A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 24

Kavi's POV

"You knew we are mates. Aren't you?"

He asked me with a defeated look.

I nodded my head and looked away. I expected harsh words or even a slap. But he pulled me to a tight

hug. I felt like exploding. My wolf purring out at the sensation. He held me tightly like holding onto his

favourite dream to not let it go away. It was overwhelming to suddenly feel very safe and contentment

in my heart. Even though he wasn't a complete stranger, I didn't know much about him. I even know

more about my Teddy than my mate. When he pulled away I saw his eyes were completely golden.

"I should have known! Oh Moon!"

He whispered to himself.

"What does this means?"

I heard an angry voice of Rakshana. I never felt so helpless. Like God, Sezhiyan came to my help.

"Rakshana, I think we should deal with this in private. We don't want to make a scene, right?"

Sezhiyan tried to calm her. But she was fuming in rage.

"What is there to deal with her in private, Alpha? Can't you see what she had done? She already killed

one of my children. Now she is breaking the heart of my other son. She intentionally hides that from my

son. If we have known she was his mate, then we wouldn't have arranged to marry Pooja to him. And

she did all this to ruin my family. She even had the audacity to reject him when he proposed his love to

her. She is a disgrace to the werewolves race because she disrespected the Moon God's blessing. I

will never accept her to my family. That's final."

She shouted and walked furiously out of the place. Mithun gave me a sad and disappointed look and

went to calm his mate.

Tears poured from my eyes when she mentioned about Teddy. I could never be able to make her

forgive me for what I did to Teddy. I was the reason he wasn't here with us. Akhilan helped me up and

held me by the shoulder. I removed his hand and stood away with a good distance. I still didn't decide

to accept him, also the tingles were making my wolf react to the bond so much. His wolf is still in

surface and he growled out his protest when I moved.

"Let's not end this beautiful evening in this way. I will take care of this. You guys carry on."

Sezhiyan told the pack and eyed us to come in.

I processed the words Rakshana told. She was absolutely correct. I can't deny that. But I have my

reasons to hide it. I mind linked Logan and Surya to not waste their mate's welcoming ceremony. But

from the look they gave to me, I knew they weren't happy either. I hate getting caught like this and

Sezhiyan taking me to his room to inquire me after every time I caught hiding something. But I knew

Sezhiyan is trying to help me this time.

I felt a few nudges at my mind and I did a big mistake of opening it. My mind was filled with cursings

from my dearest friends. Dhaya, Logan, Mukilan and Surya were scolding me for hiding this and they

were group-linking to not talk to me. Yet they convinced that it was too much and will give me advice

later.

I felt my mobile vibrating in my clutch and found my mom was calling. I know better to not attend the

call and simply texted that I was in meeting with Alpha. That helped me as she just texted in all caps

that she wanna talk to me immediately after the meeting gets over. I sent a thumbs up emoji and kept

the mobile back in. I felt a hand circling my waist and delicious tingles erupted from the touch. He

inhaled my scent and growled 'Mine'.

Even though it was so good, I rolled my eyes and tied to pry his hand off me. But he growled and

tightened the grip. My wolf was sighing in content for being close to our mate. I knew his touch would

help me calm down but I was surprised that it had happened within seconds and my body was leaning

to his hold on its own.

Sezhiyan stopped when we entered the packhouse and looked at Akhilan's hand on my waist and

looked at my eyes with a playful smile.

"Akhilan! Tell me what you are going to do? I am not going to go into the topic of why she did that. She

might tell you later. All I wanted to know is are you going to accept her or not? Because your mother

clearly stated that she will not accept Kavi in her family. So what is your decision, Akhilan?"

Sezhiyan asked him sternly and I could outline a fatherly concern mixed with his sternness.

"Alpha, You knew I have been waiting for her for a very long time. I am happy and feel lucky for getting

the person I love so much as my mate."

He said with so much love and adoration which made my heart skip a beat at his sincere tone. I would

have believed him if only I didn't find him in his ex-fiancee's room earlier today.

"I knew my mother was shocked at this revelation. But she will accept her eventually. It's Moon God's

wish. She can't deny the blessing. I will convince her, Alpha. I don't even want to know why Kavi hide

this fact from me but I will do everything I could to win my mate's heart, Alpha."

He continued with determination. Sezhiyan had an impressed looked and patted Akhilan's shoulder

with a nod. I looked at Luna who came along with us.

'You shouldn't have done that. But I could understand why you have done it. Don't spoil your life by

letting your past haunt you, Kavi'

Luna mind linked me and followed her mate to the backyard. We both were left alone in awkward

silence in the kitchen. I looked at his golden eyes and stunned not knowing how to react with his wolf.

"You look so beautiful, my mate. At least you decided to end this waiting game now. I won't lie that I am

not angry with you. You are mine. My mate! My other half which I should protect and love. But you have

hidden it all these days. How can I compensate for those days, beautiful? I would have enjoyed all

these days with you instead of faking with some she-wolf. Remember I will always be supportive and

stand by you no matter what. You can trust me."

