“Take care.." Keisha whispered to Layla as she disappeared from there.Layla opened the door and she walked into Nolan's office, she didn't know how to face him, hit she had to him.She saw him there, looking heavenly as ever, he held a cigarette between his fingers.“Nolan.." she called in a cracked voice as fresh tears flowed down her cheeks. Nolan's head snapped up, and he dropped the cigarette in surprise. "Layla?" he called, his voice filled with shock. He stood up, walking towards her. "What are you doing here? You shouldn't be up and about.""I had to see you," Layla said, her voice breaking. "I have to tell you the truth. I didn't cheat on you and never will. I don't know how I got there..” she sobbed explaining herself.“Why are you here? I thought I asked you to stay indoors.." he asked, wiping the tears off the corner of her eyes.“How can you be so cruel.." a sob slipped her lips.“You left me in the room and didn't even speak to me nor gave me a chance to explain myse
“How dare you?" Nolan's blue eyes blazed in anger as he stared at Carla with disappointment. She was the culprit.She knew how he operated so well that she was able to clean her tracks so she'd never be caught. Nolan could feel his wolf stirring, ready to take control. He could feel the anger and betrayal boiling up inside him, and he knew he had to stay in control. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him, no matter how much he wanted to.“You did it right?" He asked in a low voice as Carla suddenly went pale.“You set Layla up and just have added something to her drink?" He asked and Carll who looked like she had seen a ghost started looking for ways to vindicate herself. Carla's eyes widened, and her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. She seemed to be at a loss for words, and Nolan's suspicion grew. "No," she denied, her voice shaking. "I didn't do anything like that. Why would you even think that?"Nolan narrowed his eyes, studying her. "You've never b
The sound of the slap echoed around the room, and Carla's head snapped to the side. She looked at Nolan in shock, her cheek red from the blow. “You're a traitor and a liar. You've betrayed my trust, and you've hurt Layla. I will never forgive you for that. You're a disgrace to this kingdom. You really disappointed me! “ Nolan yelled at her. She stooped so low and did a lot of stupid things."It's all because of you!!" Carla yelled as she pointed angrily at Layla."You destroyed everything, You! You! Yes, you!!!!" Carla screamed like a mad woman as she ran her hands through her hair.Layla stood there, stunned by the outburst. She had never seen Carla like this before, so full of anger and hatred. "I didn't do anything," she began, her voice trembling. "I didn't want any of this to happen. I'm sorry, but please believe me, I didn't do anything wrong!"But Carla wasn't listening. She was too caught up in her own fury to hear reason. "You ruined everything!" she cried, tears streamin
Screams were heard as Nolan and Darren stood anxiously outside the room.Layla was currently in there trying to deliver her baby and it had been taking too long.The only Nolan heard were screams and it left him worried.“What the f*ck" he cussed fighting the urge not to break into the room.He could feel that Layla was in pain. Nolan's heart was pounding as he stood outside the door, listening to the screams coming from inside. His stomach churned with anxiety, and he wanted nothing more than to be able to help Layla in some way. But he knew he had to stay out of the way and let the medical staff do their job.“That's it, I'm going in.." Not being able to take it anymore, he was about to barge into the room when Darren held him back.“I don't think you should do that. Exercise patience..” he stated trying to calm Nolan down." Patient?" Nolan scoffed, running his hands through his hair. He was literally on the verge of losing his mind. "Nolan, please," Darren pleaded, his voice urg
“Aww, she's so cute.." Aurora fawned as she knelt in front of Layla's child crib.“Your child is so pretty, Layla. I'm definitely stealing her away from you… “ Keisha teased as they all laughed joyfully. Layla smiled, a warm feeling of contentment settling over her. She had never felt happier than she did in this moment, surrounded by her friends and her new baby girl."Thank you, everyone," she said, looking around at her friends. "I couldn't have done this without all of you.""You're welcome, Layla," Keisha said. "And don't worry, we'll all be here to help you out with the baby."" She looks so much like Nolan. Baby Noelle..” Aurora read out the name that was printed on her pillow.She was just two days old and the palace had been filled with so much joy since the day Noelle was born.Everyone could see the Alpha smiling from ear to ear as he was in the best mood ever. Layla looked at the baby, who was fast asleep in her crib. She could see the resemblance to Nolan, with the bab
FIVE YEARS LATERLayla walked into her daughter's room to see her still sleeping. “Noelle dear" Layla called as she opened the curtains." Noelle get up. It's time for school.." she announced walking over to the bed. Noelle opened her eyes slowly, letting out a big yawn. "Mommy, I don't want to go to school," she yawned, her voice still groggy with sleep. "I want to stay here at home, good morning morning" She added slowly. Layla smiled, unable to resist Noelle's pleading eyes. "You know you have to go to school, sweetie," she said, trying to sound firm. "It's important for you to learn and grow."Noelle pouted. "But it's boring," she yawned again. “Come on sweetheart. Get up” Layla urged as she picked out Noelle's uniform from the closet.Five years had passed and her daughter had grown into a beautiful girl.She was smart and kind, above all very stubborn.She acted in her own will and hardly listened to anyone and got into trouble all the time.She was always up to one mischi
