Warrior's human mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

JamesWe were sitting in another vegetarian-friendly place I had found online, waiting for our food to arrive. I looked at Laila with a satisfied smile."So… A million reasons why Latvia is the best country in the world?" I teased.Her eyes widened. "Oh no! You found that?"She hid her face in her hands, embarrassed, then peeked at me again."Well, that’s the ugly truth about my country," she admitted with a nod."Did you understand it?" she asked curiously."Most of it, yeah," I replied."Did you have fun?" she asked, smirking."Yeah, actually, I did. And I could relate to a lot of it. People make similar mistakes here, so you’re not alone."I winked at her."Good to know," she said, smiling softly."I like this laid-back, playful side of you," I said thoughtfully."Well… That’s me," she shrugged. "Besides, thinking of myself as your cousin makes me relax around you."Wait—did she just put me in the platonic corner again?"Otherwise, your flirting makes me rather… edgy," she added."E

JamesAs I inhaled her scent—fresh like sun-dried hay—I lost myself. And, at the same time, I found myself.I was calm. My wolf was calm. He purred in satisfaction, content to have our mate so close. The delicious sparks danced across my chest, stomach, and arms, igniting something deep inside me. I savored it. Having a mate was the most incredible feeling in this life.The more I breathed her in, the sleepier I felt. Sound sleep had been a stranger to me—every night without her was restless. But just as I was settling into the warmth of her presence, she suddenly pulled away, making our embrace painfully short. The loss was physical, a sharp ache in my chest.It felt like I was losing her.Her face held a flicker of surprise, and I wondered—what had startled her?"I have a special task tomorrow, so I can't have lunch with you. But would you like to go dancing at night?" I asked, hopeful.She gave me a blank look."What day is tomorrow?""Friday," I replied with a small smile.She cupp

JamesI had mind-linked everyone not to touch the room where Laila had slept. And thank the Goddess for that.The moment I got home, I rushed upstairs, agitation burning through me. I pushed open the door and inhaled deeply—her scent still lingered in the air. It calmed me.I went straight to the bed, lying down where she had slept. The sheets held the strongest trace of her, so I took slow, deep breaths, letting her scent ground me. My wolf, restless and unsettled, finally started to ease.I spent the entire day in that room, forcing myself to focus on the good moments instead of replaying the morning over and over—the sadness in her eyes, the way she had pulled away, the tears she had tried to hide.At some point in the evening, Fay walked in. I didn’t even have to look—I could feel her presence before she spoke."Why are you sulking in here, bro?"I glanced up. She stood in the doorway, arms crossed over her chest, her expression unreadable. I didn’t want to talk to her. Not after t

JamesWe wandered through Red Rocks Park until a winding path led us up a hill. At the top, we had a view of the amphitheater nestled between two massive, red cliffs. Laila took in the sight, her eyes scanning the unique rock formations."This is… quite unique," she murmured, nodding in approval.Then, after a brief pause, she added, "And a very clever idea to build an amphitheater here."She turned her head, studying the rugged cliffs as if trying to decode their story."So, what’s the history behind this?" she asked, tilting her head. "It looks like… an earthquake split the land apart?"Her gaze shifted to me, eyes filled with curiosity, waiting for an answer."Well…" I began, leaning slightly toward her. "A long, long time ago, there was a sea here. When it dried up, it left behind a mountain, which was eventually eroded. Then, tectonic activity—specifically orogeny—caused the land to uplift and tilt the rocks into this angle."She turned back to the view, eyebrows raised in surpris

I wanted to be like Magic Mike, but who was I kidding? I’d never done anything like this before. If my pack members saw this, I'd never hear the end of it. But some girls screamed like crazy. Still, all I cared about was putting on a great show for my mate. Laila watched me with that half-smile, as though I was performing some silly dance. She didn’t cheer for me or show any approval. I wanted to see lust and hunger in her eyes, but I didn’t. Maybe I was too far from her to notice those subtle details.When I finished and started walking up the steps toward Laila, she suddenly stood up and descended the stairs. As we passed each other, she saluted me and rushed toward the stage.Her fresh scent whooshed by me, but there was something sweeter added to it. I slowly sat down where she had been, pulling on my t-shirt and savoring her scent, now laced with something nectar-like. It took me a moment before I realized that sweet smell was her aro.usal. A grin spread across my face, and I near
