Kavi's POV
My claws and canines retreated on the sight of my handsome mate. He had calm and mesmerising grey eyes with black hair. His sharp nose and chiselled jawline look so sexy. He is deliciously well built like every werewolf but not big as a hulk; he is wearing a blue half hand t-shirt and black jean which shows some tattoo on his left hand that probably continue inside his sleeve. He looked oddly familiar but I couldn't remember whether we have met before or not. The wind changed its direction and it carried the mouthwatering rain and pineapple scent of my mate.
Wait! No! We don't want a mate. Remember, Kavi?
My fingers traced the moonstone pendant inside my t-shirt. I sighed in relief on feeling the pendant's presence. This moonstone pendant will help me to cover myself from my mate. His wolf would feel curious about me but he can't recognize the bond. But my pendant has one disadvantage. If my mate physically touches me, he will feel sparks and his wolf would recognize me instantly. So I need to maintain my distance with him. My wolf howled inside my head sadly knowing I won't go to him. We took the decision mutually, but she has more effects from the mate bond than me. I shook my head and looked at him curiously.
"You don't have to do this, Logan."
My wolf peaked on hearing our mate's voice.
"Akhilan bro! She accepted a friendly challenge. Don't worry. I can do this."
Akhilan! My wolf repeated his name in ecstasy!
He let him step in the circle and shouted 'all the best'. My wolf whined that our mate wants our opponent to win. But I composed myself and stood in fighting stance. He came to me and extended his hand.
"All the best, Black Mask!"
The nerve of this pup! He smiled genuinely and it created a warm feeling in my heart. I stood straight and thought whether it is a trap or not for a few seconds and extended my hand
"Thanks. And all the best, Logan"
The pup's smile grew when I said his name and he backed away tossing his t-shirt in the direction of my mate. I was so tempted to watch him catching it effortlessly yet I don't want to give an advantage to this pup for striking at my unfocused self. He is not well built like my mate but he has lean and healthy muscles.
Unlike everyone who threw punches at the beginning, he threw kicks in the air while I kept on dodging. Though his aura has a hint of fear, he is brave enough to fight and I could tell he is well trained from his skilful moves. He aimed a punch for my face but while I bent to dodge it, he used his speed to swipe my feet. Thankfully, I managed to not fall down. My smile was hidden under my mask. He looked amused as his swipe is a little harder. But I have seen more.
So you want to play tricky uh! No problem! I raised my right hand to punch but landed a medium punch on his stomach with my left hand. He yelped and took a few steps.
"Logan! Are you okay?"
My mate wants to jump into the circle to help his brother but held by other rogues as this is strictly one on one battle and the rogues surprisingly made it clear to follow rules.
"Hey Akhilan bro, it's not that bad. I could manage. No worries!"
Logan's yelling calmed my mate yet he glared at me making my wolf whimper and I too felt my heart clenching. Stupid bond!
People around us are getting bored with this friendly challenge as they want to see blood and they want to experience the wolf going to submission which is highly humiliation for some wolf but few feel proud to submit to the strong wolf as they dedicate their submission to the strong wolf.
He shifted into his red wolf and gave me a wolfy grin before jumping on me. His wolf is bulky unlike his human lean form and I highly doubt that he has some alpha blood in him but still developing. I missed a few attacks and I saw his wolf surfacing as his eyes started to glow gold. And he launched at me and successfully clawed at my wounded side and blood seeped throw through my dress from reopening the wound. Akhilan's concerned look for me made something stirs inside me. My wolf surfaced as she wants to put up a show in front of our mate. He couldn't see my wolf getting on the surface as my glowing silver eyes were hidden behind my brown lenses. My claws and canines extended but my wolf is in dilemma to attack that pup.
We circled and growled at each other. He lunged at me and I ducked and elbowed his stomach. He whined and crashed on the floor. A threatening growl erupted from my mate but silenced at my single glare. He shook his head and looked at me in confusion. I stared into his grey eyes and it was doing something to me. I didn't notice that pup getting up and jumping at me. He pinned me at the ground and gave a wolfy grin before trying to catch my throat with his canine. But that idiot's grinning time was enough to knee him at his stomach and I threw him away using my wolf's strength. He landed little harshly and started limping. My wolf felt bad for him as he asked for just friendly battle and she did have fun playing with him.
