A Mysterious She-wolf novel Chapter 59

Kavi's POV

'Our mate was coming here.'

My wolf yipped happily.

Akhilan!

My senses focused on the paw thuds a few miles ago and his racing heartbeat only made me anxious. I just had learnt everything about my past. I am not ready to face him; yet. I should have visited him earlier but I was too busy to find a solution to save Maayan's life. When the sound of his paw thuds increased, my heart started racing and I did the only thing that my panicked mind was suggesting to me.

I teleported back to the realm of darkness ignoring the pleading cries of my wolf. I understand she wants to meet him. I can't face him now. I don't even know what I would feel if I see his face now. Maayan was occupying my mind totally but Akhilan…

I am just... avoiding his topic from myself. Even after knowing my past, I could feel the same love for Akhilan in my heart. The confusion and the feel of betraying one for another had been eating my heart.

I want to understand this whole soul connection thing. Maayan had a string of connection with my soul and my death didn't affect him because of the connection was severed recently and my mistrust made the minimal damage to him. But his love for me kept our connection alive and when I said I trust him to release him from Qywesir, the connection got rejuvenated. But our souls weren't fully bonded like it had been once.

Akhilan was the man chosen by nature as the most compatible partner to me. But Chandran used his divine powers to break our bonding even after he had marked me. My wolf and I are in love with him. I won't question the sincerity of my love for him. Because I know it was pure. The relationship that was destined to meet me at the age of four which gave me the hope to live whenever hard times strike me. He made my life so beautiful and gave me the hope for love. I misunderstood him and stayed away from him but he held onto his love and won me.

There is no question of choice. I can't choose between them. I love them both!

But… Was it too greedy to ask for both these ripened hunks of handsomeness?

A perverted vision flashed before me making me smile. I shook my head and sighed realizing Chandran would be cooking up a plan while I was leisurely thinking of the confusion in my heart. I should think and react in Akhilan's matter before something irrevocable happens. My heart won't bear his loss. He was near Chandran now. Maybe I should bring him back here. Would he really want me? Obviously, Yes! Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Blood warriors. Why I behaved like a coward and ran back here? He would have understood why I haven't come to see him.

A hand on my shoulder put a break to my thoughts. I looked up at Aadhira in the dark room where my beloved was laying peacefully left me in agony. I gave her a small smile and stood up walking along with her.

We walked in silence until we came near the place where we usually meet in the evening to discuss the affairs of the realm and souls. I opened the door and saw the place looking so dark and dusty. I imagined the place being clean and snapped my finger turning it clean like before. I turned around and noticed Aadhira's eyes were glossy – she was thinking about her brother. That's why she left the place unattended as it was too painful to recall the demise of the loved one.

I walked in and saw the three seats. A pang of ache made my heart clench to recall the brave soul sacrificed his life to save me but I let his sacrifice go waste by killing myself. I wasn't thinking about anything at that moment but my focus had been only the unbearable pain in my heart created by the false proclaim about my love.

"I know this place gives you pain. And I made his sacrifice go waste without thinking properly. He won't want you to be sad. Kathir loved you very much and he would want his sister to be happy. I could feel his loss made a change in you. You shouldn't blame his death on yourself, Aadhira. You have been carrying the guilt for the past seven millennia. Your cold exterior was trying to cover the kind heart of yours. I am so grateful to you for taking responsibility for the realm for my words. And there is one more thing you should know."

She let go of her tears free, dissolving the guilt and releasing the pain with my words. I held her hand and used my mind link power with darkness to enlighten her about Maayan. She hates him thinking he had left me for another woman like Chandran narrated it to me in front of my wounded warriors. She should know the truth about why I had died and how Maayan was also trapped in a sick game.

She gasped with wide eyes and fell on knees crying her heart out. I hugged her and patted her head.

"You are a brave woman, Aadhira. You did what your heart told you for the best and you have been giving your best all these days and maintaining your top position and leading our people on the right path. With the increased sins and population, I could tell how hard it would be to do the purification and you have done everything without the divine powers. Everything will be going to be alright. I will decorate our purification pit with Chandran's head. That bastard will pay for every drop of blood shed by my people. I promise you, Aadhira."

A tear of anger and determination rolled my cheek and evaporated midway with the way my skin burning for the revenge. She consoled after a few minutes and I teleported Aadhira to her room to let her rest for some time.

I looked at the empty seat of Kathir; my fingers were itching to get drenched in that dustball's blood. It will happen soon.

I spoke with Jasmine and went to the library to think about any useful solution for the antidote to bright ashes. I got an unsettled feeling in my heart. I massaged over my heart to get rid of the feel but suddenly my stomach ached a little while the nape of neck gave me a burning sensation. Could it be true?

Is there any chance for our mate bond to be still attached like Maayan had a string to my soul?

What are you up to, Teddy?

This pain and burning sensation is a reflection of a mate being with another partner. I took in a deep breath and teleported to Akhilan's home. I am right outside his door and the voice of the female whom my wolf always desire to kill reached my ears.

"… calm down, Sugarcup. That whore doesn't deserve you. You are clearly telling her scent had changed. Because she was so busy sleeping with her lover from the past! She didn't even have time to visit you once and ran away when she sensed you coming. Here, have this… Don't worry… I will take care of you. I will make you forget all your pain…"

Her scratchy voice reached my ears and it got repulsively seductive at the end. My wolf pushed past my barriers and broke the door. I scrunched my nose at the smell of strong alcohol. I fisted my palm when I saw that bitch sitting next to Akhilan in a flimsy nightgown exposing the outline of her body clearly. She withdrew her hand from his bare chest and looked at me annoyed with her golden eyes. Akhilan snapped his head towards me at the noise of the door got broken but his eyes narrowed and turned away from me. Her hormones were making the place suffocated which made my wolf go crazy as this female was lusting after what's ours. I used my power to break the windows letting fresh air in. I turned toward that bitch.

"Pooja! I warn you to run away before my wolf plucks your heart out."

I controlled my wolf and gave her a chance for the sake of divinity I have. But that bitch smirked and took a bottle from the table next to her.

"Moon God warned you would come. You are a traitor for going with that dark creature. I am going to erase the taint off our werewolf race by killing you."

She said with the same dirty smirk. So this was one of his plans to lure me out of my realm. She threw the content of the bottle towards my direction. I smelled it before it touched me.

Bright ash liquid!

I moved sideways and blocked that venom with my palm to make any contact with my face reflexively. It stung similarly as I could remember from my memory but to my surprise, my wolf healed me as she was so furious and wants the blood of this woman for pawing at her man. A smirk adorned my face and I looked at her with a sweet smile inching towards her.

"So sad! He lied to you because the man whom I am with wasn't the dark creature. I am!"

I let the darkness seep through my skin pores and flared it high. I got a satisfying response as her golden eyes turned back to normal while she shook with fear on seeing my true form. I took a few more steps but halted in my place when Akhilan came in between with a furious look and stood in fighting stance.
