A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 36

Kavi's POV

'I think we need a break!'

His words rang through my head. I didn't reply to him. I just walked away ignoring him calling my name.

After last night, he left to Green Ocean Pack. But then today he came here and told me those words which brought pain to my heart. I understand he is afraid of losing me. As there are probabilities of our mating might kill me as that dream-man said. But why he wants to stay away from me. The bond was hurting us by staying apart and pushing us to mate. That's the main reason he wants us to be apart. But what will he do when I go into heat. I walked to my office and sat there looking at the ceiling for how long I don't know.

I told the incident to our top ranking warriors and called Manohar and told him about it. And I am going there in a few days. Last week Sezhiyan asked Akhilan to tell me to meet him when we asked him whether he knew any strange thing. But when I went there to renew the peace treaty he told me that he had spoken with Manohar and I will get a call from them soon. He knew something but wasn't ready to tell us.

A knock brought me back to the reality and I shouted a 'come in'. Ashwin and Vijayan came in. I smiled at Ashwin warmly knowing the reason for his hesitation. After killing them, he went running in his wolf form into woods and other pack members mentioned he was at our pack cemetery. At last, he visited his mate and unborn pup. He seems refreshed and groomed and he hesitantly came in.

"Alpha!"

He called me that for the first time and looked around me avoiding my eye contact. My mind flashed our first meeting and I burst into laughter remembering him calling me 'bitch' for not helping him to remove his shirt. His aura was radiating deep embarrassment and slight sadness.

"Sit down, Ashwin. What brought you here?"

I asked him.

"Thank you very much, Alpha. I feel very better now and my wolf spoke to me yesterday after a very long time. And I visited my mate and my baby. I feel home after a long time. You made it possible. Dad told me about everything happened here. You told me to decide whether I want to here or not. You fulfilled my life goal, Alpha. I am now ready to serve my land where my mate was sleeping peacefully. Please allow to take up my position. It was already too late."

He said in a sincere tone. I nodded my head and looked at Vijayan who was proudly looking at his son with a big grin.

"I'm so happy about your decision. I have to go to Council in a few days. We will have the ceremony the day after tomorrow. Make the necessary arrangements for that."

I told them thinking about the new change gonna happen here. He will make a good Beta.

"And just call me, Kavi. No need for formalities."

He nodded his head and left with a small smile. That poor soul had finally found a way to let out his pent up emotions. Now he was free from his feelings. Yet I know the guilt will never leave. It will leave its traces deep inside. Vijayan held my hand and thanked me with happy tears. I patted his shoulder soothingly and asked him to spend his time with his son. They might have a lot to catch up.

My mind was so stuck. It's been two days since I see my mate. He doesn't even mindlink me anymore. Our connection was blocked and I even went to Green Ocean pack in midst of all my Alpha duties as my wolf was constantly whining and I too miss him very much. But no one knows about his whereabouts and Rakshana gave me an ultimatum that I am the reason for all the problems happening to her family.

I fed up with all these dramas and I started walking back to my pack to calm myself. But with my distant thoughts, I ended up lost in the midst of the woods. I sighed and was about to turn back, a whiff of wind brought me the faintest smell of my mate. My wolf instantly made me turn around and we started sniffing to get to the direction of the scent of my mate.

I came to the clearing but froze for a second when I realised it was Green ocean pack cemetery. There was no sign of him here. But I found a bunch of recently kept flowers near a tombstone. My heart started beating erratic as I could guess who it would be. Akhilan must have visited his brother. That's why I caught his scent here. I didn't visit Amudhan even once. He sacrificed his life for me. He was a very important person in my life. At least now I should pay a visit and talk to him. I realised I came across a small pond and went there to pick a few lotuses from there. It was the least I could do now.

I shakily walked back and stopped there and looked at his name. I took in a deep breath and knelt there. Tears started flooding as my mind cherished the memories we had together. My silent cry turned into weeps and into loud cries. I hugged the tombstone and started to let out the frustration I kept in me.

"I'm so sorry, Teddy. If I didn't come to meet you that day, you would be happy living with your mate now. I killed you. Please forgive me, Teddy..."

I wept breaking all my mental barriers down.

After some time, I heard some shuffling sound behind me and reflexively I turned around to look at the direction of the noise.

I let out a deep breath on seeing my mate coming near me. His eyes were glossy as well. I closed my eyes determining to tell him about my relationship with his brother. I stood up without looking at him. He pulled me to a bone-crushing hug. Tingles shoot up all over me making my wolf sigh with contentment.

"I thought you forgot it all. But you have actually mistaken our identity, Anjali."

Akhilan said in the happiest tone I ever heard. But my heartbeat now increased faster than before.

"What do you mean by that Akhilan?"

I asked in a whisper not believing the fact unfolding before me.

"I'm your Teddy. Not him."
