Chapter 14 Chapter 11


    Kavi''s POV


    I am wearing a in half white short kurti and blue jean. Yeah, girly right? My wardrobe had upgraded


    with constant advises and shopping sagas with Luna Mithra and Inba aunt. The pack dinner was the


    most important thing because any gathering would improve the rtionship between the pack

    members.


    Pooja was roaming in a shining bright red coloured knee length dress. She sure has a variety of shy


    dresses and she never missed an opportunity to wear them. She was happily roaming like this


    gathering is for her and giving me the same dirty smirk whenever she saw me. I ignored her and


    helping the mothers to take care of the pups. Just like everyone I miss my carefree pup life.


    Mukn was with me. Dhaya and Logan were with their fathers as they are learning things before


    taking the charge. Mukn was like a brother to me. Just like Logan, he cares for me more and he


    shows his care expressively unlike my mother. Dhaya''s flirting never ceased and he would love to


    tease me whenever he gets a chance. Mukn stepped up earlier because he lost both of his parents


    in a car ident a few years back. And that maturity will be reflected in his every act. In the past year, I


    have tried in many ways to bring any clues about the monster but I failed in every step of my efforts.


    While I was chasing a pup on the backyard, who has a very yful mood, the pup bumped into


    someone. The heavenly scent of rain and pineapple with his fresh body wash scent filled my nose. I


    looked up at him. He was smiling at the pup and lifted her in his hand and checked for any wounds.


    ''He would make a great father.''


    My wolf piped in with a purr. I ignored her as he was so handsome in his white shirt and blue jean.


    Wait! We are wearing the same coloured clothes. My wolf jumped like an excited kid on that realisation.


    He looked up at me and smiled. His vibrant grey eyes made my breath hitch. He was so handsome and


    hot. I kept my face nk and turned around to go inside. I felt his aura turning into disappointment


    which was actually scaring me.


    Why was he getting disappointed?


    I touched my moonstone pendant and sent a quick prayer to Moon God and went inside to join with


    Mukn. I noticed Dhayaing in my direction. He was wearing a ck shirt and blue jean and


    looking handsome as always. His yfulness in his eyes and the smirk on his lips warned me that he


    was nning something. I raised my eyebrow at him and nudged my elbow at Mukn''s back for


    backup.


    "Hey gorgeous, would you do the honour of staying my side in this beautiful evening?"


    I would always tease him for all these antiques. At the same time, I saw my mate entering the house


    with the pup in one hand and that Pooja was clinging on his other hand.


    I wanted to say ''yes'' and put a show to see my mate''s reaction but the idea was like a double-edged


    knife. I can''t give wrong signals to Dhaya. So as always I smacked his arm yfully and shrugged the


    matter off. I saw Akhn joining his parents in my peripheral vision.


    I focused my wolf hearing on their conversation but regretted as soon as I heard what they were


    talking. Rakshana was telling how excited she was to announce that Akhn and Pooja were going to


    get married in a few months. My wolf howled inside me in pain. I too was shocked to hear that.


    Above all, his silence to his mother''s statement was scaring me. So it was true. And this is what the


    announcement my uncle said. Yeah! He would be happy for the wedding of his friend''s son. Suddenly I


    felt my wolf getting aggressive. I instantly left the ce and started running after a few meters after


    checking no one was there. It pains to me too but I need to calm her down. When I came to the border


    of the territory, I struggled to gain my control back and yelled at one of the patrols to inform Sezhiyan


    that I would be back soon. And I ran past the territory ignoring his protest. He can''t leave his ce and


    follow me as the patrol need to be very cautious at the time of social events because it would be an


    easy catch for enemies.


    As soon as I realised I was at the safe distance, I stripped quickly and shifted and let her have control.


    She started letting out her rage on the trees on our way. It was so painful and she was blindly hitting


    herself on the branches and falling down without focusing on the way. The new moon day made me not


    to see the moon but something inside me was awake wide and it was in full rage increasing my wolf''s


    rage. I smelled the rain clouds and soon it was pouring heavily. She found a cave and went inside. My


    wolf let out a loud painful howl echoing through the cave and dropped down breaking into tears. I let


    her cry and I knew better to not say anything. She stood up suddenly and started running towards the


    pack.


    ''We can''t go there. Stop!''


    ''I don''t fucking care about our life goal. I can''t live without my mate. And I knew you too can''t live


    without him. But you won''t ept. I am going to im him as mine. He was destined to be with us."


