A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 50

Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]

It's been a week. Kathir had been looking for the clues to how the rainfall suddenly happened and also for the traces of any moon dust near their residence. But like magic, nothing was there. I visited there yesterday and couldn't find anything useful either. The last week were filled with the visits to vampire covens all over the earth to make a protective shield for them. I can't make that entirely for the earth as it might affect humans to Moon's contact. But now vampires were shadowed and under my protection. I loved to visit places and to see the harmony and love shared among people.

I skipped the fortnight meeting with second-level heads as I organized an 'Essential gathering' for all the people and announced the incident to them. I asked them to be cautious and discussed other issues inside the realm. I have been roaming all the week and attending continuous brainstorm with my second level people along with Kathir and Aadhira to the ways to increase the efficiency level overall. I need to meditate very sooner. Despite every time I warn myself to not think of Maayan, he flashed before me whenever I notice some beautiful things. I didn't visit him. There is no need to.

I decided to skip the next brainstorm and went to the pond outside the castle that carries the first gift that luscious wizard had given me. I submerged inside the pond and took the lotus position floating with my half body immersed in water. I closed my eyes and established my connection to the universe. I felt myself taking my spiritual form and I felt at peace. I floated in the peace and the knots within me untied one by one. I got fully rejuvenated and enjoyed the peace around me.

I opened my eyes and realized I have been lost in meditation for three days. It wasn't an abnormal thing but this is not a good time.

I walked out of the room and went to find Aadhira. She might be in her office. I walked there and just when I was close to the room, Kathir stormed out and halted in front of me.

"Goddess! I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming."

He bowed and looked at me.

"That's okay, Kathir. Did you get any other clues? Someone might have been there to oversee the plan. We need that one to expose the truth."

He didn't reply but lowered his gaze in shame.

"Fine. Leave that issue and concentrate on your regular duties, Kathir."

I ordered him and dismissed him with a smile. The guard opened the door for me and I entered her office.

"Goddess!"

She greeted me with a bow and smiled widely.

"How's everything going, Aadhira?"

"Everything goes perfectly, Goddess. I need your consent to allocate some of the punishment to the new type of sins committed in the earth. Would you be able to see that now, Goddess?"

I sighed out as I never liked to read the list of new sins. I nodded my head and we proceeded to the work.

A month had passed. Things have settled down and there was no sign from Chandran to make any trouble and past two meetings with them had gone well. It's been a while since our creator joined our meeting. Maybe she was busy with other galaxies. After the daily meeting with Aadhira and Kathir, I will go to the lotus pond outside the castle and spend time there. I framed his painting and put it in my bedroom. I couldn't stop myself from sharing my happiness to Aadhira about Maayan's gift. . I will look at the painting before meditation and the first thing after I finish meditation. I can't control my mind bringing those beautiful memories of the man I love.

I secretly appointed one of the best guards to have an eye on Maayan and to help him whenever necessary but not to disclose any information about Maayan's personal life unless it is very important. Hope the man is doing his duty with the new ability of invisibility. He would contact me weekly to let me know that everything is fine. And those times were the real test to my self-control as I wanted to question him how Maayan is doing.

I wanted to meet him in flesh and blood. I want to enjoy his fruity breath fanning my face and the feel of being close to his warm body. What would he be doing? What should I do if he had already forgotten me? Maybe I could visit him once. It's not a sin to visit a person who claims you as a friend right? I will also get a chance to forget him if I directly see him with his fiancé or maybe his wife. I didn't spy on him for the past one and half month. So I don't have any idea about what's going on in his life.

I teleported to the place where the guard was, without giving time for my brain to create a second thought. The guard bowed his head and looked at me with wonder.

"Where is he?"

I questioned him looking around to find the sight of the person my soul was longing to see.

"There, Goddess."

He pointed out near a tree. I saw his back and my heart started racing with anticipation. His hair was waving in the morning breeze and he was simply throwing small stones from his hand on the water running in front of him. I nodded at the guard and walked towards him. I want to climb on his lap and do so many things but I can't.

How would he react?

What would he do?

Am I looking good?

I shut off the voice alarming in my brain and walked closer to him changing to a normal cloth on the way. But sudden anxious hit me hard and I transformed into the child form in which I met him first. Maybe this way I could get a kiss like he did the first time. The mischievous thought lightened my nerves and I approached him cautiously. But just like last time, he sensed my presence and turned around swiftly with wide eyes. He looked at my eyes and narrowed his eyes.

"Quit playing, Layla. Change to your usual form."

He scolded with a deep breath and with so much confidence in my identity. I gulped the lump in my throat and changed myself back to my form wondering how the heck he found my identity. He drank in my appearance from top to bottom and licked his lips. I could tell his beautiful cherry eyes had darkened a few shades. My heart warmed at the knowledge of my effect on him. His eyes hardened with a distant look suddenly and he looked away devoid of the excitement and relief expressed from his body just a few minutes back.

"So why are you here?"

His voice came out in an uninterested tone. I know he was faking his anger but I don't know why.

"I came here to meet someone."

I sat next to him and studied his fine features. How can be someone so perfect? But he does! The two dots near his eyebrow reminded how he found me in the middle of nowhere and that leads to a wonderful week.

"Oh! So did you meet the person?"

His voice came out in a little disappointment.

"Hmm… I just saw him lost in his thoughts and looking handsome making me want to…"

Before I could finish the sentence, he cut me off.

"Fine! I don't want any details about him."

His face was red and his nose was flaring. His behaviour was clearly hinting about what's going on in his mind.

"Okay, if you say so. I thought he would again give me a black lotus. But it seems he wasn't in a good mood. Maybe I should leave and let him continue his thinking."

I spoke with a sad tone dramatically and dusted my hand like I was about to stand up. But my words had a faster effect.

"Are you telling that that you had come to meet me?"

He asked with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Yes. Who else do you think I know here?"

I asked sarcastically.

"Who knows? You might have been here to meet a quiver of snakes."

He replied with equal sarcasm. He rubbed the spot on his forehead where he got bitten that day. I glared at him playfully. We sat there in silence for a few seconds staring at each other.

"Who are you, Layla?"

He asked suddenly. I didn't reply. He had seen me transforming in front of his face.

"I went back to the mountain. But I couldn't see any trace of you there."

My breath hitched as I never expected he would search for me. So that's why he behaved like that before.

"Why did you… search for me, Maayan?"

He closed his eyes when I said his name. Then he looked at me pointedly.

"You never answer my questions. How could you expect me to answer?"

I remained silent again. I want to know what is in his mind first. I can't put the pressure of my identity for making a favourable decision.

"For God sake speak up, Layla"
