Due to the heartache she receives from her fiancé, Jaidyn makes an impulsive decision to continue the trip she had originally intended to do with him. As soon as she arrived in the town, she had an overwhelming attraction to both the setting and the enigmatic man. However, secrets have come to light as a result of her continued presence there. She was more than just a human; she was the mate of a being that she had never in her wildest thoughts imagined to exist. With her heartbroken over her ex-fiance and prime life in another country, she was in for a ride that will set the course of her life.

The words of my fiance kept echoing in my head as I closed my eyes. I quickly reopened them, shaking my head, and turned to face the airplane window.
It seems, being excessively possessive means wanting to travel to spend time with the person you love. I suppose from the perspective of my ex-fiance. He was just waiting for the right moment to break up with me, I know that much. And his justifications were laughably weak.
"I hate him," I grumbled while simultaneously feeling like the fool my sister labeled me for leaving and continuing to travel to a place I had reserved for me and my ex-fiance.
I spent money on it, so why can't I enjoy it, right?
But after a while, it sounds crazy when you do something rash like flying across another continent you have little knowledge about for a little trip to forget the pain. To forget a man you love.
I pushed back the thought and glanced around. My gaze fell on the flight attendant beginning to approach us. I waved her over.
"Can I get vodka, please?”
The flight attendant offered me a kind smile and nodded before walking away. I forced another smile at the old couple next to me, who returned it with an understanding nod.
The flight attendant soon returned carrying my vodka. On regular days, I never even considered asking for a drink since, to borrow a phrase from my ex-fiance, I am very kind and a good girl. Someone who always follows the rules. I don't understand why he believed that after knowing me for ten years. And I did something that I know would not fall in a good girl's book. It was, however, his opinion of me all along. This action may be purely in the mindset to behave out of character, perhaps to prove to myself or him that I can be bad. That I am not what he thinks I am.
I originally reserved a hotel room for two people in Europe. A particular peak there was all of a sudden fascinating to me once I saw it in one of the pamphlets I came across. Though Anthony and I have different schedules, I've always tried my best to spend time with him. Despite my best efforts, he constantly declines and provides a never-ending excuse for his refusal, which I can't believe I fell for. In retrospect, it could just have been his excuse.
My attention was drawn to my ring finger, occupied by the shining diamond ring he gave me. I have no heart to remove it. Not just yet. I fought back tears that were threatening to fall.
It's a good thing I didn't wed that moron.
"You have a beautiful ring" the old woman next to me commented, peering down at my band wrapped on my fourth finger. "Are you married?"
I looked down at the large, shiny on my ring finger, discreetly tucking my hand in my coat pocket.
"No, I'm not," I said.
The confused expression of the old woman didn't go unnoticed by me but I had already turned my attention to the window once again. Avoiding having to explain. I take a sip of my beverage and feel my throat burn as a result. It's time for me to put him out of my mind.
I intended to spend a few days in a certain town before returning home. Although I tried to act like there was something good in this little escapade of mine, fear gripped me. I wasn't familiar with the area, and I didn't particularly enjoy stepping outside of my comfort zone. And every time I went somewhere, either Anthony, my older sister, or my parents were there to accompany me. I'm never by myself.
For eight years, I have been with Anthony. He was my rock, my home. Anthony was my first love, therefore it's hard for me to let go of the betrayal.
Even if this journey turned out to be my worst decision ever, at least I would have had a little more real-world experience without Anthony or anyone.
Fortunately, after I told my sister where I would go, her husband–Jaxon, knew someone there.
…
I had arrived at my destination after a lengthy trip. I was now jammed into a car traveling down a rough and rocky road. I had my camera on my shoulder and as soon as I landed, I had to take a shot of some beautiful scenery.
As I was led closer to the village where I would stay, my thoughts were drifting to how I chose this place. Through a rental agency that I changed at the last minute, I managed to find a small cabin to rent.
If I hadn't decided to go on vacation and surprise someone, I would never have known that a village named Grevis Town existed. However, when I studied the map, I felt as though something was drawing me here.
My muscles were aching from stiffening during this ride, but when the road flattened out, I was able to relax against the tattered leather seat. The driver was focused on the road and my eyes darted to the skin on his hands. It was tanned and wrinkled, and they were wrapped over the splintered steering wheel. I shifted my attention back to the window and peered at the dense row of trees that we were passing by.
My phone suddenly started vibrating. I took it out of my coat and noticed the registered name on the screen.
"Jai!" came a yell from the other line.
I chuckled in response to my older sister's exaggerated greeting. "I just landed and I'm fine."
