Leila's POV:
I didn't want Drake to leave me, but I understood that he had his own responsibilities. So when he left me at the pack healer's place, I didn't complain. The healer, a sweet lady in her mid-thirties, stayed with me, keeping me company with light conversation. It helped distract me from the incident with Raphael, if only for a little while. But deep down, I knew Drake was becoming more suspicious of me, and I had to find a way to keep my secret safe.
As the evening wore on, Nelly showed up. "I came to see you. The baby has been taking all my attention," she said with a smile. "I've really missed you, but I can't just leave the poor pup. He's so adorable, considering the bitch that bore him. I still can't believe Lily left him all alone. Who does that? Who leaves a newborn baby without even caring who'll take care of him?"
