The Lycan’s Human Mate

When we heard footsteps coming from upstairs, the three of us grew quiet and cast an expectant look at the stairs. Jaidyn appeared wearing one of my gray sweatshirts. It reached down to her elbows since it was so big for her. I would be lying if I said I didn’t like her wearing my clothes.

Her green eyes were gleaming with delight as she walked over to Claire and said, “Claire.”

Claire shouted, “Jaidyn!” and she got to her feet, hugging her.

I stood up so was Evan who stood behind Claire.

Claire gasped, “Oh my gosh, I miss you!”

“We’ve seen each other yesterday,” Jaidyn said, and I found her laughter to be the most beautiful and calming sound.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I don’t care,” Claire glanced at her mate. “Evan. You know him already”

“Yeah”

“Hi,” Evan moves closer and opens her arms for a hug that Jaidyn warmly returns.

If he was an unmated male, I know that whoever the man is will be thrown across the room now.

“You’re glowing” Claire replied, wriggling her brows.

I wrapped my arms around Jaidyn’s waist and she leaned in naturally to me. Her body recognized my presence instantly and gave in.

“She’s always glowing”

Jaidyn smacked my arm as Claire rolled her eyes.

“I want to be with Jaidyn today. Mind me snatching her? I want us to go shopping in the town-” Claire eagerly explains but is stopped short by her mate.

“I don’t believe now is a good moment, babe. We have a schedule later” Evan looked at Jaidyn, “I’m sorry”

Claire grumbled, “Oh yes. That sucks. I forgot we have a flight to Poland today”

Jaidyn merely shakes her head with that dazzling smile on her face, “It’s okay. I realize that the two of you could be busy due to the wedding preparations and all. Speaking of that, I can assist anytime Claire”

Claire’s eyes widened as she turned to face Evan, instantaneously mind-linking him.

“Wedding Preparations?” I questioned.

Jaidyn glanced at me and nodded. And damn if she was not breathtaking with her red lips near to mine and her green eyes focused on me. Her alluring scent entirely went into overdrive on my system. She was simply enchanting.

“Yes, you didn’t know?” she questioned and when I shook my head, she turned to Claire. “You didn’t tell him?”

Claire, who’s obviously weaving a lie, reluctantly nodded. She gulped, “Yeah, but I also planning to tell him today anyway”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you still didn’t tell him”

Claire forced a smile, “It’s okay. We… uhm….. stopped the preparations for a while”

I changed the topic instantly so Jaiddyn couldn’t pick anything suspicious. “What will the two of you do in Poland by the way?”

“My parents are there so were my other relatives for a short break and they told us to join them” Evan informed.

“A break was an enticing idea”

“It is, especially the pack-I mean the work and stuff” Evan cleared his throat.

Claire immediately pulled Jaidyn from me and dragged her outside the door. I grinned as I followed them with Evan right behind me after shaking my head. I first made sure to lock the door.

Evan spoke as we both continued to look at the person walking in front of us.

“I can’t believe I’ll find her here while I’m only on a quick vacation,” he said.

“I think the moon goddess brought our fated ones to an unexpected place and time,” I said, recalling how I don’t give a damn being asked for the identity of the humans who visited our village this month and whom Marissa permitted to remain in her cabin for a while.

I didn’t bother because I didn’t anticipate or even cross my mind that I would meet my mate this time.

When the two got near the two cars, they faced us, waiting. And it offers nothing but contentment, to see Jaidyn-my love waiting for me there with her face devoid of worry.

“She will accept you and our kind, Alpha. I believed it” Evan said while facing in front, to his mate.

I know he’s referring to the fact that Jaidyn was a human and her being a mate of a shifter. It was not surprising since his Luna was human. He comes from the pack of my cousin-Jaxon whose mate is Jane Murray.

“Jaidyn will come with us. We will bring her to her house” Claire promptly replied to us as we approached them.

I walked to Jaidyn and slipped my arms around her small waist again.

“I’m sorry, Claire but Jaidyn is mine for today”

“Well, I don’t suppose Jaidyn agreed,” Claire remarked and looked at my mate.

Jaidyn giggled, “I don’t want to be the third wheel between you two, lovebirds, so I will go with Traian for today. And taking me to my cabin first could be too time-consuming”

Claire pouted and moved towards Jaidyn, hugging her. “Okay then. I guess I shall see you this Sunday”

“Take care on your trip and enjoy your break,” she said when the two parted.

Claire stared at me for a while and subtly bowed before she moved back to Evan who already unlocked the car door.

Jaidyn waved as the car started to drive away while I simply watched it pick its speed, away from my house.

“So, want to go to your place now?” I asked Jaidyn.

“Yup,” she answered and headed to my black ranger. She was ready to open the door but I beat her to it.

“I can actually do that,” She answered with a grin.

“I know, love, but I want to do it for you” I answered and closed the door after she was seated inside.

I walked over to the other side and climbed into the driver’s seat before speeding away.

As soon as we were traveling into the woodland, she pulled the windows down and stretched her hand out. The air sweeps inside, gently swaying some of her scarlet strands.
