Layla and Nolan arrived at the pack house, each having a gloomy look on their faces.From one look, one could tell that they were obviously not in the mood to speak or talk to anyone.Layla was still very angry at Nolan for what he had said to her and Nolan was still angry at himself, thinking that he was irresponsible and didn't take care of things properly.Layla admired the peacefulness of the back. It oozed with life. One could tell that everyone was happy there.She admired the huge mansion that Nolan had taken her to, it was so big, beautiful, and somewhat ancient.The guards on duty bowed in respect as they both arrived, the huge door sprang open and Layla saw Keisha standing there her face beaming with smiles, behind her was Carla, who had an irritated look on her face."You guys are here, hi Layla.." Keisha waved jovially at Layla who flashed a smile at her."Where's Hayes?" Nolan asked a dark Aura surrounding him.Anyone who would see him should know better than anyone that
"Come on.." Keisha led Layla into a dark room."Your Alpha is inside.." she giggled and Layla rolled her eyes.Alpha her foot! They were just mates by name, there was nothing special between them as long as she was concerned. Nolan didn't want her nor did she want him.What she wanted to do now was to leave.Run to a place where no one will ever find her and raise her baby herself."Alpha…" Keisha called as soon they got to where Nolan was.In front of him was Hayes bound in chains, a man Layla had never met, and Carla."What are you doing here?" Nolan asked, turning away from Hayes, who was seated on the ground with a bloodied face. It was evident that he had been tortured a lot."Why did you bring Layla here?" He asked again."I thought it would be okay if I brought her along.." Keisha explained and Nolan stared long at Layla before looking away.Truth be told, Layla didn't want to be there either. She felt uncomfortable, the stench, the sight of blood on Hayes, irritated her and sh
Belching sounds were heard as Layla released all the contents of her stomach into the toilet.She felt like disgorging her lungs out as she felt so irritated and disgusted."F**k" she mumbled feeling satiated. She now felt better. The toilet made a flushing sound as she pressed a button.Standing up from the ground, she walked over to the sink and turned the faucet on. Water began to flow out, which she used in rinsing her face and her mouth.Feeling much better, she stepped out of the bathroom."Layla, are you okay?" Keisha asked worriedly immediately as she stepped out of the bathroom."I'm fine," Layla muttered, wiping the corners of her mouth.Truth be told, she was feeling very funny. She guessed it was the normal early morning pregnancy sickness."What happened, you look sick?" Keisha reasoned, she had noticed Layla's foul mood, since the first time she stepped foot into the pack."I'm fine…" Layla stressed, holding her forehead. Now she was feeling dizzy."You don't look fine t
Nolan had heard the commotion outside and was forced to come out.He has requested that no one disturb him as he needed some time to think and look for ways to set things straight.But it seemed like that wouldn't be possible."What are you all doing here?" He snarled In a menacing tone as Carla stepped away from where she was standing."Layla's sick…" Keisha blurted out and Carla shot a hard glare at her."Sick.." Nolan repeatedly took a look at Layla who was standing timidly behind Keisha."Yes, I don't think she's feeling well.." Keisha informed and Nolan's brows furrowed.He must have gone so hard on her the previous night that she even fell sick."What's the big deal about it?" Carla chuckled butting in."Layla can take good care of herself and Nolan needs some rest also, come on Layla I'll take you to a guest room.." she offered an attempt to hold Layla's hand but was stopped by Nolan right in time as his deep baritone voice rang in their ears."No need, I'll take care of this m
Layla was sleeping soundly and peacefully when someone walked into the room.Nolan's eyes squinted on seeing her on his bed, sleeping. What was she doing here?Striding to where she laid, he tapped her roughly and Layla jerked up from the bed in shock."What are you doing here?" His voice thundered in her ears as Layla wore a confused look on her face.What was Nolan doing here and why was he disturbing her sleep?What had she done this time that made him angry again?"Huh..si…" she paused as she recollected that he had warned her not to address him as sir again."Mr Adlen.." she uttered, rubbing her sleepy eyes. As she wondered what sort of a devil he was.He didn't care to ask about her health, even when he said he would take responsibility for her, now he was disturbing her sleep."Why are you here?" He asked again with a stoic expression on his face."Here…" Layla repeated in confusion."Stop acting dumb and answer me!" He yelled at her."Keisha brought me here, she said I would b
Nolan's car pulled up in front of Aurora's apartment and Layla found herself breathing in relief. "Thanks Nolan.." she thanked him and she stepped out from the car."Xander will come pick you up tomorrow morning.." he informed as he drove away."Jerk…" Layla sneered walking to her apartment as she knocked on the door."Who's it?" She heard Aurora's voice from Inside.How much she's missed her friend."It's me.." Layla whimpered with a breaking voice.She felt like crying right at that moment."Fuck you!!" Aurora cursed as she ran to the door to Open it.Immediately she opened the door, both friends broke into a tight hug."Oh my god! Are you crying?" Aurora asked feeling Layla's hot tears on her back."I've missed you so much.." Layla cried. It felt so sad that she would be leaving her best friend and she couldn't tell her the reason that she would be leaving."Oh my, oh my.." Aurora muttered patting Layla's back. Why was she acting so emotional?"Come on,let's go in.." she led Layl
"Please endeavor to take your medicines and have some rest also, hmm.." Aurora advised as she stepped out of the pharmacy together with Layla."I will, thanks for your concern.." Layla flashed a smile at Aurora as they walked to where Aurora's car was parked."By the way, I'll be taking driving lessons during the weekend.." Layla informed Aurora happily."I see, are you getting a car?""Nahh, my boss told me to learn, I think he is going to get me one.." Layla reasoned. It would be so much better to get a car, sometimes public transportations was so tiring."Wow, that's great, I can teach you if you want to learn, or better still we can ask Regan.." Aurora suggested."No need, I'm not sure yet, I think he's probably going to arrange for someone to teach me..""Alright babe, make sure you take good care of yourself..""I will…" Layla chuckled at her friend's overprotectiveness; she couldn't count how many times Aurora had told her to take care of herself today."Good and I'm always her
"You shouldn't have done that.." Layla voiced out the moment they got into Aurora's car. "Done what?" Aurora scoffed in disbelief. "What you did, you're only going to anger Scarlet.." Layla Stated. She didn't want someone to come for her. Because Scarlet would definitely not sit back. "And so f*cking what!!!" Aurora's voice thundered in the car. "Let her get angry for all I care, she can kill herself if she wants, I don't care!!" Aurora emphasized. Layla took it so lightly with people. That was why she was always the victim. She did not know how to stand up for herself. Aurora and Regan always did that for her back in high school. Then there was Rosalie, the evil stepmother. Who was also out to make Layla's life miserable but never did Layla once complained. She just suffered silently. "Enough is enough Layla!!" "You need to stop being like this, you're going to be a mother soon, if you can't stand up for yourself, how are you going to stand up for your child?" Aurora drilled
