The Lycan king-Chapter 102

*Jax*

I blinked a couple of times wondering if she was joking. She relaxed into the tub, resting her back on the tub.

"Leo, are you pregnant?" I asked and she nodded nonchalantly. "Oh goddess! Why didn’t you say anything?"

"I don’t know. We were fighting and I just wanted to process everything on my own." She said and I completely understood. I felt like jumping and screaming but Leonora already had her eyes closed. "I’m so hungry and tired."

"Come here." I said and she slowly moved over to me. I cuddled her in my arms as she closed her eyes and rested.

I didn’t know what to think or feel. All I felt was joy and happiness but I couldn’t really express it. The mood was sober and my baby just wanted to cuddle. I really couldn’t believe it.

I was right.

All those times she wore my clothes were her way of covering up her body. All those times she asked for the lights off. All those times and she couldn’t tell me. I knew it. I knew it. For a moment I thought I was imagining things.

I picked up the loofah hanging by the wall and began to scrub her body lightly. I wasn’t going to let her do anything ever again even if it meant I sacrificed all my time for her. She deserved it and even more.

"Jax." She mumbled. "I hate fighting with you. I love kissing you randomly and I miss it so much. I like when you get all cuddly and soft and you kiss my head before I sleep and you give me a massage and you always tuck me in like a baby and you bring food and we drink wine and you kiss me and we watch movies together- oh! We never run together. I wanna see your wolf."

"I’ll do all that and more, baby." I said as I kissed her head again. I honestly didn’t think she took note of all these things because I didn’t. They were just things I did because I liked her. "I like when you kiss my cheek and tell me you like me. I like when you cook for me. I love when you kiss me especially when we are in public. I like when you cuddle me like a baby but I won’t let you do that anymore."

"Why?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked up at me with a pout. "I like taking care of my baby."

"Because my baby is having a baby and my job is to protect you now. I don’t even think my gift matches yours anymore." I said with a pout and she smiled.

"What did you get me?"

"I got you a car, just like you asked and I was going to grant you a weekend with Bethany out in the city. Girl’s weekend." I said which made her squeal and dance causing the water to splash around. "Your gift is better than mine."

"It’s not a competition." She said and I immediately gave her my evil smile. "I wanted to give Bethany something for her help. She’s the best."

"I understand why the both of you are so close. She’s a good friend unlike my own friend." I said with a sigh. "But I was serious about my vow. I wouldn’t let anyone hurt you whether it’s a friend of mine or our enemy."

"That’s a bit too much." She mumbled as she went back to closing her eyes and relaxing on my chest.

"No, it’s not. You’ve given so much to be in this position with me, the least I can do is protect you. The icing on the cake is this baby- our baby. That’s the best thing anyone could ever do for me." I said and kissed her head. I felt her lips curve into a smile.

"I’m hungry." She muttered and I knew time was up. "But I don’t want to move. I like the heat."

"We have to shower and go back to the room, mama." I said and she perked up. "I also need to make that call. I need to tell Micah to get something."

"Okay." She said as she stood up and I followed suit. I removed the plug and the water started flowing out the drain. I took her over to the shower and turned on the warm water. We stepped underneath and rinsed our body. "Can you give me a massage tomorrow? Bethany usually helps sometimes when she’s not with Devon."

"Anything for my queen." I said as I looked down at her belly. "Have you had any craving?"

"Not really. But I throw up when I smell orange juice and coffee. I can’t stand it especially coffee." She said as she stepped out of the shower. She picked up one towel and passed it over to me and took one for herself.

We wrapped our body and walked out of the bathroom. I went back to the bathroom to pick up my clothes. I pulled out my phone from the pocket, making sure to dial Micah’s number.

"Hey man, what’s good? Is she okay now?" Micah shouted over the music. It seemed like he was having a good time and I hated that I would have to pull him away.

"Yeah she is. Please can you send some food up. She’s starving. Like a lot of food." I said as I immediately ended the call. I threw the phone on the bed and turned to see Leonora rummaging through my closet for something to wear.

"I have a sweat shirt. I got more after you took some of mine." I said and she gave me a teasing smile. "You can have maybe one o Mr two but that’s it. You can’t keep stealing my clothes. I can’t even wear yours."

"You can! You haven’t seen the vision." She said with a laughter. "I’m really sorry I pulled you away from the party. You can go back. I’m feeling way better than before."

"And leave my wife here alone?"
