"I'm sure you do. Now, how about we go make scold drinks and let the man work?" Carmela's straight face lights up with a beaming smile as she replies, glancing at Tatum but Leila is too uncomfortable.
What else does Carmela know? Is her secret still safe? What if she tells it to the other pack members? The consequences will be too dire for her. The pack members will blher for Tatum's actions just like they did when Carmela disappeared. Fear, worry and anxiety all flood her heart at the stand she stands up abruptly, feeling too self conscious and shameful in front of Carmela.

Leila gulps, becoming more worried at the tone of Carmela's voice. She was probably overthinking it but she just didn't feel good being in her presence anymore.
"I have to see a friend, it's urgent," She replies but this friend is not just any friend, he is also a divorce lawyer. "Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming," Kelvin Costner says with a coy smile, the moment Leila walks into his office.
Leila walks over to him, not taking her seat but actually pinching his arm, holding it for sseconds before she chuckles.
"Real enough for you?" She cocks a brow and finally sits down.
A sense of calm suddenly fills Leila, seeing Kelvin's smile. It's been ages since she last saw him but she knows even decades apart, Kelvin will always welcher.
Leila and Kelvin grew up as neighbours from the tthat they were kids but they never really grew close until Leila's fall out with Carmela and her gang. She started to spend more twith the neighbour's weird nerd kid who, like her, had a passion for reading. Their friendship developed from there and they formed a strong bond over the years.
Kelvin chuckles, shaking his head at her.

"No," Kelvin says in a curt voice, pointing his index finger towards her. "She got married" to the alpha and I suddenly didn't exist to her anymore." Even if Kelvin's voice sounds light hearted, Leila can hear the subtle pain in them, she did neglect him but it wasn't entirely her fault.
After Tatum married her, things happened so fast, all she had tfor was her duties as Luna and since she wasn't very popular among the pack members, she adopted a stoic state of doing her job without minding them so much, unfortunately, she also classed him into that category.
"Hey! Get that sorry look off your face, it's the first tI'm seeing you in a long time, let's celebrate," Kelvin says, opening his arms up with a broad smile and Leila spots the burn scars covering his forearm as his sleeves stretch.
Kelvin notices it and rolls up his sleeves, smirking at her.
"Yeah....I call these the mate repellent and it's all your fault," He says, chuckling and shoving his arm in her face.
