Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121

“I said stay back,” Tatum growls, blocking Leila mid way down the stairs.

“I’ve had enough of this, first you kept me grounded here for days like a prisoner and now this?”

Leila gives him a cold once over, ducking underneath his arms and continues making her way down the stairs with gusto in her steps.

She has to defend herself, the Iron Claw Pack probably already thinks she’s responsible for the attack on Margaux because of Tatum’s action ar now the pack members are bringing a matter that has been put to bed to her doorstep?

She flings the door open just as Tatum steps up behind her and she is welcomed by an angry mob, welding sticks and torches and holding banners of slandering statements about her.

“What is this about?” Leila asks them in a curt tone, unable to hold back her annoyance.

“You are a murderer!”

“An evil woman!”

“An usurper!”

The crowd fires at her.

Leila is about to reply when the crowd parts and none other than Carmela slowly walks through the centre, a coy smirk flat on her lips as she approaches Leila but it’s not Carmela who catches Leila’s attention the most.

It’s the badly beaten man being dragged along the ground by two warriors. They throw him in front of Leila just as Carmela raises her hands and the crowd immediately goes mute.

“The Luna is supposed to be our mother, our protector, the star that brings light to our darkness but this woman,” Carmela spits out in a stern tone, pointing squarely at Leila as she takes a step closer before she whips her face to the crowd, her finger still pointed in Leila’s face.

“This woman, she is the cloud that has cast a shadow over the light this pack should have.”

“Yes..” The pack roared in support.

Leila grits her teeth, taking long deep breaths, rage boiling in her pits as she squints at Carmela.

“If anyone is darkness over this pack, it’s you Carmela,” Lella fires back at her, stepping forward.

“Luna, do not deny me,” the guy raises his head up and mutters weakly. “Your promised to protect me, please keep your word *

“What word? Protect you how? I’ve never seen you before,” Leila replies, her voice hard, seething with anger as her head snaps to Carmela and she’s unable to hold herself back “You did this, didn’t you? You devil.”

Stop trying to blame me for what you did. You hired this man to kill the witch, you attacked Margaux, you may have even had a hand in the death of the head warrfor and you have tried to kill me at least three times. Enough is enou. We no longer want you as our Luna and justice must prevail.

“Yes” The crowd roars yet again.

*Justice, Justice, Justice,” their chants become deafening.

“Only the Alpha has the power to decide who is Luna or not,” Leila replies confidently, raising her voice. “I have no hands in any crime you accuse me of nor do I know this man.

“I want you all to think. I have been your Luna for two years and such has never happened, I have never made trouble once, why would I suddenly start now? What reason would I have?”

Leila desperately tries to appeal to the crowd, she wants them to see, even if it’s just one person. She needs someone to at least take her side.
