Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119

“What do you mean the head warrior is dead?”

Leila feels a squeeze in her heart and her eyes coat with tears as one of the omegas tells her the news as they prepare dinner.

Clayton looked hale and hearty this morning.

Was he ill?

He didn’t look like it, he didn’t show any signs, how could he suddenly be dead?

“When was this?” Leila asks in a sullen tone, feeling a sense of defeat come upon her.

How is she supposed to clear her name without Clayton to help her with the investigations?

“It was announced as breaking news this evening, his body was found laying in the elders chamber,” the omega replies.

The elders chamber…. it must have happened after she left but was no one there to help him?

Leila backs against the countertop, placing her hand on her chest, taking deep breaths to calm herself from the shocking news.

She feels some regret.

Maybe if she had allowed him to follow her as he wanted, she could have saved him if it happened in front of her.

“Finish up here,” she says to the omega weakly, taking off her apron and tossing it to the floor.

Her legs are being cut out from under her.

How does she get help now?

Aside from that, the pack’s witch and the head warrior are both dead in the space of forty eight hours, so the pack members will want an answer.

The death of two high ranking individuals of the pack in quick succession, it will be seen as a bad omen and she has already been accused of killing the witch and everyone knows she spends a lot of time with Clayton lately between her duties.

As she steps out of the kitchon into the living room, Tatum enters the house and Lella freezes, watching him blankly, her heart pounding slowly.

Tatum mirrors her stare, his eyes holding a distant look, his feet rooted to the floor and between their silence, a lot is going on in their minds.

“You are forbidden from leaving the house till I say otherwise, all these deaths flying around, I’m not comfortable with it, Tatum says in a curt tone, almost whispering.
