Kavi's POV
I mind linked Paari and he confirmed that Ashwin was still in his den. He would be having a hangover but I have a trick in my sleeve. I took my bike and made my way to his apartment. I knocked a few times as I want to start it right; sneaking might make him irritated. After a few minutes, he opened the door with an irritated look holding his head.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
He asked me with a groan. I extended my hand and touched his head. I connected to his heartbeat and hydrated his system and took his headache away. He narrowed his eyes and pulled me in, drawing a knife out of nowhere and held it to my neck.
"Who are you, bitch? You smell like a werewolf but performing magic? Are you a hybrid?"
I rolled my eyes and looked at him with bored expression with the scrunched up nose. He actually reeks of alcohol.
"I want you to come with me to Blood Warriors Pack."
He studied my eyes and took a step back.
"Go back if you want to live. You don't have any right to call me back."
His voice came out in dangerously warning tone. My wolf was annoyed with his ignorant behaviour. If he let his wolf feel who I am, he would have known who I was actually.
"I have every right to call you back. If Vijay had a daughter, she will be doing the same thing as me."
I raised my voice to make him understand he was doing everything in the wrong way. His eyes softened a bit.
"Drinking isn't the way to reach your goals. It will destroy you inside out. Come back home. We need you and you won't regret coming back. I promise that."
He listened to me calmly but nodded his head 'no'
"I can't!"
"What do you mean you can't. Are you going to live the rest of your life like this?"
I asked that stupid.
"Don't order me around. I shouldn't have let you in. Get the fuck out of here, bitch. I don't need anyone. You don't know what I have been through."
His yelling silenced at the end but he was controlling himself from breaking down.
"I knew, Ashwin. I knew what you have been through. I could totally understand you. And I am here to try to straighten your life."
"WHAT YOU KNOW? HAVE YOU EVER FELT YOUR LOVED ONE DYING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES. You could see their life separating from their body every passing second but still... STILL, you could not do anything even though you have beta blood in you. Have you ever experienced the inability to save your loved ones who were dying in front of your eyes and it was your mistake for being weak and stupid? No! No one would have felt the pain of your heart breaking in front of their eyes. But I did. If you don't know that pain, you have no right to speak to me. Fuck off!"
"SHUT UP! I didn't lose my mate. But I knew that PAIN! That pain was living inside me from the age of FIVE! From the age of Five! Do you think that destiny decided to only fuck your life? No! Destiny was so happy to fuck up everyone's life? You are asking me about pain? It wasn't even wrong to say it was born with me. To say it right, it was a part of me when I was formed in my mother's womb. Did you have a fucked-up childhood where your mother avoid you just because you are an outcome of her rape by her own mate and who abandoned her after using her? You asked me whether I knew the pain of losing the one who was close to your heart in front of my eyes right?
Yes! I have experienced that pain. When I was four, I met with a boy on the top of the mountain. We had a strange type of connection between us. Our one-year friendship had its first fight because of my immaturity and I didn't speak to him for four months. A bastard then tried to rape my mom and she wants to leave the pack. I was afraid of not seeing him again and went to our meeting spot and howled for him. Maybe if I didn't go there, he would be alive now... He would have been alive now! A rogue attack just like the one happened to you turned my life upside down. They injected me with silver and attacked him. Before we could get help, the rouges poured something on him and I saw him struggling to breathe and going limp. I could still remember his hazel green eyes when it turned lifeless. It made me take a drastic decision to not let anyone close in my life. Because I can't bear the pain of losing them. The same pain you said!
At least you have the chance to take revenge on the bastards who killed your mate and avenge their death. But I wasn't even given that chance. My Teddy died because of my stupidity. Because I was weak instead of having Alpha blood in me. And that's not the end of my miseries. But I am not here to get your pity from my past. You are so lost when you are alone. You need people to be strong. Don't close yourself. We are here for you. And I have the greatest gift for you. Come with me. Just see what I have for you and decide whether you want to stay there or ruin the rest of your life in alcohol. I won't compel you. No one will. I promise."
My pent up feeling came up but the good thing is he agreed to come with me.
