Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 41

He has never felt fear like this before but when he realises what Leila is about to say, it dawns on him heavily….so much so that the hairs on the back of his neck are up.

He grew up learning that as an Alpha, fear is the last feeling he should ever have right before he learned that his feelings must always come second to his pack but the thought of Leila divorcing him is dreadful.

This is the third time she is bringing it up, he has been avoiding it because he doesn’t know what to do, she has every right to demand a divorce but he just doesn’t want to let her go because he knows the truth.

Before the phoenix mark, before the night Carmela was kidnapped, before all of it, he always wished she was the one, the one with the mark, the one that will be his mate but it went to Carmela and his duty to his pack comes first.

He must honour the prophecy but when fate presented him with a chance to keep her close to him, he took it. It was to protect her but it wasn’t just to protect her.

She never loved him, but she has never looked at him with such pure hatred. He feels dread for the look in those eyes that he was once drawn to, those blue, happy and warm eyes that are now cold and hateful.

He wants the warmth back in them, he wants them happy again.

“You are my wife Leila, I don’t want to hear it. You don’t f**g say those words to me,” Tatum’s grip is firm over her mouth, his voice sounding colder and harsher than he intended it to.

“Tatum…it’s okay, let’s go….” Carmela quickly says in a sad tone, hating the way Tatum calls Leila his wife with such assertiveness.

“Theo, take Carmela back to her room. Amanda, leave us,” Tatum replies coldly, his alpha aura blazing as the command leaves his lips.

“Tatum, I’m-”

“I said go!” Tatum turns to Carmela with a cold eye, his eyes flashing red, his voice becoming animalistic, finding it hard to control his rising temper.

Leila looks down at him but she doesn’t feel the warmth she expected to feel in her heart seeing Tatum choose her over Carmela for the first time.

It just feels….cold.

He broke her already.

Tatum-releases her mouth as the three leave the room, his eyes holding emotions that Leila cannot read. How does he fix this situation? Why is she so hellbent on divorcing him when despite the pressure from the council of elders and his mother, he refuses to do so.
