“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
“Give me your wrist,” Liana says in the room, taking out an amulet from her handbag and slipping it into Leila’s wrist.Her mother had called her to visit and she spoke with a terrible urgency, that Leila was at her house at first light the next morning.It was rare for her mother to be in such panic and it scared Leila.“This is for your protection and especially for the baby. Without your wolf, your body is weak and your cells heal slower. This amulet will help with that. It will also cast evil eyes away from the baby now that everyone knows you are pregnant.”Leila stares from her mother to the red beaded bracelet with dark spots, joined together by a red and black leathe
Leila stares at herself in the mirror wearing a blue crystal down with black heels adorning her feet, her auburn hair clipped to the side with a tiny diamond tennis necklace hanging around her neck.She smiles a satisfactory smile at how she looks but she heaves a worried sigh for what she is about to do.“My world….Selene must have thought she was creating two people when she gave you this much beauty,” Tatum says from behind her and she turns with a full smile on her lips.There he stands, gallant as ever, handsome as the devil with the smile of an angel on his lips, adorned in an all black outfit. Black pants hanging off his waist and on his brogue shoes, a black short sleeve shirt that hugs his dangerously sexy biceps tucked into his pants.
Just as Leila planned, Tatum’s back barely touches the bed before he falls asleep, he had already been dozing off in the car on their way back home.Leila lies, cradled in Tatum’s arm for a while but her eyes are wide open , her heart racing with many emotions, her mind clouded with a plethora of thoughts.She feels comforted being next to Tatum and she would not trade this life for anything else but tonight she drugged him, even if it is for the greater good, she cannot shake off the guilt that is slowly and painfully clawing at her heart.When she feels Tatum is deeply asleep, she carefully wriggles free from his arms and waves her fingers across his face and Tatum feels it but he doesn’t move.H
“Yes! That’s how you do it!”Tatum jumps to his feet, fist pumping the air, he jams his hands together with much excitement, chuckling with the look of a proud father in his eyes.It’s another day of the contest and one of his warriors has just taken down another wolf that was almost twice his size in wolf to wolf combat.“Did you see how he did that?” He asks Leila, touching her shoulders with excitement.Leila jerks at his touch, like someone jolted out of a trance by his touch. Her body is present there, perhaps her spirit too but her mind is already far gone.“What? Who did what?” Leila replies, glancing f
Humming a tone to herself with a little smile on her lips, Leila pours out two glasses of orange juice. She stares down at her stomach and her bulge is becoming quite noticeable.Her smile morphs into a full one and she runs her hand down her stomach, her heart feeling fuzzy, before placing the glasses on a tray, retrieving a box of cookies from one of the kitchen drawers and placing some on a plate which she puts on the tray and makes her way to the living room.She has already sent over a letter to the pack witch to inform her of her intention to have a meeting and all that remains is for it to be scheduled.“Here,” she hands Tatum one of the glasses and he slowly takes it, barely saying a word or really even looking at her.
Leila rolls her eyes at Carmela and practically storms upstairs to her room. She cannot ask Carmela to leave, she doesn’t want to upset Tatum.She doesn’t even know why she mentioned Carmela to him in the first place, it was her jealousy speaking.What woman would be happy that the man she is crazily in love with is thinking of another woman?She slams the door shut, crashing on the bed, seething with a scowl on her face.She feels so much rage at the mere sight of Carmela with everything that she has discovered so far. She needs to find a way to quickly expose Carmela for who she really is.When will Kelvin get back to her on the assassin? That
“So what if I am?”Leila’s harsh words slash through Tatum’s heart ferociously, inflicting a gruesome pain on him. He was hoping she would deny it, that she would lie to him but she didn't.“Why did you even banish him? What did he ever do to you?” Leila raises her voice as tears break forth from her eyes and it breaks Tatum’s heart even further.What is so special about Kelvin that she loves so much that she is not willing to let him go?What does Kelvin have that he lacks?What does she see in Kelvin?“He attacked the head warrior of the pack, I can