The drive back to the Pack was silent. Paari was behind me and Ashwin was driving his bike beside us in silence. We reached pack territory and the patrol's eyes went wide. I quickly mind linked them to be normal. It had an instant effect.
Pack members were training outside the pack house and I parked my bike at my usual place. Ashwin seems to be surprised to see the women training along with men. I am proud to tell that my females are naturally strong equal to men.
Suba, Ashwin's mother came running on seeing him and hugged him tightly. His eyes welled up but quickly he wiped them. It seems he never came here when he was sober. Vijayan came near us and looked at us in surprise. He looked at me questioningly. I just smiled at him and linked him to not ask anything now. He nodded his head and stood beside his son and touched him lovingly. I never saw Vijay radiating this happy aura before.
Ashwin looked at me and I knew he wants to know why I brought him here. I mind linked Nakul and Hari to bring Lee first and then Shyam at last. I saw them going towards dungeon and I asked Ashwin to wait. I mind linked my females that Ashwin will be killing the people who killed his mate and asked them to go. But I got a unison reply that they to want to be here. The tall man who I captivated first was handed over to the council. He is one of the most wanted criminals so he will live the rest of his life in council prison. I felt Ashwin's aura turned into a rage and found Hari dragging Lee by his hair. Ashwin looked at me with wide eyes.
"Go!"
I said and before I could finish that mono-syllable he shifted into his wolf and went near his kill. He tore his flesh with loud growls and decapitated him. It was oddly satisfying for me to see him avenging his mate. His wolf didn't identify dark viper's leader and third in command as he never has seen them. The guard unlocked their chain and pushed them down. The leader was beaten and bruised. Ashwin's looked at my direction.
"They are the brain of Dark vipers. He is number one bastard and he is number three."
I walked up to him and showed him the identity. He happily stepped forward to tear them into pieces. He was panting and howling in pain. He was letting out the pain of losing his mate for the first time and he was uncontrollably in rage. I kept my hand on both sides of his wolfy head.
"I am going to bring your ultimate gift but I want you to listen to me."
He growled in denial.
"Trust me. Let make his death like no one have ever experienced. Shift to your human and let out your pent up emotions. Let it go! You should free yourself from the guilt!"
I softly whispered to him. I have already planned for his death and Ashwin nodded his head now that I promised for the painful death of his mate and pup's murderer. I mind linked Nakul to bring Shyam. A loud growl erupted from him and he shifted back. He pulled the shorts quickly and ran to Shyam and punched him across his face. A crack echoed the place. Punch after the punch was delivered to him. When his heartbeat starts falling I asked Ashwin to stop. I went near his bloodied work and healed that bastard. He looked at me like I have grown horns.
"Are you healing him? Why?"
"I know you didn't get enough. Beat him again."
His eyes shone in understanding and he started hitting him again. I waited for the heartbeat to go down and pulled him again from the hands of death. He should fear to kill a woman or pup even in his next birth. I will give him enough pain to remember it. That bastard's blood was drenching my dress but I am least bothered. By the way, I am enjoying the torture. I wish I could punish the person killed my Teddy in the same way.
Tears started rolling Ashwin's eyes as he punched the rogue every time questioning what was the wrong he had done and why he killed his mate and child. The crowd were cringing at the bloodied scene but they were experiencing the rage of the wolf to the killer of his mate. Some female was crying telling that Beta female was a wonderful woman and they miss her. His pain started turning into a rage and he shifted into his wolf and started scratching and biting all over him. I healed him just before his last beat stop as I want him to feel the pain again and again.
My energy started falling after the seventh time of bringing him back to life and I fell on my knees. The sleepless nights and my burning mark were taking a toll on me. He looked at my direction and with a loud howl, he decapitated his head. I started feeling dizzy but I felt tingles across my hand. My mate looked at me with concern and shouting for the doctor. I smiled with a sigh feeling at home and hugged him with my bloodied body.
"I feel like I avenged for my own past."
I whispered in a contented voice and drifted to darkness.
When I opened my eyes, I was in my bed. I feel clean without any trace of that bastard's blood on me. I sat up and I still had a hint of exhaustion in me. After getting marked, I was fainting a lot. Oh moon! What was I thinking!
