Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

Chapter 2

The doctors didn't find anything wrong with Carmela except a few bruises, but Tatum insisted on her being hospitalised for the best care with a full bodycheck. Leila spends all the time she can squeeze out visiting Carmela. The whispers about her have gotten louder than ever now that Carmela has returned, with everyone asking, when will Alpha Tatum make Carmela his Luna?

The question is not if he will but when he will. Everyone in the pack is so certain of it.

As for Leila, she pretends not to hear these gossips, she tries not to think about it. She is just happy that her long-lost best friend who saved her has returned but the happiness is not a full one.

Leila knows the truth in her heart and it is the pain that comes with it that makes her still live in denial.

Alpha Tatum has tirelessly spent the last two years looking for his lost love and now that he found her, it was only a matter of time before she got the axe of rejection and let his rightful woman take her place. She knew she stole the time with him and she was okay with that. But the baby? The baby really came at the worst timing...

"I can't believe you went through all that Carmi, thank the goddess for the power of true love, what would have happened if the Alpha hadn't found you?" Tracy, one of Carmela's old friends in the pack says to her.

Carmela is lying down in her hospital bed with her feet stretched on Leila's lap while two other women, Tracy and Edna sit by her side.

"Of course he will!" Edna laughs with Tracy as if Leila is not present, "He found Carmi as his mate that night, remember?! The mate bond would guide him!"
