Chapter 40 Chapter 37


    Kavi''s POV


    I took in a deep breath and entered the Throne Hall. Every people here were taller than the usual


    humans and werewolves and they have been standing in well-coordinated rows. The hall was very


    huge and almost a thousand people would be there. The people were standing on the two sides


    leaving a way in the middle of the hall for us to walk to the throne; the same throne I saw in my vision.


    Akhn and Maayan were behind me along with Aadhira. Irrespective of the huge crowd, there was


    people love me in that colour. She was furious to see my bruised mark and it took me a good half an


    hour to exin nothing was Akhn''s fault and for stopping her from jumping on Akhn. The way


    everyone did service to me while getting ready-made me astounded. I am totally against very but


    they call it as devotion and did things willingly.


    Akhn was confused as well to this meeting arrangement but Maayan said that this should be done


    immediately. The ce had changed the instance I ced my foot on the surface of this realm. So the


    truth should be let out to avoid confusion among the people living here.


    Maayan asked me to be confident and I was trying to be. My wolf helped me by radiating our authority.


    Row by row they fell on their knees while I walked past them. I hide my slip at the beginning as I was


    startled when suddenly they knelt but managed it and walked with my chin up. Also, I could feel the


    vibration of this ce affecting me. I feel more powerful upon entering this Throne hall. I walked up to


    the stairs to the throne and turned around to face the people still on their kneeling position and Akhn


    and Maayan were standing at thest stairs. Akhn was looking at me and the crowd to and fro. I


    found Aadhira on her knees opposite side of my mate and Maayan. I ran my eyes over the people


    bowing before me and gulped. I looked at Maayan who gave me an encouraging smile.


    "You may stand! I know you are thinking that I am your Goddess. It may be true. But I don''t remember


    anything from my past. I am so confused right now... lots of questions were bombarding my mind and I


    need to find answers for them. I don''t know why this was all happening to me. I may look simr to


    La whom you all worshipped but I am not La. I don''t possess any divine powers. I am


    Kavithanjali, a werewolf now with some special powers. I don''t even know whether I will get my powers


    back or not. Maayan wasn''t sure that he could give my powers back to me. We have nned to go


    where it all happened tomorrow. And if things went right, I mighte back with memories of La


    along with the powers. I don''t know what will happen if things have gone wrong. But I will do my best to


    meet the trust you all have on me."


    The words came out in flow as I confessed to the people who blindly believe in me. I don''t have any


    idea what was going to happen tomorrow. They all bowed their head. I looked at them in surprise. I am


    zero now yet they respect me and ept me as I am.


    "They don''t mind whether you have power or not, Cupcake. You will learn their love and devotion for


    you when you get your memories back. Now sit on your throne. It has been empty for a while."


    Maayan suggested. I nodded my head negatively.


    "I didn''t do anything yet to deserve this throne. I can''t ept myself to sit here yet. I don''t want to argue


    over this. Please understand me."


    I said in a whisper. But everyone seems to have listened to my words.


    I saw him nodding his head with a frown. I looked at the crowd. I could see happiness in their eyes but


    their face was nk of any emotions. I nodded at them and walked down the stairs. I noticed Maayan


    signalling something to Aadhira and she nodded her head for him. I frowned with jealousy because


    they seem closer. I walked to Akhn and intertwined my fingers with him ignoring Maayan''s narrowed


    eyes and made my way out. Akhn''s aura was radiating happiness and pride. Maayan and Aadhira


    wereing behind us and they were talking in a very low voice that I couldn''t figure out even with my


    advanced hearing.


    "Cupcake! This way. We need to discuss the n for tomorrow."


    He signalled me a room and I realised he must have been speaking about it with Aadhira as she was


    in-charge of this realm. We walked inside a ssical office structure.


    ''Why are you so silent baby? I am worried.''


    I mind linked Akhn.


    ''Just thinking about everything.''


    He replied and smiled at me reassuringly but that smile didn''t reach his eyes.


    We sat on the sofa ced on the right side of the room. And Aadhira went near the wall and ced her


    hand there and muttered something under her breath. A small rectangle shape of hole appeared on the


    wall and a scroll came out like the cashing out of ATM. I looked amused as this ce was covered


    with magic that was equal to modern-day technology. She came near us and handed it to Maayan. The


    scroll was in the samenguage as the inscription on the door where Maayan was trapped. He


    straightened the thick sheets and paused at certain lines to read.


