A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 16

Kavi's POV

Surya's training in his wolf form was going great. But for some unknown reasons, Akhilan didn't like Surya. I highly believe it has something to do with me. And escaping Akhilan during the training was a big task. If only he asked me to fight against him, all my plans would ruin in a second. Because my wolf would just jump on him. She was getting so worked up lately on seeing our mate with another she-wolf. So I would always maintain a certain distance with him.

Life has its own ways to surprise us. Last week while I was returning from the tournament, I found a kid trying to escape from a few wolves. I was in my human form then. I felt a sudden urge of dominance just like the way I felt with blood warriors. The wolves looked at me calculatively and barred their teeth. I realized the kid having a faint smell of wolf which puzzled me yet I felt protective of him. My wolf took over and ordered them to leave and to my surprise, they whimpered a little but left nonetheless.

I brought him into the pack as he didn't smell like a rogue he seems to be like just six years old. I called Sezhiyan and told him that I have found a kid being chased by three wolves. When he saw him, he instantly recognised him and told me that he was the second son of Blood Warriors Pack's Alpha. And he said those rogues might have targetted him because he didn't shift yet. My tongue was tied as we both were wolfless and I can't convey that they didn't smell like rogues. The kid was asleep in my shoulder when I entered the pack so I took him to my home and put him to sleep in a spare room.

The next morning he woke up and descended the stairs with confusion written over his face. On seeing me, he stood still as if remembering the things happened earlier. I fed him breakfast which he ate eagerly as if he wasn't fed for a week. It was making me concern and I learnt his name is Iniyan and he was seven years old. He looks like a malnutritioned kid. But I can't comment on that on other pack's Alpha's son. His brother came to pick him up who was none other than the bully, Ilamaran I clashed with, on the first day of the college to save Surya.

I offered him to visit me often if he wants. He looked up at his smirking brother and sadly nodded his head. I don't know why he was sad to go home. His aura showed fear and sadness. I felt like something snapping inside me. But I have no power to do anything. I asked about the same with Sezhiyan. He told that everyone in his pack treats him differently and the kid was going through a tough life.

There was a bonfire tonight. Surya insisted me to come as this was his first Bonfire and for the first time, he was going to listen to our history. His pack lessons were arranged to commence from next month as he needs to first get used to being a wolf. He started hunting and he was behaving like a newborn wolf. His wolf was stable despite Veena's demise. It's like she wasn't his mate. It gives me hope that he would get a second chance.

I am getting close to Surya. I know I shouldn't. I have a mate who has been waiting for me for a long time. But I was getting my Teddy's vibes from him... not completely but I could find the same concern and sparks on Surya's eyes like I seen in Teddy. My wolf feels comfortable with him but I know our relationship can't go past friendship.

I got ready in a green t-shirt and blue jean and started walking towards the pack house. There were few groups and I located Logan, Mukilan and Surya in a group and went there. Dhaya and his sister Tamizh were also there. I sat in between Logan and Mukilan. Mukilan was already narrating our history. After some time, we spoke about random things and Luna came to give every group with food. She denied my offer to help and asked me to enjoy the company of each other. Logan stood up to give the food to everyone. The cinnamon smell increased and I found Surya has now occupied Logan's place next to me. I looked up at Logan who was smirking at me. He thinks we look cute together when I was closer to Surya. There is also another reason for Surya seeking my presence; his wolf feel so protective of me even though I wasn't his mate and he said that his wolf was calm with me. And I experienced the same even on the day he shifted. His wolf listens to me.

I noticed my mate sitting with his family and Pooja was all over him. His silence for her actions was what hurting me the most. I sighed and stood up as the time was near midnight. I bid bye to everyone and told them that I am going home. Surya stood up and offered to walk me back home. I don't find any harm in it. I nodded my head and took a few steps. Surya circled his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him and nuzzled his nose in my neck inhaling deeply.

I felt his aura was turning from affection to lust. He had asked me for dates and we would hug casually. But he never did something like this. It was intimate for wolves to nuzzling the neck. I was about to pull away from him but a loud growl caught my attention.

In a blink of a second, Akhilan was on top of Surya and he was punching him mercilessly. I was shouting at him to stop but he just gave me a warning look as if to tell me to shut up and continues to hit him. Surya at first shocked but his wolf took over now they were rolling on the ground.

Thankfully, Sezhiyan came and ordered three of us to his office. When I entered the office, Pooja was there nursing Akhilan's wound and giving me death glares. I rushed to Surya and pulled my hanky to wipe his blood. I heard Akhilan's growl again when I touched him. But I ignored him. What the hell he was thinking? He agreed to marry a she-wolf but getting angry on someone touching me. My wolf was surprisingly silent.

"What is your problem, Akhilan? Why did you attack him?"

Sezhiyan was very angry. The peaceful bonfire was spoiled and he was disappointed in him. The waves of his disappointment could be felt very easily. His anger increased at his silent.

"What happened, Surya?"

He asked him with an exhausted sigh.

"I don't know, Alpha. Kavi decided to leave to her home. I was accompanying her. All of sudden he started attacking me. I don't know why."

He said while clutching to his jaw which was healing nicely.

"Akhilan! You should answer me. You are going to step up to be the head warrior after your father. I can't allow you to abuse the fellow wolves. What happened? Tell me now. Why did you attack him?"

Sezhiyan didn't use Alpha tone but his voice was filled with authority which was making my wolf stir. She didn't like her mate being commanded. But she was also angry at his behaviour.

"Sorry Alpha. I can't allow him using the she-wolf of this Pack to satisfy his needs. He might have turned wolf recently. But he must understand the concept of MATES."

He said every word with so much anger.

"That didn't allow you to punish a Wolf. You should have reported to me. And I didn't find him hanging out with any females. He has his friendship with Kavi even before he has turned into a wolf. You can't blame two people for their friendship and also you don't have any rights to invade their privacy."

Sezhiyan spoke with annoyance.

"I am not blaming her. But I don't like her hanging out with him. I tried to tell her to not do that many times. But she never listened to me."

He said calmly.

"You have no right to tell someone to not do something against their wish. You are getting your punishment. No compromises. I can't accept your reasons."
