The Lycan’s Human Mate

When I open my eyes, soft light enters through a little gap in the drapes and slants toward the bed. I’m wrapped up in a cozy down duvet and a nest of blankets. Rolling over, I reach out to him with my arms stretched out. But the cold material was the only thing I had started to notice. I rubbed my eyes and sat up. He may have left already.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

My attention was then drawn to a tray that was placed on the nightstand. I went over to it and took the yellow note.

I left early due to an emergency meeting I needed to attend.

If you wish to visit the town today, Cayden will fetch you.

Enjoy your breakfast, beautiful. I will meet you later.

-Traian

My lips curled into a soft smile as I read the message. My stomach started to grumble as soon as I opened the lid and saw the trout toast with scrambled eggs and sliced strawberries. I brewed a coffee for myself and ate the meal before getting in the shower. For some reason, I felt so good and relaxed today. Perhaps as a result of my peaceful sleep.

After getting dressed and applying a little makeup, I grabbed my bag and made sure my money was in it since I intended to dine outside if I got bored and perhaps take a stroll through the town.

Then I heard a vehicle outside and then a honk shortly after that. It’s got to be Cayden. Before leaving the house, I made sure to close the windows.

Outside, there was a black colored ranger car. And Cyaden’s face with his beautifully styled dark blonde hair then emerged on the window. He gave me a wave. After turning around to make sure the door was locked, I grinned and waved in return.

I then walked over to the car. “Hey”

“Thank you for taking me to the Townsquare,” I said, entering the already-opened car door.

“No problem, I am just on my way there as well. I agreed when Traian asked me if I could take you there with me.” He began to drive away from the area, saying, “He had an emergency meeting regarding his company today so I think he will not be able to accompany you for the whole day”

I’m not sure why he was explaining, but all I could do was nod. Oh, it’s okay, I thought, but then I wondered, “He has a company?”

Cayden nodded, “He has and it was a big corporation”

I said quietly, “That explains why he has such costly clothing.”

Cayden laughed, “That man was extremely wealthy,” and then turned to look at me, saying, “I’m so delighted you two are getting along again with each other.”

I playfully said, “Can I say I am too.”

“Do you intend to stay here permanently?”

I chuckle as I remark, “I didn’t anticipate that,” as his inquiry threw me off guard.

I could tell it was a serious matter when he continued to be silent. I said with a shrug, “I don’t really.”

“Not once at all?”

“This was simply a short vacation for me. And my life was in the US rather than here,” I frankly said, “I don’t consider it. Everything was temporary till my parents arrived here”

Simply nodding and saying, “That’s really sad news,” Cayden added a little grimace.

After that, there was a moment of silence, so I went to gaze outside to keep myself occupied while soaking up the beauty of the woods as it basked in the sun’s warmth.

Cayden was a kind man and a nice friend. Also, I did not want to sugarcoat the answer given his serious face when answering the question. Even though Grevis Town was a wonderful place with great people, I don’t really imagine moving here. I am aware that my life was lived elsewhere in the globe.

Cayden abruptly asked, grabbing my attention, “By the way, what will you do at the town square?”

I gave it some thought and stated, “The truth is, I want to go to the store Adam guided me over to where he connected to the internet, and also go straight to the library of your town.”

“Adam?”

“Yes. Um, he’s also on vacation, and I just so happened to see him here on my way,” I said.

He muttered something that I partially missed, “Lara’s mate.”

Mate? Did I grasp that correctly?

I frowned “I’m sorry, what?”

He shakes his head, “Nothing, although I believe I heard his name mentioned regarding the incident in Michael’s diner. The one with the camera, right? ”

My eyes grew wide “Yes. Did you hear about that? ”

That drama will undoubtedly spread swiftly in this small town, Jaidyn, that much is obvious.

“Yes. Everyone, I think”

“Oh my gosh, that’s embarrassing,” I murmured.

“It’s okay since surely everything will be a big deal when it comes to you,” he laughed, placing one palm idly on the driving wheel.

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing”

However, I’m not done yet. Something nagged in my mind that has a double meaning to it. “Seriously, Cayden, what-”

“We’re here” he announced.

I peeked outside and saw that we had already parked in front of the business with a prominent name at the top: PYC STORE where Adam pointed me the other day.

“Wait, how did you know this is the place?”

He unbuckled his seat belt as I did. “Even though many of the shops in this area provide internet access, here is the well-known location where our town’s residents lead travelers who wish to connect to the internet by only paying a very small amount of money”

We stepped outside and I walked over to him as he added.

“As far as I know even Traian has” he faced me with a raised brow, “You didn’t ask him?”

I shook my head and turned my gaze elsewhere so he wouldn’t catch a clue of my lies. “I only need to email my coworker something, but I don’t want to ask for a pointless wifi connection since I don’t want him to think I’m some type of city girl who can’t live without the internet”

“I don’t think he will ever think of you negatively”

“Please, don’t tell him about this,” I begged.

“Okay, you have my word. I won’t tell him this,” he said with a smile and a nod.

“Thank you,”

We walked towards the store and he opened the door, holding it out for me. As we walked in, we were greeted by the sights of gadgets and a wide variety of mechanical products including different parts and accessories. The customers inside all turned their heads to look at us and lingered a bit longer on me.

Someone yelled, “Beta Cayden,” as a middle-aged bloke appeared from the door.

The nickname or alias makes me frown involuntarily. Beta? That’s odd. I had never before heard somebody refer to someone in that way. Before turning to face the man, Cayden gave me a quick sidelong glance while wearing a serious expression.

His voice changed as he said, “I’m with someone.” It seemed quite controlled.
