The Lycan king-Chapter 88

*Leonora*

The drive back from the clinic was silent. I should be happy, ecstatic even but I didn’t know how to feel. There must be something wrong with my mind, right? Other people would be happy about the result they wanted but why wasn’t I? I wished the results were the opposite of what we got because nothing could explain why I wasn’t getting pregnant.

"At least we’re both fertile and clean." Jax joked in a bid to fill up the space in the car. I didn’t even want to talk. I just wanted to go back to the apartment and sulk. I couldn’t necessarily tell him how I felt because he wouldn’t understand. His mind doesn’t work the way mine does and it would always be that way. He wouldn’t understand the pressure that the council put on me. They literally pointed out that my only role is to pop out children for Jax and I should get pregnant as soon as possible. He wouldn’t understand that all of this was for his benefit and legitimacy to the throne and I was merely an object.

Jax lifted up my hand, which was intertwined in his, and held it up to his mouth. He placed a kiss on my knuckles as he stared at the road. I sighed and looked out the window, not wanting to hold a conversation with him.

"I know you’re not in a good mood but we have to talk about it." Jax announced as the car began to slow down at the sight of the red light. It finally came to a halt and Jax turned to me. "You have to be honest with me. Do you want a baby now?" He asked me and I nodded still looking away. "Then we can start actively trying for one."

"Are you sure you’re ready?" I asked again, this time, turning to looking at him. "I’m not sure I’m ready and if I do get pregnant now, I would need your support more than anything in this world." I said to him. He pulled my hand making me move closer to him.

"I will never leave your side. This is a promise to you and our baby." He assured me and I smiled. "Give me a kiss and you’ll feel better." I leaned closer and placed my lips on his. Before we could go further, I heard the sounds of cars honking making us pull away. We laughed at the sound as Jax started the car and we drove off. I felt a lot more better than I originally did.

"I really can’t wait for you to get pregnant. I can’t imagine how grumpy you’ll be. You already think a lot and I’m pretty sure it might get worse. Or maybe you’ll start craving random food. I’ll be your chef so you don’t have to stress yourself in the kitchen." Jax rambled and I smiled. I placed my hand on his thigh as he drove and a small smirk appeared on his face.

"Do you even know how to cook?" I asked and he rolled his eyes at me. "I’m serious. I will not let you poison us."

"I’ll have you know that I can boil some water and make eggs and toast." He said proudly. "I make the meanest eggs and toast. Ask Claire." If it were before, I would have thrown a fit over this statement but I was over it. I knew their relationship was just friendly even if Claire wanted it to be more than that. Besides I trusted him. He had told me time and time again to trust him and if I couldn’t there wasn’t any need for me to be with him. It would be that I was just waiting for the next disappointment.

"She’s your best friend. She’ll always take your side." I said. "Tell me it not sunny side ups?" I asked and he gave me a cheeky smile before turning to the road. "I hate it. I only like omelets. I once had an incident with eggs when I was younger. I fell and landed on some eggs. It was disgusting. I have hated eggs since then."

"No eggs for you then." He said. "We should go out tonight. Celebrate our next few weeks of trying for a baby. One night of debauchery." He suggested and I smiled. "One night of good fun, drinking, wild sex and partying."

"I honestly wouldn’t mind that. It will get our minds off everything for just a little bit." I said and he smiled as we got closer to the apartment complex. I still found it crazy tat Jax bought the whole building. I never asked him why he did that or when he did. It would be scary if he did it while I was living here but I didn’t want to go down that road with hm. My mind was on other things now and anything that happened before we got together was all in the past.

Jax leaned into my ear as the car stopped in front of my apartment. "Thank the goddess I told you to bring that dress." He opened his car door and came down from the car. I opened my door and before I could move, the door slammed shut. Jax stood at the other side with a cheeky smile. He opened it again, this time giving me a little bow as I came down from the car.

"A lady never opens any door especially when her man is there." He stated. "Why don’t you go up. I’ve got some calls to make. Tell Bethany and Devon about our plans. I don’t mind leaving them but I know you’ll want to party with your friends." Jas ordered before leaning down and giving me a peck on my lips. "Now go inside and get sexy for me."

"You wish." I said as I rolled my eyes and feigned sassiness. I don’t know who he thought he was by ordering me around.
