A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 28

Kavi's POV

I have spent the morning with Akhilan's wolf. And I really enjoyed it. He was so romantic. My wolf was so happy for the time we spent together yet that greedy bitch wants more.

I went to college and came back home. One more year to finish this tiresome college. It wasn't physically tiring but mentally exhausting.

I drove to packhouse to see Sezhiyan talking about my transfer but I found my mate was laughing and chasing Pooja. A bitter feel crept to me and I returned home without meeting Sezhiyan. When I reached home, I found a bouquet of red roses with a card telling me to be ready at six in the evening with Akhilan's name at the bottom. My mom was home and she was smiling mischievously at me. I put them in a vase and I knew I should go for the sake of the promise I made to mom. I knew I was behaving very mean to him. But I can't erase the memories of seeing him with Pooja. It was haunting me. How can I know that he really didn't have any feeling for her? Even yesterday afternoon, he said that he should have married her for the happiness of his parents.

I called Kalai and spoke with her for a few minutes and told her that my mate had found me. She didn't seem to notice the way I meant it and she expressed her happiness and wished to me. We hung up after a few minutes. Then I worked on a few ad designs and sent them to the respective agencies. The time was around five when I received a call from Mukilan. He said that he was calling me to remind me about my date with Akhilan. I rolled my eyes at how much he was doing for his friend's date. I told him that I remember about the date and hung up the call.

I took a quick shower and walked out to find my mom riding my closet. She pulled a few dresses which I kept at last because they weren't my style. It was either tight or exposing more than required. She made me sit down and announced herself as my designer for the day. I denied to cake up my face with layers of creams and powders. But she didn't let me select a dress. I had initially planned to wear black with sky blue floral dress which was much comfortable to wear.

But she made me wear an off-shoulder dark purple dress which ended just above my knee. She found it was complimenting my eye colour. I will never forgive her if my zipper burst out when I leaned back comfortably because it was so tight. But she taught me how to handle that and I almost lost my patience with that mountain high silver coloured heel she gave me. She locked my other shoes and flats. So I have no other choice but to wear it. I just let her apply some eyeliner and lipgloss. My wolf was smirking at my bold outfit and I knew if she had a chance to get control tonight, she will ensure that I was marked and mated to him by tomorrow morning. She was very desperate to get him into our bed. I too like to be marked and mated to him but I need some time to grow trust over him.

My mom was happy with the final output and she snapped a few pics of mine to ask suggestion with Inba aunt and Luna Mithra. I facepalmed at the childish behaviour of my mom. My heart skipped a beat on hearing the car honk. My mom jumped and started checking me once again and ran to answer the door like her longtime crush had come to pick her up for a date. She hugged Akhilan and I could tell that they have grown closer when he came to drop the flowers earlier this morning. I only saw him fully when my mom moved away from his front.

He looks so hot in his white full hand shirt with his sleeves folded paired with a black pant. My wolf was gulping the intoxicating smell of our mate while eye-raping him. A wave of goosebump ran through me when he licked his lips taking in my appearance. His aura of lust and satisfaction told me that he likes my outfit. I was getting nervous about what was waiting for me at the shore. He spoke with my mom for the next few minutes. And I realised he knew his way to charm my mom. She stood at the door to remind me of my promise before I leave.

He was equally nervous about this date as I found him stumbling to insert his key and he was asking whether I was comfortable often while driving to the destination. Eventually, we fell into silence which was rather comfortable. I found we are taking the road to Beach and I could guess he was taking me to the restaurant on the beach. I will go to that restaurant whenever I go to the beach because they give a delicious variety of foods.

As I guessed he parked the car near that restaurant and helped me to get out. When I took my first step, I lost my balance and held his forearm to stand properly. Tingles erupted from my palm and he was holding both my hand to sturdy me which was making my blood flow hot. I feel foreign to walk on this stool and it was very uncomfortable. Akhilan got worried even after I ensured him that I was okay. He didn't let go of my hand and walked with me looking straight but a smile adorning his face was making him look so handsome. It feels too much but I like his care for me. He had already reserved the beachside table and I love the view.