"Thank goodness. Where are you right now?"
"Inside the car"
"Alright, phone me when you arrive there, and if possible, make up your mind to inform mom and dad about this misadventure and about you and that jerk as soon as you can."
I nodded even though she couldn't see me. "Noted"
When a moment of stillness stretched, I pulled my phone away from my ear, checking if I was connected. And I still am.
“Hello, Jane, are you still there?”
I noted her serious tone when she finally replied. “You didn't feel anything at all about the place, right?”
I frowned. “Okay, now you're scaring me. What should I feel, Jane?”
“Nothing. I just don't want you to want to live there”. She teased, but knowing her from head to toe, I know that it was not completely genuine. Still, I ignored it. Maybe she was simply tired. After all, she was pregnant with her first baby.
“Then I will live with you,” I said, giggling.
“And I would love that.” Then, her tone grew softer. "You'll be fine."
I know what she meant. I smiled sadly, taking a deep breath. "I will be, I need to be."
"Okay, then I will hang up. Love you, sis"
After hanging up, I looked at my phone for a second, mulling over how lucky I am to have my sister. I stowed the phone in my coat pocket. Then my gaze fell on the forest in the distance. I felt a chill run through me at the thought of wild animals there, lurking in the shadows. I chose to shift my gaze again outside the window, trying to ignore the swarm of unpleasant thoughts in my head.
As a tiny town came into view with a large sign of Grevis Town, I took a breath in appreciation of how beautiful the neighborhood was. It was snuggled within the dense group of trees and seemed small yet beautiful.
As the little car sputtered along, I braced my hands on the door. The driver eventually slowed down after a short while, and I was able to calm down again as I looked at the houses and stores that were on each side of me and the people walking along the sidewalks. Only ten minutes passed until the car drew up next to the cabin that could be a model for a storybook castle located in the heart of magical woodland.
I exited the vehicle, paid the driver, and made sure to thank him as well. I then stood in front of a cabin with my backpack on my shoulder and a duffel bag in the other hand. I looked around, contemplating whether to contact the number my sister gave me for this. Before I could give it much thought, a young guy stepped out of the house a little far from the one I leased.
Upon noticing me, the guy exclaimed, “Jaidyn?”
“Yes,” I replied reluctantly. Perhaps this is the man my sister was referring to.
Jaidyn's Pov I sighed in pleasure as the cold breeze passed. My heart thundered as I smelled the woods that surrounded the castle where I lived with my mate. Home. Traian. A soothing elixir for my soul, his name lingered in the back of my thoughts. As with living with someone other than my own family, being mated takes some getting accustomed to but Traian and I managed to cope. He was so patient with me every day. He was also very protective, making sure I was constantly taken care of. He didn't often wander far or leave me alone. I turned to look at the people cooking and setting up for our celebration outside, among them were Claire, Evan, their daughter Clara, Adam, Sally, Kate, and her mate David, Jane, Jaxon, their son Jacob, Mom and Dad, and the Grevis Pack locals. As the sun peaked above the treetops, everything appeared to gleam golden. Cayen was not here and had a business trip in the United States while Anna had something come up. She was supposed to be here, and even
Jaidyn's Pov I was panting, my body was buzzing with relief. I still wanted something much bigger inside of me to ease this fire in me. I felt a shudder leave me as Traian kissed my inner thigh softly and licked it long and slowly. I felt one of his long, extended teeth gently scrape down my flesh. He took a sharp breath and then backed away. His eyes were hooded, his lips were parted, and his head leaned back slightly. He spoke in a strained voice I couldn't identify as human, saying, "I can't wait any longer to be inside you" I nodded while licking my lips. “I need you now.” I felt his body tense. Traian stripped, and despite his huge size and close-to-wolf transition, he was incredibly gentle with me. I let my gaze wander freely on his length. He had the recognizable enormous thickness to his cock. It seems like a very long time ago. I continued to follow the contours of his abdomen, noting the slabs of muscle, the chiseled upper chest, and the masculine points of his nipples.