    I gathered all my will power and took control of the wolf form and walked back into the woods. She was


    pounding inside to let out.


    ''If he really wants to be with us, he would have waited for us. He wouldn''t have chosen other she-wolf


    in our ce.''


    I said in a calm tone. She went silent after hearing that.


    ''He was twenty-six and he was waiting for us for so long. Even he went to all the pack in search of us.


    We need to get rid of that cursed moonstone and let our mate know who he belongs to. He might be


    forced into this. Please! I stood there for you all the time and supported all your decisions. I am living


    inside a cage within our own body. If he marries her, we can''t live. Then how do you think you could


    fulfil your revenge. Please let him in.''


    Her sobs broke my heart.


    ''Why are you not understanding the fact he doesn''t want us? If he does, he wouldn''t have agreed to


    marry some other female. And we are the reason for his brother''s death. We can''t expect him to ept


    us with open arms. Do you want to get rejected? I know you love him. But we can just leave this ce.


    I know we can''t see our mate with another she-wolf. But if we go to him, what if our revenge brings


    danger to him? I would rather let him live happily with someone than to get killed. Now tell what shall


    we do?''


    She went silent and shut me off. I knew she realised the seriousness of the problem. I shifted back to


    human and wore my dresses and walked in the rain back to my home. I can''t me him. If I showed


    him who I am, he might not have to get another wolf. Still, I can''t help the feel of betrayal spreading in


    my heart. Why didn''t he wait for us? Tears were pouring automatically. I changed my dress and went to


    bed. But sleep was far away.


    The next day I felt so weak without any sleep and deep pain in my heart. I messaged Logan that I am


    not feeling well and asked him to go to college. I lied the same to Sezhiyan and Mithun for skipping the


    morning training. I didn''t tell Sezhiyan why I went outside the border yesterday. Iid all day in the bed.


    Usually, us - wolves, would eat more but I don''t feel like eating anything. I have only felt the physical


    pain of rejection while healing others. But this emotional pain was too much than I ever imagined. And I


    knew I can''t behave like this for a long time. It might make people suspicious.


    I wrapped up myself and went to the kitchen made some ck coffee and had it without sugar. The hot


    bitterness was soothing for my situation. Otherwise, I won''t touch it without milk and sugar. I heard the


    door knocking and went to open the door. My eyes widened on seeing Surya there. What was he doing


    here? He wasn''t allowed in ournds.


    "What are you doing here?"


    My voice sound alien with all my crying. He touched my forehead with the back of his palm and


    frowned.


    "Umm... I asked Logan to take me to your home. Because I never have seen you falling sick. And I am


    worried about you."


    He whispered thest part but I heard it perfectly. I looked behind him and found Logan on the phone.


    He must have got permission from Alpha. He is soon to be Beta. He knew better.


    "Thanks, Surya. Come in."


    I weed him and pulled Logan cor to drag him inside. I asked them to sit on the sofa and seated


    myself there. The room was filled with an awkward silence. I looked at my half-drunk coffee cup.


    "Coffee?"


    I asked inmon and saw Surya nodding his head with a smile.


    I made two cups of coffee and brought some chips with me. Logan was now done with his phone and


    looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I set everything in the table and went to sit in my ce with my


    coffee. Logan was silently studying me. He knew werewolves don''t get sick often and this was the first


    time I am getting sick except for that rogue attack. Surya moved next to me and took my hands in him.


    Logan was giving me an amused look as he was aware of Surya''s failed date attempts.


    "Do you want me to take you to the hospital, Kavi?"


    I shook my head and slowly withdrew my hand from his hold. He looked genuinely concerned.


    "I''m really okay, Surya. Can''t you see?"


    He just smiled at me and stroked my hair. Suddenly I straightened and Logan too stood up from his


    seat as we smelled someone.


    A she-wolf barged into the home with her nose up in the air. She looked at our direction and whispered


    ''Mate''. A smile made its way to my face as I realised Logan''s mate found him.


    But she walked past him and stood before Surya. She studied his features and her eyes darkened. She


    must have realised he is a human in his confused state yet I could see Surya have felt attracted


    towards her. Mate bond! I sneakily took a few steps away to let her know I am not in their way.


    Getting a human mate is rare but not umon. And I am happy for them. Surya is a great man and


    from the look on the she-wolf''s face, she was already head over heel for her mate. Logan walked to


    their side and pped his fingers. They looked at him and the she-wolf bowed her head and her eyes


    zed.


