Chapter 16

Surprised to hear Carmela yelling and seeing the cold look on the old Luna's face, Leila lets go of Carmela's arms, still confused about the absence of the scar. "Ouch.." Carmela cries out, gripping her wrist as if to massage it but she twists it out of its socket, causing hot tears to stream down her eyes.

"What have you done to my daughter in law, you silly girl?!" Adaline, Alpha Tatum's mother, yells at Leila, storming forward.

Leila freezes at her words, shock evident in her eyes and pain pinching her heart. Adaline has never hidden her displeasure towards her but she never expected her to call Carmela her daughter in law openly. "My wrist, I think it fell off its socket," Carmela cries, gingerly supporting the damaged wrist with her other hand, her face a mess of tears. "What? How?" Leila turns to her with a confused expression, trying to hold the arm but Carmela backs away.

"Don't touch it, don't touch me, it hurts, it really hurts."

"Get out of the way," Adaline shoves Leila, so hard that she falls to the ground.

Ella looks on in shock as Adaline tends to Carmela wondering what is going on the did not hold Carmela's hand with that much force or has she really growwm that strong? Without her wolf, she is weaker than the weakest omega in the pack, it's why Taturn trains her away from everyone, to keep her weakness

a secret

As she dusts herself up and gets closer to both women, her face stings and a deafening sound strums her ear, the vision in her left eye becoming blind for a mement from the impact of Adaline's powerful slap.

"You insolent child. I have tolerated you for the last two years but if you think such bloody schemes will keep you as Luna, think again. I will do anything within my power to make sure by the next full moon, Carmela is the one in my son's bed." Adaline snorts, rage and hatred clear in her tone.
