Pregnant I left him To His First Love

"How are you mother? How do you feel?" Carmela asks Adaline as Adaline's eyes flutter open, while Carmela sits beside her bed.

They are back at Tatum's house and Adaline has been comatose for two days.

"Leila! Where is Leila?" Adaline jumps to her feet and Carmela frowns.

Since when does Adaline care so much about Leila?

She even risked her life to save Leila at Aragine hill.

Her hired assassin was just about to rip out Leila's throat and she was watching on with ample joy when Adaline suddenly got up and dove at the man, throwing them both off the hill.

She got up to finish the job herself but Amanda and one other guy suddenly showed up, completely ruining her plans.

She hates it. Leila must die.

She must never find out the truth.

"Mother, Leila is fine, she's in-"

Adaline doesn't even let her finish before she dashes out of the room and it stings Carmela deeply.

"Bitch," she mutters at Adaline as she leaves.

Leila is startled when her door flies open and Adaline rushes in, hugging her tightly, much to her surprise.

"How are you? How do you feel? Have you had yourself checked?" Adaline asks in a frantic tone, turning her left and right, checking her out.

"I'm fine mother, you saved my life, thank you," Leila replies in a tone full of warmth and gratitude.

"You're carrying my grandchild, I can't let anything happen to it," Adaline replies almost nonchalantly and an unexpected pain pricks Leila's heart.

For a tiny moment there, for a tiny fleeting moment, she let herself think Adaline cares about her as a daughter in law but it is only about the baby.

She will never be seen as more than an unwanted daughter in law in this woman's eyes.

"The baby is fine as well mother, you saved the both of us, "Leila replies, flashing Adaline a pained and bitter smile.

Just at this moment, Leila's door creaks open and both women look in the direction.

Adaline heaves a huge sigh of relief and Leila's heart skips as Tatum's comforting smell engulfs her nostrils and she runs towards him.

"Did you find him? Is he back in the pack?" She asks in a frantic tone, her eyes full of anticipation, her worry and fear seeping out of her.

Her heart has been in her throat for days now and she is more than grateful that Tatum has returned. She really needs to talk to Kelvin about the assassin so they can find him and nail him before Carmela uses him to strike again.

At this point, none of them is safe, Carmela is willing to hurt anyone including herself just to get what she wants and her desperation scares Leila, especially because Carmela has perfected the heart of playing the wolf in sheep's clothing.

She schemes in such a way that makes it hard to point fingers at her without concrete proof and Kelvin is the only one she knows smart enough to come up with a plan that can back Carmela into a corner.

She needs to deal with Carmela sooner than later, she needs to protect her family, she needs to protect Tatum.

Tatum frowns as Leila rushes up to him and pain strikes his heart, darting around and making itself at home.

He has been away for over a week and Leila doesn't even bother to ask him of his well-being first; rather she asks about Kelvin with so much fear and worry.

Does she even care about him at all? Kelvin claims to be her fated mate and Leila obviously loves him too, that much is clear to him.

Does she know Kelvin has been trying to get her the cure, is that what she has been hiding from him? He could not bring himself to ask Kelvin but the fact that Leila's heart has never been and will never be with him hurts more than anything in the entire world. He practically gave up his fated mate for her, intentionally did not try to find a cure for Carmela's wolf so he can keep using that as an excuse for why he has not done right by Carmela but he knows the truth deep down in his heart.

A truth that brings him deep and intense pain.
