"What are you doing?" Layla asked with a hitched breath as Nolan stood right in front of her.What was he planning to do?"Something new.." came his response in a dry and raspy voice."I have to leave, I have something to do.." she stammered making her way to leave but he held her back."What are you doing?" Layla asked in horror, his face held an evil smirk that scared the living hell out of her."Come here.." he tugged her wrist and the next thing, Nolan was already seated on the couch, Layla on his lap."What are you?" She asked horrified, wanting to stand up from his lap but he held her even tighter."Don't even think of moving an inch!" He warned and that seemed to have done the trick as Layla sat still unmoving.Layla could feel the tension in the air as she sat in Nolan's lap. The room was quiet, save for the soft sound of their breathing. She could feel his gaze on her, burning into her skin, and she had to fight the urge to squirm under his intense scrutiny. Finally, he spoke
"No, no, no...It's not what you think?" Layla began in stammers, she didn't know what was in the text but whatever it was she was sure Nolan was not supposed to see it."I only went to the grocery store, I swear to God.." she swore fidgeting in fear. The murderous glint in Nolan's eyes scared the living hell out of her."Then what's the meaning of this bullshit?" He howerled grabbing Layla's arm as she flinched in fear."It was nice spending time with you today, hope to go on a date soon ( love emoji). Hope you got home safe" he read out in fury. Was Layla seriously seeing another man?"No, no… Nolan, you're misunderstanding the whole issue here" she defended. The text was from Regan. Now she knew. How would she explain to Nolan that it was just a harmless text, Nolan would not spare her."Misunderstanding?" He chuckled in amusement."Where did you meet him? So you went to see a man before going to the grocery store?" He asked in disbelief as Layla quickly shook her head."Nolan pleas
Layla stepped out of her room ready for work as she walked to the sitting room, where she saw Nolan sitting there over a cup of coffee."Good morning.." She greeted him unsure if that was the right thing to do after what happened the previous day.But nonetheless, she wanted something from him that was why she greeted him because she would rather act like he didn't exist."I'm off to work.." she informed him softly. That was what she wanted from him. She didn't know if he changed his mind after what happened yesterday and might use that as a means to punish her."I'm off to work.." she said again seeing that he did not give her a reply."Nolan, I'm off to…""What the f*ck do you want me to do about it?" He snapped coldly at her. So he was still pissed.Well, he could be angry to the extent of hitting his head against the wall for all Layla cared."I just…""Get lost.." he waved her off and Layla quickly ran out of the house.He didn't change his mind after all, Layla was very happy to
"Who's it, hold on, I'm coming!" Aurora yelled as she ran out of her room. It was just 9pm so she wondered who was knocking at her door, knowing there was no way it could be Layla as Layla was at work."Good morn….oh Fuck!" Her countenance fell the moment she saw the person standing on her porch."What are you doing here?" She asked coldly."I came here to see you, why else would I be here?" Xander responded pointing out the obvious."Now you've seen me, leave.." She made her way to shut the door but was stopped by Xander."I also came to talk to you about something, so I'm coming in.." he smirked as he walked straight into her apartment as he sat on the couch comfortably."I never invited you in!" Aurora snapped at him as he chuckled."Chill Aurora, stop getting worked up already.." Xander said as if he was bored of her attitude."Well you being here is getting me so worked up that I feel like strangling you, so leave!" She ordered pointing at her door."I came here because of Layla,
Nolan swirled his chair from scratch side to side as he had an uneasy look on his face. He looked worried.The words Layla said to him the same before was stuck on his head and the more he tried to forget about it, the more it worried him the most.Was he being too harsh on her? Nolan quickly warded off that thought as he picked up his phone which he used to call Layla."Yes Nolan, do you need anything?" Layla asked from the other side of the phone."Come to my office.." he instructed and with that disconnected the call. Layla quickly dropped what she was doing as she rushed to his office.Layla's mouth went dry. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart. Reluctantly, she gathered her things and left her office, heading for Nolan's. When she arrived, she knocked on the door, her hand trembling. "Come in," Nolan's voice said from within. Layla took a deep breath and opened the door."Yes Nolan, is there anything you want me to do?" She asked him the moment she got into
Layla was still in a daze when he suddenly slammed his lips on hers.Layla tried to break the kiss but Nolan held her fast. "Don't," he said, his voice husky. She looked up at him and saw the desire in his eyes. She didn't know what to do. This wasn't how things were supposed to go. But then, she felt herself melting into him and all thoughts of what she should or shouldn't do flew out the window.Right there she wanted Nolan Adlen.She closed the gap between them and pressed her lips to his. He wrapped his arms around her, pulled her close, and deepened the kiss. Layla's heart was pounding, and she felt her knees go weak. But she didn't want to stop. She wanted to be lost in this moment, with this man, and never come back.Layla lost herself in the moment, letting the sensations wash over her. She felt Nolan's fingers running through her hair, his body pressed against hers, his breath on her face. She closed her eyes, and all she could see was him. All she could feel was him. It w
Carla walked majestically into Nolan's company as she made way for his office.She was about to get into the elevator when two bodyguards placed there stopped him."What do you think you're doing?" She asked in anger as she took off the shades she was wearing."You're not allowed to go in, miss.." the first bodyguard named James said in a stern voice.They were given strict orders not to allow anyone In."You've got to be kidding me.." Carla chuckled as she slowly placed her shades into her purse."Do you know who I am?" She asked."I'm Carla and once Nolan finds out about this. I'll make sure he fires you both. So get out of my way to avoid that!" She howerled moving close to the elevator but James pushed her backward."We're only obeying strict orders.." she says curtly."Have you lost it? Do you seriously know who you're talking to? Get out of my way now!" She gritted her teeth in anger.She came here in hopes of seeing Nolan and spending some time with him after what she did to th
Layla lifted her head slowly from Nolan's chest as she blinked her eyes repeatedly, her face met with Nolan's who was calmly asleep. His arms were tightly wrapped around her bare waist as she sat on top of him straddling him while Nolan sat on the chair.Her face immediately flushed red as she remembered the events that happened just about an hour ago. How hard and insanely Nolan drove in and out of her and how he kept on calling her beautiful and hot repeatedly. He had fallen asleep after that as she did the same afterward.She had no idea what must have gotten into Nolan, but right now he looked so peaceful and calm. She couldn't help but admire his beauty.She also marveled how Aan could be so good-looking like Nolan.In fact, the Lycans she had met were very handsome, starting from Nolan, down to Xander and the man she met at the pack. They were all so good-looking.Layla kept staring at his flawless face for a long time, she didn't want to look away, she wanted to drown in his
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. Take me to the park, you need and daddy.." she requested p
