Chapter 32 Chapter 29


    Kavi''s POV


    Now that I remember the dream, I knew that mysterious man licked me over my mark and I woke up


    after a few minutes and heard my mom saying I stopped bleeding. It only means he helped me from


    dying out of bleeding. But also he said that I was his!


    What does that mean?


    How can he say that when I have a mate already?

    But I except tingles, I felt the same with him like my mate.


    Who is he?


    What if the council members think I am crazy or they might conclude that it was my hallucination! But I


    dreamt of that ce exactly on my every birthday.


    I realised everyone was looking at me expectantly.


    "Actually, I do have one strange dream! On my every birthday, I would dream of apletely dark


    ce with eighteen stairs..."


    "How do you know it was exactly eighteen stairs when it was dark?"


    Rio questioned me doubtfully. Yamuna (a vampire) scolded him to let meplete.


    "I could only see myself where would be a ray of light from somewhere. I knew it was eighteen because


    on every passing birthday I noticed I was climbing a step up andst year I stood at thest step. The


    dream will happen like I was looking at the image myself. A dark air would surround me but the Kavi in


    the dream will smile at the man. I found it was a manst year from his masculine aura. And he would


    say that he was waiting for me."


    I paused and looked at Manohar.


    "Yeah! The same words that man told before stabbing himself. I didn''t mean to hide it at that time. I just


    thought it was irrelevant and you too told he was insane. So I concluded it was a mere coincidence. I


    dreamt of him after Akhn marked me. It just came up to my mind now. That man was holding me in


    his arms. He told that I shouldn''t have let Akhn mark me. Because I was his."


    My mate pulled me closer and circled his arm around me protectively and growled ''Mine''. The tingles


    sent a warm feeling all over me. I smiled and said ''yes'' to him and pecked his cheek. I looked at the


    council heads and with a clearing of my throat, I continued.


    "He then asked me toe to him. He actually licked my mark and vanished into air. This is the first


    time I remember him speaking to me other than asking me toe to him. I panicked as I realised that


    the ce was the same as I dream of, on my birthdays. He whispered me to sleep and I woke up in


    real. I saw Sezhiyan and my mom there and my mom said that my mark stopped bleeding. Now that I


    could remember everything, is there any possibility his lick made my bleeding stop? And who he is?


    Why I was dreaming about him? I have a familiar feel about him but I couldn''t ce who he was. He


    always had his face covered."


    I was getting more tensed when I summed up everything. Akhn might have felt it through bond and


    pulled me closer to him.


    I looked up at them and I noticed Poorna and Manohar''s eyes were zed. Are they mind linking each


    other or to someone else? Did they know anything of these things happening?


    "Why you have to bring such a headache for us? Are you hiding anything else? Remember and tell


    what are the unusual things you have been through. Or can you identify where that ce you dreamt


    was?"


    Rio spoke in an annoyed tone. That bloodsucker! I took a few breaths to calm myself.


    "I told you everything. That''s all I could recall from those dreams."


    I said without hiding my annoyance. They looked at each other and sighed.


    "We can''t decide anything now. We can''t risk her life by re-marking. Wait for some time guys. Usually,


    the bruised mark would heal with the time as the mate would ept him. Your heat may approach


    soon. If nothing was unusual, mating would heal the mark. But we can''t risk anything. Take it slow. We


    will do some research in the meantime. Dreams are not as simple as you think. Leave it to us. But you


    shoulde here anytime we want you here. And try to ask your family members whether they have


    noticed anything unusual when you are young."


    Zarina told me in a calm manner.


    "Let me see whether we could heal your mark."


    Vasigaran and Zarina stepped forward and used their wand on me. I felt a slight poke at my mark but


    nothing happened. They frowned and looked at the rest of them. They tried again and I didn''t feel


    anything.


    "Can you feel anything?"


    Akhnan asked me with a concerned look.


    "First time, I felt a poke but nothing for the second time."


    They nodded and shared a look.


    "That''s fine. Don''t worry about anything. We are here to help you. Take some rest and if you want, you


    can go out. Dinner would start at seven. Don''t get carried away with too much fun!"


    Manohar said with a big grin and dismissed the meeting. Everyone smiled and we left with a formal


    bow.


    "You never said these things to me!"


    My mate asked me in a calm tone.


    "Because I didn''t give importance to it until now. My grandpa told those were some of my imagination.


    So I never mentioned it again to anyone after that. But I never expected my dreams would haunt my life


    like this."


    I sighed and looked at him. He nodded and ced a kiss on my forehead.


    "Let''s go out somewhere. Let not these problems spoil our mood."


    I smiled and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged his shoulder and pulled me closer to


    him.


