and you don't want them without a Luna until you heal Carmi's wolf but how is that fair to me? Besides, they already chose her over me, so just set me free, please." Every word, every syllable, every single sentence that leaves Leila's lips cuts through Tatum's heart

she is saying the truth but something deep inside him, something even he cannot explain, doesn't want to let Leila
