A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 21

Kavi's POV

I woke up with painful joints and realised I was still healing from the fight as I used all my energy to heal my mom's mate. I looked around and found I was in the pack house. I smelled cinnamon. I thought I mind linked Logan but it seems I wrongly mind linked Surya. I sat up and found him sleeping on the floor. What a gentleman! I was still in Logan's shirt. I went to take a bath and took Surya's clothes beforehand. I know he won't mind borrowing his clothes. The hot shower washed away my tiredness along with the dirt. I looked at the mirror. My purple eyes have sparks in them. I am not going to wear lenses anymore. I am not going to hide my identity anymore. In a single day, a lot had happened. I sighed and went out. Surya was awake now.

"Hi!"

I said awkwardly.

"Hi."

He blushed and turned away. I looked at myself and found nothing inappropriate.

"I am going downstairs."

I said to him and descended down.

He followed me to the kitchen. I grabbed some juice and sat on the dining table to relax. Logan came in and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and he sat next to me. Surya was sitting opposite to me drinking his juice while stealing glances at me.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Surya?"

I asked him irritated with his puzzling behaviour. Logan started laughing while Surya looked away with pink cheeks. He looks cute while blushing but what the hell is wrong with him?

"He almost fainted when you shifted back to your human. He was so shocked to see you naked. He got steadied just before your mom entered the scene. When yous lost conscious, he told everyone that you wanted him to take you back to pack house and carried you here."

I smiled at him. Now I understand why he was behaving like that.

"You should get used to the nudity, Surya. It's common in werewolves."

He looked at me with wide eyes. But nodded his head. I felt a strong poke in my head. Alpha!

'Yes, my highness!'

I asked Sezhiyan playfully in mind link.

'Oh my princess, you need to give a lot of explanations for the things you have done. So don't waste our time and come to my office.'

He linked me.

'On the way, your highness!'

I conveyed him and found Logan already going to the Alpha's office.

Time to open up! I entered the living room and found Mithun's family with Pooja and other pack members having a happy conversation. Rakshana and Pooja's expression turned sour on seeing me but Akhilan eyes didn't meet mine. Pooja muttered 'Lying bitch' under her breath but I let it go and smiled at Mithun and Rakshana. Rakshana turned away but Mithun came near me with a smile.

"I am so happy, dear. My son had finally agreed to get married. The wedding would be in a month. We planned for the engagement in a week time. This rascal at least had the mercy to give happiness to us now. Thanks to you, Kavi. He said after the war he would think about the decision. The war ended sooner without any losses. He surprised us by telling 'yes' when his mother asked him before a few minutes about marriage. I am going to get grandchildren soon..."

He paused and his eyes glazed. Pooja was smirking. But Akhilan was looking at his happy mother with a smile that wasn't reaching his eyes. I feel numb!

Grandchildren? It should be me who has to carry his pups! But how can he agree to marry someone other than his mate? Now, what is the difference between my mom's mate and him? Both didn't bother about their destined mate and made their decision to mate with others.

"Oops! Alpha is calling us. Let's go, Kavi."

Mithun interrupted my thoughts.

I was so stunned and trying to grasp the news. I thought that I got my mother back but here I lost my mate forever. My wolf was so silent and I felt her blocking me. The pain in my heart was so much. Once I misunderstood him for leaving me for another she-wolf. But I knew this time I can't get him back. Why should I be sad? He is the one leaving me. This is not new for me. I was about to open up my secret to him and planned to apologize to him for everything. I can't deny what destiny had planned for me. But it sure had planned something different for me.

I walked behind Mithun like a machine. We entered the Alpha's office. Alpha and Beta family was here along with Manohar, Mukilan, my mother and Mithun. I felt a poke in my head. I opened my mind link.

'Are you okay?'

I heard Dhaya's concerned voice in my mind. I realised the sadness was surfacing in my aura. I masked my aura with exhaustion soon.

'Yes. Just tired'

I linked him back and raised the walls back.

"Kavi, you know why you are summoned here, right?"

Manohar asked me. I nodded my head. I am not over the fact that I can't be with my mate for the rest of my life. But I should tell them the reason why I have done all these things. I almost revealed it at the battlefield but it was very vague.

"You have hidden many secrets about yourself. This questions your loyalty to the pack. We are giving you a chance to explain why you did that. If we find it is fair, we might let you continue in this pack. Else we didn't have other option than to banish you from the pack land. But still, there would be punishment."

Sezhiyan spoke in a stern voice. I sighed out and started to speak.

"I apologise for hiding these things from you, Alpha. But I never intended any harm to the pack. I love this pack more than my life. And I would die for this pack happily. You know we transferred from Green ocean pack when a wolf tried to force himself on my mother. After moving to Mountain shadows pack, I lived for a few years happily in ignorance being a pup. My mother wasn't the only reason for everything, but she is partially the reason for all my changes. I felt her avoiding me but I wanted her love. So I started behaving like a good pup and I insisted Granpa to get me contact lenses to make me look like a normal pup. But she started spending more time in office and once in the middle of her nightmare, she even attacked me. She suffered a lot and it pained me to see her like that every time. And I already lost one of my close friends.

I started distancing myself from others thinking they will be live better if they stay away from me. My wolf would go aggressive because of the pack members' teasing. But we talked a lot and she accepted to grow patience and calm. After some time, I almost turned invisible. No one bothered about my existence except my grandparents. In that pack, females only learn basic defence moves. They won't allow the female to train like we do here. I liked fighting as Sezhiyan always trained me here from my young age. But at the age of twelve, I found the real reason for my mother's distanced behaviour towards me which made me want to train hard more.

