Chapter 174 "In light of new evidence that has appeared, this court hearing will be adjourned by two weeks and we will reconvene at exactly 11am," Judge Bruce slams his gavel.

"All rise," The clerk announces as he leaves and everyone begins to file out.

Trent storms out of the courtroom in fury, muttering curses and Carmela runs after him, reaching him in the corridor of the courtroom.

"Father, wait." "You bloody fool," Trent snarls at her. "I thought you said you and that incapable bastard went through everything that they could use against us today, why didn't you know about the bloody masts?" "I'm sorry, I thought we had it all covered, but don't worry, we will still get them, they're not going to win this," Carmela replies in a petrified tone.

Trent scoffs coldly. "I shouldn't worry?" He grabs her chin and shoves her against the wall, squeezing it painfully, his eyes cold and deadly as he narrows them at her.

"I made a fool of myself today and I don't like making a fool of myself. I've worked too hard and too long to get to where I am today for anyone to ruin it," he lets her go roughly as tears pour down Carmela's eyes but he isn't done.

"My word directly contradicted proven evidence today and if this kind of thing happens again, fingers will start pointing towardsand if that happens, it's over for you as well. You shouldn't have ctowith evidence to frLiana if you didn't have everything covered." He whispers, his voice low but full of palpable rage.

"I'm sorry," Carmela mutters in tears, her heart clenching with pain.

Her father is quick to chastise her but he has everything that he wanted, power, wealth and status while she has nothing but a ring and a phoenix title that the pack members are becoming disenchanted with. Tatum doesn't even love her, despite the fake mate bond and he doesn't hide it. He won't even- Her heart thuds with fear as a thought suddenly comes to her mind.

The evidence she found against Liana was not of her doing, she found it laying on Tatum's office table carelessly that day and she took pictures of it.

Now that she thinks about it, sensitive archived information about the pack's high ranking members are well protected, did Tatum leave it there on purpose for her to see, knowing she would take advantage of it? Is any of it even real? Tatum clearly threatened her the other day, he doesn't love her at all. Did he trick her into doing this because he knows Leila will return to save her mother? Did he use her to lure Leila back? "Wipe those tears off your face. As long as Tatum thinks you are his mate, we have all the protection we need but no mistakes from now on," Trent's voice is calmer this tbut Carmela's gut twists in a stormy mess.

Does Tatum still believe she is his mate? She's not so sure of it. The moment Leila left the pack he stopped showing her any sort of affection.

She cannot tell on her wolf's end because the spell is one sided, only Tatum's wolf is bonded to hers with the fake bond, her wolf cannot feel anything for him, she has no way to be sure.

en "He still does, doesn't he?" Trent's brows furrow at Carmela, noticing her hesitance and the conflict in her eyes. "He does...the wedding date will soon be set," Carmela replies, swallowing air down her throat in trepidation. Tatum hasn't even said anything about the actual wedding, she is the only one doing everything she can to keep the news on everyone's lips to try and force his hand.

"Good, keep taking the medicine, we'll kill the bitch after we send her mother to jail," Trent replies and walks away from her.

As he leaves, Carmela sees Leila staring at her with a victorious smirk on Leila's face and she almost flips in rage.

"What the fuck are you looking at?!"

The smirk on Leila's face morphs into a thin smile before she takes Kelvin's hand and is about to leave the building when Carmela yells again. "We haven't forgotten that you killed the pack witch, you murderer! After your mother, you're next!" "Leila don't-"

Before Kelvin can stop Leila, she is already walking towards Carmela but there is no sign oflanger or annoyance on Leila's face, rather a smug smile. "You know what I see when I look at

you Carmela? A mouse, caught in a trap, knowing it has no way out, so all it can do is squeal and Squealand squeal, hoping someone will cto rescue it but that is foolish of the mouse because the cat, no, the phoenix is on the prowl and she'll get you, just you wait," Leila says in a low tone, almost like a whisper, her face rid of any form of hostility.