    Wow! Surya will be turning into a werewolf soon. Human and weres physical qualities were so different.


    So if the destined mate is a human, the wolf can mark them with their permission to change them into a


    werewolf. That will leave us contented physically and emotionally and also the changed wolf will be


    able to understand the feeling of mate-bondpletely.


    "Hey Surya, this is Veena. Veena, this is Surya."


    Logan made the introduction. She repeated his name twice with a growing smile. She seems like she


    wants to mark and mate him at this instant as her love and lust was strongly rolling over her aura. He


    smiled at her action and admiration was heavy in his aura. Way to go!


    "I have some work. Do you mind if she drops you at your home?"


    Logan asked him and Surya just nodded his head without breaking eye contact with her.


    "Bye, Kavi. Take care of your health."


    With a smile, he left with her. I smiled sadly at the thought of why I can''t be like a normal mate to him.


    But the answers rushed to mind made me shook my head.


    "So what made you run awayst night from the gathering? And why you look so... devasted?"


    Logan asked me. I gave him a sad smile and looked away.


    "I want to sleep. So leave me alone. Pick me up, as usual, tomorrow morning."


    I shooed him dodging his question. He didn''t say anything but studied my face.


    "You can tell me anything, Kavi. Why are you like this? It''s worrying me."


    He asked softly. I just wanted to tell him everything and cry on his shoulder but he is a loyal wolf and I


    can''t risk my secrets.


    "I don''t want to talk about it. Please leave it, Logan"


    My eyes welled up at the memories of yesterday. He shocked to see my tears and pulled me to a hug. I


    wept on his shoulder silently. It''s really good to have a shoulder to cry. He held me all the time


    whispering ''Everything is gonna be alright'' and it eased me a little. After some time, he wrapped me up


    in a nket in bed while I leaned on the headboard and he sat near the corner of the bed.


    "So, what happened yesterday after I left?"


    I asked him even though I know it would break my heart. I just want to know! I need to know how my


    mate has been dealing with marrying another she-wolf who wasn''t his mate.


    "Nothing interesting. Everyone knew Akhn bro is back. So that''s it"


    I frowned on hearing that.


    "Aryan uncle told that he was expecting some announcement and he looked pretty excited?"


    I asked him with my new curiosity.


    "Oh, did he mentioned anything about arranging mate for Akhn bro?"


    My heart constricted on hearing that but I kept my fake confused look and shook my head ''no''. My wolf


    lowered her walls down to listen about our mate.


    "Hey, there was thetest gossip aboutst night. How did you miss that part? Akhn bro''s mother


    wants to set him up with her tail, that Pooja. Akhn and Pooja were friends forever and Pooja seems


    to have feelings for him. But he doesn''t have any feeling except friendship for her. He has been


    escaping his mother for the past three years. But she was so adamant to fix the marriage for them. He


    had finally agreed beforeing here. But yesterday, suddenly he told her that he needs some more


    time. His mom would have created a tornado if he hasn''t agreed for going on for a few dates with


    Pooja. Some people were happy for them getting together but some people were thinking they should


    wait for their mates."


    He told me the story in a hushed tone. My wolf grinned and I could hear her thinking that ''See bitch! He


    is waiting for us''. But I underlined his statement ''He finally agreed beforeing here''. She snorted but


    her mood became chirpy. I won''t lie that I was washed over a great wave of relief too.


    "So they are dating for some time before their marriage!"


    I stated in his same hushed tone.


    He nodded his head. I nodded and let out a yawn and it made me realise how exhausted I was? He


    stood up and ordered me to take rest and said that he will be downstairs and I knew he was going to


    stay to look after me.


    The next morning I woke up to the amazing smell of coffee and oranges. Within seconds the door to


    my room opened, and my dear cousin entered and handed me a cup of hot coffee with a big grin.


    "Good morning, sleepy head. You are sleeping straight for thirteen hours. Get ready. Let''s go to


    Training ground before one of the hulkse here."


    Iughed at him for calling Sezhiyan, Aryan uncle and Mithun as hulks.


    "Good morning and thank you very much.. for being there for me."


    He just raised an eyebrow for being so formal even after all these days.


    "Did my mom wake up in the night? I didn''t remember waking up in the middle of the night!"


    I asked in confusion.


    "No. One of the warrior''s mate gave birth to a baby boyst night and your mother was there all night."


    I nodded in understanding and hopped off the bed to get ready for the training.


    I have a long way to go!
