# Chapter 224: A Heart Divided
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today, we step back into the world of Leila, Tatum, and the missing piece of her heart—Kelvin. Chapter 224 is an emotional rollercoaster, a quiet ride filled with heavy silences, unspoken regrets, and a tempting offer that threatens to rewrite everything. So buckle up, because this chapter will leave you both hopeful and uneasy.
The evening sky painted itself in shades of amber and violet as Tatum's car hummed along the quiet road. Leila sat in the passenger seat, her gaze flickering toward him every few seconds while his eyes remained fixed firmly on the road ahead. There was a time when sitting this close to him felt like second nature; now it felt like walking a tightrope above a pit of memories. Trusting him was a risk—the kind of risk that had burned her before. Yet, something deep inside her whispered that, this time, he was safe. Maybe it was the way he had voluntarily offered to testify for her. As the Alpha of the pack, his word carried weight. It could tip the scales in her favor even when hard proof was elusive. That was the real advantage he brought, and she knew it.
But as comforting as Tatum's presence was, her heart kept racing back to one name: Kelvin. She replayed the cruel words she had thrown at him—words she never meant to be harmful. She had tried to warn him, to protect him from love's illusions, but the delivery had been clumsy, sharp, and unfair. He had finally found love after so many years of solitude, and she had picked that exact moment to plant seeds of doubt in his heart. She deserved his silence. She deserved his cold shoulder.
Still, hope is stubborn. She pulled out her phone and called him. Nothing. She tried again. Voicemail. She attempted to mindlink him, but the connection remained eerily dead. In the past, he had simply blocked her. Now? The void felt much more frightening. A sinking feeling settled in her stomach. *Did he leave the pack again? Is he in danger?* No amount of self-blame could quiet that fear.
“Alright,” Tatum said suddenly, guiding the car to the side of the road. He turned to her with that familiar, patient expression she remembered from years ago. “I know I'm not your favourite car partner, but that's not why you have that look on your face. What is it?”
“Nothing,” Leila replied lazily, her voice drained of all fire. “Just take me home.”
It was an odd feeling, being cold to him when he was literally going out of his way for her. But she simply didn't have the strength to behave otherwise. Kelvin was her anchor amidst all this madness, and now she had managed to push him away with careless words.
“Is it Costner? I noticed he was missing today,” Tatum observed, watching her carefully. “I want to help if I can. Stop shutting me out.”
“Well, you can't,” she snapped, half-sneering. “Just take me home, Tatum.”
What could he possibly say to Kelvin that she hadn't already said in her endless stream of texts and calls? She felt foolish. Their relationship had shrunk to something formal—Alpha and pack member. Her personal life was none of his business.
Tatum seemed to sense the wall she had built. He didn't push, but he also didn't retreat. Instead, he lightened the mood with a softer subject. “I never said thanks to you for visiting Dad. The doctors said his body is fighting back the disease better than it has been in years. Maybe the Phoenix Luna has some healing powers.” He offered her a small, genuine smile and restarted the car.
“Why did you do it?” Leila asked, the question slipping out before she could stop it. She looked at him, remembering the violent moment when he had stabbed himself to stop himself. “That day. You stabbed yourself.”
A sly grin curled at the corner of his lips. “Because I prefer when you beg me to fuck you?” He flicked his brows at her, a coy, teasing look on his face.
Leila hissed. “When did I ever?”
“Really?” Tatum made a face, pretending to be wounded.
“Just drive,” she muttered, looking out the window.
But he wouldn't let it go. “Seriously, Leila. Just tell me what's going on. Even if I can't help, I can be a listening ear.”
And finally, the dam broke. She sighed, heavy and defeated. “I can't reach Kelvin. He won't take my calls or reply to my texts. And now I can't even mindlink him. We had a little fight.”
“You want me to find him for you?”
“No, I can't ask you to do that.”
It was true. He was already offering to take the stand as her witness at the trial. That alone made her feel indebted. Asking him to track down Kelvin would only deepen that debt. But worry gnawed at her from the inside. What if Kelvin wasn't ignoring her out of anger? What if something terrible had happened to him?
Tatum, ever perceptive, tried to lighten the dark cloud again. “I remember my wife going crazy the last time her friend went missing. Who's this woman?” He chuckled, nudging her slightly.
Leila frowned, remembering the guilt she had carried that day. “Seriously, Tatum. Don't.”
He straightened, and his tone turned firm. “I'll find him for you. He's also a member of my pack. His safety matters to me.” With that, he finally pressed the accelerator, and the car glided forward.
Leila sat in silence, thinking about the Alpha beside her. He had always put his people first. At heart, he was a good man, a good leader. It was simply tragic that their story had been destined to end the way it did.
Minutes passed, and then a practical fear surfaced. “The trial is the day after tomorrow. What if you're not back in time?”
“Whether I find him by then or not, I will make it back for the trial,” Tatum promised. But then his voice shifted, softer, almost vulnerable. “But I want to ask you, Leila. If I find him—will you go on a date with me? I won your heart once, when we were kids, before the prophecy, before everything. Give me a chance to win it again, as adults. A new slate. A new beginning?”
Leila's breath caught. The weight of his question hung in the air between them, heavy and uncertain. A new beginning? Could she even imagine such a thing while Kelvin was missing, while her heart was torn in two? The car hummed on, and the silence became its own answer—waiting for her to decide.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh, what a deliciously tense chapter! I love how the story balances old flames and new fears. Tatum's offer is bold and charming, but you can't help but worry for Kelvin. The emotional conflict in Leila is beautifully portrayed—guilt, worry, confusion, and a flicker of old warmth. And that cliffhanger of a question at the end? Absolutely nerve-wracking! This chapter made my heart race from start to finish, and I genuinely don't know which path I want Leila to take. That's excellent storytelling.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict the next chapter will follow Tatum's search for Kelvin. Tatum will likely find him—but during their conversation, some deep revelation about Kelvin's feelings or past may surface. Perhaps Kelvin will return just in time for the trial, only to see Leila with Tatum, intensifying the love triangle. Or maybe Tatum's promise to get Leila on a date will force her to confront whether her future truly lies with him—or if Kelvin will always hold her heart. One thing is certain: the trial will bring all secrets into the light.
