Pregnant I left him To His First Love

After Trent is dragged out of the court, Judge Bruce clears his throat, leaning closer to his mic.

"After listening to all relevant testimonies and taking into account useful evidence, the court has reached a verdict. Liana Rogers," Judge Bruce pauses and Liana, Bass and Leila all stand up to hear the verdict of the judge.

"On the charge of murder, the court finds the accused...not guilty and on the charge of conspiracy to commit murder, the court also finds the accused not guilty. The accused is hereby acquitted of any charges against her and is free to roam and live as a bonafide member of the blood oak pack within all her rights. This Court case is adjourned," Judge Bruce continues and slams his gavel.

Leila heaves a deep sigh of relief as Liana rushes her in a hug and Leila smiles but the smile barely reaches her eyes.

Kelvin's absence still worries and upsets her.

This is his victory, none of this would have been possible without him. He should be here, where the hell could he be?

Leila is leaving the court building when she sees Carmela walking up to her and she frowns, halting her steps.

Tatiana mentioned that whoever placed the curse on Amara was in close proximity with her and there is nobody Leila suspects more than Carmela, only, she has no proof but it doesn't really matter.

Trent has been arrested and soon he'll be charged to court with the murder of her father. Once he is sentenced for his crime, Carmela will be next.

"What do you want this time Carmela? Here to whine about how daddy is finally getting what he deserves?" Leila asks with a coy smile on her lips.

Carmela scoffs. "You can wipe that smile off your face Leila because once all of this is done, you're going on that witness stand for killing the pack witch, you murderer."

Leila grits her teeth, an angry storm swirling in her gut.noveldrama

"We both know I didn't kill anyone. I'm the real phoenix, you're just an impostor. If anyone wanted the Pack witch dead, it would be you."

Carmela smirks at her amusingly. If only Leila knows what she has planned for her. She found out that the man that came to kill Tristan is the Lycan king and he has promised to help her take care of her little problem involving Leila.

He spared Tristan's life at her behest, even if he never revealed why he was there to kill Tristan in the first place. Tristan is a criminal, perhaps he had done something in the past to annoy the king.

All that matters now is that she has the most powerful man in the realm backing her. Leila will not survive it.

"How would you even prove that you are the real one, eh? Where's your phoenix mark? If you need a tattoo like mine, I know a few people who can help you," Carmela replies snarkily.

"What if I already have it? What if I just keep it concealed, waiting for the perfect time to let the people see the difference between the ink of the goddess and the ink of some con tattoo artist?" Leila replies with a sly smirk. Carmela parts her lips to reply but she can't find the words.

Her father knew of the mark and took advantage of it and put it on her from a young age to quickly buy the loyalty of the people but the prophecy never stated how or when the mark would appear on the phoenix Luna. Could Leila be telling the truth or is she just bluffing?

"Carmela, if I were you, I'd call my fiancé to get my dad out of prison, get the charges against him dropped, after all he's the Alpha but we both know that's not gonna happen is it," Leila flicks her brows provocatively, "little trouble in paradise?"

Carmela grits her teeth, her gaze on Leila hard as her nose flares. She hates how bold and daring Leila has now become and she knows better than to try and do Leila any harm, the bitch has grown too fucking strong. "Mark my words Leila, when all of this business is said and done, it'll be me on top and you in the fucking grave," She snarls.

Leila smiles amusingly, completely

unaffected by Carmela's threat. "You already had your shot girl and you failed to do so. It's my turn now and I'm going to prove you're nothing but a low life fraud just before I take that low life of yours."

"We'll see about that."

"Yes we will Carmela, we will," Leila scoffs and walks away from her.
