Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

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 and pretty graphic description of what would befall him if as much as a hair on Leila’s head gets hurt.

He feels Tatum’s worries for Leila, a worry that he is quickly beginning to share. She exerts herself, working this case with him, trying to prove her innocence everyday and simultaneously runs the pack affairs, sometimes taking meetings in his office but he has never heard her complain once.

No wonder it was hard to tell that she did not have a wolf, she is a natural.

“Leila, I don’t think you should go in with us, stand by with one of my men. We’ll let you know if we need any help or anything,” Clayton says in a calm yet slightly worried tone.

He doesn’t trust the source of their intel one hundred percent and he had wanted to check it out on his own with a few of his men first but because of his oath to never keep anything regarding the investigation a secret from her,

he was obliged to tell her and she insisted that she must join them.

“I did not come all this way just to stand by, I’m going in with you,” Leila replies curtly, “besides,” she locks her arms around Clayton’s elbows much to his surprise, “I have the strongest warrior in the land to protect me if anything goes wrong.”

Clayton fights the heat pooling up to his face as his heart feels warmth from Leila holding him and saying those words.

He even tried to harm her, multiple times.
