Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 2

The doctors didn’t find anything wrong with Carmela except a few bruises, but Tatum insisted on her being hospitalised for the best care with a full bodycheck. Leila spends all the time she can squeeze out visiting Carmela.

The whispers about her have gotten louder than ever now that Carmela has returned, with everyone asking, when will Alpha Tatum make Carmela his Luna?

The question is not if he will but when he will. Everyone in the pack is so certain of it.

As for Leila, she pretends not to hear these gossips, she tries not to think about it. She is just happy that her long-lost best friend who saved her has returned but the happiness is not a full one.

Leila knows the truth in her heart and it is the pain that comes with it that makes her still live in denial.

Alpha Tatum has tirelessly spent the last two years looking for his lost love and now that he found her, it was only a matter of time before she got the axe of rejection and let his rightful woman take her place.

She knew she stole the time with him and she was okay with that. But the baby? The baby really came at the worst timing...

“I can’t believe you went through all that Carmi, thank the goddess for the power of true love, what would have happened if the Alpha hadn’t found you?” Tracy, one of Carmela’s old friends in the pack says to her.

Carmela is lying down in her hospital bed with her feet stretched on Leila’s lap while two other women, Tracy and Edna sit by her side.

“Of course he will!” Edna laughs with Tracy as if Leila is not present, “He found Carmi as his mate that night, remember?! The mate bond would guide him!”

Tracy’s words make Leila’s heart pound with a pang but she keeps a straight face.

“Right on! The mate bond is sacred!,” Edna snorts a reply, sneering in Leila’s direction all but pointing fingers in her face, “...not something that can be easily stolen!”

Leila’s eyelashes quiver and she looks up calmly. Carmela pats her friend on the wrist lightly, giving Leila an apologising smile. Leila gives her a bitter smile in return, shaking her head slowly.

In the past two years, these women said worse things.

“The Alpha found Leila as his second chance mate, so please drop it about me being the Alpha’s mate, okay? It would put him in an awkward position.” Carmela says with a graceful but sad smile, sighing lightly, “I missed my chance…”

Her words were like oil, and the flames of her friends’ fury exploded.

Carmela gasps, putting her hands over her mouth to feign shock.

“No guys… I have no intention of becoming Lu-”

She fakes a violent cough, not to finish her statement and points at the water dispenser in the corner of the room.

Leila quickly rushes over to the dispenser and returns with a glass of water for Carmela.

Carmela sits up and reaches over, but the glass falls through her fingers and shatters with the water spilling everywhere.

“What are you doing?!,” Edna retorts at Leila. “Can you not get anything right at all? What if you spill the hot water on Carmi?!”

“Don’t just stand there like a dunce, get something to clean this mess, make yourself useful for once,” Tracy barks at Leila as well.

Leila grits her teeth at their disrespect, feeling the rage to remind them of her position.
