Pregnant I left him To His First Love

How could anyone curse a child, a child so sweet and harmless?

Leila questions herself as she gets into her car, her vision blurred in tears, her heart soaked in fear as she drives to Tatum's office.

The first name that comes to her mind is Carmela, she once tried to kill her baby in the womb and she cannot put this beyond her even if she has no proof.

Carmela is as vile and as wicked as they come and goddess help her, if she finds out that Carmela has anything to do with this, she will no longer sek revenge the proper way that she plans to, no, she will rip Carmela's heart out and spit on her fucking dead body.

She doesn't know where Tatum is but she has to find him, he keeps blocking her mindlinks. She pulls up to the packhouse, ignores the people staring at her, breezes past the ones who try to walk up to her to make small talk, skips fucking protocol and procedures to see the Alpha and she goes into Tatum's office but he isn't there, it doesn't even look like he has been here in a while.

In her anger and frustration, she slaps one of the frames with their backs to her on the table off and it flies to the floor, the glass covering breaking on impact.

She sighs defeatedly and bends to pick it up and to her utmost surprise, it is a picture of her but that is not the most shocking thing, it is a picture of her from her birthday party two years ago. She remembers the day very well, she remembers the dress, one of the luxury stores had it delivered to her address as a gift for her patronage even if she had only bought like two items from them and it was a really expensive dress?

Why would Tatum have this picture?

What does it mean?

Has he been keeping tabs on her over the years?

Didn't he want her and her child to die, so why would he have her picture from two years ago, framed and displayed on his office desk?

Curiosity gets the better of her and she stares at the other two frames sitting on the table. She circles over so she can see them and one is a picture of his mother but the other one makes her heart race and her brows furrow in confusion.

This was taken barely six months ago, on a solo hunting trip and—

No way......

She drops into Tatum's chair, staring at the picture, feeling really confused.

The stranger who took her this picture, she never saw his face, he had a mask and glasses on, underneath his hoodie but many people dressed like that in the cold but now that she thinks about it, it was Tatum, she can see his physique now, how he only gestured and never spoke and he must have concealed his smell to make her think he was one of the humans on the trip.

She drops the frame on the table, not knowing what to do with or how to feel about her new and sudden revelation.

She still has to find Tatum to get that permission to invite her grandmother, their child is dying.

"Alpha are you-" the door opens and Carmela steps in, sneering the moment she sees Leila, "what are you doing in my fiance's office?"

She wants to taunt Carmela with the pictures of her on Tatum's desk but Amara's life is more important than these petty games.

"I was just leaving," she replies, walking towards the door when Carmela blocks her path and shoves her back.

"That wasn't the answer to my question, you bitch. What the hell are you doing here?"

Leila glares at her, wondering if the sweet funny girl she once used to know is hidden somewhere in this sad and vain woman.

"I don't answer to you, now get out of my way," she shoves Carmela aside.

"How's your little girl?" Carmela asks and Leila halts, just as she is about to turn the doorknob.

Carmela's out of nowhere question heightens her suspicion and she turns with fury as her wolf takes over.

Carmela sees the shift in Leila's eyes from blue to a burning amber with yellow and red flames and she backs away in fear, recognizing those eyes.noveldrama

It was exactly how they looked when Leila struck her even though Leila was unconscious and she lost her wolf for two years and had to leave and right now those eyes are looking at her with rage.

"Get away from me, get away from me," Carmela protests but it's too late.

Leila grabs Carmela and slams her on the table, sending a sharp pain shooting through Carmela's body before Leila extends her claws and plunges her hands straight into Carmela's chest.
