The Lycan’s Human Mate

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 glanced at me and patted 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?”

“Nothing. We just get our closure”

“It’s for the best,” Bernard said, patting her daughter’s shoulder.

Then Jaxon spoke, grabbing our attention. He offered me a sympathetic nod, “I believe it’s time for us to leave.”

Jaidyn gave me a thoughtful glance before squeezing my hand. Behind me, I could hear Kate, Sally, and Claire sobbing. They refused to go to the airport because they couldn’t see her leaving.

I licked my suddenly parched lips. Although I didn’t want her to leave, the words of stopping her to go seemed to get stuck in my throat. I can’t say it. Until Janette called for her, I did nothing except stare at her deep green eyes.

“Jaidyn, let’s go?”

Jaidyn turned her head to see her sister and parents going to Cayden’s car. She smiled as she faced me. I know I need to do this so I nodded and walked to my car with my hands folded with hers.

The two of us are surrounded by stillness once we get inside. She was staring ahead and I was attempting to pay attention to the road. The key word tries because it takes so much effort and mental motivation not to turn around and lock her inside my house. My wolf inside my head had long retreated far in the back of my mind, to swallow the agony. We have agreed and allowed her to leave but it doesn’t mean we cannot be hurt.

Because right now, it’s fucking breaking me to drive her to the airport where we will part ways. She told me that she could go there alone and I dont need to drive her there but I refused because I wanted to savor every second of being with her. Every damn second.

I pulled into a parking spot, stepped out, and opened the door for her before unloading her luggage. Until we entered, we kept our lips sealed. My gaze landed on the line on the road where Jaidyn, her parents, sister, and my cousin stood with their luggage with them. Like two completely different worlds.

Jane first approached me, hugging me and tapping me on the back while saying, “See you soon, Traian,” before going over to embrace Cayden.

I smiled at her and turned to greet Janette, who hugged me as well. This time, she touched my cheek and said, “Thank you, and see you very soon,” winking at me and adding, “Future son-in-law.”

In the corner of my eyes, I saw Jaidyn, hugging Cayden. My attention was drawn to Bernard who pulled me in a quick hug and tapped my shoulders, “Thank you, son”Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Both of them proceeded to hug Cayden. Next was my cousin who gave me a cheeky smile and we gave each other a brotherly hug.

“Call me if you want a drink and if Cayden sleeps on you” he mumbled enough only for me to hear.

“No thanks,” I jested and faced the only person that was yet to bid a proper goodbye to me but at the same time, I didn’t want to leave.

“Hey,” I began.

She bit her lower lips as she inhaled, holding back the tears that I could distinctly smell. She suddenly hugged me, which caused a smile to ghost my face. I wrapped my arms around her small waist and buried my face in the crook of her face, smelling her scent.

“I will be back, I promise” she whispered with her face pressed into my chest.

My grip on her tightened. I need to let her go for now.

‘Pull away, Train, f*cking pull away’

But I didn’t. I held her even closer and buried my face in her neck until I heard the soft and sad tone of Janette.

“Jaidyn, it’s time”

I gritted my teeth and pulled away from her. Unshed tears were in her eyes. I let myself give in to the thought of kissing her. So, I pulled her close and crushed my lips on her, kissing her in a slow and gentle, as my answer to her words. I will wait for her. I felt her salty tears on my cheeks.

We parted and let our foreheads touch, “I love you. And I will wait for you here. Come back soon” I whispered finally, “Agápi mou”

I know she understands me. She smiled and slowly pulled away, taking a step back. She waved at Cayden who sadly waved back at her.

And one last time, she gazed at me with those glimmering emerald eyes of hers and smiled just like the first time I saw her in that forest after we met at the pub-that warm and sweet smile. The smile I will do anything to keep.

I waved at her until she faced the front. In the back of my mind, I wanted her to look back and when she did, she waved heartily at me.

“She will come back soon, Traian, she will,” Cayden mumbled next to me.

“I know and I will wait for her,” I said as a vow to keep.
