Layla sat quietly during the whole ride as no one spoke to the other. They both minded their business.Nolan found Layla pretty but never saw the need to tell her that or comment on her looks.He had gotten a text from Darren a few minutes ago, telling him that there was a few moon tonight.So after the meeting he had with the clients, he would reject her at exactly 12:00 O clock.Then the need to protect her would be gone and his wolf will no longer be restless at the sight of her.His phone vibrated and he checked to see who it was.It was a text from Keisha telling him to have fun.A smile ghosted his face as he dropped the phone back in place. There was not going to be any fun tonight.Keisha was one naughty girl, he had been friends with her long before he became a Lycan king and an Alpha. They happened to be very close friends.While Carla was kind of his responsibility and he felt the need to take care of her.Her father had died in the war trying to save his life, the same war
"We need to leave now" Nolan announced standing up on his feet as Layla did the same wondering what must have come up that made him want to leave all of a sudden."Mr Alden!" Hayes called in surprise as he stood up also."I have somewhere very important to go to, you can come see me in my office…" Nolan said holding Layla by her hand.As long as he was concerned this place was not safe. Hayes was up to no good."But Mr Alden…" Hayes chuckled dryly."You just came here, at least sit and talk" he tried to persuade Nolan. But Nolan's mind was already made up. This place was not safe for Layla.Hayes was a werewolf and his men would definitely be werewolves."We're leaving" Nolan says with a note of finality and he took a hold of Layla's hand and they both began to work away.He was almost halfway through the door when a loud gunshot was heard.Layla flinched as she held Nolan tighter at the sound of the gun.Nolan gritted his teeth in anger, he knew it.His intuition was right after all,
"Oh no" Layla mumbled as she sat up from the ground."Damn you heels" she cursed, pulling them off from her legs as she stood up from the ground. Those stupid heels had slowed her down, now one of Hayes's men was running towards her.Layla was shocked beyond measure at what was happening tonight, Nolan growing fangs and killing men with his bare hands.The truth was that she was very scared and would have freaked out long ago, but now all that mattered to her was her life."Get her!!" Hayes howerled pointing at Layla who was getting ready to take to her heels."Oh Fuck!!" Nolan cursed under his breath ripping out the heart of the man he was fighting with, as his dead body fell helplessly on the ground.He was about to go to Layla when another group of men surrounded him again."You guys really don't learn, do you?" He tsk launching at them. He just hopes Layla would be wise enough to run.Layla remained rooted to the ground as a man was pointing a gun right at her, was this how she wa
Layla held on tight to the car as Nolan drove as fast as he could.She kept worrying about him because he was shot, but he had warned her to stay quiet and he also looked fine.She was tempted to ask where they were going because as far as she was concerned, the route he was taking was not the way back to the hotel."Get my phone" he instructed, breaking Layla out of her stream of thoughts. She hastily began to search for his phone which she handed over to him.Nolan collected the phone from Layla as he unlocked it. He went through his call log as he searched for Xander's number. He immediately dialed in the number when he found it."Nolan!" Xander's surprised voice rang through the speakers after the first dial."Where are you?" Nolan questioned as he heard a lot of noise from the background."I'm at a club" came Xander's reply."Get out of there immediately!" Nolan instructed."Alright, on it" Xander responded, he could hear the urgency in Nolan's voice. "I'm out, do you need anyth
After driving to a point, Nolan stepped out of the car as he spoke to Layla."Come out"Layla immediately came out of the car, her bare feet hitting the cold ground, she lost her shoes when trying to run away from their attackers."Where are we going sir? Layla couldn't help but ask him, because he didn't expect her to walk barefooted."To my lake house, you'll be safe there" he replied as they continued walking."Are we walking there?" She questioned because she was not expected to walk barefoot there." No, I had someone arrange a car for me, we will get there soon" he responded as they continued walking.He had discarded his car there Incase Hayes was tracking him.About a few minutes later, they both came face to face to a black car, which was lying at the side of the road.Layla looked around her surroundings, they were literally in the middle of nowhere, it was already dark and not a single soul was seen around this place."Get in" he instructed getting into the car also.Layla
Layla quickly ran back to Nolan after finding the lighter."Sir…." She knelt in front of him as she panicked. The blue color on his skin was slowly spreading."I've gotten the lighter" she quivered, placing her shaky hands on his shoulders."Burn it out.." he said in a ragged breath. Layla needed to burn the poison out."Burn what out?What about the bullets you've been shot at!" She exclaimed, breathing hard. What did he seriously want to get burned out? How did he even expect her to burn a human skin, she would literally pass out in the process of doing so."The poison for fuck sake!" Nolan gritted his teeth in pain. The Poison was spreading rapidly."How do you expect me to do that?" Layla muttered, she would not be strong enough to do that. She can't even stand seeing someone in pain, how can she be the cause of inflicting pain on Someone."I see you want me dead" Nolan grunted in sarcasm, he was the one hurt, yet she was the one complaining."No, no, no, I don't want you dead" Lay
Layla frowned upon hearing what he had said."Mates.." she mumbled squinting her eyes in confusion."Yes mates" Nolan confirmed. There was no need in hiding anything from her.She had already witnessed it all, so she should know everything."What is a mate?" Layla blurted out, utterly speechless. She just stared at him blankly."Forget it. I'll get a rag to wipe the blood off your body" Layla attempted to stand up on her feet but she was dragged back by Nolan who made her sit on his laps pulled her and he held her hands entwining their fingers together."Don't move" he cautioned in a cold steel voice which sent shivers down Layla's spine.Layla gulped nervously because of the way his large hands felt on her soft small ones and her insides were already a mess right now, not to mention that she was already burning Red."You're hot, you feel it too right," he whispered softly to her as Layla unconsciously arched her back uncomfortably, grinding against him, as her ass unconsciously wig
Layla's eyes remained glued to Nolan's as she stayed unblinking. His icy blue eyes staring deep into her brown ones.Layla soon realized that they've been staring into each other's eyes for quite a long time which made her quite uncomfortable.She cleared her throat loudly stepping out of her reverie."Why were you crying earlier?" Nolan suddenly asked. Actually that thought has been bothering him as he just couldn't understand her behavior earlier.She was crying when she was not hurt and even wished that she was the one hurt instead."Because I was worried about you.." came Layla's honest reply and a dry laugh vibrated out of Nolan's mouth, which left Layla in amusement.This was literally the first time she was seeing him laugh."Worried!!" He chuckled with a sneer.She was the first person that had ever told him those words, that she was worried about him.Most people looked up to him for protection not to worry about him."You don't have to be worried about me, Layla, worry abou