    We went to meet my mom and Shrini. They were sad but holding themselves together. I don''t know


    what to say. My mate wasn''t like me because he was speaking with them to be strong. Shrini had the


    determined look after Akhn spoke about Iniyan. That kid deserves a good life. I will support him and


    will make him strong. We remained there for some time and retired to our room. I changed into casuals


    and we went out roaming around the ce. The dinner went very well except the fact Rio constantly


    reminded me that he didn''t like me. But others were sweet as always. Akhn too lightened up my


    mood whenever Rio spoiled it.


    My mom, Shrini and Iniyan joined us on the return journey. They all slept in the back seat. We let a light


    music y in low volume and I leaned on my mate''s shoulder and spoke random things all the way


    back. It was sweet and warm. I love to be close to him. We reached the pack around three past


    midnight. Akhn joined me in bed and helped me to get a peaceful sleep.


    The next day after the training, I re-opened the file of the rogue attack Vijay mentioned me. There were


    no details about the rogues. It seems I have to work on it on my own. Anyway, I would be going to the


    rogue tournament in two days. I may get some help there. I was fighting without my mask for the past


    few weeks. The rogues now knew who I was. And a few had spoken to me. First I need to find


    Ashwin''s location. I texted Vijayan.


    "Vijay, Can you tell me your son''s phone number?"


    "His number is xxxxxxxxx, Alpha. But he didn''t pick any of the calls after leaving here. I don''t even


    know whether he is still using it but it will ring every time I call."


    "Okay. I will see that."


    I replied to him and mind linked my third inmand.


    "Nakul, I want to meet the trackers in our pack. Can you ask them to meet me?"


    "Yes, Alpha. They are on their way to your office."


    "Okay, Nakul."


    I sat straight on my chair. Ipletely removed all the things from the old Alpha''s office and renovated


    it to my liking. Also being this pack having almost zero connection with humans, they are slowly


    adopting the technological developments. I hacked his mobile within a few minutes and found the


    location. I took a copy of the texts and call history. But I need to confirm it first whether he was using it


    currently. I heard a knock on the door and two people walked in. They are father and son and they


    have this tracking ability in their genes. I knew everyone name in my pack but I was learning about


    them.


    "Good morning, Alpha! Third-inmand told us that you wanted to see us."


    Hari, the old one greeted me. I signalled them to sit.


    "Yes. I want you and Paari to help me with an assignment. I want this to be confidential and I want you


    to report to me directly. You shouldn''t speak about this to anyone, especially to my Beta. If I was


    unavable, I want you to reach, Nakul."


    I spoke in a stern voice. They looked confused but nodded their head.


    "This is about his son. And I wanted it to be my first gift to him also to my future Beta. Paari, I have


    located the ce where Ashwin''s phone was. I want you first verify whether it was him and then follow


    him for the next few days. Gather as much information you could. His mobile was currently in a human


    city which was forty miles from here. I knew you guys had minimal contact with humans. But make sure


    you mingle with them and follow him without making any suspicions. I want you to snap the picture of


    everyone he meets and update his every move instantly to me. I will arrange for a spy camera for those


    pictures.


    And Hari, I need your experience and senses to find the one who Ashwin has been searching. I hope


    you know I fight in rogue tournaments. So we are going to meet a few rogues and gather information


    on the leader who killed our Ashwin''s mate. Currently, we don''t have any idea about who we are


    searching for. But Ashwin would have collected some details. When you find his residence, I want to


    personally examine his room. Are we clear?"


    They both listened very carefully and I knew I could trust them.


    "Yes, Alpha. We understand everything. We will do it."


    Paari said with enthusiasm.


    I shared the location details and spoke with Paari about some tips to mingle with humans. Also, I made


    some backup arrangements and asked them to proceed. Akhn went back to Green Ocean pack


    because Rakshana wants to speak to him earlier this morning. I got ready to college and I had to check


    the ount statements of the previous month after returning back.


    ~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~|~


    Hari and I were going to the rogue tournament. It was the same number Ashwin was using. But he only


    picks the calls from random persons. For the past two days, he received only one call telling that there


    was no change in n. Paari found the location and it was an old apartment room which was fully


    packed by low ie earning people. Ashwin didn''t leave his den all the time and the room has the


    smell of alcohol. He was searching for his prey. But also he was in deep pain that he was drowning


    himself in alcohol. Many wolves would go insane at the lose of mate but he managed to keep his


    senses but spoiling it in another way.


    We reached the ce and the guy named Rocket, at the entrance was trying to pull me into betting for


    the past three matches after I revealed my identity. I bought our passes and paused there.


    "Can I have a minute with you? I need a favour from you."


    I asked him. He raised his eyebrow and signalled money with his hand. I ced a bundle of 10k before


    him. He smiled sideways and led us into a tent. There was a safe at the corner and a portable table


    with aptop on it. He went and sat on the chair behind the table and asked us to sit in front of him.