Layla and Nolan climbed down the stairs with Nolan in his arms. She was fully dressed for school.“Noelle, what took you so long?" Keisha's daughter, Kira asked the moment she saw Noelle.Noelle shrugged. "I was just taking my time," she said with a grin." How are you, Malcolm?” Layla asked Malcolm who was patiently waiting for the two girls." I'm good. Good morning.. “ he greeted." What about you Kira?” She smiled at Kira, who smiled back at her." I'm fine Aunt Layla.." she responded. “Noelle, you should get going. You're already late. You'll have your breakfast in school. I'll send words to your teacher.." Layla informed as Nolan dropped Noelle on the ground as she ran to join her friends. “Okay Mommy.." she replied.“Bye, dear. Have fun.." Layla waved, planting a kiss on her forehead.“I wish I would.." she uttered with sarcasm." I love you sweetheart" Layla threw a kiss at her.“I love you too.." she retorted with a firm face as their Nanny led all of them to the car.“Bye
Noelle ran happily to her parents' room and she opened the door, barging into the room.“Mommy!!" She squealed happily as she jumped in the bed. Layla was asleep. “Yes, dear…” Layla groaned her eyes stuttering. She just finished serving Noelle her lunch a few minutes ago and decided to have some rest. What on earth did she want again? Layla thought as she slowly sat up from the bed." Baby mommy needs to sleep.. “ she yawned as Noelle immediately sat in her lap, wrapping her little hands around her neck. " You know mommy is pregnant with a little brother, so I need maximum rest. What do you want? “ Layla asked knowing the only reason Noelle would come was because she wanted something from her.She was taking some lessons with her governess before Layla left her." I want to go the the park!” Noelle announced her face beaming with smiles and Layla groaned tiredly." Come on Elle. Not today..* she pointed out.“Please, Mommy. Take me to the park, you need and daddy.." she requested p
Layla was seated on the hospital bed as she watched Nolan walk in, with a baby in his arms. Noelle was standing beside her mother. Layla's eyes widened as she took in the sight of her son, who was only a month old. He was a chubby, happy baby, with a thatch of dark red hair and bright blue eyes, all the kids took after their father. "Oh, my baby" she exclaimed, reaching out her arms to him. Nolan placed a sleeping Noah in Layla's arms and he snuggled as his mother carried him. “How are you doing, my love?" Nolan asked, tucking a strand of her hair that was lying on her forehead, behind her ear. She woke up a week ago and was going to be discharged that day. Nolan was the happiest person when Keisha called him, telling him that Layla had woken up from her coma. He couldn't be more grateful for he had missed her so very much. Layla looked up at Nolan, her eyes shining with love. "I'm doing better than I ever thought possible," she said, gazing down at Noah, who was sleepi
“Nolan.. “ Darren called as she approached Nolan who was sitting on one of the chairs near Layla's room." I think you should go back to the palace… '' Darren suggested, as Nolan had not stepped foot out of the hospital since Layla was brought in. She was still in a coma.“And a nanny has been assigned to take care of the baby.." he added as Nolan shook his head slowly.Nolan hadn't even had the time to have a look at his son. As he was worried about Layla. Nolan was so conflicted. He wanted to be by Layla's side, but he also felt an urgent need to hold his son. It was as if his heart was being pulled in two different directions. He knew that Layla would want him to spend time with their baby, but he couldn't bear the thought of leaving her alone.“And you should be with Noelle also.." Darren continued as it seemed like Nolan had no plans of wanting to leave.“She's been crying nonstop. I heard from Keisha that she had refused to eat her meals and locked herself up.." he informed and
“Is she still crying!" Aurora asked Keisha who stood outside the door of Noelle's room.“Yes.." Keisha muttered softly. "I feel so bad for her," Aurora said, her voice heavy with sympathy. "To be separated from her mother like that, it must be so hard for her.""I know," Keisha said, a worried frown on her face. "I wish there was something we could do to make her feel better."“f*ck!" Aurora cursed as her eyes darted to Kira who was holding her mother's hand, then it dawned on her that she was not supposed to curse in front of a small kid.But the situation they were in now was so complicated.Layla was still in a Coma and her child was just brought out from the incubator and then brought him. Noelle on the other hand has not stopped crying since the day she was brought back from the hospital. She refused to eat or even talk to anyone and Noelle was very stubborn, it was very hard to persuade her.“What should we do now? We have to make her eat" Aurora asked, but she knew that was a