"I knew we are always on the wrong foot. Why can't we leave everything in past and start anew? Like other mates who had met each other without any history. Let's get to know about each other like strangers and try to live like normal mates. What do you say, Wolfie?"

I looked at his eyes for a minute contemplating what he had just said.

Does he really like me?

Then what is his relationship with Pooja?

I shouldn't jump to conclusions but he let her sink her teeth in his skin. What if she marked him instead? He should have been more cautious and he should certainly maintain some distance from that she-wolf. She looks at him like a piece of meat. I just hate her. I noticed him waiting for my response so I nodded my head.

"Great. I hope introducing each other would be too much. So let's don't talk about anything from the past. Do you have any expectations for your mate? Like how I should be?"

He asked eagerly. I smiled at him and sipped on the juice to take a few seconds to give my answer.

"As we agreed, I am not speaking about my past. But my past made me fear of even the word 'MATES'. So I didn't have much expectation. I want him to be genuine. I want him to be honest with whatever he does. I am so tired of fake people. But time will only answer my question. What about you? What are your expectations you had for your mate?"

I replied with a normal voice.

"Umm... In the beginning, I had a few demands of my mate's character but eventually, my waiting game broke those demands. But after meeting you again, I can't think about anyone else.

And I could meet your expectations. I will not be one of the fake people you met."

He said cheerfully. But I have already one incident where you proved me wrong, my dear mate! I gave him a fake smile.

We spoke about our professions and hobbies. And he had most of interests like teddy which was similar to mine. I eventually started feeling comfortable with his presence. After all, he is my mate. Our dinner went better than I expected but the only thing that disturbed me is my fucking heels. We decided to go for a walk on this dark beach. He intertwined his finger with mine making a small purr slip out of me. My wolf was adoring him and commenting about his every action inside my head from the beginning of this date.

When I stumbled for the fourth time in the walk, he let go of my hand and knelt to remove my heel. I was startled at first when he touched my feet. I reflexively held his shoulder and joined my thighs. Males would usually hesitate to touch their mates' feet as it was a question of dominance. But he smiled at me while removing the heels and slightly rubbed my feet on seeing red marks. By touching my feet without any hesitation to bring comfort to me, he showed his dedication to our relationship and he made me feel equal. My wolf was pretty impressed. I let my feet touch the fine sand and walked loving the feel of blending with nature. I took my heels from him and he again held my hand and we resumed our walk in silence. He looked so sincere about our relationship but the doubts and fear were still there in my heart but not much as I had before the date. Maybe I could grow to trust him.

After some time we decided to go back. I don't know how his mother was dealing with our relationship but I knew she wasn't happy with him spending time with me. But I could feel the mate bond growing stronger with the more time we are spending together. We drove back and he stopped in front of my home and opened the door for me again. His aura was radiating nervousness but also a deep desire.

"Thank you, Akhilan. I had a great evening."

I genuinely told him. He smiled charmingly. His smile has an indefinable effect on me. I was having a distant look and thinking about us but failed to notice him leaning forward.

His hands circled my waist and I came back to my senses but my senses blinded when his lips pressed on mine. His other hand was cupping the side of my head and stroking my cheek softly with his thumb.

As the magical creatures, we do have these wonderful effects for magical moments like this. I couldn't think rationally as he started moving his lips and my body was heating up and my brain was producing more dopamine and oxytocin making my core get wet. All the neurons in my brain were dancing in ecstasy.

His lips tasted so sweet and soft between my lips. And I don't want this moment to end. I put my hand around his neck and pulled him closer to me giving in to the desire.

My heartbeat calmed down and I could listen to our synchronized beats. It was like my fears and doubts were disappeared when his lip made contact with mine. My feelings were on haywire! It felt like a caged up love of eternity has found its way back home. A gush of loud wind made our embrace get tight. Loud lighting struck as if wanting to remind us to let our poor lungs refill the oxygen. Nature seems to react to witness our romance.
