The Lycan’s Human Mate

I strolled inside the library in the town as soon as I parked my car. Our library is so big that even some from nearby towns go there. And for 60 years, it was Mrs. Olga McCain who managed this. It started from her great-grandmother and it was passed on to their family for generations but Mrs. Olga had no child of her own as the man she loved left her for another woman.

Since then, Mrs. Olga devoted her life to the library and raising the adopted daughter she had whom we found outside of our pack territory. It was me who was supposed to adopt the child but Mrs. Olga offered instead. And I know how that child was the reason Mrs. Olga continued living.

As I entered the library, stillness greeted me so was the dim lighting inside. There was no one inside.

“Traian” a shaky voice resounded.

I nod upon seeing Mrs. Olga in her dark brown long-sleeved dress. Her dark hair turned white due to her age and was pulled back in a neat bun that matched her round and thick eyeglasses. Her hands were using a walking cane for support. And her wrinkly skin was proof of how Mrs. Olga lived for a long time.

“What brings you here?” she asked.

“I come to talk to Lara” I casually said.

“Oh,” she nodded in understanding, “She’s upstairs because I told her to clean my old office for a while. I just have this feeling that you might want to talk to her”

At her age which has seen the passing of time and people, I know that she wasn’t oblivious to the things that go on in the pack. She had gained enough wisdom throughout her life. One of the sad realities of living so long. Living for 200 years, I have seen a lot of my people die, and so did my friends, one by one.

“Then please excuse me. I will go to talk to her”

“She’s a child with envy carved on her heart and obsession with something she cannot have. Sometimes, we can fix it and help them… ”

“But sometimes we just can’t,” I finished.

Mrs. Olga smiled and nodded, “It’s something out of your control, Alpha”

I walked towards the grand staircase of the library up to the third floor where the old office of Mrs. Olga was located but since she was getting older, she chose to move her office downstairs. I didn’t waste any time opening the door. Lara who was casually sitting on the couch jumped to her feet upon seeing me. I ignored her unprepared posture.

“Alpha” she nervously said. Her eyes widened.

“I think we need to talk about something, Lara” I coldly replied and took a seat across from her.

She remained standing and the clenching and unclenching of her hands didn’t go unnoticed by me.

“I didn’t regret what I did,” she firmly stated.

I sighed, reigniting the brewing anger within me at those remarks when my wolf demanded she regret it. “Daring to hurt her despite knowing that she’s your Luna was unreasonable, Lara”

“She deserves it! She slept with my mate and now she is taking you from me!” she yelled.

“If I were you I would think before I speak” I warned dangerously. My voice held threat that she dropped to her knees from the submission at the power of my voice.

My eyes flashed in blazing gold as my wolf wanted to come out and rip her head off for the disrespect she uttered.

I stood up, “I am here to hear of your excuses but I heard enough to know it was unreasonable”

“I… I don’t…. ” her voice was shaking so the tears were streaming down her face.

“This is my last warning, Lara. Hurt her or dare to threaten her once again. And I will banish you from the pack. Draw blood and I will rip your head from your body. She’s my mate, your Luna”

“S-she-she doesn’t deserve it” she stuttered, looking at me. “I have been with you for a longer time than her! I even rejected my mate for you. It should be me to be the Luna. She’s just a human that can never lead us!”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I never considered you once to become my Luna. I clarified it to you a long time ago. And I cannot believe you just rejected the man the moon goddess gifted you for something that will never be yours from the start”

“I love you!” she cried, rising to her feet. “And she won’t!”

“I never love you” I snarled, my claws elongating. The frames hanging in the wall shake, dropping to the ground at the power of my voice.

Lara staggered backward, the raw fear coming out from her was thick.

“Heed my warning, Lara. It’s my last advice as a friend and your Alpha because the next time you do something to her, I promise to kill you with my hands”

I slammed the door shut and the echoes of sobs echoed after. My blood was boiling and the intense emotion was making it hard to control my wolf. If Jaidyn’s safety was involved, I and my wolf would lose all our patience in a snap. And right now, I want blood.

As soon as I reached the first floor, Mrs. Olga had already had her head hung low until I passed her. The people around the area when I stepped outside all turned their heads to me, some stepping back. My senses are all doubled and heightened at the presence of my wolf and my members have felt it.

I am known to be composed and they seldom felt or saw my wolf and if they did, it overwhelmed them. I am a Lycan and an Alpha. are stronger, fiercer, and bloodthirsty than normal wolves. And the presence of my wolf right now exudes nothing but danger.

I entered my car and drove away, stepping on the gas and following the path to my sanctuary-to my castle. As soon as I reached my home, I pulled up, turned off the engine, and flung the door open. I ran towards the thick and dense trees and I shifted midair, my bones morphing with midnight black fur until I felt my paws hitting the forest ground and my wolf taking control of everything. My blue eyes shifted to gold, glowing in the rays of the sun. I let him run through nature knowing we need it to calm.