Nolan stood unmoving as it seemed that his world came to an abrupt stop. He felt like he had lost everything that very moment, as his wife and daughter lay unconscious on the ground.He could still hear Noelle's heartbeat but the same couldn't be said for Layla whose heartbeats were very faint. She was literally half dead.“This is what you get… “ Carla never got to finish her statement as a blow came flying towards her.Nolan hit her so hard that she lost three of her teeth and she began to bleed.Carla staggered back, clutching her mouth and groaning in pain. She looked up at Nolan, her eyes wide with shock and fear. Carla knew it was over, Nolan was never going to spare Jet, not from the look he had on his faceBut she won at least, Layla would never get Nolan and she made sure of that and turned out victorious. Nolan would not also lose Layla but the unborn child she was carrying.A cold satisfaction settled over Carla as she realized that, even though she had been defeated, she
“You must be joking.." Layla blurted out as she couldn't believe her ears.Carla had lost her mind, what she was requesting was totally out of it. There was no way Nolan was going to do that. "I'm serious, Layla," Carla said, her voice firm. "Nolan has to give me a child, and then you'll be free to leave with Noelle. It's the only way to protect everyone.""You can't be serious!" Layla said, shaking her head in disbelief. "Nolan would never agree to this. You're delusional."Carla's face turned dark, her eyes flashing with anger. "I'm not delusional, and I'm not going to give up until I get what I want. You'd be wise to cooperate, or things could get very ugly."" You must be silly Carla... “ Layla snapped in anger. “Do I seem like I'm joking with you?" Carla raised a brow at her and then she laughed. "Nolan is going to have sex with me.. “ she spelled out word by word for them to hear. “And then I'm going to get pregnant and bear his child.." she said proudly for them t
“Car…la.. you…” Layla stuttered short of words as she pointed at Carla who was standing in front of her. Alive. The last time she heard about her, was her death and a funeral was held for her.Then how come Carla was standing in front of her? Was Carla the one who took Noelle away? It couldn't be… But then Layla remembered that Carla was her only enemy in the past. The one that wanted her dead!!"Carla?" Layla called again, her voice barely above a whisper. "But... I thought... you were..."She trailed off, unable to finish the sentence. Everyone had always thought that Carla had died in a car accident, but now she was standing right in front of her. Layla felt like she was in a dream or a nightmare.“Carla.." Nolan called with uncertainty in his voice. He was going to kill her for real this time if she had something to do with the abduction of his daughter.“Hi, baby. Missed me?" She blew a kiss at Nolan who held a disgusted look on his face.“Enough of all this Carla!!!” Layla sna
“I think you should talk to her yourself, she refused to eat anything," Keisha said to Nolan as they both stood by the door to Layla's room.It just marked 24 hours since Noelle was taken away from them.The whole pack was in turmoil as everyone was trying to find the little princess but it seemed like she just disappeared into thin air.Nolan has set out a huge cash prize for anyone who could provide for his child, while he did all he could to find her by searching the nook and cranny of the pack.Each time a guard came to give him reports, he hoped it was good news. “F*ck'' Nolan ran his hands through his hair as he exhaled sharply. He hadn't gotten sleep neither had he eaten, not that he was planning to, as he didn't mind starving as long as his little angel was brought back to him hale and hearty but the same couldn't be said for Layla. She was human and was also pregnant.“I'll talk to her.." Nolan voiced out.“Please do.." Keisha said as Nolan walked into the room. No one has
Layla was in great shock as she couldn't believe that someone would actually try to kidnap her daughter. It all happened so far and now Noelle is gone.It was like a nightmare come true. And now, her daughter was gone, and she had no idea where she was or what was happening to her. It was a parent's worst nightmare, and Layla felt like she was going to go crazy with worry.“Layla where were.." Nolan, who seemed to be waiting for her, asked the moment he saw her walk in.He couldn't find Layla and Noelle and they seemed to be taking long to arrive. She entered just when he was about to send out guards to look for them.Layla, who felt lifeless, fell into Nolan's arms as she didn't even know where to begin in telling him that his daughter was missing.“What happened to you and where the f*ck is Noelle?" He asked, alarmed as he couldn't shake off that foreboding feeling that something was wrong.“I… I… “ Layla began stammering as fresh tears flowed down from her eyes.“I seriously have
Noelle ran happily to her parents' room and she opened the door, barging into the room.“Mommy!!" She squealed happily as she jumped in the bed. Layla was asleep. “Yes, dear…” Layla groaned her eyes stuttering. She just finished serving Noelle her lunch a few minutes ago and decided to have some rest. What on earth did she want again? Layla thought as she slowly sat up from the bed." Baby mommy needs to sleep.. “ she yawned as Noelle immediately sat in her lap, wrapping her little hands around her neck. " You know mommy is pregnant with a little brother, so I need maximum rest. What do you want? “ Layla asked knowing the only reason Noelle would come was because she wanted something from her.She was taking some lessons with her governess before Layla left her." I want to go the the park!” Noelle announced her face beaming with smiles and Layla groaned tiredly." Come on Elle. Not today..* she pointed out.“Please, Mommy.
