A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 57

Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]

"How can I trust you?"

A part of me was still trying to convince me that Chandran was lying. But I couldn't conceive in these years and suspicion had sprouted into my heart already.

Chandran extended his hand to me which means he was willing to share his memory with me. I extended my hand shakily towards his hand. My palm touched his. My vision spun as I was connected to his brain. Visions of him blaming me and the fights we had were flashed before me. He blocked me from seeing all of his memories with a little struggle as his energy were low. His mind started showing me the memories of Maayan and a young woman laughing and speaking, Maayan hugging her at different situations, The view of his head from the back which was tilted to the side while he was hugging her close – He was kissing her… I pulled my hand away as I had seen enough to cry for eternity.

I couldn't see Maayan's eyes or full face on any of Chandran's memory but his back had a tattoo of my symbol which no one had in this solar system. That tattoo would appear in purple colour to me while others could see it in crimson colour. And no one knows about this. His tattoo appeared in purple colour in Chandran's memories. So Chandran wasn't lying. My man had left me.

The silent tears were falling on the ground making dark purple roses sprout out grazing my skin. My heart was completely gone numb on knowing I failed him - the man who had showered me with love and made me felt so alive. The days we spent together would never come back. The realm of darkness would never echo his booming laughter. I could never listen to his sweet enticing voice that always says loving words to me. His rubies – the pair of his mesmerizing eyes would never see me or show affection and admiration. I won't feel the warmth of his skin or his presence near me. I lost him. The 'Forever and ever' had quickly turned into 'Never again'.

What I felt as the purpose of my life had now left me! Then why my soul should have to live and go through the pain of his absence. He was a powerful man. He deserves happiness. I know I am different but I never gave thought to the compatibility of our bodies. He was immortal but not a God. Even he spoke about the children when he first opened up his heart to me before knowing who I am. I thought we would eventually be blessed with children but never thought that was impossible and I never thought he would go to another woman to get his wish fulfilled. Maybe that's why he didn't touch me for the last few days. And I feel so shameful to throw myself on him the last day. He left me because he couldn't tolerate my intimacy as he wants to be true to his rightful woman who is bearing his child.

"Aadhavan and I know that you might do something because he had left. Even if you try to cope up his loss, your darkness might affect the solar system. That's why we prepared ourselves to fight against you."

Chandran muttered in a fake sad tone. But I can't deny the truth in his statement. Without Maayan, I almost lost my mind. I am not myself. I could never do my duties with the same dedication because of the void in my heart and the darkness trying to engulf me into its hold.

My heart had decided what to do next. I stood up and teleported my people to my realm. I sent telepathy to Aadhira to take care of the people. They would heal eventually in their home. I summoned the dark hounds I kept as a guard for Moons and sent them to guard my realm in an invisible form. An unbreakable shield of darkness was formed above my realm which would only let the souls from earth to enter inside to go through the purification and send them back to the respective places.

I looked around the unconscious hunters and took back my effect but they didn't wake up. I tried again but there is no movement in them.

"Why aren't they waking up? Do you have anything to do with this?"

Chandran looked troubled and his eyes widened at some realization.

"I asked them to drink some bright ash liquid to keep them safer from you."

I sucked in a deep breath on seeing the hundreds of hunters lying on the ground; the darkness and bright ash liquid together had combined in their body making their death painfully slow. Humans are not some research materials. Chandran had turned them into a weapon against me which had gone terribly wrong now. They are unconscious and dying.

"When are you going to learn to think about the consequences of your actions? What are you going to do with their souls? This wasn't their rightful time to reach my realm. They can't go there and they should not wander on the surface of the earth either."

I asked him calmly. I can't think of any solution. My mind was so numb.

"I will take care of this."

He whispered and whistled in the air. A huge pack of wolves came running which halted in its steps on seeing their friends dying. Their howls filled the silent evening with agony.

"I expected something like this would happen. That's why I thought about the solution."

Chandran stood up weakly and raised his hands plucking the souls from the human's body and forced it into the wolves.

The wolves started writhing in pain as their body struggled to accommodate another soul. He used his divine powers to heal them and sealed them together. The wolves looked rather happy with the soul of their friends inside their body but their size had tripled and the divine healing had granted them advanced traits.

"When my people was a reason for the creation of vampires, it was a big mistake. But the God of balance had now created powerful creatures which would have no impact in the world, uh?"

I let out a dry laugh. He turned his head away as he got no answer. They all submitted to Moon and howled their gratitude.

"You wolves can shift your form whenever you want. So the human souls could have their time in human form."

He blessed them making me raise an eyebrow at him.

A wolf walked towards me and nudged my hand to come above his head. He wants my blessing. My heart warmed a little.

"Your off-springs will bear the same quality as you. Love is a very important feeling in the life of all living being in the world. Your next generation will get their soul bonded with the most compatible person for their life. The soul mates and the bond will guide you and stop you from the path of destruction. Nature will grant you the mate which would be recognized on attaining maturity. Treat everyone right because you might not want to see your mate broken because of your past behaviour. The mate would be a beautiful relationship – your other half who had been attached to you physically and emotionally - for you to cherish and live happily for your lifetime."

My broken heart didn't want to see any broken soul in future among these beautiful creatures. They bowed their head accepting my blessing happily.

"What if they didn't like the one got bonded with them? They should have the liberty to choose whom they want to be with!"

Chandran interjected.

"Nature knows everything. But still, if they didn't want the soulmate, they can break the bond and endure the pain of severing of the bond."

The words came out of my mouth laced in the deep pain of my own.

"Bring Sun to Qywesir and a dagger soaked in bright ash liquid."

I said to Chandran. He looked genuinely shocked and nodded his head no.

"Just because he left doesn't mean everything is over, Layla. We are here for you. If I had been in Maayan's place, I would have never left you vulnerable like this even if we couldn't get a baby."

The mere thought disgusted me and the darkness flared at him in a warning.

"I know what I am doing, Chandran. Don't question me. This is my life and I make my decision."

He pursed his lips in a thin line and shrugged.
