The Lycan’s Human Mate

CHAPTER 71: Temporary Mark



Traian’s POV

I watched Jaidyn brush her hair delicately. Her back was covered in a waterfall of crimson hair. My fingers tingle with the want to run them through her silky, smooth hair. That which I did last night while making her come several times. And she quickly grumbled to me this morning how sore she was. I was casually observing her as I leaned on the doorframe. My eyes swept over her form and focused on her broad hips. I let my gaze linger on it, enjoying the view.

Although she was aware that her flight was in the late afternoon, she decided to prepare early. Along with her parents and sister, she will be traveling. Watching her inside my room, doing her makeup, and waiting for her was one of my dreams. More than a month has passed since I was so close to losing her. That unpleasant recollection was seared into my brain. I felt as though my heart had been crushed into a million pieces when she closed her eyes and her breathing slowed. And I felt like I was losing myself when it was revealed that she had been in a coma. That time, I didn’t care about anything but her. Only her.

And throughout that month, I observed her growing curiosity about who I really was. I saw her smile around my people without being uncomfortable. I noticed the delight in her eyes living here, dwelling with my pack. And I had no idea that staring at just one person could make you feel so fulfilled with your life. During those times, I kept a close eye on her, and I’ve always had this picture of us together in the future. She, me, and our kids.

I only knew her for a short time but she was already my life, my air, and my reason to breathe. She was the love of my life, and I would sacrifice anything for her happiness. Because of this, even though it broke me, I allowed her to leave when she declared she still wanted to.

She was mine, and while we were meant to be together, I have no control over her life. I know that her leaving was to be certain of herself. And I will be a douchebag if I ask her to stay. And I love her very much to be that type of man.

When she eventually became aware of my presence, I waved at her. A grin sweeps over her lips. She turned to face me while standing up, casting her brilliant green eyes over my body. I take my time inspecting her now that I can see her well. She wore a fitting black turtleneck that accentuated her large breasts, a dark blue fur coat, black trousers that hugged her slender thighs, and khaki boots. I moistened my lips wanting to touch those delicate globes straining at her blouse.

She cocked her head to the side and crossed her arms, “Where’s your black trench coat?”

I know this is coming. She still hasn’t told me what she plans to wear today, but I managed to change my attire to match hers because I saw her lay hers out earlier on our bed.

I shrugged, “I put it back in my closet. I feel like wearing a blue coat today”

She chuckled and picked up her bag. Her back facing me, “I didn’t know you would actually do what you said last night”

I moved across the room and wrapped my arms around her waist. It was only then I realized how small she was compared to me. I buried my face in the crook of her neck, taking in the naturally sweet and floral scent. She laughed and peeked at me.

“I want us to have matching clothes” I murmured.

He pulled away from me and held my face. “And I like it”

My gaze landed on her red lips which looked inviting. I quickly moved in and drew her waist closer to me before slamming my lips into her. Between our kisses, she moaned, and my dick immediately sprung to attention. This woman has me wrapped around her fingers. I couldn’t resist touching her, so I cupped her center through her jeans. When we parted to gasp for air, she buried her head in my chest as I stroked her clit through the fabric of her pants.

The intense delicious scent of her arousal envelops me. My eyes darkened and right now I want to throw her to bed and make her scream throughout the whole day, burying myself deep between her thighs.

I groaned when I heard footsteps coming closer. She seemed to hear it as well because she pulled away from me. Her cheeks flushed and eyes hooded with heat. I reached for her waist, pulling her closer.

“You have a very naughty hand,” she said, jabbing her index finger into my chest.

I laughed and kissed the top of her head. “I know, love”

While she reapplied her makeup-more specifically, her lipstick-I made my way to the door.

I remarked, “Hey,” to Jane, who responded with a sly grin.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“You two are not going to tear each other’s dress right now right?” she teased, entering the room.

“As much as I want to, no ” I casually responded, burying my hands in the pockets of my coat and fiddling with the tiny box within.

“Should I reschedule the flight?” Jane joked, “You two should give each other some passionate, heated, and mind-blowing sex-”

Jane couldn’t continue her statement as Jaidyn covered her mouth. Her cheeks going crimson, “Shut up, Jane”

I watched them amused. The two sisters definitely have a strong bond.

“Okay, okay,” Jane said, winking at her sister.

“What are you doing here?” Jaidyn asked.

“Oh, I will just tell you that Mom and Dad will want to have a fast shopping trip in the next town while I and Jaxon will go to enjoy a chocolate cake. And you two may do whatever, maybe a quickie because we still have 2 hours!” Jane squealed and hurried to walk out of the room.

“See you guys later,” she added.

Jaidyn looked at me, “Do you have anything you want to do? Because honestly, I don’t have”

I nodded and went to her, grabbing her hand and making our fingers interlace. “I have. Would you like to take a walk with me?”

