Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

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.

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.

Tatum replies coldly, his alpha aura blazing as the command

"Tatum, I'm-"
