The Lycan king-Chapter 95

*Jax*

I watched as Leonora walked away from me. It felt like a piece of me was leaving. It always felt like that whenever she left me but my pride wouldn’t let me run after her. My pride wouldn’t let me tell her that I was sorry instead it was easier to push her away.

There was no reason for me talking to her today but I was just trying to get us to talk more without saying it. I missed her so badly. My room was empty, her clothes were gone, her side of the bed was always made, and most of all there was silence. There was no laughter or her murmuring things in her sleep. She was no longer nagging at me for stealing the blanket at night. She was no longer taking my shirts whenever she pleased. There was no more late night or early morning cuddle session. All I had was my pillow and silence.

I wanted her back but I couldn’t stop thinking of the way Micah held her in his arms or the way she let that man grope her in the club. I didn’t think she was going to dance with that stranger. I thought she would stay by my side and force me to dance with her. I would have danced with her. She was already teasing me with the way she was whispering in my ear and grinding her hips on mine. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

When she walked away from me that night, I went back into the club to get Devon, Bethany and Micah. I knew she wouldn’t have gone far so as we came out, I searched for her. She wasn’t on the street it seemed like she vanished. After searching for a while, Devon decided we should go back to the apartment so wait for her. And I did. I waited for her for a couple of minutes until a car pulled up. I watched as the inner lights came on and I could clearly see her laughing and fawning over the man. They hugged and she came down from the car. She looked like she wanted to say something and I honestly didn’t know what to say to her so I just went to the apartment.

I needed my space.

After that, she stayed away. I don’t even think she remembers the way she and that man acted. Like they were an old time couple.

I shook my head and headed straight for Claire. I had so much to tell her. I knocked on her door and waited until it opened. I immediately pushed myself into the room as she closed the door.

"I think Leonora is pregnant." I blurted out. I started suspecting after last night. Things were different and she was different.

"Did she tell you?" She asked me as she walked to her bed and sat down. I began pacing around the room.

"No, she didn’t but I saw some test sticks and she lied to me. She lied when I asked if it was hers." I rushed out. "I don’t know why she’s hiding it from me."

"Is there any other thing that’s making you think she’s pregnant?" She asked me again. I knew she thought I was stupid and I was jumping into conclusions but I know my Leo.

"I know she would hate me talking about this but we had sex last night and she asked for the lights to be turned off. She has also been a bit bloated. I know that’s not a solid proof but I know Leo’s body like the back of my hand. I know. She’s pregnant and she doesn’t want to tell me." I rushed out my observation. I know I definitely looked crazy but it didn’t matter to me. I just wanted to share this with someone and if Leonora didn’t want to talk to me, then Claire was my only option.

"Jax." She called me and I stopped in my tracks. "Have you tried to talk to her?" I shook my head. "Try talking to her first but then again I’m not sure if she’ll want to talk to you because you guys have been avoiding yourselves. What happened during your get away?"

"Claire, I don’t want to talk about it." I immediately threw at her. "I’ve told you multiple times not to ask and you keep asking."

"Because there is a lot of tension in the mansion. Everyone is kind of walking on eggshells around the both of you and it’s exhausting." Claire said and I rolled my eyes. It wasn’t that bad besides Leonora mostly stayed in her room while I mostly stayed in the living room. Sleeping without Leonora was like going for war. I tossed and turned and sleep wouldn’t ever find me.

"Don’t ever bring it up." I warned her and she nodded. "The important thing is that she’s pregnant and she is hiding it from me."

"Talk to her and see what ever she says. She might not be pregnant. Maybe she’s just binge eating in sadness." Claire suggested and I sighed. She did have a point. I couldn’t tell if she was eating a lot as we were no longer eating together. I felt like a deflated balloon. I was excited for the pregnancy but realizing that she might not actually be pregnant was heart breaking. I really wanted to start a family with her. I know it felt rushed but I wanted us to have our own family. There were rooms in this mansion reserved for my children and I wanted them filled up. I wanted to have mini Leo and mini Mes running around the house.

"You’re right. I’m probably just jumping into conclusions. The baby talk is getting into my head." I said as I walked towards Claire and sat beside her. "I’ve heard that a baby solves problems."

"You heard wrong. A baby amplifies whatever is there." She said. "So if you and Leonora are not on good terms, say goodbye to your relationship when the baby comes."
