Chapter 104

“You insolent little twat! Do you have any idea of the sacrifices that were made to put you in this position?” Trent, Carmela’s father, barks at her. “I thought you said Tatum loves you, that it will be enough for you to take his side as Luna.”

Carmela keeps her eyes on the floor, her body vibrating with a soft tremor as she kneels, taking in the bearting words of her father.

Trent leans forward from his chair and places the burning edge of his cigar on her shoulder but Carmela does not dare to move despite the searing of her skin as her cloth melts against it, she does not want to incur his wrath past a verbal extent.

“Forgive me sir, I can still fix this,” Carmela replies in a monotonous tone.

Her father does not care about emotions, only abit results and as far as he is concerned, Carmela is failing him.

“Do not be deceived by this tattoo on your neck,” Trent replies, yanking her dress from the shoulder down to reveal the mark of the phoenix on the joint of her neck and shoulder.

“That thing is only a symbol and as long as Leila is alive, Tatum will always feel the pull to her whether she has her wolf or not, she is the real phoenix Luna and the powers of her wolf is nothing you and I can comprehend.

“There is only one solution and I should have done it years ago, Leila needs to die. Listening to your foolish whims put us in this position and now you cannot even finish the job. How pathetic.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ten years ago, by chance, Trent found out what the mark of the phoenix Lunal would look like and he dug further into the prophecy, watching the signs and ultimately discovered that Leila was going to be the phoenix Luna.

Her aura was very strong for a young girl of her age, almost on par with that of some young alpha pups, even right now without her being able to feel her wolf, her aura is still very strong.

She was loved by everyone and she always had people willing to serve her and she loved serving people but above all, the tenth son in the line of Alpha

Cassius as the prophecy described, could not tear himself away from Lella.

Tatum was like a glue stuck to Leila and while everyone thought it was childish friendship, only he saw it for what it truly was, the signs of the prophecy yet to be fulfilled.

The day he killed Leila’s father, he planned to kill all of them but unfortunately, Leila didn’t make the trip and without the element of surprise, he could not easily take down Liana because he was also severely wounded by Leila’s father before he could kill him.

On the night that he gave Carmela the tattoo, he also wanted to kill Leila, he had drugged her and slashed her wrist when Carmela appeared and slashed her own wrist, begging her father not to kill Leila, assuring him that she will do anything to win Tatum’s heart and drive him and Leila apart as long as he spared Leila.

On the night Leila shifted, Carmela was monito..ng her and the power, size and aura of Leila’s wolf confirmed their greatest fears. She quickly flung into action, inviting Leila over so they could get ready for their party together, but her real mission was to poison Leila’s wolf and since the whole pack already believed her as the phoenix Luna, she needed to go into hiding for a while but not before setting things in motion for Leila to be accused of her demise and hated by the pack members.

What she did not see coming was that Tatum was still going to go ahead and marry Leila regardless. Her plan was to return after a while and marry Tatum, using the excuse of a wounded and tortured wolf as why their wolves couldn’t feel each other but Leila just had to still be in the picture.

“Leila now wears a protective charm, it is impossible to hurt her or the bastard. in her womb but I have devised other means,” Carmela replies, her eyes still

fixed on the floor.

Trent grunts. “That is no excuse for you to have killed Bobby. We will always need someone to do the dirty job.”

“Then we will get another person. The world is short of rogues and criminals, Bobby was becoming a liability and he had to go. If he was caught, it would have ruined everything. He was a rogue, his loyalty is to his coin, not to our family.”

Trent sneers but he doesn’t say anything and Carmela knows he agrees. She crawls forward on her knees and rests her head on his thigh.

“Have a little faith in me, father. I have the perfect plan to get her out of the way. This time, she won’t be so lucky.”
