Happy Holidays Everyone!❣️
It wasn't too long, though, until I noticed Traian coming my way. He kept on moving forward. His all-black outfit, which highlighted his gorgeous blue eyes and demonstrated how adept he was at carrying clothing, included a turtleneck and trousers. He approaches me while looking like a model. And I felt crying because I don't know now if this was me or the mate pull doing magic. I feel as though I have been on illusions for several days since I no longer know what is real or not when it comes to my feelings. He took my hand when he got closer to me and murmured, "Hey." I yanked my hand and said coldly, "What is this?" He looked at my hand for a second before meeting my eyes. "Um... I prepared something" He gestured the way. Without giving him a second glance, I walked toward the light. And the view made me speechless. A pool of crystal-clear water is encircled by rocks and trees. Under the dazzling moon overhead, the entire area seemed to sparkle. The stunning waters gave off the
I was up before my alarm went off. I rubbed my eyes and groaned, getting up. I took a shower and ate cereal. After I was finished, I made sure to clean the rental cabin I had been residing in for many days. My luggage is already placed close to the entrance. I had already settled into a slumped on the couch at 5:40, laying my head on it as I awaited the rental cab driver's call. My eyes were on the verge of shutting as I yawned. Last night, I had trouble falling asleep, and I frequently found myself waking up in the middle of the night. After that, no matter how I moved around on my bed, it was difficult to fall asleep. I may have slept for only four hours. When my phone rang, I sprang up abruptly. It was 5:50. "Hello," I said as I saw the rental car company's phone number on my phone's screen, which I had booked last night. "I'm here now, Ma'am approaching your area" the driver politely informed me. "Oh, okay then" I hung up the call. I have checked all the lights and windows.
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
Claire's Pov I looked at the path where Traian—my Alpha disappeared, still shocked to see someone shifting mid-air. Traian was our Alpha for many years and I have seen his wolf numerous times. We trained with him. But it still made my skin crawl in fear every time. Traian's was a Lycan. A superior kind to normal Shifters like us. Among our pack and others, there was no wolf who possessed such pure black wolf but only Lycans. They were like darkness in the skin of a wolf. They were bigger than us and their limbs are thicker, stronger so was their presence. I felt how my wolf instantly scooted to the back of my mind in the presence of Traian's wolf. I just know one thing—their Alpha will not stop until he draws blood from the people who were chasing Jaidyn. "Go back to the house, Claire “, was one last thing I heard from my brother—Cayden before he shifted into his brown wolf and ran away from the area. I looked to the sky where the morning sun shone so brightly, silently hopin
Shortly after, I saw the five wolves, stalking toward me. Even though I was ready to be devoured by wolves, I shouldn't have been that afraid and horrified. Perhaps it was the agony numbing in my entire body that caused me to even grin at them and wave my right hand at them. I stammered, "Hey," Because of how dry my throat was, my voice was gruff. The gray wolf that was leading the other four hissed at me and flashed its razor-sharp teeth. Well, I guess my ‘hey’ isn't to her taste. "I'm sorry, how rude of me to greet you like that" I meet the menacing eyes of the gray wolf and spoke, "Hi, Lara" The gray wolf stared at me for a few seconds before its body morphed into human skin. Its furs vanished and were replaced by limbs until the one standing before me was Lara in her naked form. I was completely taken aback and genuinely afraid throughout the entire shifting process. It appears to be agonizing, and seeing how a wolf can change into a person was perplexing and left me speechle
The man moved closer to me and lunged forward to grasp my hand as Lara's eyes widened. I closed my eyes and gripped the shard of glass tighter when the forest shook at the loud spine-chilling growl that resounded that even halted my movement at how deadly and dangerous it sounded. And the next thing I knew, an ear-shuttering scream followed. I opened my eyes and when I turned to my left, I spotted a large, black wolf that was twice as big as Lara and his men. Its flawless, pitch-black fur is shiny and mimics the night sky devoid of stars. Its boiling fangs were razor-sharp and exposed. I'm not sure why, but there seems to be a dark and heavy aura of suffocating power and authority around the wolf, which is riveted on me with its searing golden eyes. My heart fluttered as I held the black wolf's gaze. This wolf....... I mumbled, "Traian," and a wave of relief swept over me. I kept staring at the black wolf while a tear trickled down my face. My guess was confirmed by Lara who stut
Jaidyn's Pov My arm was gently caressed by a warm hand, and then I heard a muffled voice. My eyes felt heavy, despite my attempts to flutter them open. I gave it another try, but I failed. My pulse quickened. What is happening? What is wrong with me? I attempted to move my fingers, but they seemed stuck to the mattress. I felt a wave of panic, and then I heard a loud beeping of something. When I heard a man yelling, I tried to move my hand again and peeled my eyelids open but I failed again. "OH MY GOD! SHE MOVES HER FINGERS! TRAIAN!" I had trouble clearly recognizing the voice. It became more difficult for me to move or open my eyes, and eventually, I started to feel lightheaded once again. “Why won't she open her eyes now?” "Calm down, Jane. The doctor said she might be anytime," “Goodness, my Jaidyn, oh my god” "She will wake up, Janette. Our daughter will wake up" It was one of the remarks I overheard. Those voices are familiar to me. It belongs to my mom, dad, Jane, and
As soon as I flicked my eyelids open, I became aware of a subtle rustling in the room and a soft pulling of the blanket up onto my chest. The lamp on the nightstand was the only source of light in the already gloomy room. My attention was drawn to Traian as he moved quickly to my side. Concerned, he turned to look at the monitor and back to my face and asked, "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?” His pronounced brows pinched. The dark circles under his gorgeous eyes highlighted how worn out and downcast he is. He also has stubble now on his face. And the next thing I knew, I was slipping my hand up to touch his chin and running my fingers through his stubble. He sighed under my touch and drew in closer. He said softly, "Jaidyn." I genuinely remarked, "You're still stunning with stubble," enjoying the feel of the prickly hair. He looked at me surprised. I chuckled, “What?” He shakes his head, “Nothing, I was just surprised you talk to me” “Oh,” I nibbled my lower lip, “I was also s
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
