Chapter 56

Kelvin gets to Lella before he can and despite the situation, Tatum feels that jealous feeling rise inside of him again.

“I’ll take her,” he says in a low and cold tone to Kelvin, taking Leila from his hands.

“Did she just pretend to faint to get the Alpha’s sympathy?”

“What a pathetic woman.

“That’s enough,” Tatum’s voice is curt. “Whoever disrespects the Luna disrespects the Alpha, now get back to the party, all of you.”

Carmela steps forward, her eyes flushed wit tears, holding a deep sombre look in her eyes..

“Is she going to be okay? Even though she lied against me, I still care about her well-being.”

“Carmela is so kind, goddess bless her soul,” Tracy says in a soft tone, full of awe.

“She is an angel, even to the devil that tries to sabotage her,” Edna adds.

Kelvin seethes at them, seeing their hypocrisy clearly for what it is.

Carmela may have been away in these two years but her minions were around and those videos were clearly taken pre planned.

“Someone invaded Leila’s privacy and acquired those videos,” Kelvin says in a tone loud enough for all to hear.

“And I know that person is right here in this crowd. I’ll give you three days to come to my office, confess your crimes and tell me who your accomplices are. Otherwise get ready to face the full wrath of Atlas legal and the Costner family.”

A rapid hush falls over the murmuring Growd.

The reputation of Allas legal, Kelvin’company precedes them, they have never lost a case and they had army of private investigators who didn’t mind getting their hands dty to sniff out the truth

His family, the Costner were also the richest family in the pack, rumoured to be richer than the Alpha family themselves and they owned half the business in the pack (but the pack’s economy relied upon.

No one dared to say anything and the crowd slowly started to disperse when Clayton stepped forward.

“So because you are a rich and renowned awyer, you think you have the right to defend a criminal? This is not a law court Kelvin Costner, you can’t just threaten anyone

“Knowing her crimes of lying to the pack had been exposed, she falsely accuses Carmela and now pretends to faint? We should waterboard her! There’s no way she won’t wake up from this pretence.”

“The head warrior is right, she is pretending.”

“She should be waterboarded.”

“She must pay for her crimes,”

The crowd gets rowdy again, showing support for Clayton.

Kelvin grits his teeth, clenching his fist by his side, his blue eyes. growing a shade darker as he narrows them at Clayton.

If Lella was not so kind as to let him go for his crimes against her, he will not even have the mouth to speak

What an ungrateful bastard.

“Try it Clayton, I dare you,” Kelvin replies coldly, feeling a flame of anger

burning in his heart.

Tatum takes a deep raspy breath, his eyes flashing red and his Alpha aura blazing hard around him, his voice filled with command.

Did I not say for everyone to return to the party?”

Clayton quickly goes on one knee, bowing to Tatum.

“You are the Alpha and your word is law but you have charged me with a duty and that is to uphold law and order in this pack. My apologies alpha but are you saying the Luna is above the law?” Clayton says, hiding his smirk, glancing at Carmela

Tatum, you are known for being just list to your people,” Adaline who had been silent all through finally speaks up, reaching out to her son to do the right thing.

“Alpha” Clayton says in the same patronising tone.” Maybe we don’t have to be extreme and waterboard her but let the people hear your verdict they demand justice because they have been wronged. We must wake her by all means necessary to hear from her.”

Kelin looks at Tatum who looks aloof, truly confused on what to do and it hurts him that Tatum is even confused about defending his own

“F**k you Clayton, Kelvin growls, lunging at Clayton with a punch but Clayton easily blocks it and hits Kelvin hard in face, sending him to the floor in an instant.

Cleyton chuckles proudly. “Does a puny lawyer like you think he can

take me-

Before Clayton can finish boasting, Kelvin has delivered an uppercut punch to crotch, making Clayton yell in pain and drop to his knees.

Before Clayton can recover, Kelvin grabs a bottle from one of the tables

and smashes it on his head before driving his knee up Clayton’s chin and Clayton gets knocked out cold.

Immediately three pack warriors rush forward and apprehend Kelvin with blood gushing from his broken nose.

“Is there no order in this pack anymore?!” Carmela yells

“How can you brazenly disrespect your Alpha and attack the head warrior of the pack like this. I don’t care who you are, Kelvin Costner, but as the phoenix Luna, I call for you to be banished for your crimes.”

“Yes, Banish him!”

A loúd roar of agreement ripples through the crowd.
