Chapter 89

Kelvin bites down on a piece of wood as he stitches himself up. For some reason he isn’t healing and his strength fails him by the minute.

He cannot die, he must get home and give it to her and when he does, he will tell her how he really feels. He will finally let this burden that he has carried in his chest for over a decade out

He hears the sound of rattling outside and he leaves the needle in his broken skin, taking deep quiet breaths to silent his heartbeat as much as possible.

He thought he had lost his pursuers, as he made his way to this old abandoned garage, he covered his blood trail and footprints as much as possible, he even used a scent blocker.

What kind of excellent tracker did they use to replace him?

“Costner, I know you are in here.”

Kelvin’s eyes fly wide open, his heart breaks its slow rhythmic beats and thuds faster.

“Tatum?” He mutters to himself in shock. “What is he doing here? How did he replace me?*

“Are yo

you going to f*g come out so I can get out of here if are you gonna keep hiding like a f*g c**ward?”

Tatum’s insult stings him and he comes out from behind the crates where he is hiding, leaping on one leg, a slash across his forehead, wrapped with a bandage and blood drips from a wound on his torso with a needle stuck in it.

“I’m no f**king coward,” he replies Tatum coldly.

“I couldn’t f***ng care less, Tatum replies impassively, tossing a vial

at him. “Drink this, it’ll fix your healing in time. Can you walk?”

Kelvin catches the vial and stares at if suspiciously.

“What are you doing here, how did you replace me?”

Tatum frowns at him. Left to him, he wishes he never founds Kelvin but it’s what Leila f*g **ants and he just cannot say no to her, no matter hard he tries.

“Drink the d***n thing and let’s get the hell out of here.”

“Thank you for the juice but I can replace my way home.”

“What home? Have you forgotten you are banished?”

Kelvin scoffs and a smirk appears on her lips.

“It’s a good thing I’m a lawyer, the penance of my crime is a huge fine. and a whipping, you were unfair in your decree and I’ll contest it,” Kelvin winced.

Tatum grits his teeth and sneers at Kelvin. “Contest it? You must have a death wish.”

“If death is the price I have to pay to return home and give Leila the cure to her wolf, then I will gladly give my life,” Kelvin replies and the tone of his voice is enough for Tatum to know that this is man ready to face death for Leila’s sake.

Wait, did he just say he has the cure to Leila’s wolf? Tatum’s mouth falls slightly open in shock, he cannot believe the amount of relief that

courses through him.

He thought all hope was lost for her to get her wolf again.

He takes slow calculated steps towards Kelvin who holds his ground, cold steely eyes matching Tatum’s grey inquisitive ones.

“Where is it?”

* 26 BONUS

Tatum’s voice almost sounds like a growl.

“Somewhere only I can replace it.”

Tatum’s shock quickly turns into annoyance.

“Don’t f**g play games with me Costner, where is it?” Tatum growls, his aura suppressing Kelvin, his alpha command bleeding through hist

Since he never officially pronounced a banishment on Kelvin, he is still bonded to Kelvin as his Alpha and it is impossible for Kelvin to resist. his command.

To his utmost surprise however, Kelvin doesn’t yield, rather his jaw. tightens and he shuts his eyes, Tatum quickly grabs Kelvin’s jaw and squeezes his mouth open, forcing his teeth apart.

His shock is palpable, Kelvin was really going to bite his tongue out. rather than obey his command because of Leila?

Does he love her that much?

He obviously does, he risked his life to replace her the cure. He is deep in enemy territory, the same place where he had come to get the dry. scorpion lily.

Is this why Leila cannot let Kelvin go? Is this the kind of love they share? One that is death defying? One that he would lose his tongue and defy his Alpha for?

A deep sense of worry fills Tatum, will he eventually lose Leila to Kelvin?

He lets Kelvin go roughly, reigning in his aura, glaring at the man but Kelvin’s next words knock the air out of him.

“Leila is my mate. I sensed her that night before she lost her wolf and I will give her the cure to prove it.”
