Kelvin tenses, his mouth parting in shock, unintentionally giving Leila more room to suck on his lower lip. His entire body shoots with pleasure from the softness of her lips, the tenderness of her kiss, goosebumps rent his entire skin and a million fireworks go off in his heart and he shuts his eyes, relishing it. Maybe he can have her, maybe he can have this. Now that she has kissed him, he cannot dodge the topic anymore, he will either have to claim her or clearly reject her.

He finds his hands slowly running down her back, all the way to her waist and he pulls her close hesitantly, wondering if he should break or deepen the kiss when he hears a soft growl behind them and he opens his eyes to see Tatum staring right at him. But it is not anger he sees in those grey eyes, it is sadness and pain, a dreary and gloomy look.

It is a look he knows all too well, a look he had in his eyes for years whenever he saw Leila and Tatum together. The pain of seeing someone you love with someone else is not something you can easily hide, it shines bright even behind the darkest eyes. Does this mean Tatum still loves Leila, will he want to claim her?

From his little snooping around since he returned, Tatum is a much different Alpha and he now rules with an iron fist. The pack members are forbidden from mentioning Leila or the witch's murder, the ones who dared disobey met an unkind fate. He is now nicknamed Alpha Tatum the ruthless, a man who used to be Alpha Tatum, the kind.

Kelvin breaks the kiss and in a flash, Tatum shifts, blurring into the darkness and takes off into the woods.

Kelvin shifts his gaze from the dark nothingness and stares back at Leila, a million questions burning through his mind but only one stands out.

Is this kiss a show of her affection for him or simply to make Tatum jealous?

He cannot deal with this, not now, he needs his mind fully focused on getting Liana out of Justin's grasps.
