[Blackwater Restaurant, 7pm. Let's talk about it.]

Tatum frowns, hitting the send button and sending the text to Leila.

He drops his phone and sighs. The pressure from the council of elders is getting worse since everyone now knows Leila no longer lives with him and she has completely neglected her duties as Luna.

He seems to be the only one holding back, he should go ahead and marry Carmela, it's the right thing to do, the pack approves of her, she has the phoenix mark, but his wolf does not sense her. Everyone else may not see that as an issue because she bears the mark but the prophecy did not just say she was going to bear the mark, it also said she was going to be his fated mate, which she currently isn't.. [8pm.]

Leila replies to his text and Tatum thinks even her reply is cold.

The beautiful afternoon sun finally sets at dusk and Tatum makes his way to Black water restaurant.

He's almost at the entrance when Carmela's orange and mint smell wafts into his nose and he frowns.

She shouldn't be here.

"Don't tell me you were coming to dine without me?" Her airy voice reaches his ear before she steps up beside him.

"I'm here for a meeting," Tatum replies coldly.