She smiled and clasped our hands tighter, “Of course. I would love to”

We walked out of my castle and strolled inside the forest.

“What are your plans after this?”

She still didn’t tell me where she planned to stay for a while. And I respect her decision for it.

She thought as she scrunched her nose, “I honestly don’t have a detailed plan, but I will get to it after I hand out my resignation letter to the head of my department. This will blow Anna’s mind,” she said, “I plan to travel a lot. Maybe after I get tired of traveling, I will buy a house in the countryside and start to grow flowers and read a lot of books. I want to try painting and apply as a primary substitute teacher, maybe? Or a tutor?”

A smile curled on my lips at how thrilled she sounded.

“That’s sound very relaxing”

“It is” she glanced at me, “How about you? What are your plans?”

I shrugged, “I don’t have any plans yet but maybe I will focus on my company and my pack while waiting for you to come back”

She clasped my hand tighter, “And I will surely come back here, to you. It’s a promise”

And just like that, I was assured once again. Despite the fact that we were allowing her to leave our sight, my wolf and I were now at peace. We both held to her promise.

“Oh right, how is Mrs. Vicky?” she suddenly asked.

She has been seeing Lara’s grandmother for the past two days after I informed her about her. I told the elderly woman that I had killed her granddaughter in the first week following the incident. Contrary to what I expected, which was for her to be mad at me for doing it, she just nodded and gave me an understanding smile. She said that she had anticipated it since her granddaughter appeared to have drifted far away from both her reality and her thoughts. It was something she couldn’t blame anyone for.

And since that day, Mrs. Vicky requested me to allow her to leave the pack and visit their original pack. Lara and Mrs. Vicky were not Grevis Pack natives. One day, they came to my turf. Mrs. Vicky admitted that Lara had intended for it to happen from the beginning since she wanted to be my Luna. I gave Mrs. Vicky my approval and requested assistance for her journey.

“She already arrived at the Mikvi Pack and was doing great”

“Really? That’s really good to hear”

That great sincerity poured out of her words and it warmed my heart to hear how she cares for the people around her.

When we eventually came to the creek, we stopped. While the crystal-clear blue sky mirrored the crystal-clear lake, the golden rays heated the neighboring rocks and trees. I close my eyes, letting the sound of nature seep into my skin.

I found her looking at me with a stunning smile as I opened my eyes. And my heart fluttered from her unwavering attention on me. A smile ghosted on my face in an instant. I was so down to her so badly.

“I won’t be able to let you go if you keep looking at me like that.”

“Sorry, not sorry,” she giggled.

I take out the black velvet box from my coat.

“I want to give you something. ” I opened the box and pulled out the modest diamond necklace I had chosen for her, which had an emerald stone to match her green eyes.

She looked at me, surprised. “That’s beautiful”

“This is for you just like your eyes”

“It’s beautiful but looks expensive, I can’t take it”

“You deserve it, Jaidyn. I really wanted to give this one to you. I can’t mark you just yet but with this necklace, I will be at ease because you have something that came from me”

She knows about mates marking each other and how it was one of my options to save her when she was comatose. And not marking her as mine was the hardest thing, especially since she was leaving but I know that if I mark her right now when she is about to leave, it will be especially hard for both of us. And I don’t want to make things complicated and hard for her. I want her to enjoy her time smoothly.

Tears gathered in her eyes but she blinked them away. “So this serves as a temporary mark?”

She held her hair up and turned to face me as I nodded. I slipped the necklace on her and she eagerly faced me, clutching and staring at the emerald stone. I simply watch her, loving the mesmerized expression on her face.

“Thank you for this,” She said.

I cupped her cheeks, caressing my thumb on her soft and fair cheek. My jaw tightened. Damn, I don’t want to let her go yet. But I held myself back and just kissed her, slowly. She had tears rolling down her cheeks when we pulled apart.

“I love you, Jaidyn Murray. I love you so much” I said, wiping her tears and kissing her eyes.

“Wait for me, okay? Promise me that you will wait for me Traian?”

I kissed her forehead, “I will. I will wait for you no matter how long it is. I promise”

She wrapped her arms around my waist and put her head on my chest. I hugged her back, holding the back of her head as my other arm went securely on her small waist. I take in her alluring scent, memorizing it. We stayed like that for a few minutes, just soaking in each other’s warmth and listening to the beating of our hearts.

Soon after, we went back to my place with our hands intertwined.

But the moment we get closer to the porch of my castle, an unfamiliar scent reaches my nose belonging to a human. My eyes zeroed in on a man beside Jaidyn’s parents. Cayden and others were also present, all with stern expressions.

This man……

My attention was shifted to Jaidyn who abruptly stopped walking and was staring at the man. And just like that, I realized who the newcomer was.

Jaidyn’s hold on my hand tightened as she whispered, “Anthony”

And at that moment, I badly wanted to kill someone.
