The Lycan’s Human Mate

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 was 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 was depicted by the artists as brilliant gold. She drew her brows down low, but then she appeared to shake off whatever her pretty little mind had envisioned.

“What is it?” I asked, but I was aware. I was aware that she was experiencing some sort of connection or familiarity. My female is sweet and caring to those around her, yet she is also headstrong. She didn’t reveal it or give any of it any credence.

She responded dismissively, “It’s nothing,” and went on her way.

I nodded expectantly. It will be hard to make her agree and accept whatever feeling she has.

For the next few minutes, I was left astounded by the expression of awe on her face as she examined the different products as we strolled by the stalls. She made a few purchases while giving the shop owners a quick thank-you and a few polite comments.

As we passed the street, I focused on a shop selling deftly handmade knitted scarves. I didn’t think twice before buying Jaidyn the vivid green one that I chose because it matched her eyes perfectly. When I was done, I noticed a human being approaching my female. His face was filled with hunger, eyes raking all over her body.

It was enough to enrage my inner wolf. My kind would become enraged at the slightest glance from the other sex’s direction toward a mate. And just the sight of it wanted me to rip the man’s limbs off of his body.

She was busy looking at the things on the stalls, completely oblivious to the man’s lewd expressions.

The man stopped moving when I moved in between him and Jaidyn, his eyes widening as he took notice of me. I stare him down while holding myself back. wanted to warn him and see whether he was wise enough to leave. As if I were the devil himself, which I may have been, the man quickly walked away from us.

I closed my eyes and exhaled gently while attempting to control my rage.

“Is everything okay?”

I took another breath when Jaidyn’s kind and concerned voice cut through my fiery wrath. Turning around, I was once more myself, flashing her a smile that I was certain didn’t reach my eyes while holding out the wrapped scarf to allay her concerns.

“For me?”

She stared at the gift with wide-eyed interest. I opened the package myself because I could tell she was hesitating. “It matches your eyes’ color,”.

She snapped her head up with her brows knitted together. I only knew that she was holding herself. She was resisting the force that flowed between us.

“It was beautiful, really….. but I can’t accept it”

I felt my brows crease. I didn’t like that. I acted casual. Once she was mine, she would understand soon enough. “Just think this is as my apology gift”

She looked at me for a second, contemplating before taking the scarf and giving me a small smile. With the scarf slung over her arm, she then began to walk.

Soon after, we left the market. It also takes a lot of coaxing to let me take her back through the woods. Although the entire walk was silent, the delicious scent of Jaidyn that the wind so generously blew to me caused my body to tighten and harden in desire.

We reached the entrance of the forest of Grevis Town. She suddenly turned to face me, which surprised me since I had expected her to simply leave.

She softly said, “Thank you. And I apologize for snapping at you earlier.”

My lips curved up in a smile, yeah, this woman has wrapped me on her finger without her knowing, “It’s alright. You’re hot when you’re angry though”

She looks at me and shakes her head, but a smile creeps across her face, and that’s enough for me. My attention was on her lips, and I couldn’t help but feel desire hit me. The need to kiss her was unbelievably strong. I gently exhaled while curling my fingers into my palms. If I make decisions depending on how she responds to me, she won’t appreciate how my mind is working. She was making an effort to bury her feelings.

“I…I gotta go” she said but I could taste the hesitance in her. Her body and our connection to one another were compelling her to stay with me.

“If you still have time, we can go outside to eat or visit the library if you want books,-” she cut me off and the shift of hesitation to displease was thick in the air. It was then that I realized I had made a mistake in one of my words, but I’m not sure which one.

“No, no” she scoffed, “I’m fine in the coziness of my cabin. And I think you should go alone to the library because I don’t want to crush Lara’s expectation of you coming with a woman to where she works”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
