A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 49

Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]

I teleported back to earth where Kathir was trying to stop the coven of vampires. Their eyes had a glint of gold and their face held fury and rage. I appeared to the side of the approaching coven in my invisible form to first see what was happening.

I saw Kathir's back stiffening and he muttered 'She is here'. It's always puzzling to me how he could feel my presence. On the day he was into an argument with his sister, I thought he would sense me like he always does but he was so engrossed in the topic that day. I smiled and made myself visible and the coven stopped abruptly and turned towards me.

Kathir had guessed it right. They are infected. Their eyes were displaying the proof and their rage increased on seeing me. Their mind was blank and I had a bad feeling about it. I could feel they have something that had been cursed and their target is me.

Kathir and a few of my people were trying to catch a vampire to check what was wrong but they were acting as a team and not letting anyone near them; like a very well preplanned strategy. Killing them was not in our plan. Kathir would have done it by himself but we need to keep them alive and find the reason for their strange behaviour. And most importantly we need to cure them. That's why Kathir sought my help. It was a well-known rule that Vampires shouldn't interfere in Humans life. A human kingdom was very close to the place and I can't risk the order of our creator.

They had known that they could make me come before them if they create chaos. All of them approached me in quick strides and I knew fighting against them won't get me anywhere but I need them to come near me so I could do what I should do. I used my powers to form an invisible portal in front of me to teleport them to my realm. They approached me and the portal teleported them to my realm. I turned around to see Kathir but he wasn't there. I told my men to clear the area that coven's left their trail. I have teleported them to a specific hall because I knew teleporting for the first time would make people dizzy. Aadhira was already there and the vampires were lying on the floor unconscious.

I went near a vampire and used my powers to find her problem. I scanned every part of her body. My eyebrows furrowed when I found the strange crystals in her kidney. I scanned all the vampires and the same yellow crystals were in everyone's stomach or kidney. I closed my eyes and raised my hands gathering the crystals from their body. The magic made the crystals tear apart their flesh making the flesh and skin to bind back flawlessly and the blood got disappeared in the air and the clean crystals floated in front of my face taking a shape of a rectangle. I turned towards Aadhira and she instantly gathered them in a jar to do her duty. I teleported back to my room because I knew Aadhira don't need to be dictated to put a few guards there.

I have been busy with spending time for the man who left me as a friend and lost my focus on my duty. I need some time to focus my mind. Then I want to talk to Kathir about this incident. It wouldn't have happened all of sudden. And if he had seen some signs before why didn't he approach me earlier. I pushed the questions aside and went to meditate.

I connected with celestial with full concentration. The ever blissful feel engulfed me and I could feel the knots within me untying and letting loose. After some time I felt the need to go back to my realm. I slowly opened my eyes and found a shadow walking restlessly in front of the closed door. I felt it was Aadhira and called her to come in.

"Goddess…"

She looked unsure.

"I couldn't believe this Goddess. Please take a look at this."

She handed me a vial of yellow and silver powder. I opened the lid and the scent hit me hard. My mind spun at the recognition and revelation of the cause. This can't be true!

"I crushed the crystal and this is what I get from them, Goddess. I never thought he would go to this extent to put you in trouble."

She spoke with rage and disbelief.

"We can't just jump to a conclusion. Don't discuss this with anyone. I will handle this. Ask Kathir to meet me soon."

"Sure, Goddess. I will let you know when the Vampires wake up."

I nodded and made my way to the library with the vial in my hand.

Before I could reach the library, I got telepathy from Sun asking me to meet him in his realm immediately. I know this is going to happen soon but not immediately. I teleported to the coven where Kathir was currently in. I am not going there without knowing what had happened here. I knew they will accuse me.

The vampires fell on their knee seeing me and Kathir sensed me before seeing me. He bowed at me and the head of the coven lead me to his hut leaving us alone. I narrowed my eyes at his silence and he gave me a small apologetical smile.

"I am sorry, Goddess. I should have reported to you earlier. But I wanted to warn the entire covens personally to avoid something like that happen in future."

He was doing the right thing. I can't scold him now. He has a team and every member of his team has the responsibility to look after each Vampire coven. The team will update Kathir about the daily status and he will report to me. Also, he wanders different places to update the strange things happening around the earth.

"That's Good. But now tell me how it all started?"

I asked him calmly.

"One of my men was supervising them. And the people were normal until noon. Suddenly all the people started shouting one by one and their eyes turned golden shade and they started thrashing their place. My man reported to me and I made my way there and asked Aadhira to send some people here to control the situation. She did. When I arrived, I saw they already killed a herd of horses. They weren't feeding off them but their motive is to kill and they work as a group. Not letting anyone near them. We tried to knock them off but they seem to have possessed inhumane strength. Then they moved into the forest and killed every living being caught in their eyes. They tried to decapitate some of our people and I asked for your help then. They seem possessed. I never seem something like this before."

He finished and ran his fingers through hair thinking about the incident.

He had guessed it perfectly. They were controlled by someone. The crystals were proof of them. But how that thing did go inside those vampires? They were instructed to feed on the animals or humans and their saliva will help the host to regenerate the lost blood within the day. The host will not remember the incident and spell was cast to conceal the bite mark which would usually leave within a day. And they won't touch the same host twice in a month. Blood keeps them alive and powerful. As a part of humans, they also eat fruits and vegetable. But Blood was their life source. The people in my realm weren't so fond of blood but their offspring was a big parasite.

"Had he noticed anything strange happening around the place? Did they eat or drink anything strange?"

He looked at me in wonder but I kept my gaze normal. I don't want to pressure him. But Sun and Moon would be waiting for me; to blame and scold me.

His silence only increased the feeling of the slight self-hatred for being irresponsible. I huffed and closed my eyes. The vision of the kiss I shared with Maayan flashed before me. A smile came to my face but my heart weighed with pain and desperation. I shouldn't think about him to get back to normal. It will become a habit. He will mature and eventually leave the earth and his soul would reach my realm. And I will in the position to purify him and let him choose the way he wants to go. OK! Stop it, Layla!

I looked at Kathir who had tight facial expression. I should let him know what he was dealing with.

"I found this inside the organs of Vampires."

I handed the vial to him.

He opened it and his nose flared and looked up with a scowl.

"I was called for a meeting with Sun and Moon."

I mentioned to him as I need to leave soon. He handed me the vial.