    "That was so far away from here. The name of the ce is called as Qywesir. It was the smallest and


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    farthest in this sr system which humans have no clue about. That was the coldest,


    being far away from the Sun, which made it uninhabitable. That was the ce I was trapped. And that''s


    where we need to go. Before I was sealed inside a cave, I heard a voice telling me that I need to go


    there with you to give your power back. But I don''t know any other details. That voice gave me the faith


    that you wille back again to me. And the long wait ended yesterday. When you said those words, I


    felt myself pushed into this realm through some portal and you too teleported here the same way. This


    scroll doesn''t have anything other than the basic description of that."


    He closed the scroll and tied it with the thread and looked at me.


    "So we are going to face something and we don''t know the severity of risk!"


    I concluded for him with a sigh.


    "You and I are going there tomorrow. I will make arrangements for the portal kept open for our warriors


    if they are needed, Aadhira..."


    Maayan started telling the n but Akhn interrupted him.


    "What do you mean by you and Anjali? I can''t stay here while she was in danger. I aming with


    you."


    Akhn expressed his decision.


    "No, Akhn. You should stay back..."


    Maayan started but again interrupted by Akhn.


    "Who do you think you are to dictate orders to me? How do you think I will let my mate''s life at risk?"


    He shouted at Maayan.


    "Will you just listen to me? You should be here. Anything may happen there. If I happen to die in the


    process of saving her, you cane there to rescue her. We can''t go and take the bait... I don''t want


    both of us to be trapped leaving her unprotected. Do you understand what I am trying to say?"


    Akhn looked wide-eyed at him and my heart was paining at the words he spat out. We didn''t even


    spend a daypletely but he was already speaking about his death.


    "No one is going to die. Aadhira will be here. We three are going to Qywesir. And we are going to


    protect each other at all cost and help each other if any dangeres in our way. You are a freaking


    powerful Wiz and we are werewolves. So we can face anything. I don''t want to lose anyone. So


    please...!"


    I bit my lower lip to stop the weep trying to break out of me. Both of them rushed to my sides and


    rubbed my shoulder tofort me. I sat there silently for some time. I have faced many hurdles in my


    life and I am prepared to face anything. And I am clear about one thing! I am not going to let anything


    happen to these two men who love me with all their heart.


    "I need some time. Shall I go for a walk outside the castle?"


    I asked Aadhira and she looked shocked at my question. Uh-oh! Was there any restriction to go out?


    "Goddess, You can go anywhere you want. This realm is yours. You don''t need to ask permission."


    I facepalmed mentally at her politeness and nodded my head at her. I stood up and looked at the two


    who were now ring at each other.


    "Anybody care to join?"


    I asked them inmon breaking the silence. Akhn stood up but Maayan looked at Aadhira.


    "You guys carry on. I have a little work here."


    Maayan took the scroll again and pretend to read it again. I looked at him for a few seconds and left


    with Akhn with a sigh. I had a feeling that Maayan was hiding something from me. I think I can ask


    Aadhira about that.


    The guards on our way bowed while we made our way out of the castle. When we reached near the


    door after passing a huge training ground, A guard knelt before me and asked where I wanted to go


    and he will take me to the ce I ask in any vehicle I want. I convinced him that I just wanted to get


    some fresh air. But he was persistent to not let me walk. I had to raise my tone to stop him froming


    along with us in the name of guarding us. It was funny but feel too much at the same time.


    The fresh air from the trees was really easing my feeling. We walked for some distance and I found that


    we are near the ck lotus pond. I pulled Akhn along with me to that direction ignoring his groan. I


    admired the beauty of the darkest lotus I ever have seen and noticed there are some fishes in the


    pond. I pleaded to Akhn to sit on the stairs and I raised my gown till my knees to let my leg dip in the


    pond. The feeling of fishes touching my skin was so good to enjoy in the midst of all these things


    happening around me. Akhn joined me and was also now rxed with the feel of fishes tickling his


    feet.


    "I love you, Anjali."


    Akhn said out of nowhere and circled his hand around my shoulder.


    "I love you too, Teddy."


    I said in an enthusiastic voice and with a big smile. The endearment brought a smile on his face. He


    bent and pecked my nose. I leaned on his shoulder with a sigh and he rested his cheek over my head. I


    love the feel of being in his arm but a part of me was still thinking about the stupid wizard who hadn''t


    We stayed there for a few minutes and I heard a loud cry from the left side of the castle. I stood up and


    nodded at Akhn. We went behind a tree and tied our dresses to our leg and shifted to our wolf form.


    We ran in the direction of the cry and found a huge fire pit and Mountain that leaking volcano. But


    strangely I wasn''t feeling the hotness of the volcano which I should have felt. I get just a warm feel. We


    shifted behind a rock and came out and looked for the source of the cry.


