He leaned in so close that I felt his warm breath on the side of my face. Despite not touching me, his breath made my skin tingle. My jaw tightened as my hands formed fists. I was aware that he was smirking even before I ever peered at him. “Really? But it doesn't matter to me since I only want to look at you, kitten,” he said huskily and roused me with a rush of need.“Move away—,” I started to say, but before I could finish, I felt his face nuzzling my neck, his lips nibbling my skin, and his hands gripping my waist.“I can smell your desire, kitten and it was addicting” His hands lowered until I felt them near my ass before dropping back down again.My voice and my capacity to reason appeared to fade together. My finger was gripping her bicep with the utmost urgency as I bit my bottom lip to contain the groan.“I wonder if you are dripping wet—”When I see a couple heading into the supermarket, I know that they will be able to see us from wherever we are standing on the corner. Fo
I let her walk in front of me while continuing to ogle her flawlessly rounded behind. My cock pounded forward as my heart raced. I didn't stake anything on men gawking at her—on what belongs to me. If I saw someone staring at her, my inner animal would probably come forth and rip throats out. Especially since this town is populated with humans. For the next hour, I was successfully able to help her shop without her giving me a glare and putting back what I am putting in her cart. Perhaps she became tired of giving me her warning gaze. I quietly perused the list she had given me. My primitive drive to take care of my mate was strong. We left and started walking in the village's quaint shops. She continued to act as if I didn't exist while I was still behind her. She abruptly came to a halt near a stand selling accessories. I stood next to her. She reached out to touch the necklace with a moon pendant. A faint smile briefly passed across her lips as she ran a finger over one. The moon
“How did you learn about Lara?” I asked, baffled. She raised an eyebrow and I noted how she grasped the plastic bags holding her belongings tighter, "I'm not supposed to?” “No, it's just—” She interrupted me once more and I mentally added that she would be punished for that once she was back in my bedroom. The only thing I can hope for is that my little human mate enjoys being spanked since I enjoy painting and kneading her crimson ass. Just the thought of it makes me hard. "It's alright, you don't need to explain, but to answer your question, she came into the neighborhood earlier with her grandma and she talked about you going to the library every Wednesday," she said. I restrained the grin that was starting to appear on my face. I think my sweet little mate was jealous. My inner wolf and I are thrilled to know that my precious little mate doesn't want to share, which clearly she was yet to accept. “She was no one to me, Jaidyn. There's only one woman for me and she was in fro
I slowly sat up and rested my head on the backrest of the couch as I fluttered my eyes open. My attention was drawn to the window, where the ocher sunrays of the afternoon were seeping through and bathing the living room a glow. "Ugh" I groaned, aware that I had overslept and that my sore back was the result of my uncomfortably curled-up position. Nevertheless, I'd like to blame my lack of productivity today mostly. After being motionless for a while, I finally made the decision to get up and pick up my phone off the nightstand. Three o'clock in the afternoon had already come and gone. I went to the sink and drink water while my fingers thrum on the table as I think of what I can do today. Anything productive if possible. Afterward, I began to consider wifi. Before going to the library, I had the intention of searching the internet for a possible clue. Not today though, since Lara and Traian were both there, I'm sure. No, I refuse to see them together. I can prevent it by not sto
He chuckled as he adjusted the camera strap on his shoulder and took in the breathtaking scenery all around us. "I usually prefer my photographs to be devoid of any humans and to solely include trees, nature, and the sky.""So why did you want me to be on it? If you say so, I can actually take a step back. I don't mind because I'm planning to go too, so it won't be a problem for me”"I don't know why, but watching you admire nature with those green eyes of yours makes me feel as though I can see the world through them.” He uttered those remarks with such seriousness, there was truth oozing from his words.He was such a well-spoken and deep guy, and I find myself admiring that. I also note that if he were to meet Anna, there is no doubt that they would click because my friend was such a perceptive person. We both are.I gave a quick nod before beginning to walk while he walked beside me. “Then is it okay to claim that you merely use me to see nature differently? ", I teasingly said.He
My chest tightened at the sight of them, but I ignored it and returned my attention to Traian's face, "Hey" "We meet again," Lara remarked, warmly beaming at me, which she hadn't done all morning. "Right," I said. Her gaze was drawn to Adam and then to my hands. I followed her gaze and quickly released my grip on Adam. She flashed a fake and knowing grin. "Who exactly is he? Is he your date today? " she asked. I noticed Traian's hands tightening around her waist. But I was too preoccupied with registering Lara's words, which led to the absurd conclusion. It didn't sit well with me. "No, we just happened to cross paths on our way," I replied dismissively. "That's a good excuse," she remarked, grinning at me and enthusiastically adding. "I know a great diner where we can all eat." “Are you sure?” Traian said in a gentle voice as he faced Lara. His eyes gave concern. I averted my gaze after they exchanged those few seconds of staring, as Claire and the others had. They appear to
"Do you want to order now?" Michael asked politely, catching my attention. I nodded since, with the exception of Kate's, I usually order the same thing at every diner I visit. "I'd like a club sandwich and an iced tea, please." "I'll have burgers and an iced drink," Adam remarked as he placed the menu down. His gaze was fixed on Lara. Michael nodded, writing down our orders on a piece of paper, and turned to face Lara, who smiled at him. "We'll get the same one we usually get," Lara replied softly. "You're a regular here?" Adam questioned, echoing my thoughts. Lara glanced at me before turning to face Adam and saying, "Yes, Traian and I usually eat here, which is why Michael had memorized our favorite dish here." When a pang of jealousy slips into my heart, I discreetly take a deep breath and glance around. Stop, there's no reason for me to feel that way. I tried to look elsewhere, anything to divert my attention, but it was futile when Adam asked a direct question once more. "
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
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
