Castellanos - A Flame That Never Dies novel Chapter 5

Soon as I walked into the café, his minty scent had already invaded every corner of the café. I saw his large muscular back and heard his dangerous growl as he turned around. His dark eyes captivated me. Right now, he screamed danger, but I wanted to do nothing more than comb my hands through his curly brown hair.

My heart was beating crazily just for him. Even more so as he strides towards me like a hunter. And it seems like I was his prey. His only prey.

My eyes refused to leave his. I have finally been graced with those beautiful pair of brown. It pulled me in as much as I wanted to run away. I wanted him and it scared me.

Millions of sparks buzzed throughout my entire being as his forehead dipped on the base of my neck and even more so when his lips brushed over my neck. My heart was beating rapidly as it was literally ignited with flames.

I felt him calm down as he inhaled deeply, his breath spreading the sparks over my bare flesh. My eyes fluttered as I heard his deep soft whisper.

“Mine.”

This Lycan that I had tried to avoid. That I had ran away from. This Lycan of mine, was here. Standing in front of me. Declaring that I was his.

I blinked my eyes several times pushing the tears back in. I inhaled sharply and took a step back, losing our touch. A deep growl came from him and he jerked his head up to look into my eyes.

I sucked a breath upon seeing his chocolate brown eyes that matched his soft curls on his head. He had a tall nose and sharp jaws with a slight stubble on his cheeks. His soft lips invited me. As my eyes took in his appearance for the first time, I knew that I would never be able to let go of him. Even if the goddess forbade, my soul would not separate from this dark Lycan god.

He was bigger than most Lycan and more muscular. Intimidating even. But I noticed the bags underneath his eyes with dark circles that was slightly visible on his tan complexion. Tiredness filled those brown orbs and hurt very clear on them.

My eyes starts to sting once again as tears forms in them. Was I the reason behind his tired eyes? Was I the reason behind the hurt in those eyes?

Dear goddess, please show me a path. I promised to live a life of suffering if you returned her back to us. After all that happened decades ago, how can I go back to living as I used to? But now that I have seen this Lycan who was standing right in front of me, how do I ever go back to living without him?

Will I ever deserve this Lycan as my mate?

Please tell me, goddess. How can I accept this Lycan? What do I have to sell this time?

Just name it. I will sell anything and everything.
