A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 26

Kavi's POV

I waited in Vijayan's office for five minutes while everyone gathered. I calmed myself and I knew there was more to come when I meet the pack. Vijayan walked me to the backyard. There were around a hundred people there. There was a stage like a cement slab with stairs. I walked up to the stairs and a collective groan echoed but my growl stopped them. My nervousness had disappeared without any trace and I felt quite confident.

"Most of the men would have known who I am. No woman has met me yet. So let me properly introduce myself. I am Kavithanjali, the firstborn of Alpha Krishnan. I was born to his destined mate and I don't want to discuss my birth now. I knew your Alpha and his son were now under council's custody. Luna Shrini and Beta Vijayan asked me to step up to my rightful position. I knew I am a stranger to you and it would be quite a big problem for you to trust me. Moreover, I am the reason why you all are here without an Alpha. But I don't regret doing any of that. I wanted to know whether you want me, the person born to lead you, to be your Alpha or not. You could ask Vijayan to step-up as your Alpha if you don't want me. Because the pack is a big family and the basic of the family is trust and loyalty.

My past holds lots of pain and I am not perfect epitome for an Alpha. I have done lots of mistakes and I never have known I was going to be an Alpha of this pack. I was grown just as a mistake of an accident happened to my mom. I even lost hope on mates by various events happening around me. I am trying to correct my mistakes and I am learning from them. I don't have any greed or desire for this title. But if you want me to be your Alpha, I will prove myself worthy of my title. My wolf has that responsibility to protect you and that's why I am here. Now you need to take the decision. You can wait for the return of your Alpha or you can ask him to step down and Vijayan can step up or you can choose me. I don't want my answer now. Think about it. I will come tomorrow here at the same time and I will stand here for my reply. Decide what you want!"

I finished my lengthy oration and looked at them.

It was strange how I was an invisible girl before three years and now I am addressing a whole pack for them to make a huge decision in my life. Suddenly Nakul started clapping his hand with a smirk.

"Do you think we would submit to a female? Our Alpha taught us to never submit to a female. Do you believe we would bow to you? Pathetic! You might possess magical powers and our Alpha blood may run in your body. But we have devoted ourself to our Alpha Krishnan. And we would never submit to you. Do you hear that female? I can smell your innocence. Go away before one of us do some irrevocable damage."

It was not new for me to listen to such a nasty comment. But the females in the crowd gasped. I think my mom's mate had done a great job in establishing equality among the pack.

"See! If you think women as weak and pathetic like your guru has taught, I can't deny that you are a great stupid. A real male will know that females are equal to them. Don't judge us by the size of our wolf. You came to this face of the earth because a female has decided to give birth to you and don't forget the pain she endured while giving birth to you."

I said calmly and heard him growling. I controlled my wolf to the surface and continued.

"My growl has the power to make you submit but I am not going to do that. You have seen my strength back at the war when I tore your Alpha limb by limb. If my mom hadn't intervened, he would be resting under the earth. And I am a female. A female who had defeated the Alpha of your pack. I don't know whatever trash your Alpha has taught you, but take it to your head that females are the root of every tree who was holding onto anything and bearing the weight of you. I knew not many packs let female train. But learn gender equality and teach them to your children. At least let the next generation be free of this discrimination. If you think so low of your mother, mate and daughter, then you don't deserve them."

I spatted out with frustration. Humans are far better in this case. They are at least trying to develop equality among them. I waited for him to reply but I found the female kneeling with their fist crossed on their heart. They are submitting to me out of respect. I felt a wave of goosebump travelling over my body at the sight.

Nakul made his way to me. I stood there unfazed. I expected him to challenge me but what he did next was most unexpected. He knelt before me and exposed his neck. Complete submission!

"Thank you, Alpha. I wanted to know whether his bloodline was the same as him. I am loyal to him but I hate how he wants us to treat a woman. And many other factors need to be changed. But we fear to tell that to him. In our younger age, we were taught to respect them. But when he took over, he started treating them less. We maintained their dignity all these years but they weren't allowed to train. I hope you will make this dry land back to the blossoming garden again. We don't need time to think. We accept you, Alpha. As you said, You have already proved your worth by defeating our old Alpha. The pack was already bound to you from that second, Alpha."

He said and looked behind. Every male started to fall on their knees and they kept their neck exposed.

A proud drop of tear rolled over my cheek. I howled loudly accepting their submission. They howled back in happiness. I don't know how to be an Alpha but I know what is responsibility means and I will prove them my worth for trusting me.

I proudly watched the pack and let my wolf surface. We could never predict what's life going to give us! I told them that I would be back in a few days to take the title as I need some time to settle a few personal things in my current pack. Everyone agreed. And I bid my bye and started driving to Green ocean pack. I don't feel like leaving the place. But Vibha and Madhu might be waiting for me.

I directly went to pack house to inform this happy news to Sezhiyan. I parked my bike and found Sezhiyan was there with Luna Mithra and they are sipping coffee sitting on the steps. They are simply talking and enjoying their time. I smiled but a lump formed in my throat. What did I do to not deserve such a happy life?

"Mithra, did you see that?"

Sezhiyan asked Luna while looking at me.

"Yeah. How can I miss that?"

She replied to him in an amused tone.

"Hey, guys! Quit teasing. What are you two talking about?"

I asked them with a smile sitting on the step below them in between them.

"You have just visited the pack but see your posture had changed to dominating one. That's Alpha thing, Princess. You are going to make great Alpha. I could see that."

Sezhiyan said with a proud smile and winked at me.

"You know, they all accepted me. I never thought this will happen so soon. But I could feel my wolf was feeling home there already."

I said with twinkles in my eyes. Luna squealed in happiness and hugged me and kissed the top of my head. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek and hold Sezhiyan's hand.

They always had this parent feel for me. Why my life was like this? All I wanted is a normal life. I just want to be born to normal mates who would share their love with me and maybe a sibling for me to take care of. A life where we all sitting at the backyard of our home on a Sunday evening and sipping coffee with my family and mate, playing and teasing with each other. But..! But I am not allowed for those great pleasures. I should go through all these dramas.

'Everything will be alright. Don't worry, Kavi '

Sezhiyan mind linked me and pressed my palm reassuringly. He must have noticed the change in my aura. But he was wrong. Already destiny had marked that I don't deserve happiness from my mate.

'Yeah. Thanks, Sezhiyan!'

I linked him back and stood up.
