The Lycan’s Contract Mate

Arielyn

“Be calm my heart,”

I said as I got up from the chair and went to my bed, Ae was having a good time with what happened, her excitement was contagious and I found myself smiling like a lovesick teenager.

“Wait that’s his plan, to keep my mind off what happened,”

I let out a frown, shaking myself out of the daze his surprise kiss had sent me and I went over what he revealed, the king was going to put everyone in danger and not just his sons, I honestly hated the thought of Kendrix being at the front of it all but he had a goal and knowing his kind, I know he won’t stop until he gets what he wants, I wish the king choose something less dangerous.

I woke the next morning in a bad mood and remembering what Ken and I had talked about last night did not help my mood, I decided to stay in my room all day and when Raul came to find me, I told him I wasn’t feeling good, thankfully, he understood and left me alone, I honestly wanted to help Ken but why did it have to be my dad? The only other thing that took my mind off the serious situation was the damn kiss, in fact, that took half of my head and Ae was not making it any easy, she kept singing about it even while I tried to sleep, if only I learned how to shut her out completely, but she has been my closest companion since I found her, until now I never thought of shutting her out but I so wanted to now.

“You can’t I am the cool part of you,”

she whispered in a singsong voice that got me rolling my eyes, I got out of bed and went to take a bath, I was worried for Ken and felt bad for not doing anything for him, after taking a bath, I waited till I was sure he would be gone before I went down for breakfast after which I went back to my room and tried to forget all the crazy thoughts I have in my head out but it was like the more I tried, the more my head got crowded, I couldn’t get anything out of my head even after trying for hours so I took my phone and facetime Win-rose, talking with her always clears my head.

“Hey best friend, wait what’s with your expression? Are you sick?”

She asked when the call connected and I shook my head.

“I am not sick, I just have a lot on my mind,”

I said and let out a sigh.

“Okay, do you mind sharing?”

she asked, I didn’t know how to keep things from Rose, never have been able to keep things away from her, especially things that bother me.

“Rose, he kissed me,”

I let out what kept me awake for most of the night, that damn forehead kiss, Rose’s scream filled my ears and I had to take out the earpiece to avoid going deaf, I shouldn’t have told her that, or maybe I should have given full context.

“Wow, tell me everything,”

She said when she finally stopped screaming, she was so close to entering the screen, I have never been happier that we are only talking on the phone because it would have been ten times worse if she was here in person.

“There isn’t much to tell you, Rose,’

I said.

“Shut up, my ship is sailing, you guys made out again.”

She let out almost jumping off the bed, so loud, yet so wrong.

“Rose, we didn’t make out, he didn’t even kiss me on the lips,”

I informed and she stopped moving for a moment, I watched as she looked at me in disappointment.

“What? You just said he kissed you, I didn’t hear that wrong did I?”

“No, you didn’t, I just didn’t say where he kissed me and you didn’t wait for me to finish,”

I told her.

“Yeah, you guys are weird so where did he kiss you, young woman?”

she asked and I touched my forehead where his lips had touched last night and felt the flutter in my stomach, oh, the man was doing things to me if just a fucking harmless kiss was making me lose my mind like this.

“Your forehead? That’s even better than making out, oh, he is so into you,”

She let out, the excitement returning to her voice.

“Really? How so?”

I asked. wanting to know more.

“You don’t know what a kiss on the forehead means? What do you even know Arielyn?”

She asked in a scolding voice, I didn’t know a lot of things and I didn’t mind as long as it was not needed for survival.

“Are you going to tell me or not?”

I let out when she kept looking at me through the screen as if I was an alien or something.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“A kiss on the forehead means he values you and wants you with him for a long time,”

She explained and I stared at her in disbelief, she just made that shit up to fill my head with crazy thoughts.

“You just made that up right?”

I asked.

“No, I didn’t, a kiss on a forehead is a romantic gesture that signifies pure love, just like how a kiss on your collarbone means he wants you,”

She went on but I didn’t believe anything she said.

“You don’t believe me, do you?”

she asked after noticing how I was looking at her.

“I am sorry Rose, I wish the kiss was the only thing going on but it is not,”

I said, frowning deeply.
