Pregnant After One Night With The Lycan King

Layla kept tossing around the bed as she found it difficult to fall asleep. The night was cold as it was also raining but she felt restless.

She could have stood up a long time ago and taken a stroll around the room but Nolan was around as he was working on something. He was not yet asleep.

“Having trouble sleeping?” She heard his voice and she stiffened, he must have noticed her discomfort.

“Yes…” she replied as she released a sharp breath.

“Why? You have the whole bed to yourself” he teased as he was busy writing some reports that were supposed to be delivered to the elders the next morning.

“I don’t know..” she confessed as she removed the duvet that was covering her body and she sat up resting her head on the headboard.

“I’m feeling restless…” she uttered as she stood up from the bed and walked over to the window.

She just couldn’t fathom why she was finding it so hard to sleep, no matter how hard she shut her eyes, she always ended up opening them and tossing around restlessly.

She looked outside the window, it was cold and the nightwear she was wearing did little or no justice to protect her from the cold. She was about to turn around and head for the closet so she could grab a sweater, when someone suddenly placed a thick sweater on her.

“Put that on..” he said behind her and he helped her wear the jacket.

Layla was a little stunned by that little gesture of his.

“Are you still scared about what happened?” He asked as he stood beside her.

“Yes..” she confessed, speaking in a low voice. She was still shaken by that incident.

“You don’t have to worry about anything. You’ll be safe..” he assured and Layla shook her head slowly.

The new version of Nolan surprised her a bit, it actually felt strange knowing he had this side of him.

“Has the culprit been caught yet?” She asked.

“Not yet but we have a lead on him now..” he responded as Layla turned her head to face him before looking away again.

“Him?” She asked, raising a brow at him.

“Yes, him. It turned out that the poison belonged to the park herbalist. He’s late. The bottle was customized under him..” he explained and Layla nodded in understanding.

“But why would a person I don’t know want to harm me?” She couldn’t help but ask . It was so confusing for her.

“We’ll find out tomorrow. But for now, be rest assured that everything is fine now. You’re not going to be put in any danger from today…” he assured her.

“Nolan, can I ask you a question?” Layla began and he gave her the approval to go ahead with her question.

“Why the sudden change?” She asked turning sideways to face him, her brown eyes holding curiosity in them.

“I mean the sudden change in character and behavior?” He added as he didn’t give her an answer yet.

Nolan pursed his lips as he thought of his answer. What was he supposed to tell her? That he had realized his mistake and wanted to make things right or that he realized that Layla had gone through hell and deserved the best, especially from him who was her mate.

“It’s because you deserve the best Layla.. ” he spoke out, their gazes still fixed on each other.

“I allowed my anger to take over me and I never took out the time to get to know you better Layla…” his deep voice sounded in the room and Layla found herself holding her breath as she found it hard to breathe.

“Are you doing this because of the pregnancy?” She asked softly.

“No..” came his next shocking reply.

“I’m doing it for you and our baby. I think it’s time I officially ask for your forgiveness Layla. I’ve really wronged you a lot. I did the worst of things to you, I was over clouded by my anger. The anger I was never supposed to take out on you Layla…” he paused and he held her hands.

“I ask for another chance from you Layla to make things right..” he uttered in a pleading tone as they stared at each other for the longest of time, it felt as if they were trying to convene their emotions to each other.

“I’m feeling tired. I want to sleep..” Layla voiced out as she slowly released her hand from his hold and she walked to the bed.

She climbed on the bed and covered herself up with the duvet and she clasped her eyes shut and tight.

She knew she would not sleep throughout that night because Nolan’s words would repeatedly ring in her ears.

She felt like screaming out loud.

She was still in her thoughts, when she felt someone climb up the bed.

She knew it was Nolan, but she was quite shocked as they’ve not slept on the same bed since the day they came to the pack. He always slept in the study room.

“Good night Layla..” she heard him say but she did not give him a reply. She remained still on the bed, there was no way she was going to fall asleep now Nolan was beside her.

……
