Chapter 12

Leila looks away from his eyes. How dare she endear him when it brings pain to her heart knowing it only gives her a hope she shouldn't have. Afterall, the names were only to amplify their act to everyone and now the gig is up. "Leila.. that day when I married you, I meant every word, every promise," Tatum says in a calm voice, his eyes carrying an emotion Leila can't quite describe.

He promised a lot that day. He promised to always be there for her, to help and to protect, even though...they are not mates.

They aren't. Tatum knew that, and lied to the pack for her.

She once thought it might be the result of somewhat a small but real affection in his heart for her, but now...she realises it's only because her life was saved by his Luna. She is just a symbol of Carmela in his eyes. Nothing more. None of them thought Carmela would come back. Only he did, only he kept searching for her.

The signs are there since Carmela returned, she cannot allow herself to hope, he will break his promise for his first love, it is inevitable.

"I know Tatum, you don't have to tell me that and I really do not have a problem with Carmela returning. She's your true mate and you've spent a long time searching for her. I'm happy for you," Leila replies with a gentle smile, slowly pulling her hands away from Tatum's grasp.