    "Anjali! There..."


    Akhn pointed out two guards standing there where the ce has stairs downwards the underground.


    We went near them and they bowed at me.


    "What ce is this? I heard some crying noise from this direction. Can you check whether someone


    was hurt?"


    They looked at each other and smiled warmly at me.


    "This is where one of your main duties has been done, Goddess. Souls are getting purified inside.


    Usually, the noises won''t get out of here. The warriors just hunted a soul that tried to escape from here.


    You might have heard that, Goddess. You don''t have to worry. We are doing our duties with the utmost


    care."


    He exined to me but on seeing my confused expression he continued.


    "In humannguage, this ce was called Hell. I think now you might have understood the reason for


    the cry sound."


    A guard said in a polite tone. But I was looking at him with wide eyes and beyond shocked.


    "Does it mean...?"


    I gulped hard and paused not wanting to finish what I started. I heard a growl from my mate but


    lowered my head afraid to see his reaction. He pulled me closer to him. And I could smell his...


    arousal? I looked up at his darkened eyes in surprise.


    Wasn''t he feel disgusted to know that I had tortured the souls in my previous birth? Was my soul dark


    as they call?


    ''I can''t wait to tie up the Devil in my bed and make her beg me to fulfil her needs and cry for more!''


    Akhn''s voice rang in my head. I blushed instantly as my mind gave a picture to the words he said. It


    was a tempting idea... Damn! This rascal! My wolf was purring and trying to get on the surface. I


    controlled her as we are not alone.


    I gave a nod to the guards and dragged Akhn back to the castle. He was just smirking at my blushing


    face. But my mind started reminding about the doubts in my head.


    "Akhn, I want your honest reply to this question. Don''t you have any problem with my past? I wasn''t a


    good one in my past. I was the head of hell to torture souls and I don''t know what else I have done.


    What do you think about me now?"


    I asked him because we never happened to talk about it. And I wanted to know what''s in his mind.


    "Anjali! Your past won''t define you. And we can''t question the creation of nature. We too hunt the


    animals to feed our stomach. It''smon and the way nature had created us. I don''t know how God


    and Goddess havee to existence. But I know you just did your duties. And I don''t have any


    problem if you again do thingsbelled as bad, after gaining your power back. Be bad but be mine.


    About your past, I have no problem except that fucking wizard who was trying to steal you from me. I


    understand he was your beloved and waited for you for several millennia but you are mine. I can''t deny


    the fact he cares about you more than his life. But it pains to know that your love is notpletely for


    me."


    He spoke in a convincing tone but his voice filled with hatred and jealousy when he mentioned about


    Maayan. I could feel his unconditional love for me. It was overwhelming me. I hugged him tightly and


    buried my face in his chest. He held me closer to him with a contented sigh. I can feel how much he


    was hurt and insecure and I am happy that he could open up them to me. I need to find a way to solve


    this problem before it gets beyond my control.


    We roamed around the purple trees speaking sweet nothings. Our stomach started growling after some


    time. We don''t find any source of animals in the small forest around the castle. So we decided to go to


    the castle back to get something to eat. When we came in, we are met withplete silence as if


    nothing was functioning inside. I inquired the same to a guard but he wasn''t giving any useful answer. I


    could feel the strangeness in the air even though I just came here yesterday.


    The ce near the dining room didn''t have any kind of noise usually I hear when I cross this ce. I


    asked my wolf toe to the surface and pulled the knob of the door. I was startled first when the red


    heart balloons hit my face and the room emptied eventually after the balloons floated away through the


    door. I was smiling big on seeing so many balloons. Akhn was next to me and reflecting my smile


    with adoration in his eyes.


    I walked in and find Aadhira and some senior warriors there. Purple roses started showering on me and


    I looked up to find it was Maayan''s magic. He appeared in the air gracefully and knelt before me. He


    was wearing a dark purple robe with a loose white pant. With a snap of his finger, a bouquet of purple


    and ck flowers appeared in his hand and he gave me with a smirk. I got the flowers from him and


    looked at him questioningly why he was doing these all of sudden. Uh... Weing party?


    He pulled a white stick from his dress and I realised it was his wand. He rotated it with a chant and the


    ce darkened. I used my wolf vision and found him moving his wand in darkness. The sound of buzz


    followed by fireflies starteding into the room out of nowhere and it started assembling into words. I


    gasped when the formationpleted and the result was totally unexpected– Happy birthday,


    Cupcake!
