Pregnant I left him To His First Love

After signing the necessary papers for her mother's release with Bass and her mother, Leila tries to mindlink Kelvin again for the umpteenth time but she cannot reach him still.

Did he have an emergency that took him far away from the pack? He would have said something if that was the case, he wouldn't just leave her in the blind and worried. "Leila, are you okay?" Liana asks, seeing the gloom in Leila's eyes.

Leila sighs deeply, rubbing the side of Liana's arm with a wry smile on her lips. "I'm fine. Bass, do you think any one in the office might know his whereabouts?"

"I cannot say for sure but you can always go ask, he might have left a note or something, we both majorly worked on the case from his apartment and I know for sure he's not there, so office might be the best bet. "Mom, I'll call Amanda to come take you home with Amara. I'll go with Bass to the office to figure out Kev's absence, something about it is off, it's just so unlike him."

"Thank you sweetheart but do not trouble Amanda for my sake, I can find my way home," Liana replies.

The first person Leila sees as she steps into Kelvin's office is Tatiana, dishing out instructions to two paralegals, clearly pissed at them.

Kelvin's new office is not as big or as extravagant as his old one, it is just two adjoining rooms, the first one for his paralegals and junior lawyers and the other she imagines will be for him and his assistant. Tatiana turns to face her and a big smile, the scowl on her face just moments ago dissipating.

"Hi, congratulations on your mother's victory," Tatiana says in a cheery tone, her cat eyes glinting with glee.

"Thank you," Leila replies. "Do you know where Kelvin is? He didn't show up in court today."

Tatiana freezes for a moment, in thought. "He did mention he'd have a busy week but he really didn't get into details of it."

"Oh, I see," Leila replies, feeling a bit relieved and she glances around the office. "Great job you are doing here, it's nice to know he has someone like you to look after things when he's gone."

Tatiana smiles. "I just do my job. Do you want something to drink? We don't keep the strong stuff around here, so maybe tea or soda?"

"No, I'm good. I just came to check on him, you take care," Leila replies, turning away when Tatiana holds her back.

"If you're not in a hurry, I need your advice on something."noveldrama

"My advice?" Leila squints.

What possible advice could Tatiana want from her, they are not even that close.

"Yes, please," Tatiana guides her into the inner office and they both sit on the couch.

"It's about Kelvin. You're his closest friend and you've known him for longer than I have. You know his birthday is coming up in a few weeks.

Tand some guys in the office

are planning to throw him a surprise party. Do you think that's something he would appreciate?"

Leila doesn't reply immediately, she just watches Tatiana with a slightly scrutinous gaze. If she isn't wrong, it's barely been a month since Kelvin met her and she is already planning surprise parties for him. She saw how happy Kelvin was around Tatiana and just outside, moments ago, she watched Tatiana take

charge handling business on

Kelvin's behalf.

She's exactly the kind of woman Kelvin needs, someone beautiful yet strong, someone who can hold down the fort in his absence, someone who cares about him enough to plan surprises for him.

Kelvin mentioned that his wolf gets

excited around her but he cannot tell if she is his mate or not, not unless they are together during a celestial event Only on such days can a werewolf feel the matebond for another creature outside its species.

"Amara and I are also planning a surprise, we should collaborate and yes, that fucker has no friends so he would appreciate us throwing him a surprise party," Leila replies with a chuckle. Tatiana smiles with a sigh of relief. "Your silence had me worried for a second there. So how do we go about it?"

Leila spends the next two hours chatting about planning the party with Tatiana amongst other things like their common love for emeralds and jades, fashion interests and gender inequality until she leaves. She's about to get into her car when someone runs at her. She quickly moves out of the way, shifting her arm into her silvery white paw, claws ready to strike when the man goes on his knees. "Help me, please."

Leila freezes in shock, her heart pounding in rage.

She recognises this man, he's the assassin who lied against her that she hired him to kill the pack witch.