He bent down and kissed my cheeks. I pressed my toes on the floor as his mere kiss was doing so

much thing inside me.

"Let me see your wolf."

He demanded.

I nodded spellbound and gave complete control to her who have been waiting so eagerly. My eyes

turned silver and I sat back in my mind and watched them. She instantly locked her hands around his

neck and pressed our body on him. A purr has erupted on his chest which vibrated throughout my

body. My body was already reacting to him.

"How did you resist without coming to me?"

He gripped my hip tightly and came closer to my face. She was intentionally blushing to increase his

desire. His eyes were already darkening.

"Stop blushing, beautiful or else..."

He buried his face on my neck and inhaled deeply. His breaths were tickling me. She squirmed in his

hands. He pulled away soon and scratched his head. His eyes were normal now.

"Sorry, Kavi. He got carried away."

He tried to put some distance but my temptress wolf pulled his shirt collar and pressed her lips at the

corner of his lips and extended her tongue and traced there. A growl erupted from him and she pulled

away instantly with a smirk and winked at him seductively. Oh Moon! Kill me! I immediately pushed her

back and regained my control.

"Umm... Same thing. My wolf!"

He smiled and nodded his head in understanding but his eyes were still dark with desire.

I never thought he would take this so easily. I love this feeling of sparks erupting across my body. Now I

understand why mates were glued to each other. Thank you for this great blessing, Moon. But

unfortunately, I was not in the state of enjoying all these perks.

"I need some time to think about our relationship."

I said bluntly. He nodded with a sigh and put some distance between us which instantly made me miss

those sparks.

Mithun knew my story but I don't know whether he had told it to his son. I wanted to apologize for what

happened to his brother because of me. But I don't know how to start my relationship with Teddy. Even

though I left the pack at the age of five, Teddy was always there in my memory and he was my

imaginary & only friend for the next few years I left the pack. After knowing what happened to my mom,

I was focused on revenge and started thinking less about him. But he never left my memory. I nodded

at Akhilan and started making my way to my home. My wolf wants our mate already. I hope he will not

break my heart. I don't want to experience another heartbreak.

I woke up before my alarm as my wolf was pounding inside my head in the excitement of meeting our

mate during the training. I would have blocked her and slept if not I was partially excited as her. I

freshened up and wore my usual sports bra and shorts. I walked to the pack house.

I found my shirtless mate waiting at the backyard. My face hardened and my mind was in so much rage

on seeing the bite mark on his shoulder. It was magical that the battle scars would heal soon but not

something we get in happiness. It was like Moon God knew how rough werewolves would be in bed

and he wants to display them proudly to others. I want to go away from his direction but the bond was

letting out exactly opposite reactions. His tattooed arms were so full and I want to trace all those tattoos

with my fingers. And I want to touch his chiselled torso and chest.

"Hey wolfie, good morning!"

He hugged me. My body instantly relaxed at his touch but I reminded myself by flashing the yesterday

incident before my eyes and my body stiffened in his embrace. He pulled away with a sigh and his aura

was showing desperation.

My eyes went to the bite mark which still has an outline of her teeth. That bitch dared to sink her teeth

on what's mine. If I get another chance to fight her, I will slash her throat without any remorse. I kept a

casual face and ran my finger over the bite mark with a frown. I sensed his heart skipping a beat and

his aura was filled with fear and guilt.

"A bite mark?"

I asked him with a raised eyebrow. I prayed to Moon God to bless me with an honest reply. But I

watched him looking around as if he wants to think for a reply.

"No! I think it was... umm... It might be some insect bite, I guess!"

He finished his sentence anxiously.

I thought you are better than this, Akhilan. I will indeed get angry on you for allowing her to touch what

is mine. But I don't want you to lie to me for escaping my anger, my dear mate.

"Oh!"

I said and healed the mark as I don't want it on his skin. He gasped and looked away.

"Let's go."

I said and went to the training circles. Mithun didn't speak to me yet. So I went to him to talk.

"Hi, Mithun! I am sorry..."

He cut me off.

"I knew about you, Kavi. I wasn't angry with you. But I was upset that you let all these things happen to

my family. Akhilan seems so much in love with you. Why can't you give him a chance?"

He asked me with a tone of sadness. I inhaled a deep breath.

"I will work on it, Mithun. I promise."

He taught me so many things and he was a great werewolf. I don't want to be stressed over his son's

life.

After training, Akhilan asked me to go out with him. I instantly told him that I was having works to

complete and walked away from him. I ignored his growl but I was circled by my friends and they

advised me to accept Akhilan. I just nodded and returned home. When I entered my home, I got

cautious and prepared myself as the vanilla scent was very fresh. Meaning - my mom is home. She

came out of the kitchen probably from my scent and looked at me with a sad face.

