Chapter 117
Leila makes her way home without Tatur, Clayton offers to escort her but ahe declines, saying she needs to be alone.
Clayton on the other hand is unable to shake the feeling in his heart,
something about the ritual was awkward, it all seems fishy.
He waits by the door as the elders congratulate Carmela and Tatum and leave. one after the other.
Trent is the last one to leave and as Tatum and Carmela approach him, hand in hand, he steps up to them.
“With your permission Alpha, I need to have a word with Carmela, it is regarding the assassination attempt,” he says, bowing slightly to Tatum.
Tatum’s brows furrow and his eyes narrow at Clayton,
“You really need to work on your timing,” Tatum replies, annoyance clear in his tone and he pulls Carmela away from Clayton.
“Alpha, the Luna’s life and honour is at stake and I am under sworn oath to protect her. This is an emergency and I will only take a short while,” Clayton replies firmly.
A deep rumbling growl sounds from Tatum’s throat as he turns to face Clayton but before he can speak, Carmela places her hand on his chest, her other hand cups his face and she stares at him with love and admiration in her emerald eyes.
“It’s okay baby, let me see what this is about, justice must prevail, I’ll meet you. in the car,” Carmela says in a coquettish tone.
“Very well,” Tatum replies and leaves succinctly.
Carmela catwalks nimbly to Clayton, a victorious smirk on her lips. “You didn’t congratulate me, is there a problem?”
“Should there be one?” Clayton asks coldly, his eyes narrow at her with a distrustful scrutiny.
“Oh come on Clayton, don’t tell me spending some time with that bitch makes you feel some kind of pity for her,” Carmela replies airily with a chuckle of mockery.
“You will do well to address the Luna properly.”
