Leila spent the rest of the afternoon cradled up in Tatum’s arm until he had to leave to close out the first day of the Werewolf games as is customary.
He didn’t even want to leave her but she insisted and it made her feel giddy to see him so clingy.
Who would have thought.
But she wonders if the attention and affectionate moment she got from him was all for her or because of the baby growing in her womb? Tatum did ask her to stay before she told him about the baby and that gives her a little hope.
He may yet be in love with her, nothing would make her happier but it is nothing but mere hope, the same one that kept her around all this time.
Carmela doesn’t know what hit her next but her eyes fly wide open at the overbearing pressure that comes down on her and she grits her teeth, fighting hard to resist the command in Leila’s voice.Leila doesn’t have her wolf, yet her own wolf is trashing in her head, unable to resist the pressure to submit to Leila’s authority.Is this the sort of power that the— no, it’s impossible, not without her wolf but why can’t she stop herself?She caves in, feeling her wolf going crazy, her head throbbing with immense pain and she bares her neck to Leila submissively.“Luna,” Carmela mutters, shock clear in her eyes, her heart pounding in sheer horror as Leila smile
Leila hears Tatum as he enters the house, his minty scent enveloping her nostrils, standing out from the smell of food brings comfort to her.She has already finished cooking and has set the dining table but she is still in the kitchen, waiting for her strawberry cake to be ready for dessert.“There must be a feast going on here,” Theo says, stepping in behind Tatum, seeing the array of dishes laid out on the dining table.Carmela comes down the stairs, wearing a skimpy red leather gown and red hot lipstick.“Welcome Alpha,” She hugs Tatum, just as Leila steps out of the kitchen to greet Tatum.Tatum locks eyes with Leila and he sees
Her heart hammers against her chest with such ferocity like it is trying to burst out.Anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment, everything she feels for Leila doubling their portion in her heart.Tatum turns with Leila still hanging off him but he quickly drops her, holding her firm in front of him to cover his boner.Adaline rushes in, immediately attacking Leila.“What have you done to her this time, you—”“Mother….” Tatum growls, his alpha aura blazing and the pressure is so intense that Adaline feels the name she is about to call Leila run back down her throat.
“I’m sure it was a mistake, Leila wouldn’t do that to you on purpose,” Tatum frowns as he helps Carmela to her feet, glancing at Leila who holds an unreadable expression on her face.First, at the tunnel and just now, Carmela is not trying to hide the fact that she wants to harm her. She doesn’t care what anyone says but she is not putting her baby's life at risk by living under the same roof as Carmela.She knows that demanding for Tatum to send Carmela out of the house will put him in a difficult position but her child’s safety is what is more important to her and Carmela is no friend either.Who harbours their own enemy?“She did it on purpose. I'm telling y
Carmela insisted on leaving last night and Leila was all the more grateful for it. No matter how much she whined and complained afterwards, Tatum refused to go back on his words, firmly taking Leila’s side.Leila can tell he is not all the way happy about his decision and it aches her heart, wondering if he still has feelings for Carmela, despite swearing himself to her.Afterall, she is still his mate.Right now, she is with Tatum and Adaline heading for the second day of the werewolf games and she is nervous. This will be her first public appearance after the scandal at Carmela’s welcome back party.How will her own pack members treat her in the presence of other packs?
“Stop…” Leila pinches Tatum’s side, breaking the kiss and noticing the eyes of the other Alphas and their lunas fall on them. “The crowd…..people are staring at us,” she whispers.Tatum gives her a sexy smirk, brushing his thumb over her supple lips, his grey eyes full of lust and passion.“Don’t complain now, you’re the one who said I don’t show them you’re my wife enough. What better way to let them know you are fucking mine,” he pecks her lips again and Leila’s heart races even harder, flushing with a joyful feeling at the way he calls her his possessively.“Kiss her again!” Someone yells from the crowd.&ldquo
“Don’t stay longer than needed and mindlink me if anything odd happens,” Tatum says to Leila outside Amanda’s apartment.They had just left the games for that day and Leila wanted to pay Amanda a visit before heading home. Yesterday when she agreed to stay, she called to have her and Curtis released with immediate effect.“I’ll be fine Alpha,” Leila smiles at him, her heart warming at the concern in his eyes and his voice.“Alright, come here,” Tatum curls his hands around her waist, pulling her into him and leaning against the car and he kisses her sultrily in the open.Leila pushes away, gazing around and feeling hot. Something about the way he kisses her anywh
“I really don’t know where he is at the moment,” Curtis says, fully dressed and leaning against the couch where Amanda is sitting opposite Leila.Leila frowns. It isn’t the reply she is expecting.“I don’t understand. He asked you to come here but you don’t know where he is?”“Yeah, he spoke to pops and they were gonna call Alpha Tatum to sort the whole shit out but then he got a call and just bailed. We haven’t heard from or seen him since then.” Curtis replies.He only just properly introduced himself to Leila as the second son of Kelvin’s aunt who is married to the Alpha of the Death Claw pack. Leila had hoped that Curtis would
