The Lycan king-Chapter 35

*Leonora*

As the light streamed into the room, my eyes fluttered open. I turned over to look at the other side of the bed but there was no one there. Typical. Why did I expect more from Jax? After last night, I thought things would change. I closed my eyes and all I could think about was the events of last night.

I could remember how his strong hands pinned me down on the bed. Or how he kissed me as he slowly entered into me. I could remember how painful it felt and the way Jax’s eyes widened when he realized I was a virgin. I remembered the way he held him as he rocked his hips into mine like we were dancing to the same tune.

I could definitely remember the pleasure that consumed me. It overwhelmed me and I cried out in pleasure causing Jax to stop and hold me until me until I rode out every single wave of pleasure.

There was a frantic knock on the door and I pulled myself off the bed. My body was sore from last night but I honestly didn’t care. I searched around the room until I found my dress. I quickly threw it on and went over to the door. I pulled it open and Bethany rushed into the room, locking the door behind her.

"I snuck here as quickly as I could." She looked around the room and then her eyes settled on me. "Please tell me you didn’t sleep with Jax!"

"Okay, I didn’t sleep with Jax." I said sarcastically as I ran my hand through my hair and adjusted my dress. She obviously could tell that we slept together.

"This I so bad. Oh my gosh. What are we going to do now." Bethany said as she paced around the room. What was wrong with her? I slowly walked over to the bed. I couldn’t keep up with her mumbling.

"Beth! I don’t have time for this. Just tell me why you’re here!" I said as I laid down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. My body needed time to relax and rest.

"Jax is sending someone to kill you!" She blurted out and I sat up immediately. "I overhead someone talking about it. They said he had gotten you in his bed and you’ll be so distracted you won’t know what hit you. I couldn’t make out the rest of the conversation." I blinked a couple of times. This was a joke right? It was a prank. He told me he loves me.

"Beth, Jax wouldn’t do that. I promise you. He’s not as terrible as he used to be." I said and Bethany scoffed. Would Jax do this to me? He wouldn’t. He surely wouldn’t. Last night was different. It wasn’t a random fling. He loves me.

"Nora, open your eyes! Jax is clearly still taking advantage of the closeness between the both of you. Has he still taken back his rejection?" She asked and I knew the answer. Even in the heat of the moment he still didn’t recall his rejection. Was Bethany right? Was there someone out to get me? "If you don’t believe me, ask him why he didn’t take back his rejection."

"Beth, this is too much." I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose. This is so much information. Jax wanted me dead? Was that possible?

"I’ll give you time to process but please come and find before it’s too late. Shirley and I will seek a safe passage out of the pack." She said before she walked over to the door. She unlocked it and turned to look at me. "Please come and find me."

"I will." I answered her and she walked out. My heart hammered against my chest as I got up from the bed. Was I stupid enough to think that Jax would change? Was I stupid to think that he had actually fallen in love with me?

I stood up and paced around the room. I needed to be ready in case what Bethany was saying was true. I began to pick up my things from around the room. I wasn’t going to sit by and wait for Jax to kill me.

He realized I wasn’t going to accept his rejection so he’s sending someone after me. After telling me he loved me? Who does that?

I went to his closet and pulled out my box. I opened it and stuffed my items inside it. I needed to be far away from him. Far away from here. This is why I never wanted to come back. I knew Jax would do something like this.

Was he going to torture me until I accept his rejection before he finally kills me off. My heart clenched at the thought of Jax killing me. Maybe I didn’t want to die anymore. Maybe I wasn’t ready to sacrifice myself for revenge.

"I love you, Nora." I could remember him saying it as if it just happened. Those words rang in my ears and I felt tears gathered in my eyes. Just when I was finally starting to feel a little bit of normalcy.

All the memories of last night felt stale on my tongue. I just wanted out. I wanted to be free from Jax. I wanted to leave. I adjusted myself and prayed that I looked decent. I didn’t want anyone to think I was Jax’s plaything. Maybe that’s all he saw me as.

I heard the door open and I gasped. Jax walked into the room casually and I wanted to scream at him but there was nothing I could do.

"Where are you going with your bags?" He asked as he spotted my open box on the floor. "What’s going on?"

"Why didn’t you take back your rejection?" I asked and I visibly saw his body tense. Tears rolled out of my eyes and I hastily cleaned it off.

"Last night was everything I imagined but it doesn’t change anything. I don’t want you to be my Queen."
