyes snap open.Where is she? At a beach? She can feel the wet sand below her, she can feel the waves rushing against her feet, the smell of the salty sea.“Leila….Leila! Help me…..”She suddenly sees her younger self running along the pack borders, giggling and skipping along the column of trees and shrubs of the thick forest, seemingly full of joy and glee but when she turns and looks at Leila, her face is full of sadness and her eyes are pitch black and sombre.“Help me Leila,” Her little self says, dashing into the forest.Leila’s heart pounds and she rushes after her, feeling a great sense of fear and worry but the forest clears into an opening, endless white clouds for miles and that’s when Leila sees it, her wolf.“Ama
“So she still won’t talk to you?” Theo asks, taking out a cigarette from the pack on Tatum’s table.“Nope, not a word. Literally deaf and dumb when I’m in the room,” Tatum replies with a frown, swirling the whiskey in his glass and staring at it like it has the solutions to all his problems.It’s been a week since Leila woke up but the shoulders she gave him are more than just cold, they are freezing.She desperately wants to leave but he can’t let her out of the house, not now. It’s still too dangerous for her, his house is the only place some angry pack member is not going to try and attack her.He wants to be there for her, to explain himself to her but she won’t even let him talk or talk to him and it’s all because he banished Kelvin.Why does she care about that dude more than him?
“Rise and shine!”Leila feels someone throwing her duvet off her body before she hears the shrill voice that follows, Carmela’s voice.She immediately sits up and wears a cold look. She has been wondering when Carmela would show up to torment her.At last the day is finally here.“What do you want, Carmi?” Leila asks in a straight tone.Carmela places her index finger on her lip, squinting her eyes and smiling coyly down at Leila with a pout on her lips.“Hmmmm, what do I want? Well, none of that matters, the Alpha has instructed me to take utmost care of you while he’s away and I’m going to give it my all,” Carmela replies in a cheerful tone.“Away?” Leila retorts, her heartbeat suddenly increasing. “What do you mean ‘away’? Where is Tatum?&rd
“What is going on here?”Carmela’s face is wrath with annoyance when she enters the kitchen and sees Leila cooking.She particularly instructed the guards not to let Leila out of the room, she has to remain confined until she says otherwise.Tatum left her in charge even though Leila is still the Luna and Tatum promised to engage her when he returns.Nothing gives her greater pleasure.“What does it look like? I’m cooking,” Leila replies in a monotonous voice, not even turning to acknowledge Carmela’s presence and it stings Carmela.She ignores Leila and turns to the bodyguard standing with her inside the kitchen. One of the men stationed at the door of Leila’s room.“Do you want to explain what the Luna is doing out of her room?” She asks the guard, her scowl vividly showi
“Leila, why are you so hellbent on making me look bad?” Carmi asks in an accusatory tone, standing above Leila where she’s lying on the bed.Three other omegas are also in the room with them, each holding a tray containing food.“It’s been three days, three days and you have refused anything but water. Do you want to starve yourself to death? The Alpha left you under my care, what will he say if he comes back to you thin and sickly.”Leila gently raises her head up to look at Carmela but she doesn’t reply, feeling terribly weak.Has it been three days already? She didn’t even know.She cannot eat Carmela
When Leila comes to, she is surprised to see herself lying on the bed, instead of the floor where she collapsed.An intravenous drip is connected to her arm and she pulls it off, gazing around but she's alone in the room.Her body feels more energised than when she collapsed and her hunger pangs are gone.Her heart thuds and she places a hand over her stomach, feeling worried for her baby. Whatever Carmela wanted to give to her must already be in her system by now.She has to find a way to leave this house as soon as possible, she needs to escape, but how?[Leila, the werewolf games are in three days, does the Alpha’s curfew stop you from attending to
