The Lycan king-Chapter 112

*Jax*

I watched as Leonora cried. I didn’t know what else to do to make her calm down. I had tried to get any information out of her but the more I pressed the more she cried. I heard pregnancy hormones were a thing but I didn’t know if it was this bad.

All she kept doing was mumbling about her being fat. I didn’t think she was fat. Yeah, she added a bit of weight but it wasn’t significant. I had never taken Leonora to be body conscious so her cries kind of threw me off. The only person that I knew that could handle this was Bethany.

I got up and walked out of the room and made my way over to Bethany’s and I knocked the door. Bethany opened it with a smile adorning her face. She scanned my face and her smile dropped.

"What’s the problem?" She immediately asked as she sensed that something was off.

"Leonora is crying. Just come and see." I said and she immediately walked into the room to meet Devon. I gave him a slight wave and he looked a bit annoyed, probably because I was taking his mate from him but I really didn’t care. My baby was crying.

"Babe, Leonora is crying. I’ll be back shortly. I love you." She said as she gave him a kiss before following me to my room. I opened the door for her and we met Leonora lying down in the bed with the sheets covering her body.

She sniffled hard and Bethany ran to her. "Baby girl, what’s going on?" She said as she knelt in the floor. I couldn’t see Leonora’s face as she had her back to me but I knew she was still crying.

"Claire said I’m fat." She mumbled to Bethany. "She knows about my baby." Bethany knelt down beside her and pulled her in a hug. "And then she started insinuating that she and Jax were sleeping together and he doesn’t want to be with me." She said and I felt anger flow through my blood. Why would Claire say something like that? Was she trying to destroy my relationship or she was just trying to get a rise out of Leonora? I couldn’t even tell anymore.

"Bethany, I think this should be between us. I’m really sorry for pulling you away but I can take it from here." I said as she looked up at me. She got up and walked over to me. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"You need to talk to Claire because this is too much. Last time was just small stuff, now she’s getting bolder." Bethany warned me before leaving. Leonora didn’t tell me about their conversation last time and I assumed it wasn’t serious. I crawled into the bed and got underneath the covers.

"Leo, please turn around and look at me." I begged and she turned. She had streaks of tear stains on her cheek. "I don’t appreciate that you could speak to Bethany but not me. We’ll discuss that later. Now I need you to talk to me. I don’t want you to hide things from me because you think she’s my best friend. I told you, it’s us before anything else."

"Are you still attracted to me?" She asked and I frowned. I wondered where this thought was coming from. This is the woman I’ve been with for a while. I haven’t touched anyone else since the first time we slept together.

"I don’t think I can ever stop being attracted to you. I just control myself lately because of the baby." I admitted and she looked away. There was still something else. I adjusted so that we could be lying side by side and I could look into her eyes. "Baby, talk to me." She adjust the covers over us and I pulled her closer.

"Then why haven’t you touched me since?" She asked and I frowned. "Not once have you tried and I know my body has changed and you may not like it but-"

"Wait a minute! You think I don’t want to sleep with you because of your weight?" I asked and she nodded slowly. "Is this because of what Claire said to you?" She nodded again and I sighed. "I can have sex with you right now if that’s the solution to this problem."

"No. That means you’re just doing it because you want to make me feel better and you don’t actually want to." She explained and I sighed. I didn’t even understand what was going on at this moment.

"Baby, I promised myself that I’ll be celibate until the baby is born. This is our first baby and I don’t want to risk anything." I assured her and she turned around with her back to me. I moved closer to her and placed my head on hers with my mouth by her ear. "Or maybe you are sexually frustrated and you just didn’t know how to say it." I whispered in her ear. There was no response so I didn’t know if I was saying the right or wrong thing. "Baby, please I want to look at you and I want you to look at me."

"I’m tired." She mumbled as she turned around to look at me. "Are you sleeping with Claire?" She asked me and I frowned.

"No, If I’m not having sex with you then I’m not having sex at all." I assured her and she nodded. "Do you want me to make love to you, baby?" I asked and her face turned red. I leaned closer and kissed her. I let my hand feverishly explore her body until I pulled her leg over my waist. "Remember the time we mated. I don’t have favorites but I think about that day a lot." I said as I pulled away.

"Me too." She whispered. I unbuttoned her shorts and slowly pulled them off her.

"I’d like to have a repeat, my love." I said as she kicked off her shorts. "Next time you want me, just say it. I’m here at your disposal."
