The Lycan’s Human Mate

We finally stopped and I moved away from him only to find him staring at me. As he examined me from head to toe, his jaw was locked. I move away since the intensity of his gaze on my body is making me feel uneasy. Only then did I notice the black ranger on the side. This was the car we took that night when we went to his place. His place was a freaking castle. I turned to face him and took off his coat, handing it to him.

I said, “Thank you for this, but I can handle……” As I looked around, I realized that I had no idea where I was.

He tilted his head and cast his gaze over me, saying, “Handle yourself? I doubt that.”

The intensity of his gaze caused me to shift uneasily on my feet, though not in a bad manner.

He took the coat from her and nodded, “Yeah, I gave you this to cover your chest but I think you don’t need this anymore because we are alone now,” he remarked smugly, “I kind of like you this way.”

“What are you talking about?” I said annoyed and faced the glass window of the car.

Instantly, my eyes grew wide, and I immediately slid my own coat in front of my chest. Brown stains covered my white shirt, and it was easy to see my black bra underneath. The cloth was sticking to my skin.

I hissed, putting on my coat and buttoning it, “You’re obviously enjoying this aren’t you?”

Instead of responding, he grinned and opened his car door. “After you, angel”

“Stop calling me that. I have a damn name,” I grunted as I entered the car after giving him a stern look.

After shutting the door, he crossed to the other side. My gaze strayed to his fingers as the keys jangled in his large hands. He was only clutching keys, but even that slight action proved how hot he was. That’s something I can’t deny.

When he entered the car, I turned my focus outside. The car then quickly regained its regular pace.

The drive went smoothly because the road was deserted. It was completely silent for the entire ride, so I concentrated on basking in the wonderful and calming view of the houses, trees, and other stunning scenery outside.

It wasn’t long before Traian spoke.

He asked seriously, “Are you alright?” His gaze was fixed on the path ahead.

I retorted, “Don’t you think it’s too late to ask that?”

He didn’t respond, so I continued speaking. Sighing, I muttered, “I’m okay, just shocked,” as I turned to gaze outside and relived the scene in which Lara threw me an iced tea-a recollection I, to be honest, only ever see in TV dramas and movies. I never thought I would go through it myself, and this is our first meeting.

I’m not sure what her issue is, but I’m certain that I have never met her and have never done anything to upset her.

He added, “I’m sorry on her behalf. I’ll make sure she’ll apologize for her behavior later,” in a controlled tone.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I shook my head. I have no idea what he meant as I don’t know how this town works. “No, it’s fine, don’t make a big deal out of that,”

“No, I think that’s a big deal because she knows our rules,” Traian said, gripping the steering wheel more fiercely.

My brows wrinkled as I turned to face him. “What rules?”

He didn’t respond, instead coming to a stop and beginning to get out of the car.

I screamed, “Hey! Wait!” but the breathtaking place held me captive.

We are in the middle of a forest, surrounded by thick trees, and a modest house was built a short distance away. It was utterly beautiful. However, the realization that this wasn’t my cabin makes me feel uneasy as well.

Traian was just walking towards the house when I braced the door and slammed it open, rushing after him.

I yelled, “Traian, where are we going? I thought you were going to take me to my cabin!”

he said as he turned to face me and smirked. “Did I tell you that? I don’t think so”

And I really want to punch him in the face to take that smug grin off of his face. But I don’t think it’ll happen. “Are you serious right now? Then you should have left me there,”

I take a deep breath and pinch the bridge of my nose before saying, “Oh my god, what’s wrong with you? Bring me back to the town.”

He stated while gazing up at the sky, “Not going to happen.”

Unconsciously, I imitate him, and the sight of the overcast, gray sky makes me panic a little. Damn.

He said as he entered the house, leaving the door open, “Step inside when you feel like it, and don’t wander around since there are wild animals around and it will be raining any minute now.”

I shouted “Traian!” but he had already gone inside. I stare at the opened door dumbfounded.

“Jerk!” I cursed and was about to walk to the car when raindrops started to fall.

The thick drops quickly dampen the forest floor. I hurried to the house while placing my palm over my head as cover. My coat was half-soaked when I was under the house’s roof. I groaned as I remembered my bag and realized I’d left it in the car.

I’m not going in. This is not a good thing. With him, I don’t trust my body or thoughts. He was….. He was a direct threat to my body and a walking desire, both of which I wanted to avoid.

‘Is he?’

I almost laugh at how hypocritical I sounded even though deep down, I know what I want.

His voice rang out, “You’ll get sick if you do that the whole day.”

When I turned to look, I saw him leaning on the door. He is only wearing sweatpants, and his chest is bare.

“Can’t you dress properly?” I asked as I turned my head away.

He chuckled, “Kitten, it’s like you’ve never seen it before.”

I retorted, “Very funny.”

“Jaidyn, I’m being serious. Come inside and get dressed in something dry.”

“Take me back home, Traian,” I demanded adamantly.

He sighed and nodded, “I will. Once it stops raining, I will bring you home, but for the moment, take care of yourself,”

I watched him enter the house and then disappear down a hallway that I assumed led to the kitchen. I tapped my muddy boots on the floor as I considered what to do while also taking a quick look outside at how hard it was raining still.
