Layla was losing it, she started to feel dizzy and lightheaded. Her body ached, and she felt like she was going to pass out. She was so thirsty, and she could feel her strength waning. She knew she needed to get help, but she was too weak to move. Her stomach ached in pain, it grumbled out of hunger and her throat ached also.She started to feel hot and clammy, and her head was spinning. She tried to sit up, but she was too weak. She began to panic, her mind racing with thoughts of what might happen to her. She felt like she was slipping away like she was losing her grip on reality.She couldn't afford to lose her baby, so with the little strength she could muster, she slowly crawled out of the bed, straight to the ground as she tried to crawl to the door.She was trying to do so when she heard her name."Layla, Layla!!" It was Nolan's voice. The door sprang open and Nolan came into view as he breathed deeply. He was shocked to see Layla on the ground."Layla..." He uttered softly as
As Nolan rushed Layla to the hospital, he worried about what was wrong and whether she would be okay. He signed her in at the registration desk, providing all the necessary information. Layla was then immediately taken to a VIP room, where she could rest and receive the best possible care.Nolan sat on a bench not too far from her room, he looked gloomy. He didn't know what to think about, everything felt over for him.He was the one who put Layla in that condition, he went too hard on his mate and she ended up unconscious.He felt his heart pierce as his mate was in pain, his wolf kept tearing at him blaming him for whatever had happened to Layla."Where's Layla?" Aurora asked as she ran towards Nolan, Xander behind her."Who are you?" Nolan asked, anger evident in his face."I'm Aurora, Layla's best friend. And you better give me a good explanation on how Layla ended up in a hospital" Aurora demanded fearlessly. She was never scared of anyone."Aurora calm down.." Xander tried paci
"Nolan, are you there?" Carla asked at the other side of the line to be sure that Nolan was listening. She was so excited to share what she considered to be very good news."What the f*ck do you want?" He hissed in annoyance."I don't have all day, spill!" Carla could tell that he was not in the mood. It was even better to tell him when he was angry. Everyone knew how he acted when he was pissed."It's about Layla.." she began as she swirled the glass of wine she was holding."What about Layla?" Nolan asked, suddenly becoming interested at the mention of Layla."You know she's pregnant right?" Carla smiled as she went straight to the point. She would have loved to say it straight to his face, but neither was he home when she went there and he also left the office in a hurry.The enthusiasm within her couldn't wait till they met.Nolan's jaw worked as he remained quiet, it seemed as if he was the only one who was left in the dark, even Carla knew about Layla's pregnancy."You know the
Nolan remained quiet after hearing Karen's question. He remained puzzled about what to say.He actually abused her, he tried her and whipped her mercilessly and even left her in her room without asking after her."I'll just ask Layla after she regains consciousness.." Karen spoke out seeing Nolan was quiet. Whip marks were found in her body and it only pointed at abuse."Please adhere to the instructions I set out for you." She added with a warm smile on her face.Nolan sat up from the chair after collecting the piece of paper Karen had given him as he walked out of the office."Nolan, how's she?" Xander asked the moment Nolan approached them, Aurora spranging up from the chair she was sitting in."She's fine now though she's still unconscious" Nolan replied."And get baby?" Aurora asked anxiously."They're both fine.." Nolan responded as Xander and Aurora breathed out in relief."You're so lucky Layla and her baby is fine " Aurora began in a venomous voice as Xander held her back."D
Layla's eyes fluttered open and she felt the presence of someone in her room. She slowly sat up from the hospital bed, only to see Nolan standing there, with a relieved look on his face.Her heart immediately began to race as she wondered what he was doing to her, she still didn't forget that he had put her in the situation she was in."Layla, how are you doing?" He asked in a low tone. He had never felt pressured by anyone in his life before but here he was feeling pressured."Like you care.." Layla muttered but he heard her well enough.Nolan wasn't expecting Layla to be nice to him or even talk to him after what he'd done.He did not deserve to stand before her. Over the few days when she was unconscious, he realized his mistake and discovered that he had treated her too badly. He never considered her feelings."Layla, I think we should talk.." he said, stepping close to her."About what?" Layla asked in a very low voice. She was not in the mood to see or talk to him."About how yo
VISIT "Hi, Layla!!" Aurora waved as she walked into Layla's hospital room with Xander."Aurora!!" Layla called happily, feeling delighted to see her."Oh my God, Layla. I'm so happy to see you" Aurora stated as she went ahead to hug Layla who hugged her back."Me too.." Layla said, her face beaming with smiles."How are you doing Layla?" Xander asked."I'm good…" "I missed you, girl.." Aurora pouted as she hugged Layla for the second time."Look what we've got you…" Aurora began as she showed Layla the basket she had brought along with her."What's that?" Layla asked in anticipation, as she couldn't wait to see what they got for her."Some supplements that you'll need during your stay here. I brought you a cozy blanket, you'll need it at night.." Aurora informed as she dropped the blanket on Layla's lap."I also made your favorite dish…" she added."Really!!" Layla exclaimed as she smiled warmly."Yes, I made scrambled eggs with spinach, baked salmon with quinoa and broccoli. These
Nolan's car pulled up in front of his apartment and he stepped out, walking over to the other side, so he could help Layla out."No need.." she bluntly refused. "I can help myself" she added and she opened the car door, stepping out as well and she walked inside, leaving her belongings for Nolan to take care of. She planned to make him regret ever laying his hands on her."Maddox!!" She squealed happily the moment she walked inside the house."Woof!" Maddox barked as he jumped on Layla."Oh boy, I've missed you.." she pouted as she rubbed its fur. She'd still not forgotten how much she feared him back then, but now, they've become best buddies."Look at you. It seems as if you've grown bigger.." she teased, still rubbing him slowly then she stood up."You should go to your room Layla and get some rest," Nolan informed, dropping get bags on the floor after he got in."I'm not in the mood to talk, I'll get a glass of water.." she informed walking over to the kitchen and Nolan followed b
THREE DAYS LATER….Layla looked outside the window as she enjoyed the quiet ride. Today was the day they were to go to the pack finally.She had bid farewell to Aurora and Xander, as Xander had to stay back to take care of the company.She felt sad leaving, but Xander had promised her that he would be Aurora whenever he came to visit.She also cleared the air with Regan and apologized for not calling that night. She told him that she would be away for a very long time but would endeavor to call him from time to time.The car pulled up in front of a big mansion, the very mansion she came to after the day Nolan marked her.A guard stepped forward to open the car door and Layla climbed down, another doing the same for Nolan."Your Highness.." they bowed, their head facing the ground as they dared not look at his face.Layla then remembered that he was still the old, cold Nolan, whom everyone feared as those icy blue eyes of his could send cold chills down a person's spine.The large door
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