"I totally spoiled your life. Ain't I? Because of me, you decided to live alone without a mate."

I expected her to lash out on me but she was crying on the floor. I rushed to her and embraced her.

"No, mom. Don't blame yourself. It was my very own decision. He had agreed to marry another, don't

you remember? I wanted to know him first but he failed mom. Please don't cry."

I tried to console her.

"I want to see you live a happy life with your mate. I didn't have a genuine mate. But Akhilan is

different. Please don't push him away."

She pleaded to me.

"I am not pushing him away, Mom."

I lied and looked away.

"No. If you aren't pushing him away, he would be here with you. Mates are inseparable but you are too Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

stubborn and you are not realising that you are hurting your wolf with your stubbornness. Please let him

in. I knew you have several layers of shell and no one was allowed without a few layers of filter. But I

am your mother and I knew about you. I just stupidly let you do this all these years even after knowing

what you are doing to yourself. I am so irresponsible in your matter. Sorry, baby"

She started sobbing more. I promised her that I will give him a chance and then only she was

convinced.

I decided to take a warm bath. I walked out in my towel humming a recent movie song. I was startled to

see my mate lying on my bed and hugging my pillow. He sat up and looked at me with golden eyes. I

saw him eyeing me top to bottom and with a lustful growl, he hopped down and walked to me. My wolf

was purring as she was happy to feast his mate's eyes. I could feel my cheeks burning in

embarrassment. But I can't gain my mind to speak anything. The bond was already making me desire

for him.

"Hey beautiful, why are you testing my patience?"

Akhilan spoke in a deep voice.

He traced his hand from the top of my shoulder over my hand and lifted my hand and kissed my

knuckles. He didn't leave my hand but looked at me with his golden eyes and traced his thumb in

circles making tingles explode in his every trail. I shivered and closed my eyes. I opened my eyes when

I felt him cupping my cheeks. He leaned forward and kissed the tip of my nose. I smiled at his action

and looked at his golden eyes. He respects my comfort zone! I don't know why but I couldn't be angry

with his wolf. After all, he hadn't done anything though he should have stopped his human from doing

certain things. But I can't blame his wolf because my wolf endured all my decisions and agreed to stay

away from our mate though she didn't like it.

"Let's go out. Put some clothes on soon or else we might be skipping everything and I will make this

day memorable for you. Your mom was also very eager to play with our pups."

He spoke in a husky voice. I looked at him with burning cheeks and wide eye. My wolf suggested for

the latter but I shut her up and quickly locked the door pushing him out. Moon! Keep me sane around

him! I wore a white casual button down and jean long skirt.

I earned a low whistle from my mate when I went down to the living room. I sighed in relief for taking

some extra effort in applying some kajal and lip balm. His wolf was still in the surface and in complete

control. My mom was smiling at us happily. It was so good to see my mom smiling and it was better to

know the reason was me. When I went to take my bike key, he refused and lifted me in bridal style. I

reflexively circled my hands around his neck. I protested to him to put me down as I couldn't think

straight with all the tingling sensating also he was too close for my liking and his scent was blocking all

my senses. But he said bye to my mom and continue to carry me.

I realised he was planning to carry me all the way to wherever he was planning to take me. If I really

not wanted to be in his embrace, I would have jumped already. But deep down I too like being in his

arms despite all the things he had done. I know I was so mean by ignoring all my faults and looking at

his flaws. But I never let someone near me and the reason is I always wanted him. My heart was

paining a little but still, the mate bond was making me be contented with his presence. I rested my

head over his chest and waited for our destination.

I calmly listened to our synchronized heartbeats with my closed eyes. I felt him stop walking and

realized we are at the bank of the river. There was full of green around us. I smiled at him when I

noticed his wolf was still on the surface and he put me down and intertwined fingers with me. His

golden eyes were looking at me with so much love. This river is from the waterfall outside our pack and

would connect to the ocean which was situated on the other side of our territory. I noticed there was a

blanket spread near a tree with a picnic basket. He leads me there and I sat opposite to him.

"I thought you have patrol duty today?"

I asked as I remembered him doing them on particular dates and today was one among them.

"Yes, but I excused myself for a personal emergency, beautiful. How could I stay away from my

beautiful mate? You are always my first preference, beautiful! By the way, you seem aware of my

schedule. But I am not going to ask how!"

He stated cockily and traced the sides of my face and spoke with a confident smirk.

My body betrayed me by pumping all the blood to my cheeks. He smirked and opened the basket

offered me sliced pineapples and chocolate bread. How did he know my favourites? Maybe it was just

a coincidence. He will steal some food which I have bitten and will smile at me lovingly or wink at me.

And he often traces my face in the name of putting my fringe behind my ear. It sounds cliche but I was

blushing profusely at all his romantic gestures. I like this side of him but also the fear within me was

increasing with his showering of care.

Love always brought pain to me! And I prayed to Moon to make Akhilan as an exception for that rule in

my life.
