The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 643 - MATE

Lilac could feel the intruder was getting closer. Her adrenaline kicked in when she was so sure the intruder was inches away from her. The sleepiness that clouded her mind vanished, like it was never there just a couple minutes ago. So many things appeared in her mind. She was wondering how this person could pass the barrier that she made. It was supposed to be impossible to do that!

But then, she realized that despite her current situation, it was oddly enough that she had no sense of danger at all. Could this intruder didn't mean any harm to her? She couldn't explain this feeling, she just somehow knew that she wouldn't be harmed. Her grip on the hilt of her dagger tightened when this shadowy person bent his body and knelt beside her bed.

The girl was laying on her stomach, with her face facing the intruder. She was nervous and didn't even realize that she was holding her breath. She tried her best to remain calm and pretend to be in a deep sleep. All in order to conceal her tension. She braced herself to whatever that was about to happen.

Then, his hand slid across her cheek affectionately, and the sparks spread all over her cheeks the moment their skin touched. His light touch ignited thousands of butterflies in her stomach. Lilac knew immediately who he was. There was no one else could cause this feeling on her. But then again, it was impossible for him to be there. Could this be a dream? Am I dreaming? –she thought.

This touch was completely different from the last time they met. At that time, his touch was rough, and filled with anger. She could see the conflict he was battling at that time, he was torn between wanting to kill her and was powerless against the mate-bond. But now, his touch was full of affection, and pure tenderness. She never thought he would have such traits in him.

Jedrek's calloused fingers brushed against Lilac's lips. His touch this time sent shivers down to the core of her body. Her head started to spin and her body was reeling, wanting for more of his touch. The wind blew, clearing the night sky from clouds. The sight of the moon and its glory light revealed. The moonlight was not enough to kill the darkness inside the room, but it was enough for Jedrek to see her face.

"Mate..." was what he said so quietly in the dark. The guardian angel parted her lips the moment she heard what he said. Oh, Selene…—she said inside her head. It was all her doings.

The two creatures in the room were gleaming under the moonlight. They felt like they were under a spell. A spell that was sent by the Moon Goddess to help to ease the hatred between the two souls, blessing their mating bond.

Lilac couldn't stay any longer. She decided to open her eyes. And then Jedrek met her eyes. They were as clear as the Apricity River, the river that would never freeze no matter how cold it became. It was so clear for him to see the bottom of it. The beast wanted her.

The Alpha leaned over when he placed a kiss on her slightly parted lips. Lilac didn't seem to know what was happening. But she didn't care either when she let go of herself, and returned his kiss clumsily. Jedrek groaned when Lilac landed her fingers in his hair, and welcomed his touch. The feeling was something that he had never tasted before. historical

He pushed her gently so she could lay on her back with him hovering above her. She wrapped her hands around his neck as he pinned her to the bed. His lips left hers as they found her neck. The beast licked the sweet spot where he should place his mark against his mate's skin. The mark that would scream she was his. Claiming her truly as his.

When his breathing intensified, something finally snapped him back to his sanity. Jedrek backed away and stood up, moving away from the bed. He left his destined mate just a second before he claimed what belonged to him. Not only him, had the same thing happened to Lilac. She bolted to sit down, staring at Jedrek with horror in her eyes.

She couldn't see his expression because the wind blew again, making the clouds lingered and covered the moon, setting the room in darkness once again. Her breathing was erratic as she could still feel the tingling feeling from Jedrek's touch. Her body was trembling as she clenched her lips tightly. She didn't know what to do, or what kind of expression that she had to put to face Jedrek.

It was embarrassing! But, how could she not feel that way a minute ago. They stayed like that for what it felt like eternity, before Jedrek startled her again with his sudden move. For a second Lilac thought he would approach her again. A part of her wanted that. But she had to accept the embarrassment and the disappointment, when she found out the lycan chose to stride away towards the door, leaving her.

The roots, and the vines moved to where they were supposed to be. They moved along to cover the path that he left. Hell! How could her power betray her? and let Jedrek walk inside her room just like that?! Lilac's jaw dropped, she was beyond confused, disoriented with what just happened. Did he just...kiss her?

Lilac touched her lips and her neck. She could feel her warm skin under her palm. She couldn't help but looking back to what just happened. The worst part wasn't the kiss. No, she wouldn't add that to her list of sin. The worst part of it was when she just let him have his way.

==============

Jedrek walked in fury. It felt like he was about to go to a battlefield. His fists clenched tightly beside his body. He grinded his teeth harshly, thinking it would help to contain his anger. His anger that was growing inside him uncontrollably, seemed impossible to subside anytime soon. It was so intense that people around him could tell that he was fuming mad about something.

When the Alpha King walked past the guards, they lowered their head. They didn't even dare to breathe the same air as him in his presence. His dark vibe set the entire castle restless. Tonight was exceptionally quiet as Jedrek spent his time in his throne room. He intertwined his fingers when his eyes were flickering back and forth from black to red.

Jedrek was in conflict. He hated the fact that for a moment, he gave in to his strong desire for having his mate. This was something that he didn't know how to handle anymore. He craved for her. And now, after he tasted the sweet touch of her, and how it felt like to be with her, he couldn't help himself but to want some more of it. However, his pride would never settle and allow him to indulge with this idea.

He wouldn't bow his head and surrender to that girl.

The sweet little girl.
