Chapter 202
"Good night Mama," Amara says, kissing Leila's cheeks before she lies on the bed and Leila puts a blanket over her when she gets home that night.
She got Tristan some supplies and they discussed at length about how Tristan could help her prove her innocence with what he knows.
She always knew Amara was special but not this special, a werewolf and a sorceress.
She doesn't know why two goddesses would decide to go against the laws of nature, the very laws of creation to bless a child, her child with both their powers and the fact that Amara now has to live with the knowledge and burden of that from such a young age worries her.
What kind of powers would Amara have? Will it corrupt her like she has heard happen to many sorcerers and sorceresses? And that magical aura around her wolf? Does it grant her wolf some special kind of power or is it just the mere presence of the magic within her? There are so many questions she has that have no answers and many of those answers can only be gotten as Amara grows older and begins to discover and understand her powers.
She shuts the door to Amara's room and leaves, walking down the corridor when Kelvin appears, a placid look on his face.
"I heard you were searching the entire globe for me," Kelvin says, the placid look on his face lighting up slightly with a small smile.
Leila frowns at him, scrunching her nose. "It was the most important day of mom's hearing, where the hell were you?"
"I'm here now and everything went according to plan. It was an emergency, I had to leave. Is there any food in this house? I'm famished," Kelvin replies dismissively and he yawns. "Sure," Leila points ahead and walks behind him as he turns towards the kitchen.
Days pass and life is gradually winding down for Leila and her family. Tatum hasn't shown his face since the day he almost got into it with the Lycan king; neither has Leila heard from Antonio as well. Amara looks fully healed, her mom is free and Kelvin visits more often than he has been in the last few days with the case and all, everything is going back to normal.noveldrama
"Leila, after Trent's trial, what next? Are we going to remain in this pack?" Liana asks, running her fingers through Leila's hair as she prepares to braid it.
Leila stares at the space on the floor between her legs where she is sitting on a small stool in front of her mother who is on a couch behind her, pondering on her mother's questions.
After Trent's trial, she has one more thing left to do, make Carmela pay for everything she has done and then expose her as a fraud but Tatum must already know that Carmela is a fraud.
He knows they are mates, that's for sure, she can feel his wolf's excitement around her just as she is sure that Tatum can feel hers which can only mean that Tatum knows that she is the real phoenix Luna.
She doesn't have any legal crimes to pay him back for what he did to her but denying him what she knows he wants is punishment enough. She will reject and divorce him, sort Carmela out and then leave Blood Qak for good.
"Kelvin, a word?" she says to Kelvin who has Amara on his legs with Tatiana beside him, all three focused on an extreme sports show airing on the TV. "Sure," Kelvin replies, passing Amara to Tatiana.
Kelvin still hasn't told Tatiana how he feels but it is obvious their relationship is slowly progressing.
"I want to make my move against Carmela before she can do anything against me. Right now, she's on the back foot and I have one up against her, Tristan will testify," Leila says in a hushed tone, glancing from the open kitchen at the people in the living room.
She had previously told Kelvin all about Tristan and the things he said. "Do you trust this guy?" Kelvin asks, watching her eyes carefully.
"I don't," Leila admits "but he came to me himself and he has evidence enough to nail Carmela for good. Records of their chats and phone calls. He also knows I'm the real
phoenix wolf and he's willing to help expose them on that too."
Kelvin frowns and heaves a deep sigh before he replies. "Let me talk to this guy myself and go through the evidence myself to see how strong they are for us to make a case against Carmela." "Alright great, we can go there later today."
"No, it's better if I interrogate him myself."
"Well, you know where to find him and there's something I myself must do today."
"What?"
"I need to go to Tatum and reject him."
Her revenge has begun and that is the first step.
