"Layla!!" He shrieked in horror. She was there inside the bathtub drowning."Have you gone mad?" He yelled rushing over to the bathtub and he lifted her up, removing her from the water. Did she really want to attempt suicide?Layla gasped in shock the moment she was pulled out of the water, she opened her eyes slowly only to see Nolan holding her.What is he doing here, and why is he staring at me like that?She questioned herself curiously."Sir.." she called out in uncertainty as he was holding her so tight."Are you mad!!?" He yelled releasing her from his hold as he pushed her away from him."Huh?" Layla's brows furrowed, not sure if what she must have done again to anger him."If you want to commit suicide, do it elsewhere not when you're under my care" he warned as Layla froze in confusion.Who and who is commiting suicide.' wait did he think I was trying to kill myself because he found me under water? ' realization struck her and she was tempted to burst into a roaring laugh.W
Layla sighed in exasperation as she quickly wore her clothes, a Jean pant with a tank top.She was more than frustrated right at this moment, her problems didn't seem to be ending, first it was when she broke a very expensive vase, then she had an asthma attack, now Nolan had told her to get dressed that they'll be visiting a mall.According to him, he was having a dinner with some clients and she would be like his plus one. That was the main reason he brought her along in the first place, to pose as his date, because since she came here, she had not done anything meaningful.She combed her hair and noticed that it was getting longer. She needed to visit the salon and get her hair done but that will be in New York, not here in Seattle. She can't afford to come across any one she knows.She packed her hair backwards before coming out of the bathroom to see Nolan waiting for her."I'm ready sir" she announced and Nolan stood up from the chair walking straight right out of the door, Layl
Nolan's icy blue eyes blazed with anger as his voice thundered in the whole room.He went to his car to get something before Layla would finish making her selection but he only came back to see a strange lady pushing her.His body acted before he could even process anything and he saved her.Layla was his mate and until he rejected her and broke the mate bond on a full moon, no living soul had the right to hurt her, not to even lay a finger on her.His wolf would shred that person to pieces.He could feel her shaking in his hold and he didn't care to know who the lady was, all he wanted to do was punish her dearly for trying to hurt Layla."Wh..o's h..e?" Scarlet stammered asking in shock and awe.The man holding Layla was fucking goodlooking and looked rich. He had this scary Aura which would make any woman submissive to him. She wanted him.Her anger for Layla was suddenly replaced by the inquisition to know who he was.An idea struck her and she spoke,"He must be a…""Shut up!!" N
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
