A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 24

Kavi's POV

"I didn't help you expecting something in return. But if you really want to help us... I need a favour from you. I want you to break my mate bond"

I never thought my wolf would ask for something like that. I knew she was in pain on seeing our mate with another she-wolf but how could she be ready to break the bond? I am not going to stop her. It has to be done anyway. And if it would make my wolf feel better, I will agree to it happily. I knew mates were the very closest thing to a wolf's heart but she must have been very wounded to take this decision.

I looked at Jasmine and she was frowning. I exhaled a sigh.

"My mate is going to marry another she-wolf soon. I don't want to feel their every intimacy. So please help me break the bond."

My wolf said making me remember that they are getting engaged tomorrow.

"Breaking the bond of soulmates is not a good thing. But I think I could do that. That's the least I could do for the one who gave me back my son. I don't want you to experience the horrific pain. I had a werewolf friend and I saw her suffering when her mate cheated on her. The elders in my coven helped her to break the bond and I have seen the ritual. I knew it is a sin to break the mate bond. But I am ready to do that for you."

I felt guilty for using her vulnerable state but this has to be done. But I have very few choices. Maybe I could help her to raise her standard of living by requesting Luna Shrini to allow her to get Jasmine a home there. She went inside and came back with a big book and turned the page. She paused at a page and smiled at me. She told me that we could do that at midnight and she started studying the procedures. She cooked me a great dinner and went out to prepare for the ritual because it needs a big place. She asked me to sleep in her bed across her son and went out to prepare for the ritual.

I couldn't sleep as my mind was confusing me that I doing something wrong. Jasmine came inside and looked at me.

"It's time. Are you sure? Do you really want to do this? It may pain a little while the bond inside you die and your mate will feel it."

She questioned me.

"I am sure. It has to be done. He wants another she-wolf. I can't accept him anymore."

I said in a determined tone and followed her to the front yard.

"Okay. You need to shift into your wolf form. Wolf is directly related to mate bond and it will make the ritual easy."

I nodded my head and went behind a tree and stripped my clothes to shift into my wolf form.

"Let me explain everything. I will do chanting and expose your mate bond from your body into the air. Then I will use my power to burn your bond. It will give you a burning sensation all over your body but you should stay inside this big pentacle. After the bond burnt completely, you will be free from the mate-bond that currently binding you."

I listened to her keenly and nodded my wolf form.

"See, you have agreed for the same. So your wolf should be kept in control. If she started rampaging, I need to used wolfbane to control her. Because we can't stop the ritual in the middle."

She warned me. And I agreed by nodding and went into the pentacle that had big candles at each corner.

I laid in middle and she started reading the lines in the book and started pouring and putting something in the cauldron in front of her. I felt a strange thing connecting with me. I calmed myself and waited for her to complete the ritual.

I gasped when I felt something pushing past my ribcage and I saw a blue shining thread like thing coming out of me. Oh Moon! It was my mate bond. She poured something into the bowl and raised it and blew it in my direction. A rope of fire came from it and it approached my mate bond. But all of sudden a black gas like thing came out from the same place where the mate bond come from and it went near my mate bond and covered it in a spherical shape and turned into a mirror-like thing. The rope of fire approached it in slow motion and when it touched the outer layer it was redirected upward. The mate bond was safely inside the mirror layer. I looked at Jasmine and she was looking at my exposed mate bond with wide eyes. Before I could realise the glass layer pushed past my rib and my mate bond was again inside my heart.

She turned the pages in the book vigorously and looked at me to stay at the same place. She muttered some chanting and the blue shining thread came out and she blew above the vessel which made the fire like rope come near me. and again I felt my body releasing something. And the same thing happened like before.

'What the hell is that black thing?'

I asked my wolf annoyed.

'I am wondering about the same. I don't know but I could feel it was coming from us.'

She replied and extended her paw to touch it but it moved aside and entered my body again.

A big great failure!

I turned into my human and walked out of the circle to the worried Jasmine.

"Hey, chill. It's okay. Maybe we could try later."

I tried to make her cheer up.

"No! I am one of the powerful witches in my coven. I could easily perform this. But that black thing is stopping me. Are you sure you are only werewolf but not a hybrid or something?"

She asked me softly.

"I am just a werewolf but I have that healing power. Maybe it was protecting the mate bond. If I was destined to live with pain, no one can change that. Thanks for trying anyway. Let's sleep now. We will talk about it later."

I convinced her and she halfheartedly came into the house and slept next to her son.

I woke up with the sound of giggles and saw from the window that Jasmine's son was up and playing in the front yard excitedly. He stops within minutes and he will trace his legs in awe and he runs again. I noticed Jasmine admiring her son in happy tears. I walked out and smiled at her. She introduces me to her son and we played for some time. I should go home before night. I was already late. I freshened up and gave my number to her and left to ride the bike back to the pack. I nudged all my annoying friends to tell I am back through mindlink. But Logan's pleasured groan instantly made me shut all the links and made me turn red. I shouldn't have disturbed his time with his mate. Horny rascal!

'You can do it, Kavi. Don't worry! You can handle it! Just don't let your emotions out'

I said to myself to the mirror as my mother insisted me to attend Akhilan's engagement.

They have planned to celebrate the engagement in the backyard of the pack house where most of the celebrations happen. Also, my mom is a good friend of Mithun. As soon as I came back here from the council, she took me shopping and bought me tonnes of clothes. I was now caked up and stuffed inside a deep grey cocktail dress which covers till my ankle. I usually hate to wear heels but why not put on a show? I choose a black heel matching with the outline border of the dress and wore a long dangling white gold earring. I didn't remove my moonstone pendant even though it was looking odd with my new avatar. I thought I could say bye to this pendant last night but I was wrong.

My wolf blocked me from the morning and I was masking the pain because I should get used to living with this pain. I should find a way to break the bond. Though I can't get my mate back!

I asked my mom to go there to help her friend in the arrangements so I could go without any rush. My heartbeat was louder than usual. I repeated my chanting to calm myself and walked to the pack house locking my home. I took a few deep breaths to ease myself and took a long route to go from the front of pack house to delay the time as much as possible. But at last, I was just a few steps away from the place where their event was going on.

I stepped out and met with those elegant decorations. A small arc was set up in the middle of the ground and there stands my handsome chunk of my mate. He was in a grey suit with a black shirt. He looks so handsome as always. His stubble was so inviting for me to run my hand across his jawline. He was smiling at everyone coming to him.

His eyes looked at my direction and he locked his eyes with me. I knew I look different with my hair done in a messy bun and the blood-red lipstick was contrasting my purple eyes. His eyes travelled from my head to toe and I noticed his eyes turning dark. My wolf peeked to see his reaction. A hand cupped his cheek and made him look down. I sighed as I was too stupid to not even notice Pooja in shining blue dress trying to get his attention back to her. He was with his fiancee. The one he chose over me.
