Pregnant I left him To His First Love

Four days have passed since Tatum came bearing gifts but everyday for those four days, Leia finds herself staring at the house opposite her whenever she comes out from or goes into her house, wondering when he's going to spring up on her again but fortunately he has never shown up. She really doesn't want to see him again and hopes he will take the hint and stay away from her and their child, no. Her child.

"Mama, why can't I go with you?" Amara asks Leila as Leila touches her face with some light makeup at her dresser.

It's the first day of her mother's case in court and she cannot take Amara with her. Three days ago, her mother was moved from house arrest and placed under custody.

She wants to think Tatum has nothing to do with it but then, it's his pack that has accused an innocent woman of murdering her mate and husband.

"Because....kids are not allowed where we are going," Kelvin answers from behind Leila, sitting on her bed and going through his files.

Amara frowns. "Well, can I go to the playground?"

Leila pauses, dropping her brush on the dresser and she turns to Amara fully. It's the umpteenth time that Amara is mentioning going to the playground, specifically so she can see Tatum and she feels very uncomfortable with the idea. "Your Aunty Amanda is on her way here, you guys can have all the fun you want, you miss her, don't you?" She says with a patronising smile.

"Cool," Amara replies, "Aunty Amanda will take me to the playground. I know Uncle Alpha will be there, the three of us will have fun and I haven't thanked him for my doll house."

Kelvin looks at Leila with curiosity through the mirror, his eyes asking the questions his lips don't. Leila turns and looks at him sullenly, shrugging.

Even though it's been days since Tatum left the dollhouse outside their door, Amara has been asking to see him again, demanding that she be taken to the playground or allowed to visit him next door.

She doesn't know if it is the father-daughter bond between an Alpha and his pup but what she does know is that she doesn't want her child to grow fond of Tatum.

She hates that she has to keep her away from her father but he is not her father and will never be, he already lost that right, besides Tatum is getting married to Carmela, what is the need of allowing Amara to bond with him?

There is no way on earth that she will let her child anywhere near that couple, the thought repulses her as much as it scares her.

"That is left for Aunty Amara to decide," Leila replies calmly, making a mental note to tell Amanda not to agree to take her to the playground.

Tatum probably already suspects that Amara is his daughter and if she allows them to spend time together, it won't be long before he or Amara figures it out.

What if he decides to lay claim to Amara, to take her daughter away from her?

There was a time she would think he cannot be that cruel but she has seen the height of his cruelty and she doesn't want to find out just how high it can actually get. Amara is her life, her hope and her strength and if Tatum tries to take her away from her, she will fight him with everything that she has.

Perhaps she should ask Amanda to

take Amara back with her to her new pack and she can visit them

intermittently until her mother's case that way, this longing that

is over

Amara seems to have for Tatum will stop and she will feel safe about Tatum taking her child. noveldrama

Yes, that is what she will do.

As they walk down the stairs to the living room, with Amara on Kelvin's shoulder, her phone chimes and she takes it out. [Sorry girl, can't make it, work emergency. My regards to the little munchkin and goodluck with the case. *Three heart emojis*] Leila sighs disappointedly, frowns and slides her phone into her bag. Who else can she contact to help look after Amara?

The doorbell chimes and Leila takes

out her phone to check who it is from the CCTV, Amara stretches her neck from Kelvin's shoulder where he has her and she sees that it is Tatum.

She jumps down before Leila can even say anything, bolts towards the door, opens it and jumps into Tatum's arms.

"Uncle Alpha, I've missed you," she says cheerily and Tatum smiles broadly.

"I missed you too and don't worry, soon, your mama and I will be friends and we can spend a lot of time together." "What are you doing here?" Leila asks coldly, snapping his attention to her.

He has to stop springing up on her unannounced, she doesn't like the apprehension he gives her heart whenever she sees him and her wolf doesn't make it any easier with her constant yearning.

"I thought you might need someone to babysit," Tatum replies, smiling at her.
