Chapter 37

"What do you mean by no?" Layla stuttered in exasperation.

"I've been drugged.." he informed and Layla fell back to the ground.

Tonight was really a long night, it has been this after that.

"Drugged?" She raised a brow at him.

As she wondered what drugs they might have used on him and when they drugged him.

"Yes.." Nolan confirmed gritting his teeth in anger.

He could feel the aphrodisiac running his veins.

And he knew exactly when he had consumed it.

It was definitely when he drank the wine that Hayes offered him, a wine that contained aphrodisiac.

It dawned unto him that Hayes had other tricks up his sleeve.

"It's not bad right?" Layla stammered, if it was just drugs, he could just sleep and when he wakes up the drugs would wear off, or better still soak himself in cold water.

"They're not just normal drugs Layla.." he drew out sucking his teeth. He needed to find a woman as soon as possible.

"Then what are they?" She asked, seeing his discomfort, she could tell that it was serious.

He had a worried look on his face and it was so unlike Nolan to be worried.

He always had a passive look on his face that you wouldn't know what he was thinking about.

"Aphrodisiac.." he replied in a low tone.

"That shouldn't be an issue right? I've read about aphrodisiacs before, you can get out of your system easily"

"All you have to do is soak yourself in cold water.." she informed as that was the only thing she could think of.

Nolan listened with rapt attention as she spoke then he laughed in ridicule when she was done.

"You're so naive Layla " he commented, she was oblivious about the deceit of the world and thought everything would go on smoothly. What she wasn't aware of was that in life, things usually didn't turn out the way you wanted it to be.

"I'm not naive, I'm just trying to help.." she voiced out. Though he always scolded her, she still cared for him.

No matter how bad a person would treat her, she would always care for that person. Like the likes of Rosalie and her daughter scarlet.

Layla was never the kind to wish her enemy dead.

"Your help is not helping" he stated and she bit her lips in frustration. Now she felt like passing out.

She didn't want him to tell her to tear him open and bring out something.

"Hope I'm not burning or tearing you open?" She raised a brow at him, because she wasn't sure she would last if she did that.

"No.."

"Hayes must have added something to the wine he offered.." Nolan informed and all Layla could say was thank God.

If Nolan hadn't stopped her earlier, she would have drank from it too and then be in the same shoes with him.

Then the life of her child will be endangered.

"This was part of his plan afterall.." Nolan mumbled, the plan was to render him totally weak and useless.

Then when he tried to escape, Hayes aimed for Layla's life. In case the drug started having its effects. There would be no way out for him.

"What plan?"

"The plan to render me useless as you can see, the drug is already getting effective.." he explained. He needed to get out of this place immediately. His only remedy was a woman.

"What kind of drug is this? as long as it's a drug, I'm sure there will be an antidote?" Layla reasoned. There would definitely be an antidote.

"It's a drug specially designed for werewolves, it's a very strong drug and my only remedy is a woman.." he replied, keeping his eyes on her.

"A woman?" Layla frowned.

"How will a woman be the remedy to this?" She pointed out, seeing no reason why he needed a woman. A woman didn't even fit into the matter.

"I need a woman to f*ck" he said bluntly with a raw voice and Layla mouthed an OH.

That was what he meant.

"Is there no other remedy?" She asked as she didn't want him to go out at night to look for a woman. Where will he find one by this time of the night?

"No, if I don't relieve myself of this intensifying sexual desire I might." His voice trailed off and he fixed his eyes on Layla.

"You might what?" Layla gulped loudly as a huge bump went down her throat. Wild thoughts running through her head.

Her thoughts were that he would lose it, then pin her to the wall like a beast and use her however he liked.

"You might what?" She asked again as her heart raced.

"I would be paralyzed" he said as his lips curved up in mischief.

That was definitely not the answer she was expecting.

But that was what would happen to him, if he didn't get a woman quick.

"Oh.." Layla mouthed and realization dawned on her.

She was literally thinking in an opposite direction.

"How are you going to find a woman?" She questioned curiously, it was late.

It would be hard to find someone.

"I will, Xander can take care of that" he replied.

"Get me a shirt from the first room on the right.." he instructed as Layla stilled.

"I'm sure you can stay alone till tomorrow, I'll be sure to come back to get you soon, I'll bring you a meal when coming.." he promised. She had suffered a lot today for his sake. And it was only right if he repaid her kindness.

"No need, I can make myself something" she waved him off and he shook his head.

"Good, you'll find some foodstuffs in the fridge.." he informed making his way to stand up he needed to leave immediately.

"Get me the shirt.." he ordered but Layla just kept staring into utter space, when she suddenly held him back to the ground.

She thought long about it and she didn't want him to leave and go to someone else.

"What do you" Nolan was interrupted as Layla suddenly slammed her lips on his.
