Chapter 169 After leaving her rented Condo where she just had sex with Matt, Carmela makes her way to the old Alpha's house where Tatum has been staying when he is not in the packhouse. "Luna," one of the omegas cleaning in the living room bows as she enters.
"And when did she becyour Luna?" Adaline's curt voice fills the air as she appears with a cold face. "Mother," Carmela says in a cheery tone with a half smile.
"Your mother is dead. I am not her and why the hell are you here?" Adaline replies coldly, eyes narrow in palpable annoyance.
Carmela gulps and the cheer vanishes from her face. This has been her lot for a couple of years now. In the beginning Adaline supported her but after it becclear that Tatum has no interest in her, the woman turned into an iceberg. "I'm here to see Tatum," Carmela replies in a wry tone, avoiding Adaline's harsh gaze. Adaline scoffs, an angry pout on her lips.

Carmela makes a beeline up the stairs, fighting back her tears. Everyone is blaming her like it's her fault Tatum won't even look at her, she is trying her best, no one knows what lengths she has gone to to make him take her but he just seems to be immune to it all. She knocks twice and opens the door to his room and Tatum turns to her with a cold look that freezes her steps.
"Have I not warned you not to chere without permission?" A huge lump travels slowly down Carmela's throat as a chill rents her spine from spite and ice in Tatum's voice.
"I miss you," she pouts, making puppy eyes as she regains herself. "I was thinking since we will be getting married soon, we should spend more ttogether." Tatum scratches his brow, the look in his eyes showing his irritation as he replies without hesitation. "My tis more valuable spent doing other things than spending it with you. Leave." "Tatum!" Carmela stamps her feet on the floor, "I'm supposed to be your fiancee, why are you treatinglike this?" This is how his attitude has always been towards her, cold and soulless. How did Leila even manage when he would treat Leila like this for her sake, she cannot stand it.
Sometimes she just wants to drop everything and forget about him but the power that comes with being Luna, the respect that people accord her when they see her, she cannot just abandon that, it feels good to be admired and honoured wherever she goes.
Tatum is her only ticket to such a life and whether he likes it or not, they are stuck together. She shouldn't even be trying this much, the medicine should be amplifying the bond and doing all the work for her but despite the strong doses, Tatum remains docile towards her.
"Take it elsewhere, I don't need this bullshit right now and don't fucking callby name, I thought I made that clear," Tatum slams the book he is reading on the desk. "Get out of my room." Carmela's eyes brim with tears, pain shredding her heart from Tatum's harsh words and dismissal. She doesn't know if it is hatred or disgust she sees in his eyes or both but it is definitely not love or even lust or even care, not an ounce of attraction are in those dead grey eyes of his.
"Tatum please," Carmela says in a sullen tone, tears streaming down her eyes. "I am your mate, the goddess made us for each other why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong? I have done nothing but love you unconditionally, I don't deserve this." Tatum clenches his fist at her utterance, his eyes flashing red as his wolf rips forward, filling him with rage but he stays in control before his wolf does something like rip Carmela's throat apart.
They both hate her, man and wolf, she cost one the love of his life and the other his fated mate.

That day in the elder's chamber when he felt the bond for her, it didn't put a dent on his love for Lella which is not supposed to be the case, even his wolf was not over the moon. It made him suspicious of the whole thing but he played along and stuck to his plan.
Something was afoot, he knew.
The pack witch died and then a new witch cfrom nowhere, Clayton suddenly died after he left him with Carmela, he couldn't risk Leila's life afterwards, he had to protect her. "TellCarmela, how far gone is your pregnancy? You told Leila you're pregnant, right?" he says with a cold.
