Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 8

“manage,” Leila replies, her heart sinking to her stomach and she gives Carmela at sullen look but Carmela keeps a straight face like losing your wolf wasn’t such a shameful thing.

“I’m sure you do. Now, how about we go make some cold drinks and let the man work?” Carmela’s straight face lights up with a beaming smile as she replies, glancing at Tatum but Leila is too uncomfortable.

What else does Carmela know? Is her secret still safe? What if she tells it to the other pack members? The consequences will be too dire for her. The pack members will blame her for Tatum’s actions just like they did when Carmela disappeared.

Fear, worry and anxiety all flood her heart at the same time and she stands up abruptly, feeling too self conscious and shameful in front of Carmela.

“I um- I have to go, I have somewhere else to be.”

“But you only just got here, I was hoping to get more stories about your reign as Luna,” Carmela replies with a subtle coyness in her tone.

Leila gulps, becoming more worried at the tone of Carmela’s voice. She was probably overthinking it but she just didn’t feel good being in her presence anymore.

“I have to see a friend, it’s urgent,” She replies but this friend is not just any friend, he is also a divorce lawyer.

“Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming,” Kelvin Costner says with a coy smile, the moment Leila walks into his office.

Leila walks over to him, not taking her seat but actually pinching his arm, holding it for some seconds before she chuckles.

“Real enough for you?” She cocks a brow and finally sits down.

A sense of calm suddenly fills Leila, seeing Kelvin’s smile. It’s been ages since she last saw him but she knows even decades apart, Kelvin will always welcome her.

Leila and Kelvin grew up as neighbours from the time that they were kids but they never really grew close until Leila’s fall out with Carmela and her gang. She started to spend more time with the neighbour’s weird nerd kid who, like her, had a passion for reading.

Their friendship developed from there and they formed a strong bond over the years.

Kelvin chuckles, shaking his head at her.
