Pregnant I left him To His First Love

Tatum broke the table and drove the broken leg through his chest to stop himself from abusing and taking advantage of her when she was clearly at his mercy, Leila cannot shake that night out of her mind even if it's been three days. She could feel the urge he had, saw the way he struggled to restrain himself, the way he kept asking her to leave. The desire was not only in his wolf's red eyes, she also saw it in his grey orbs.

She is sure for certain now that Tatum knows they are fated mates, she could feel their wolves connecting that night, Tatum should have felt it too, there's no way he didn't.

"Mama," Amara comes into Leila's room, holding one of the dolls from the doll house that Tatum bought her. "Can I go to the playground, please?"

"Listen honey, Mama's too busy right now to take you and you know gran gran can't leave the house," Leila replies with a small smile, lifting and putting Amara on her laps as she fiddles with some files in front of her. "Mama."

"Hmmm."

"But someone else can take me, you and gran gran are not the only adults," Amara says and Leila sighs with a smile.

She totally forgot about Kelvin, she'll see if he's free to take her.

She's about to mindlink Kelvin when Amara says. "I want Uncle Alpha to take me, he promised. Please mama, let him be your friend for today."

Leila gazes at Amara for a fair amount of time and something she hopes is not guilt fills her heart, leaving her wondering if she is doing the right thing keeping her away from her father, hiding her identity.

Is she really doing it to protect Amara or is it because of her hatred for Tatum?noveldrama

If it is for the latter, then she isn't being fair to her child as much as Tatum deserves not to know that she is his child.

How is Tatum even doing with the wound he must have suffered from impaling himself? He hasn't shown up to the house opposite her in days, he's an Alpha and would have healed by now already but still he did out of restraint and respect for her. It wouldn't be so bad to see how he's faring, would it? Just to know how he's recovering from the injury.

"Alright honey, I'll mindlink him and you can ask him yourself," she smiles at Amara.

"I love you Mama," Amara hugs her.

The mindlink barely connects before Tatum's worried and frantic voice sounds in her ear.

'Leila? Are you alright? Is everything okay?'

'You sound like you want it not to be.'

'I'm sorry, it's just-nevermind. To what do I owe the pleasure?'

Leila doesn't reply immediately, realising where Tatum is. Their old bedroom and he's staring at her portrait, She took that picture a few hours to the first time they made stot love it was on his birthday, everything was magical, the best night of her life.

Why the hell is she feeling sentimental? She quickly pushes the feeling away.

'Amara has a request to make,' she mindlinks, facing Amara.

"Go ahead honey."

"Uncle Alpha, will you come with me to the playground? Don't worry, mama has agreed for you to be her friend today," Amara says in a hopeful tone.

'You tell that sweetheart that I'll take her round the world if she wants me to and her mama can come too.'

'You don't even enjoy travelling,' Leila rolls her eyes.

'Leila, you're not the only one who can change,' Tatum replies in a very sad and implicit tone and a loud silence follows.

No.

Leila pushes the thought away from her mind before it can even form. A leopard cannot shed its spot and she will not be its prey again.

"So....did he say yes or no Mama?"

Amara's voice snaps her out of it. "Yes, he'll be here," she replies.

A little while later, the doorbell rings and an excited Amara buzzes to the front door and opens it but it's not Tatum standing outside, it's Carmela.

"I know you," Amara looks up and squints at her. "You're Uncle Alpha's future wife. Did he send you to get me?"

Carmela smiles sweetly at Amara and crouches to meet her height. "You're quite a darling aren't you?"

"Honey! Who's there?" Leila's voice

comes from inside and when Amara turns, Carmela quickly circles her hand over Amara's head before she spits on it and hides her hand behind her as Leila steps out.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Leila snarls at Carmela, putting Amara behind her.

Carmela reaches inside her bag with her other hand and stretches an envelope towards Leila who just glares at it.

"It's my pregnancy test result," Carmela smirks, "he's never going anywhere now."

"Get-out-of my-house," Leila seethes, her eyes narrowed at Carmela.

"Take care of your daughter," Carmela chuckles slightly, "she'll need it she mutters to herself with a sinister smile as she walks to her

car Tatum can only have one heir." en
