The Lycan’s Human Mate

Traian’s POV

After I put on my shorts, I started to walk back to my house barefooted. The sun was just starting to rise. The sun’s rays pierced the gap between the thick leaves of the feast of trees, bathing the forest with its warmth.

I close my eyes, inhaling the scent of the forest and reveling in the fleeting noises of the creatures around to calm myself and my wolf. But once I opened my eyes, the anger, confusion, and pain still lingered in my mind.

After Jaidyn left, I ended up destroying the surprise I had made and shifted to my wolf form, running for hours in the forest. When I got back home, I drank for hours because sleep didn’t come to me at all. I was so damn confused. We were okay before I brought her to the library and I sure as hell didn’t do anything wrong that I am aware of for her to be so angry and distant in a snap.

Her words stung so much that my wolf whimpered in my head as she uttered how her human fiancee was still the one in his heart. It breaks and pains me inside because I love her so much. It’s still vivid in my memory how she refused my touch. The mate bond punishes me and I can feel the damn pain rushing to my veins that I want to shift back again on my wolf and run for hours without stopping.

I strolled towards my house with my hands in my shorts pockets when I heard the sound of a car getting louder and louder.

Now what?

I shook my head and sighed, I didn’t want to meet anyone today or be called for another company meeting again, fully knowing that I would just snap at them or they would want to go near me. I plan to go back to my castle later.

When I reached the front porch of my house, just at the right time a white car pulled up. I didn’t bother looking back and continued to walk towards my door, knowing who it was because of the fruity scent. There’s only one person who approaches him wearing that kind of perfume.

“What are you doing here, Claire?” I snapped, bracing the door.

“She’s gone!” Claire’s voice held urgency and panic.

I turned to face her leaving the door slightly open, “What?! What the hell are you saying, Claire?”

Claire shakes her head, “It’s true, Traian. I went to her house and she’s not there. It was locked!” she wiped the tears that escaped her tears, “Our Luna left. Jaidyn left Alpha. I tried to call Cayden but I could not reach him so I went straight to you”

“Fuck” I cursed and marched towards Claire, extending my hand. “Give me your keys. She might not still be far away. I can get to her”

Claire took a step back which made me frown and even more frustrated than I was.

“Claire! Give me the keys!”

When she didn’t move, I walked past her and dashed to my house, got the key, and put my slippers and a shirt on the couch. Fortunately, I parked my car in front as well. I marched to my car with the keys in my hand when Claire spoke again.

“Do you know why she did that without talking to us?”

My jaw clenched, facing her, “I don’t know! She just left me yesterday and became distant. But I don’t care anymore because right now I need to get to her”

She looked down and that made my frown deeper. She knows something.

“Claire what the-”

“I think I know why she left, Alpha ” she whispered and her voice was shaking.

I walked towards her, “What do you mean?”

When she remained silent, I grabbed her shoulders, “Tell me what you know!”

My wolf resurfaced and my eyes shifted from blue to gold hue making the power of my voice even heavier and making Claire suddenly move her head sideways to show her neck, as submission. My wolf and I were on edge and badly wanted to follow our mate now.

She took a deep breath and stood straight, meeting my eyes through her gaze with unshed tears.

“She already knows what we are,” she whispered. “She already knows that we are not human but Shifters, Alpha. She knows about mates and you being hers”

My hands on her shoulders loosened. I take a step back, running my hands through my hair. “No, no, it’s not true. Fuck, that’s not true. How.. how did she find out?”

“Mrs. Olga called me saying she could not reach you. She informed me that when she checked the library this morning, she sniffed a faint smell of Jaidyn in the hidden library that we have and the books seemed to be moved from their original place”

“It’s written in old characters and Greek…. ” I paused when the realization hit me, remembering the information written on Jaidyn when I ran a background check on her. “She knows how to read Greek”

“She can?” Claire asked, stunned. “Then it must be the reason why she left”

I didn’t have time to register the statement of Claire as my mind went back to last night when all the words Jaidyn uttered came back to me. Her words like all the things between us were an illusion only. And how she will not love me genuinely. She knows that she was my mate and about the mate bond.

“Fuck” I cursed.

So much for waiting at the right time to tell her.

She must have felt utterly betrayed when she learned that. And I am not on his side to explain everything in detail to her- ease her confusion and pain. She was here when she said those words last night. That’s why she looked like that.

“How could I not know?” I muttered, gripping my hair in utter frustration.

I took a deep breath and dashed to my car to fix everything by following Jaidyn first and talking to her. But I heard a car pulling once again.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I turned around and saw Cayden running towards me looking to be worried.

“Alpha” he called and the way he addressed me by my title just brought an unsettling feeling to my stomach. I can sense his wolf agitated.

“What is it?” I asked quickly, tension rolled on my nerves.

“It’s Lara. Our warriors informed us that someone saw Lara with five rouges running on the west trail like it was following a rental car. She’s like on a hunt”

“Jaidyn,” Claire exclaimed, horrified.

“Fucking traitor!” I growled, my nails turning into claws and my eyes finally fixed on its golden hue.

“Lead ten warriors to the West Trail” I ordered darkly causing Claire to stagger backward.

As I take three steps, my body lifts into the air and I shift into my midnight black wolf. Its paws and claws hit the ground and I gave him complete control, my wolf dashed away from my house and through the West Trail, craving for blood.