    "You know who I am, Rocket Tell us about what you know about the rogue attack happened in Blood


    Warriors pack in April,st year."


    I directly pointed out my need.


    "April... Blood warriors... I couldn''t remember anything. What''s special with that? Did they steal


    anything valuable?"


    He asked with curiosity. I knew he wants to get more money ording to the thing we say.


    "No, I was just getting aware of my previous enemies who attacked the pack before I took charge. They


    used daggersced in wolfbane. Can you remember any gang like that?"


    I asked him with the hope he would be knowing something about them. I have chosen this guy because


    I saw many of the rogues talking to him as he was the one who organizes the betting in the tournament


    which is one of the main sources for gang activities.


    "Are you talking about dark vipers? They use such techniques. Yeah. I remember them attacking a


    packst year. Usually, they won''t get into a pack. They do smuggling and killing for humans. But if you


    want more details, you should pay for the service."


    He grinned showing his golden tooth. I kept two more 10k bundles but he nodded his head. I added


    three more. He grinned and took them.


    "They are so dangerous. I didn''t see any of them recently. They work in the pack model. The top three


    would rarely show faces but the goons will finish everything perfectly. No one knows the leader of that


    team. The top three would handle things internally and deal with human crocodiles who want the crime


    to be done. The main head after them was the one who manages the rogues. But I heard he was killed


    recently. And they change their ce often within the state.


    I know a member of that gang who would visit the rogue tournament near the beach. He is a fit, tall and


    dark man. He would have a scar on his left cheek with a bald head. He loves to fight and visit there


    every week. Once he came here as that fight was cancelled due to rain there. You may have the


    chance to meet him if you go there now. That''s all I can tell. And don''t mention my name anywhere.


    Because you may need me again."


    I nodded and stood up and looked at Hari.


    We know where we should go. But the details were vague. He told the top three would rarely appear at


    crime scenes. First I need to identify who did that. I called Sezhiyan to pass his territory as it was the


    easy way to reach the beach. The beach tournament held in between the Green Ocean pack and


    Crimson Moon Pack. I asked him to keep a low profile about my visit as I don''t have time to visit my


    friends or even my mate. Maybe I could go and surprise my mate if things go smooth.


    We shifted into a wolf and carried our things in our mouth and started running towards our destination. I


    know the ce and I took Hari in short cut. It took an hour for us to reach there which would have


    consumed good four hours on wheel. We changed into our outfit and I checked my mobile as I felt my


    mobile getting vibrated from continuous notifications. Paari had texted me that Ashwin was going


    somewhere and at thetest message told that he was going in the route of beach rogue tournament


    and he suggested this would be the right time to examine his den. But I can''t go there now. I want to


    know whether he was here for the same man as we or just to fight. Also, I want to know what he finds


    out from this rogue.


    I asked Hari to stay behind and wait for mymand. Ashwin would identify Hari easily. I bought my


    pass and mingled with the gang. I searched for Ashwin first and found him eyeing someone with so


    much rage in his eyes. I pinpointed who he was ring and it exactly matched with the one tall person


    who rocket had mentioned. He had a tattoo of a blue snake circling a ck rose on his neck.


    When one of the wolves defeated inside the circle, that tall man entered the circle. His moves were


    sharp and calcted. I noticed him as well as Ashwin. He made two wolves submit in a row. Then


    Ashwin entered the circle. I could feel his rage from here. I watched them fighting neck to neck. But my


    Beta was gaining upper hand. They shifted to their wolf and Ashwin''s dark grey wolf stood proudly and


    the fight went for forty more minutes. Ashwin did most of the damages and bit all of his limbs and made


    that rogue submit to him. He exited the circle and came back in his human. I followed him with a good


    distance. Paari was hiding in woods as per my instruction.


    I saw Ashwin following the man who was partially healing now but limping his way to the parking area.


    As the tournament was still going on, there was no one on his path. Ashwin looked around and when


    he noticed no one was around, he used his wolf speed and pulled that rogue into the woods. I quickly


    followed him and I had already used masking spray before entering here. So I went to him without


    making any noises. With my wolf sight, I saw Ashwin hitting that man across his face. When he felt the


    rogue had enough he started asking who apanied him on that attack.


    So this rogue was a part of the attack and he must have noticed him from the way he was questioning.


    That man didn''t budge and spat at him. I could feel Ashwin''s raising rage but he calmed himself and


    questioned him again with a few more punches.


    The tournament cheering voice was muffling this rogue''s cries. This went on for the next twenty


    minutes and I felt Ashwin was losing patience and at one point he snapped the rogue''s head. And


    kicked him a few times then shifted into his wolf and ran into the woods.
