The Lycan’s Human Mate

He gave me a more intense kiss. I moaned, my arousal increasing. He immediately put his tongue on my throat once I broke off the kiss, and I gasped. As his lips and tongue nibbled and sucked at my delicate skin, I moaned at how fantastic it felt. My grip on his biceps became tight.

When the cloud of desire seemed to be slowly drifting off me, I opened my mouth and spoke what I am sure sounded like a groan. “Wait…no…stop”

I was stunned by how forcefully those words flowed out of my mouth and even more stunned that he really backed away. However, he gave me a sarcastic look as if he knew I wasn’t really asking him to stop.

I step back, exhaling deeply as I lifted my shaky fingers and brushed my lips. I mumbled, glaring at him. “What do you think you’re doing?”

He took a step closer and used his thumb and forefinger gently gripping my chin. My head was forced to turn to face him as he held it still, keeping his eyes fixed on me. I could still feel his lips on me. My squeals of ecstasy, which were the sounds of my desire and need were still clear in my ears.

“The right question was what do you think we are doing, angel”

My face reddened as I scowled at him. He began to put his hands on my waist, moving them down toward the part of me that was wet for him.

“Why do you think you have this undeniable attraction to me? Why do you think your body wanted me right at this second?”

He may have given in after I shoved him away from me. “I don’t want to hear anything from you”

“I will tell it you if you agree to stay here”

“Do you think I was foolish to accept that bribe? I could care less about your so precious secret or any justification you have” I started to move towards the door but halted when he spoke once more.

“Stay for one week. I’ll show you that I genuinely like you, and I’ll vow to put your mind at ease. I will help you forget your ex-fiance, so stay. Stay with me”

As I continued to gaze into his eyes which were filled with so much hope and sincerity, I looked away, unable to hold such intensity. My hand balled into a fist and I yanked the door open. People began to stare at me as soon as I entered the diner while Kate, Sally, and Claire immediately went to my side but I simply looked at them and prodded across the room to the main door. I wanted to lock myself right now in my room.

Traian’s Pov

My fists tightened as I forced myself to restrain myself from pursuing her, throwing her against the wall, and claiming her. It’s hard to keep myself in check once she’s involved. She served as my drug and my unquenchable addiction. She can’t leave me for that reason. I’m not going to let it happen. She will stay here with me even if I have to resort to a different method if it will take her to stay here with me, to her rightful home. When Claire called and told me Jaidyn was leaving the town entirely, I felt as if my heart had been shattered. Claire questioned me about what I did to her and other things, but I was in such shock and disbelief that I couldn’t care less or respond. The fact that Jaidyn was leaving was just something that played on my mind at that moment and nothing else. I stayed in my house because I believed Claire’s assurances that she would do everything to keep Jaidyn here, yet I found myself here. Confronting her and kissing those soft and sinful lips of hers.

I reached into my jeans pocket and took my phone out. I should have given her a call sooner. The woman who knows about us and the concept of mates. The woman is my last resort in making Jaidyn stay with me. The wife of a cousin.

After five rings, someone picks up the call and as was to be expected, Jane Henderson’s vibrant voice can be heard. Her voice was ebbing with happiness and satisfaction. The thought of my mate being this happy and perhaps cheerful while carrying my child in her round belly pulled at my heart.

“Hey, Traian! How are you?”

“I’m good Jane. How about you and Jaxon?”

“We’re well, although I think your cousin was losing his mind because I wouldn’t take a leave of absence from work,” Jane said with a giggle. “Despite just being three months pregnant, Jaxon was being quite paranoid”

Given the circumstances surrounding Jane and her child, it was understandable. Shifters have this heightened sense of overprotectiveness when it comes to the pregnancy of our mates especially if our mate is human. However, history has shown that there was an excellent bond between humans and shifters, and every human mate was able to give birth to offspring without any issues. I can imagine myself being like my cousin if Jaidyn were pregnant with my child in the near future or….. soon.

“I guess he’s following you around everywhere.”

“You bet” she chuckled in the other line “So, why did you call? How’s my sister there, which I bet you know by now?”

I raked my hands through my hair as frustration rolled down my skin. “That’s exactly why I called”

“Oh my god! Is she alright? What happened to her?” she ranted, “I told her to be careful, oh my god, That girl”

Stressing a pregnant woman is unhealthy and risky so I spoke what I had intended in the first place. “She is my mate, Jane. Jaidyn Murray was my destined mate”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What……..” There was a sudden moment of stillness and tension in the other line.

I patiently waited even though my inner wolf was frustrated and agitated with every passing second. It wanted to tell Jane our plan directly and to know her answer which I am confident that she will agree with.

“Have you told her already?” Her tone was hesitant and anxious.

I sighed frustratedly, shaking my head. “No, I did not”

There came a sigh of relief on the other line, “Thank goodness. My sister….. just came from a breakup. These types of realities, which are entirely at odds with everything she believes, will only make things difficult for her.”

My jaw is tense. My voice was grim when I spoke, “She threatened to leave, Jane despite the attraction she has with me and my pack”

“That’s…….”

“I contacted you because I wanted to let you know that after a week, I’ll tell her that she was my mate and about our kind”

“One week is not enough, Traian. Listen, my sister always sticks to her rules, no matter how you entice her, she will not stay there”

She’s my mate, my female, Jane,” I snarl, my eyes threatening to shift to gold to signify that I’m struggling to contain my inner beast. “You should know better than anybody else that we cannot let our mate abandon us or run away. I will not let her”

“She’s not your prisoner!”

I inhale deeply to calm myself down and say, “But she’s mine, Jane, and I will not let her leave my side. And if it means that I need to tell her that she was mate and was a descendant of the family that promised to shifters for her to understand that she needs to stay, then so be it”

“You cannot tell her that, she was not yet ready!”
