Semua Bab Pregnant, I left him To His First Love: Bab 101 - Bab 110

“Tatum, where is this?” Leila asks when Tatum takes off her blindfold and her vision is welcomed by a dimly lit cave with candle lamps hanging from the walls, a small red clothed table with two glasses and a bottle of wine on top of it, as well as an array of covered dishes. Red rose petals cover every expanse of the floor, including where she is standing and she turns to look at Tatum, confusion and curiosity clear in her eyes. She guessed right, this is a date but why a cave of all places? “What do you think of our crime scene detective?” Tatum asks with a small smile, watching her reaction as she takes in the scenery. “Well it’s quite aesthetic I should say, our culprit put in a lot of thought. Favourite flowers, nice ambience, favourite wine, I’m sure I can smell the sweet savoury dishes covered as well, perfect to lure our victim to–” she pauses, “what happened to the victim?” “That’s why I brought you here detective, to figure out what happened but I’ll tell you the story

“You insolent little twat! Do you have any idea of the sacrifices that were made to put you in this position?” Trent, Carmela’s father, barks at her. “I thought you said Tatum loves you, that it will be enough for you to take his side as Luna.”Carmela keeps her eyes on the floor, her body vibrating with a soft tremor as she kneels, taking in the bearting words of her father.Trent leans forward from his chair and places the burning edge of his cigar on her shoulder but Carmela does not dare to move despite the searing of her skin as her cloth melts against it, she does not want to incur his wrath past a verbal extent.“Forgive me sir, I can still fix this,” Carmela replies in a monotonous tone. Her father does not care about emotions, only about results and as far as he is concerned, Carmela is failing him.“Do not be deceived by this tattoo on your neck,” Trent replies, yanking her dress from the shoulder down to reveal the mark of the phoenix on the joint of her neck and shoulder.

Leila watches as Clayton’s eyes glow repeatedly as they wade through the sea of green trees, making their way to one of Bobby's hideouts, a wood in the cabins.They had gotten an anonymous tip from a man about the place who happened to have escaped from Bobby’s kidnapping attempt during the course of the investigation.“Who was that?” Leila asks Clayton when his eyes stop glowing.“None of your business,” Clayton sneers at her in a playful manner. Leila punches his arm and grabs his sleeve. “Hey! We agreed no secrets between us right? I know you were talking about the case, you had that distant warrior look in your eyes.”Clayton smiles at her. “Good instinct, we may yet make a full fledged warrior out of you. I was talking about a case, just not this one.”He was talking about their particular investigation, he was mindlinking Tatum on the progress of things. He is under orders from his Alpha to update him every thirty minutes whenever he is with Leila.He also got a severe warning

“I killed a man Tatum, I killed someone.”It’s been two days since the incident but Leila cannot seem to stop thinking of talking about it. Seeing the wolf she had shot transform into a beautiful woman around her age made it all the more traumatic.“You saved Clayton, you did the right thing, you had no choice,” Tatum replies, tightening his hold around her, kissing the back of her hair and stroking her back gently.“Can you do me a favour?” He asks, spinning her around to face him.Leila nods, her eyes sullen.“Whenever you leave the house, make sure to take guards with you, I already assigned them,” Clayton replies calmly.“Why?” Leila asks, “I’ve never required protection within my own pack.”“See them as escorts,” Tatum replies, hugging her closer and he kisses her neck which eases her anxiety.She knows why Tatum doesn’t want her to go out without protection. She heard some omegas whispering about it in the house and she sees the hateful glares she gets when she steps outside.It

“Careful, do not leave your fingerprints on anything,” Clayton orders his men as they carry Alina’s mutilated body out. Leila mind linked him immediately she discovered Alina’s body and that of the little girl who attends to her.The white room which Leila walked into, now they had lamps everywhere to see, was actually connected to Alina’s life source.She was stabbed multiple times all over her body, her tongue was cut out and she was left to bleed to death. The moment she died, the room also lost its life.It was just an empty room with concrete walls and marbled walls after all.Leila gazes around, her eyes teary, her mind puzzled.Who could have done it? What could their reasons be? She never thought the pack’s witch could be someone so easy to kill.Has she always been targeted? Is it linked to her visit earlier?There are so many questions in her head but she cannot seem to answer any. Something tells her this death has something to do with her visit.It means she is being fol
