The Lycan king-Chapter 32

*Jax*

Leonora laid on my bed while I sat at the foot of my bed. I could hear her labored breaths as she tried to calm herself. Did she really think I would kiss her? I wasn’t getting the release I wanted and she thinks she can? That’s not possible. To make matters worse, I ended things with that girl. I couldn’t even remember her name. Mindy? Christina? Scarlett? I don’t know why I couldn’t remember. All I know was that she had a high libido and she let me do whatever I wanted to her.

I turned to look at Leonora who was still staring at the ceiling. After a few minutes, she got up and walked over to her little corner of the room. I wanted to tell her she could stay in bed with me but I knew it was risky.

Being in the same room with her was risky. I don’t know why I was putting myself up for torture. I thought having her close and being nice to her would make her change her mind, instead it was changing mine. It was really a stupid decision.

I looked at her and she was furiously writing in a small book. I wanted to take a peek but I refrained from looking. This wasn’t her room and I want to give her a little bit of privacy but my body didn’t want that. My wolf wanted to be close to hers. My body called for hers. I wanted to be next to her, holding her as she wrote about how much of a terrible person I was in that little diary of hers.

I wanted her to write how I made her feel and I wanted her to give it to me as a gift.

Wait! This arrangement would end soon. I should not expect much from her. All I should expect was for her to accept my rejection. And she needed to do it soon before all these unwanted feelings spring out from the tiny box in the far corner of my heart.

"Jax." She called pulling me out of my thoughts and I looked over at her. "Can I spend the night at the staff quarters? I’ll be back here every morning. I’ll clean and make sure breakfast, lunch and dinner are always available." I looked at her like she had grown two heads. Did she think that I was that nice?

"No." I said as I laid down on the bed. "Have you had breakfast or lunch?" I asked and I heard her mutter a ’no’ and I sighed. Why didn’t she get anything to eat? Oh, she wasn’t allowed to leave this room. "Go and get lunch for two. Make sure you’re inconspicuous about it. If you don’t know what it means-"

"Jax, I was a literal teacher before you snatched me away from my life!" She said as she got up from the floor. She hurriedly walked out of the room before I could say something. A part of me felt bad for pulling her out of her life in the human world but she wasn’t happy. She never smiled unless she was at class with her students. She was always on her own and she never made friends. It was awful to hear from my spies but a part of me believed she deserved it.

She slept with Noah. She chose Noah.

The door opened and she entered with Bethany, both holding trays of food. They dropped it on the table and she walked Bethany out. I watched her whisper into Bethany ears.

She walked back to the room and sat down then she looked over at me. "Aren’t you going to eat?" She asked with the softest voice I had ever heard. I got up and walked over to my seat and joined her.

"You know, next time, just go and get something to eat." I advised her and she scoffed as she began to eat. "I’m serious."

"Says the person that said I should be inconspicuous." Leonora said as she continued to stuff her face. "You should try some, it’s really good." She hummed as she ate. I joined her to eat the food. "Did you really end things with that girl? What’s her name?" I honestly couldn’t remember her name. Selma? Jessica? Why couldn’t I remember?

"To be honest, I don’t even remember her name. And yes, I ended things with her." I said and Leonora hummed in response. I wondered what was going on in that little head of hers. "I started hooking up with her like a few months after you left but it was like once a month."

"Why are you telling me?! I don’t need to know about all your escapades." She exclaimed and I chuckled. There was no way she didn’t want to know what I was up to the whole time she was away.

"You don’t want to know?" I asked her and she gave me a side eye. I knew she wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to know more about me. "My mate needed to mate and it got worse when you left. It’s all your fault." I noticed her body stiffen at my words.

"I didn’t leave. You exiled me. There’s a difference." She said as she picked up her plate and walked over to her corner. She sat on the floor and continued eating. Was there something I was missing? Yeah, I brought her back and she’s literally living with me. There’s no reason why she would be mad at me. Well, there’s also the fact that she might have loved her little life.

But she couldn’t run away from her responsibility as my mate or rather, soon to be ex mate. Did she think I would let her go just like that? If she did then she was crazy. I mean, insane. Because she knew what’s she was doing when she didn’t accept my rejection and she was definitely shouldn’t even be angry that I exiled her. Did she expect that she would cheat and I would let her go scot free.
