The Lycan’s Human Mate

I sprang out of the chair with such force that it made a screeching sound. My heart was beating wildly against my chest, and my hands were shaking. Sweats lingered on my forehead.

Tears burn in my eyes as I bite my lower lip.

I murmured to myself, as I had been doing for the past two hours, “Take a deep breath, take a deep breath Jaidyn. This is not real at all.”

I’m not sure how much time has gone, but I was on the verge of removing every book written in Greek from the last shelf. And it describes and offers the same information over and over again. A piece of information I refused to accept. Because it’s not true. Exactly what I had spent hours repeating to myself.

I pull the last book with the title Secrets of Time from the shelf. My hand gripped the book tighter as it was the same book Traian had in his home. I went through its pages. After 30 minutes, I felt like I was reading the first book I picked in this room when I already read and browsed almost 15 books.

My legs started to quiver and I sank to the ground, feeling as though my energy had left my body. The book dropped with a loud thud.

Shifters are people that are half wolf, half man. They existed as one. They are human beings with the ability to transform into wolves. They are around, blending with humans. Nobody can tell them apart since they are human-like in every way except for their ability to transform into werewolves. They are exhibiting characteristics of wolf animals as they were living in a pack. Their Alpha serves as their leader, and they also have Beta, Gamma, and Delta.

Not only that, but they also revere a divinity known as the moon goddess. The moon goddess bestowed mates on shifters. A long time ago, a human and an alpha shifter fell in love, forging a strong tie between the two worlds.

And because of this, the moon goddess picked humans to be mated to werewolves. The tradition continues for a million years.

All human households adhere to the custom of a shifter mating with a human.

Mates are like fated ones for shifters. They are connected and the half-soul of each other. Due to the intense and irrefutable attraction that binds them together, they can quickly identify one another. It was an immediate emotion that brought both individuals immense satisfaction and happiness. An Alpha’s mate was referred to as Luna. Together, they lead a pack.

As I thought about the specifics I picked out, tears started to fall down my face. And each time it does, it brings back memories I have of this place.

Exactly like when I came here for the first time. I was drawn to the town in a certain way. How some folks seemed to recognize me when they stared at me. the overwhelming attraction I felt to Traian when we first met. the way an elderly woman once referred to me as Luna The manner in which they spoke and approached me. Similar to how Cayden was referred to as a Beta yesterday, Traian was referred to as an Alpha.

Traian was their leader. Traian was their Alpha. Grevis Town was a pack of shifters. And maybe most importantly, it makes me think that I might be Traian’s mate.

My cry turned into a sob. I find it hard to believe. I refused to believe it. As tears streamed down my cheeks, my fist tightened.

With all the information I gathered I never felt so betrayed in my whole life. This is the secret Traian will tell me. I am aware of why I am hurt, of why I am crying right now.

Because it only means one thing, the happiness I felt with Traian was all influenced by the mate bond.

I laughed dryly. How stupid of me to think that I will be able to get over with Anthony that easily. I am not falling for Traian genuinely, it was all an illusion of the mate bond because, in the first place, I will not give in to him, not for the strong attraction.

But aside from it, was the fact that I am staying with shifters-of the creature I don’t know about. And no one told me about them. I felt the pain of Anthony breaking up with me and coming back and the confusion started to build on me.

The hurtful thing is that I am aware that my family has also deceived me.

I clung to the fabric close to my chest in an attempt to numb the frustration in my heart. I sobbed till I thought there was nothing left to grieve over and then my heart became numb.

I was shaking when I stood up and put back the books on the shelf. I took my bag and cast a glance around. I saw another statue in the corner. I pressed the crescent moon symbol, which caused the wall to split up revealing a doorway. Without wasting any time, I opened the door and was surprised to find myself in a different corridor. When the door shut, I turned around to see what appeared to be an ordinary wall. I approached the door at the far end, and when I opened it, the brisk wind blew in my face. It was then I realized that maybe this was a back door.

I started to walk away. Darkness covered the sky as the sun had already set. I gritted my teeth to prevent crying as the crescent moon illuminated the sky and provided me with light. I managed to find my way back to the deserted road. I strolled aimlessly while being mentally absent. My eyes were red and puffy. My face is currently showing signs of dried tears.

My hands were still trembling. And right now, all I want is to get to my cabin, pack, leave, and return to my life. This feels like a big joke right now.

I was walking with my gaze fixed on the ground when a familiar voice called my name.

“Jaidyn?”

I looked up and saw Adam.

“Adam?”

He whispered, “It’s really you,” as if a wave of relief had just passed him by. He then came up to me and hugged me.

I froze from surprise that I didn’t return the gesture.

“What are you doing here,” I asked. Since the incident in the diner the other day, I didn’t have the chance to see him when he followed Lara outside.

His eyes scanned my face before saying, “I’m looking for you. Are you okay?”

I inhaled deeply before nodding. “Yes, yes, I’m fine. What did you want to see me for?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

He gave me a serious look and said, “I need to tell you something.” He then looked around and gently pulled me over to the corner of a building.
