Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10

She smiles bitterly at him, holding his gaze, letting the pain in her heart take full control of it. Her legs move with a slow tremor under the table and she bites back her tears, hoping her pain is not so evident in her voice.

“If I am STILL your Luna, when do I stop being her, Alpha?”

“What do you even mean by that?” Tatum looks at her weird.

“I mean, your true mate has returned, obviously my days are numbered,” Leila manages to keep her voice from trembling as she speaks.

Something that looks like guilt fills Tatum’s eyes and he shifts his gaze back to his laptop screen.

“What I choose to do with her shouldn’t concern you,” Tatum replies passively with an aloofness to his demeanour.

The tiny sliver of hope that Tatum may yet keep her flicks through Leila’s mind but she quickly pushes it away. He only said not to concern herself with it, he never said it won’t happen.

“I’m just asking because-”

“Leila, drop it,” Tatum snaps his laptop shut, his tone becoming stern. “Trying to change the topic by bringing up Carmela is low, even for you.”

Leila’s eyes bulged. “That’s not what I’m trying to do, Carmi was supposed to be your wife if she wasn’t kidnapped.”

Tatum shoots her a cold look, the tone of his voice rising.

“Tell me the truth Leila, are you really asking because of Carmela or because of your- Kelvin?”

Leila gasps in shock, her eyes coating with tears at the implication of his words that break her heart and her lips tremble as she replies.

“My Kelvin? I haven’t even seen him in years, where is this coming from?”

“I don’t want you seeing him again. Am I understood?” Tatum replies in the same cold voice, his eyes hard as a rock.

“I don’t understand why this is an issue, Kelvin is just a friend, you know this.”

Tatum looks up at her teary eyes but the cold look remains in his own eyes.

“And I have made myself clear, friend or not, you will not get close to him as long as you are my wife,” He shuts down her protest.

Leila purses her lips, unable to believe his audacity. She is nowhere as close to Kelvin as he is with Carmela and yet he seems to have a problem with her?

“This was a one off event, I promise it will never happen again,” She replies sullenly.
