A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 32

Kavi's POV

Now that I remember the dream, I knew that mysterious man licked me over my mark and I woke up after a few minutes and heard my mom saying I stopped bleeding. It only means he helped me from dying out of bleeding. But also he said that I was his!

What does that mean?

How can he say that when I have a mate already?

But I except tingles, I felt the same with him like my mate.

Who is he?

What if the council members think I am crazy or they might conclude that it was my hallucination! But I dreamt of that place exactly on my every birthday.

I realised everyone was looking at me expectantly.

"Actually, I do have one strange dream! On my every birthday, I would dream of a completely dark place with eighteen stairs..."

"How do you know it was exactly eighteen stairs when it was dark?"

Rio questioned me doubtfully. Yamuna (a vampire) scolded him to let me complete.

"I could only see myself where would be a ray of light from somewhere. I knew it was eighteen because on every passing birthday I noticed I was climbing a step up and last year I stood at the last step. The dream will happen like I was looking at the image myself. A dark air would surround me but the Kavi in the dream will smile at the man. I found it was a man last year from his masculine aura. And he would say that he was waiting for me."

I paused and looked at Manohar.

"Yeah! The same words that man told before stabbing himself. I didn't mean to hide it at that time. I just thought it was irrelevant and you too told he was insane. So I concluded it was a mere coincidence. I dreamt of him after Akhilan marked me. It just came up to my mind now. That man was holding me in his arms. He told that I shouldn't have let Akhilan mark me. Because I was his."

My mate pulled me closer and circled his arm around me protectively and growled 'Mine'. The tingles sent a warm feeling all over me. I smiled and said 'yes' to him and pecked his cheek. I looked at the council heads and with a clearing of my throat, I continued.

"He then asked me to come to him. He actually licked my mark and vanished into air. This is the first time I remember him speaking to me other than asking me to come to him. I panicked as I realised that the place was the same as I dream of, on my birthdays. He whispered me to sleep and I woke up in real. I saw Sezhiyan and my mom there and my mom said that my mark stopped bleeding. Now that I could remember everything, is there any possibility his lick made my bleeding stop? And who he is? Why I was dreaming about him? I have a familiar feel about him but I couldn't place who he was. He always had his face covered."

I was getting more tensed when I summed up everything. Akhilan might have felt it through bond and pulled me closer to him.

I looked up at them and I noticed Poorna and Manohar's eyes were glazed. Are they mind linking each other or to someone else? Did they know anything of these things happening?

"Why you have to bring such a headache for us? Are you hiding anything else? Remember and tell what are the unusual things you have been through. Or can you identify where that place you dreamt was?"

Rio spoke in an annoyed tone. That bloodsucker! I took a few breaths to calm myself.

"I told you everything. That's all I could recall from those dreams."

I said without hiding my annoyance. They looked at each other and sighed.

"We can't decide anything now. We can't risk her life by re-marking. Wait for some time guys. Usually, the bruised mark would heal with the time as the mate would accept him. Your heat may approach soon. If nothing was unusual, mating would heal the mark. But we can't risk anything. Take it slow. We will do some research in the meantime. Dreams are not as simple as you think. Leave it to us. But you should come here anytime we want you here. And try to ask your family members whether they have noticed anything unusual when you are young."

Zarina told me in a calm manner.

"Let me see whether we could heal your mark."

Vasigaran and Zarina stepped forward and used their wand on me. I felt a slight poke at my mark but nothing happened. They frowned and looked at the rest of them. They tried again and I didn't feel anything.

"Can you feel anything?"

Akhilanan asked me with a concerned look.

"First time, I felt a poke but nothing for the second time."

They nodded and shared a look.

"That's fine. Don't worry about anything. We are here to help you. Take some rest and if you want, you can go out. Dinner would start at seven. Don't get carried away with too much fun!"

Manohar said with a big grin and dismissed the meeting. Everyone smiled and we left with a formal bow.

"You never said these things to me!"

My mate asked me in a calm tone.

"Because I didn't give importance to it until now. My grandpa told those were some of my imagination. So I never mentioned it again to anyone after that. But I never expected my dreams would haunt my life like this."

I sighed and looked at him. He nodded and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Let's go out somewhere. Let not these problems spoil our mood."

I smiled and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged his shoulder and pulled me closer to him.

We went to meet my mom and Shrini. They were sad but holding themselves together. I don't know what to say. My mate wasn't like me because he was speaking with them to be strong. Shrini had the determined look after Akhilan spoke about Iniyan. That kid deserves a good life. I will support him and will make him strong. We remained there for some time and retired to our room. I changed into casuals and we went out roaming around the place. The dinner went very well except the fact Rio constantly reminded me that he didn't like me. But others were sweet as always. Akhilan too lightened up my mood whenever Rio spoiled it.

My mom, Shrini and Iniyan joined us on the return journey. They all slept in the back seat. We let a light music play in low volume and I leaned on my mate's shoulder and spoke random things all the way back. It was sweet and warm. I love to be close to him. We reached the pack around three past midnight. Akhilan joined me in bed and helped me to get a peaceful sleep.

The next day after the training, I re-opened the file of the rogue attack Vijay mentioned me. There were no details about the rogues. It seems I have to work on it on my own. Anyway, I would be going to the rogue tournament in two days. I may get some help there. I was fighting without my mask for the past few weeks. The rogues now knew who I was. And a few had spoken to me. First I need to find Ashwin's location. I texted Vijayan.
