TREASON
Layla held on tight to the car as Nolan drove as fast as he could.
She kept worrying about him because he was shot, but he had warned her to stay quiet and he also looked fine.
She was tempted to ask where they were going because as far as she was concerned, the route he was taking was not the way back to the hotel.
“Get my phone” he instructed, breaking Layla out of her stream of thoughts. She hastily began to search for his phone which she handed over to him.
Nolan collected the phone from Layla as he unlocked it. He went through his call log as he searched for Xander’s number. He immediately dialed in the number when he found it.
“Nolan!” Xander’s surprised voice rang through the speakers after the first dial.
“Where are you?” Nolan questioned as he heard a lot of noise from the background.
“I’m at a club” came Xander’s reply.
“Get out of there immediately!” Nolan instructed.
“Alright, on it” Xander responded, he could hear the urgency in Nolan’s voice.
“I’m out, do you need anything?” Xander asked after coming out of the club.
“Yes”
“What’s that? And how’s your trip going?” Xander queried walking over to his car.
“How is Layla doing? Do you still plan on rejecting her? It’s almost midnight” Xander blabbed non-stop as Nolan growled in anger.
“Stop asking baseless questions and listen!” He yelled as Layla glanced sharply at him wondering why he was always in a bad mood.
“What happened? Why did you sound tense, wait” Xander gasped as if he just realized something.
“Did anything happen between you and Layla?” He asked with a sly grin on his face.
“Come over to Seattle immediately ” Nolan instructed, ignoring Xander’s questions. Knowing the kind of friend he had and how sly he tended to be. He would never stop trying to get on his nerves.
“Why is there anything you want me to do?”
“Yes, I want you to help me catch a certain someone” Nolan began. Hayes would never go scot free. He only let him go, because he had to get Layla to safety, but that didn’t mean Hayes was safe. He would suffer forever thinking that he could take him.
“Who’s it?” Xander asked curiously.
“Hayes Keith” replied Nolan.
“The one you’re supposed to have a business meeting with right?” Xander asked in confusion as he wondered why Nolan wanted him to fly over to Seattle to catch a person. When he’s right there in Seattle. He should just catch Hayes himself unless something was up.
“Yes, it happened that he had ulterior motives, he tried to kill me” Nolan informed as he scoffed inwardly at the thought of the fact that Hayes actually thought of killing him. What a fool!
He swore to break Hayes Keith bones once he laid his hands on him, his story will be a lesson for others who are planning to rebel against him.
“What?? Is Layla alright?” Xander squealed, getting into his car in a hurry.
“Yes, she’s fine” Nolan replied, sparing a glance at Layla who sat quietly.
“Good” Xander breathed out in relief. He was worried about Layla, not Nolan. Nolan could take care of himself but not Layla.
“Where are you guys now?”
“I’m driving, I’m going over to my lake house” Nolan replied, he was sure Hayes and his men had lost track of him.
But he couldn’t return back to the hotel. Hayes must have an idea about the hotel he lodged at and might try something stupid.
“Okay, I’ll get back at you once I get a hold of Hayes, ok already working on his current location” Xander uttered typing on his laptop.
“Give me a phone call when you get a hold of him..”
“I will, please keep Layla safe” Xander pleaded but Nolan ignored him as usual and just disconnected the call.
After disconnecting the call, he went ahead to call his Beta, Darren.
“Yes, Alpha” Darren said on picking the call up.
He was the serious minded one.
“How’s everything going on in the pack?” Nolan questioned, if Hayes tried harming him he can also try harming his pack.
“Good and peaceful” came Darren’s reply.
“Is anything the problem?”
“Not really, tighten the security around the pack and watch out for Hayes Keith, imprison everyone in his pack” Nolan instructed. Hayes happened to be the brother of a werewolf Alpha.
“Everyone?”
“Yes, everyone including the Alpha, everyone…” Nolan deadpanned. Hayes just committed a grave sin and his family will pay for his sins.
“If I may ask, what’s the reason for this arrest?”
“Treason, he attempted murder on the life of the supreme Alpha” he informed.
“Alright I’m on it, I’ll get my men ready ” Darren assured as Nolan disconnected the call.
Layla just sat in confusion and bewilderment, just tonight her eyes had seen a lot of things that she couldn’t even talk about or even knew existed.
Nolan growing fangs, werewolves, packs and all.
Could it be that they really existed? She thought it was just all a fairy tale but she has witnessed a lot of things today that she had no choice but to believe.
Nolan had been shot, twice. But he looked just fine and was driving. If it was a normal human, that person would have dropped dead a long time ago but he looked just fine.
She wondered how he had been managing with a gunshot and what the hell a pack was?.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Si..” she began as she wanted to ask about his health, though he looked like he has been managing just fine. She still needed to ask.
He glanced at her, telling her to shut up with his eyes, Layla immediately held back, she should have just minded her business. Nolan was a huge force to reckon with.