Traian's Pov She was standing right in front of me. She smelt exquisite as I breathed in her sweetness, I growled. The closer Jaidyn got to me, the more my cock hardened and grew impossibly larger and thicker. She also caressed my arms, digging her claws into my flesh. More than anything else in my whole life, I longed for her. I had my mate at last. I wanted Jaidyn to be at my side for the rest of my life and to bear my mark on her. She will only ever be ours, my wolf sighed. We'll lay claim to her tonight as our mate. As I caressed her tongue with mine, I caught hold of the back of her head. But as each second passed, she moved closer to me, and when the sun eventually sank and the moon quickly grew full, my need grew double. The need to mark her became intolerable now that there was a full moon and my mate was in front of me. We have been apart for a very long period, which has only increased our desire and longing. My wolf was the one who said it, but my human side was just
I waved at Cayden who dropped me off at Traian's house in the middle of the woods and near the creek. That sun had already set which I realized too late because I have been so occupied with Claire and the others' company. I spent the whole afternoon at Cayden's place, watching the videos of their wedding and other events which were mostly hilarious. When I invited them to accompany me to surprise Traian, they all vehemently objected, insisting that I should go alone. I made my way to the porch. I raised my hand to knock but immediately stopped midair. I inhaled deeply, quickly brushed my now short, reddish-brown hair, tucked my shirt in, and adjusted the way the green scarf Traian had given me was positioned around my neck. I raised my hand again to know but I was not yet to thump to the wooden door when it flung open, revealing the half-naked Traian with only black sweatpants. His midnight hair was still damp from the shower and the citrus with sandalwood scent immediately reached m
Jaidyn's Pov 2 years later............ 'Go, go where your heart belongs to' My thoughts were filled with the words of the elderly woman who was my closest neighbor in the town where I spent two years and who helped me grow my plants. I glanced down at the photo I had just taken of her and her granddaughter Alice, who was then 20 years old, standing by my side. Behind us was my modest house and yard, which was bursting to the seams with tall, vivid flowers. The pictures resemble those of houses in fairytale images. It was very magical to look back again. I put the picture in my wallet again and turned to face the airplane window, my lips curling in a smile. I'm returning to the town and the man I made a vow to after a two-year absence. During that period, I travel alone, encounter amazing people, learn a lot, and gain new insights into life. I also succeeded in acquiring and moving to a little cottage in a rural area close to a lake and a forest for a year. That place captured my
Traian's Pov I watch from a distance as the ex-fiance of Jaidyn leaves. I can't help but follow them and unintentionally hear their conversation. When the man named Anthony came up to my side, he glance at me and pat my shoulder. He whispered painfully, "Take care of her" “I will” A sorrowful smile spread across his face as he continued to walk away while I strolled in the direction of Jaidyn. I found her gazing where the sun rays were slicing through the feast of trees. "Jaidyn" I gently called her, grasping her elbow. She turned to face me, her face painted with a dejected smile I pulled her close, hugging her. She wrapped her arms around me and held me tightly. We stayed like that for a few minutes before we went back to my place. Everyone was there, waiting for us. The first to approach Jaidyn and give her a hug was Jane and her parents, with me standing nearby. "Are you okay?" Janette asked, holding her daughter's face. "Yes, Mom" Jane quipped, "What did he say?" "Not
Jaidyn's Pov I gaped in disbelief at the tall man, whose blonde curls framed his fine, somber face. Cayden and the others looked in our direction and so did Anthony. He looked at me with his pure gray eyes widening, but his eyes settled on me and Traian's clasped hands His jaw tightened. He screamed out "Jaidyn" as he came up to approach me, but Traian cut him off right away. His fists are clenching and unclenching as his spine tenses. Cayden stated in frustration, "I attempted to stop him but he continues on claiming that he knows Jaidyn” Anthony retorted, "And that is true! Jaidyn is my fiance!" Jane hissed, "Was” Traian glances my way as I pinch his hand. His blue eyes sparkle with dread and worry. Is he concerned that I may disregard him? Anthony was just now part of my past. Nothing more. When he chose to end our relationship, I didn't have any plans to go back to him even when I didn't meet Traian here. He had already caused me enough pain. I am aware of my worth. I smile
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 me 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
Jaidyn’s Pov I finish brushing my hair one more time and set the brush on the dressing table. I turned back to the mirror and grinned. My heart thrilled as I noticed how my green eyes sparkled and how my face lit up. I grinned even wider when I noticed another reflection in the mirror. It was Traian, leaning on the door of his new room. For a few days before leaving, he asked me to stay in his room. We stayed home and cuddled each other every night, doing nothing but that. My parents and I will be returning to the United States tomorrow. And honestly, Claire and the others have just requested longer days, so I've had to reschedule my departure five times. The other day, when I informed them that I would be leaving for good tomorrow, there were many tears shed. The thought of leaving made my heart ache, but I must do this. For myself. I also went to the town and struck up friendly interactions with a few locals, including the folks at Michael's Diner, where I also ran across Nate the
