The Lycan king-Chapter 62

*Leonora*

"I, Leonora, reject you, Jax."

It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders but sadness filled the space that it left. I was tired of having to deal with Jax and his trust issue. I just wanted everything to end.

"Take it back." Jax ordered and I pursed my lips. I wasn’t going to and he could tell with the way I was standing with my shoulders squared. "Leo, take it back!"

"No, I will not. I can’t be with someone that never listens to me. I think it would be better if we both go our own ways. You have Claire and I might be lucky to find someone else." I explained and he huffed. I tried to walk to the door but he blocked me from getting past him.

"Take it back or you’re not leaving." He ordered and I scoffed. I walked over to the bed and sat down. I didn’t have the energy to keep up with this drama. "Leo! Don’t do this. It’s normal for couple to have misunderstandings."

"Yeah misunderstandings like which side of the bed to sleep on or the placement of the shampoo bottle on the shelf, not about the fact that your best friend tried to kill me." I retorted. "Besides we are not a couple!"

There was silence. I turned to look out the window but there was nothing to look at as the curtains were shut. There was so much I wanted to say and yet I didn’t have the strength to. If he really wanted Claire, he should go after her and leave me alone. I have finally given him the opportunity to call the shots about our rejection but he’s refusing.

I felt the bed dip and after a few seconds, I felt his hands on my shoulder, massaging my shoulders and my neck. "I’m sorry for saying that you’re insane. Please take back the rejection. Please my love." He said as I felt him kiss my cheek and my neck. I got up, pulling myself away from him and turned to him. He quickly adjusted himself until he was seated on the bed.

"Jax, you told me to leave and I want to go. I’m honestly pretty tired and I would love to just go back to my room." I said followed by a knock on the door. I didn’t have to think twice about who was at the door. He motioned for me to keep quiet and to go to his bathroom. Was this what I was turning into? His mistress?

I walked over to the bathroom and closed the door, leaving a gap for me to be able to see what was going on. Claire walked into the room and they spoke briefly but from the way she touched him, I could tell there was still something there. He didn’t end things with her. I tried to listen to their conversation but it was hard to hear them as they were talking loudly.

As soon as she left, I stepped out of the bathroom with my hands folded. "Why did you lie to me?" I questioned and his eyes widened. Did he think I was stupid and I wouldn’t be able to tell? "Why did you tell me that you told her not to come close to you?"

"I did tell her." He said as his voice went up a pitch higher than usual. "She just came to ask me if I wanted to join her for a movie and I said no."

"Then why did you tell me to hide in the bathroom?" I asked and he took a deep breath, giving himself ample time to come up with an excuse. Did he really think I was stupid?

"I don’t like when she’s mean to you. I understand that she’s just doing her job but she has been unnecessarily mean." He pointed out and I scoffed. I don’t know why but realizing that Jax lied to me was enough for me. I didn’t have any interest in hearing what else he had to say. I just wanted to go to my room. "Leo, please listen to me."

"Like you’ve been listening to me all these while?!" I asked completely shocked at his statement. He could tell that what he was saying affected me and as I moved to the door, he didn’t stop me.

"Leo, I’m sorry that today didn’t turn out as planned. I really hope you can give me another chance to make it up to you." He said and I paused in front of the, my hand holding on to the door knob. "I promise I will do everything right next time. I was actually feeling a bit under the weather and I didn’t plan properly."

"It’s not about planning properly. You weren’t listening to me and you are lying to me. You and Claire still have something going on and if you do, there is no place for us." And with that, I opened the door and walked away. I didn’t want to look back. I didn’t want to see his face and change my mind. I was going to stand firm in my decisions.

Everywhere was pitch dark as I walked back to my room. Usually by this time, everyone would be asleep but seeing as we weren’t working, I could still hear people talking. As I got to the front door, I noticed some figures standing by the door. I felt my breath hitch in my chest and my heart pounding against my chest.

"If it isn’t Jax’s whore." I head one of the figures say. I could easily tell it was a girl and her voice sounded familiar.

"I’m not his whore." I defended myself, stopping before I got close to them. One of them walked towards me and I could easily make out that it was Rachel, the same girl who had been sleeping with Jax.

"Who do you think you are to talk back at me?" She said as she lifted her hand. I braced myself for the impact but I felt nothing.