Grandpa and Grandma always took care of me when mom went to her work. One day, we three went to the mountains to gather some medicinal plants. But suddenly we saw some rogue wolves trying to attack a wounded woman. Later I learnt, her name is Zarina and she is a witch. My grandparents fought with them and being an Alpha couple they managed to kill the wolves, but a rogue who hidden in his human form shot them in silver bullets. Before he dies, he sent some of the memories of my mother to me with the help of that witch through the mind link. In those memories, I saw how one day when they return home, the place was wrecked and how they found my wounded mom tied to the bed without any clothes.

And I saw my mom telling that she had met her mate but after taking him home she noticed his mark and realised he was already mated. So she tried to reject him. But he hit her and tied her with silver cuffs making it impossible for her wolf to shift and took her innocence telling that it was his property to take and forced her again and again before leaving her tied up naked. He used masking scent to erase his trace. And no one knew who he was from the identity my mom told. But a patrol member found killed with claw marks to the northern territory.

I saw in the memories, how you guys searched for the person and failed in every move because of lack of any identity about him. Then the memory of my grandparents arguing to abort the baby and my mom telling that I am the light of her life and she had finally found the purpose of her life. The memories of her love for me when she was pregnant. Then the incident of why we transferred to Mountain shadow pack. And her increasing nightmares and once she was arguing with Grandpa telling that I resemble her mate and that's the reason she could not spending time with me. The memories ended there.

Then he caught his lifeless mate's hand and told me how much he loves me and he wanted me to be strong in every situation. His soul left his body after that. All these memories were like transferred to me in seconds. That witch thanked me and... she left. My grandpa must have mind linked the pack members because they came in a few minutes and took me back home. My whole anger turned to my mom's mate. I wanted to find and kill him for the pain he gave to my mother.

I was young then. I thought the training that I am getting from the pack is not adequate. I lied to everyone that I couldn't shift to my wolf. My wolf agreed to all my decisions and supported me. She didn't even growl out loud in my human form within pack territory. Alpha commands never affected me. I thought it was my Grandpa's Alpha blood in me. But it seems I was created from two Alpha blooded people. So I never shifted to Mountain shadow pack Alpha's command but fake whimpered slightly. They bought the lie. They teased and mocked me for a few days and then left me without talking. And it made me go more invisible. I heard about rogue tournaments. But the entrance was costly. I started learning computers and started earning to pay for them and appeared there in 'Black mask'. And that was the day in a week, I let my wolf out. They never caught me sneaking for those four years unlike I was caught here on the very first sneaking.

I told my mother that I am going to learn some defence arts from the human. She agreed. After two years, I trained in full swing to fulfil my revenge and in one rogue tournament, I learnt I was healing faster than other wolves. Then my wolf told that she doubts that we could heal others. And I healed a stray dog that night before sneaking back to Mountain shadow pack territory. I would visit my mom daily and use my power to help others in Pack hospital. But I don't want any attention from anyone. And no one gave that to me.

Once in every year, I will go to the northern region where a pack of wolves live in their wolf form and they were so animalistic and will kill without any mercy. I am still going there and train my wolf with them as they were the most powerful werewolves in their wolf form. I will stay there for a month during school vacations and live there in my wolf form for a month to strengthen my wolf.

The next year I found I could see people auras. My powers increased with my age. We transferred back here. I tried to find a clue on her mate. No one helped me but I realised a few have found who he was. I didn't want people to get close to me, because I am afraid of losing them or my ambition would put them in danger neither I want to reveal my secrets before killing him. Above all, I didn't want another heartbreak. All my closed one were either killed or left me. So I kept the secrets. On the next birthday, I found I could act as the medium to transfer energy from one person to another with my healing power and also I could feel a person's aura without looking at them. Then last week, Dhaya got attacked. I healed him and the war happened and you knew the rest."

I laid all my secrets in front of them and smiled sadly at them. It was feeling so good to let go of something that I have been holding for a long time. But there was a nagging pain in my heart because of the fact my mate wasn't mine anymore. I don't care about them banishing me because after a month, when my mate mates with Pooja, I would be feeling everything they do. My wolf would go insane and will want their blood. I need to move away before his wedding. So going rogue is not a bad idea for me.

The room was silent. Tears were flowing from females and the males were calm but their aura radiates everything they feel. Dhaya, Logan and Mukilan were shocked and sad at my revelation. Luna suddenly walked to my mom and slapped her hard across her face.

"See what have you done to your pup? Now I see why that cheerful pup had gone into the shell which was the complete opposite of her."

Luna shouted at my mom.

"Mithra, calm down. She already apologised to Kavi."

Sezhiyan pulled her to him and his touch calmed her mostly. Manohar and Alpha shared a look.

"Ilamaran and Krishnan were under the custody of Council for what they did to Dhaya and also for injecting you with silver in One-on-one fight. Vijayan, their Beta promised to take care of the pack meanwhile. Ilamaran was an emotional mess to know their parents weren't mates and what his father did to your mother. It seems they lied the entire pack that they were destined mates. And he followed his father blindly and now regretting everything he has done. At that time, they were mated for the benefit of the pack. I can't blame them. I want you to come and meet the council members, dear. Not everyone will have powers like you. And I think we would discuss what has to be done there. I will call you when you need to come."

Manohar spoke to me in a calm tone. I nodded my head in acceptance.

"Even though you lied to us, we can understand why you did that. You risked your life and put a fair fight against the pack enemy and you have saved the pack from the damages and loses. I think I could forgive you for this once. But no more secrets. Okay?"
