The Lycan’s Human Mate

Traian’s Pov

I promised myself that when the time was perfect, I would take her through the entire estate. Once I had her, everything would go smoothly.

She looked back at me and said, “I do have to go now. Thank you for escorting me here.”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

I gestured for her to go ahead of me and said, “Let me take you there. Your house is only a short walk away, and I can’t let you walk in the woods alone.”

“How did you find out where I reside?” With a grimace, she questioned.

I can’t claim that I monitor her cabin every night, so I’ll just answer, “There’s only a limited area here where houses are built, so I figured you came from there.”

She seems reluctant, and I can smell it. However, I was relieved when she finally nodded and proceeded onto the trail. But it only lasts for a moment when one of my pack mates lets out a huge, rumbling roar, breaking the forest’s silence. She swung around, her eyes wide with fear.

“It’s nothing. Wild beasts are many in the wilderness that surround the estate. They won’t dare approach.”

She pressed her brows together and whispered, “But Claire told me that this part is safe and that there were no wild animals.”

“Occasionally, they wind up here,” I pointed to the trail and remarked, drawing her attention away from the noises, “After you, kitten.”

She didn’t reply to the remark because, most likely, she was still too surprised by what she had just heard. Her dread, however, lessened as we moved nearer, and she started to show more enthusiasm for the view. Her reddish-brown hair caught the sun’s rays in such a way that it gave her a flaming glow. As I watched the air tease those strands and send the most lovely aroma to my nose, my entire body tensed. It was impossible for me not to want her body.

Every night I watch her cabin from a distance. As I drew nearer to her residence every night, my fellow pack members began to understand what she meant to me. Perhaps it’s because of Claire’s enthusiasm for sharing the news, which she owed to her brother. Jaidyn was my mate, and everyone knew it. Shifters are used to having human mates, so they accept our union cheerfully and rejoice behind her back.

I saw her from a distance as she ran through the forest yesterday and was surprised by how responsive and perceptive she is. I only intended to watch her wander into my domain; I didn’t plan to scare her. But I did. Thankfully, Claire and the others were able to brighten her day by going to the bar that day. I was already smitten with her, but last night made me feel much more so. My dreams are filled with the feel of her skin and the groans she uttered in the bar. She was everything I desired. I yearned to hold her in my arms and hear her sweet voice.

She suddenly said, “This place is amazing.”

She would soon realize that this place is also her home. “It has been in my family for ages.”

“Do you have family around here? Do they live in your home?”

I wanted her to understand who I was. But not right now. The statement that she had no intention of residing here caused my inner wolf to shiver in dread that she would abandon me-us. And telling her about what I really am will do nothing to make her stay.

“There is just me in this place.”

“Do you not have a wife or girlfriend?”

“I don’t have any of it since I’m waiting for someone,” I said, looking directly at her emerald eyes.

She looked away and bit her lower lip, nodding. My gaze followed her as her luscious lips curled over her teeth for a brief moment. Whether she noticed or not didn’t matter to me, I want her to know that I am attracted to her and that I desire her.

For a while, we kept moving forward while remaining silent. After asking Cayden about her name the night I also discovered her presence in my pack, I learned that she was the younger sister of Jane Henderson. The wife of my cousin. I feel compelled to look into her background in order to learn more about her personality, interests, and personal history. I felt a new glimmer of hope when I learned that she hails from a family with deep ties to shifters. Her older sister was likewise a shifter’s mate. I also want to call her to let her know that her younger sister is my mate. She might help me make her sister stay with me.

But as a result of that action, I also found out that she was planning to wed a human she had been in a relationship with for eight years the next year. Although it may sound harsh, I am happy that her ex-fiance has already distanced himself from her, because I am certain that I would do whatever to get him to give up what is rightfully mine.

Despite the fact that I knew why she came here. “What brought you to this place?”

She paused for a moment and sighed after, “Uhm…. to heal…. no, to forget actually”

She smiled, but I could see it was strained. That man-her ex-fiance-was someone she had loved-a human. I was stung by the idea that she had loved him up to this point. This merely served as confirmation that it could be more challenging than I had assumed.

“A human,” I said somewhat grimly.

“Uhm… Yes, my ex-fiance,” she said after a brief second of confusion, “This was supposed to be a trip with him, but he broke it up, so I came here by myself, a terribly foolish choice. But I am starting to appreciate this place, it’s very relaxing here.”

I added, “And I thank him for that,” as I turned to face her.

She laughed and asked, “Why would you thank him for ditching me?”

“Because you ended up here and I was able to find you.”

She looked away from me and glanced around. “Are you not lonely and bored here?”

My lips curled into a grin. “No, the residents of Grevis Town are my family, which may be why my father thought I would be fine when he left me.”

I looked at her and saw that she was listening very intently, so I continued, “My father left only a week after suffering a broken heart because he couldn’t live without my mother, who died in a horrific accident.”

She paused and looked at me, “My condolences for your loss,” her eyes displaying her sadness for me.

“It’s okay. It was a very long time ago,” or to be more precise, 200 years ago. “My mother and father were soulmates, so when he lost her, he also lost the person who mattered the most to him. He couldn’t handle it.”

Her green eyes shone with sympathy as she continued, “I’m really sorry to hear that.” Her voice was low and sorrowful, adding, “I cannot comprehend that pain. Being betrayed by someone I felt to be my soulmate was awful enough.”

“He wasn’t your soul mate because if he were, he wouldn’t betray you,” I firmly asserted, attempting to conceal my jealousy and possessiveness.

She bitterly said, “But I treat him like one.”

I wished I could simply hold her while giving her a tender kiss and tell her to forget about that human. To alleviate the hurt she was experiencing from an unworthy man. And I was ready to do just that when she accidentally tripped because of a large root that had sprung from the earth. In a matter of seconds, I was holding her in my arms, her body nestled against mine, and my whole body was buzzing with excitement at how wonderful this felt.

She gave me a startled expression as she rose to her feet. “Thank you,” she mumbled.

“I’ll always catch you,” I said.

Jaidyn cleared her throat and started walking quietly again. Shortly after, we were in town. I gestured for her to step in front of me. She turned to look in my direction with a captivating smile on her face. “Thank you for accompanying me here,”

I had to convince myself that it would be wise to leave and maybe wait until she got back to her cabin from a distance.

“It’s nothing. I enjoy walking with you.”

Her cheeks began to flush, and I was tempted to kiss her. However, I decided to give her a wave before turning around and walking away.

I’ll soon be able to do whatever I have in my mind to her.

Soon…..
