Chapter 70
+25 BORUS
Leila spent the rest of the afternoon cradled up in Tatumâs arm until he had to leave to close out the first day of the Werewolf games as is
customary.
He didnât even want to leave her but she insisted and it made her feel
giddy to see him so clingy.
Who would have thought.
But she wonders if the attention and affectionate moment she got from him was all for her or because of the baby growing in her womb? Tatum did ask her to stay before she told him about the baby and that gives her a little hope.
He may yet be in love with her, nothing would make her happier but it is nothing but mere hope, the same one that kept her around all this time.
Lying in his arms, they really didnât say much to each other but Leila
could tell his mind was as troubled as hers.
There is a lot at play but she will enjoy it as much as she can while being careful not to hurt herself again. If his words do not mirror his actions, she will retreat and leave for good this time.
Feeling a bit happy but very confused, she decides to make him dinner to eat when he gets back. It feels just like before when she felt happy doing anything for him because that is what truly brings her joy but once she climbs down the stairs, bitterness churns in her gut and she wonders if she should just go back up.
âWhat are you doing Leila? This is your house, he chose you. You are his wife and the Luna. Take back what is yours,â She muses, seeing
Carmela in the living room.
She still cannot believe that Carmela actually wanted to kill her. That

woman is her enemy now and she has to get rid of her.
Tatum may have told her that he will never let her go and that he will do better but that doesnât solve the problem of Carmela being in the frame.
Tatum doesnât doubt anything Carmela says and she doesnât know how to get Tatum to see Carmelaâs true colours.
Even she was blind to it for the longest. If it wasnât for the missing scar and subsequent events, she would never have known.
Was Carmela even really kidnapped? If the scar is missing, what else about that night wasnât real?
She ignores them and goes to the kitchen, surprised to see someone who she doesnât recognize cooking in her kitchen.
âWho are you?â Leila asks in a polite tone, squinting her eyes.
The lady smiles broadly at her. âIâm chef Tiana Millers, I was invited
here by the Luna of this pack to cook for the Alpha during the entirety of the werewolf games.â
Leila jerks her head back in surprise. The Luna? Ohâ¦.She must mean Carmela.
Sheâs now posing as the Luna outside the pack too? Leila scoffs internally.
Sheâs taking back whatâs rightfully hers, starting with her kitchen.
âSheâs not the Luna and Iâll be making my husbandâs meal from now on. I see youâre only just getting started, so please do not waste your time to continue,â Leila replies in the same polite manner.
Tianaâs eyes widen and goosebumps ride up her skin.
Despite Leilaâs calm tone, it carries so much authority and her aura is imposing, way stronger than Carmelaâs and Tiana is forced to bow to

Lella.
âI didnât know this pack had two Lunas. Forgive me, Iâm not from here,â Tiana says in a cautious tone, avoiding Leilaâs eyes. Something about the woman in front of her is powerful, very powerful.
âThere is only one Luna and I would like to use my kitchen. Now,â Lellaâs voice becomes cold and her face is impassive, giving the look of someone not to be messed with.
The two omegas in the kitchen cower under Leilaâs aura, pursing their lips tightly, not daring to speak or even breathe too loud.
Never in this house has the Luna been so harsh and cold towards anyone.
This is a totally different side to her.
Is this what they have to be dealing with from now on? Their hearts become wary and full of fear because the cold Luna in front of them is truly scary.
âWhatâs the problem here?â Carmela asks, walking into the kitchen, looking at Leila contemptuously and Leila is actually relieved that Carmela can finally look at her the way she truly feels and not with the fake smiles and smirks.
Itâs time to put the fake Luna in her place for good.
âI thought you were the Luna but this Luna is asking me to stop cooking, that she will be making the Alphaâs meal,â Tiana replies in a low tone, glancing between the two women.
Carmela brushes her off, hiding the contempt in her eyes as she faces Leila. âItâs just to give Tatum a special treat after his trip. Surely you wonât stand in the way of that.â
âCarmela, have you forgotten who you are talking to? Pay your
