A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 40

Akhilan's POV

They started discussing all the expecting dangers possible at Qywesir. My beautiful mate was too

involved in the discussion. I am listening but not with full attention. I just repel the presence of that wiz.

How dare he touch my mate? The only strange thing is I heard that when one's mate try to get physical

contact with another male, the destined mate will feel it from the intense pain in the abdomen. But I

didn't feel any pain when that stupid wiz kissed her. To the contrast, I felt aroused from the bond which

made me get angry with myself. How can I possibly be aroused when my mate was with someone

else? But that's the exact thing happened. It was worser than the pain.

I couldn't comprehend why these all were happening to us? If she was already bound to a soul, why I

have to be paired to her. I am not complaining. She is the best thing happened to me in my life and I

just fear she would leave me for him though she was trying to reassure me on every occasion. She

didn't hate me like how it should have been but she loves me even after knowing about her beloved.

And I love her more. I can't bear the thought of her heart beating for another man yet I have nothing in

my hand. Hurting him would hurt her. She literally bled when I bite him. She was physically connected

with him and that's why my mark had turned into a bruise.

I spoke to Aadhira in private once my mate was sleeping. I remember her saying that they have been

looking at the birth of every soul on earth to find a trace of their Goddess in them. Being so close to

Moon, they couldn't look into our life until the soul of our wolf and human comes here to get purified. All

these years they have been looking for her but it seems the fate has made its decision to bring her

back here by the person who was waiting for her and repulse her the most.

I have many doubts as to why she didn't find him sooner but on her nineteenth birthday? Why was she

born in the species created by the moon? Why she was still holding on to me while she would have

easily rejected me and put end to the confusion between her eternal lover? And why I have a feeling

that I was not only connected to her as a mate but something more?

I didn't tell my mate about all these. This place makes my mind and heart calm. I know its strange. I

don't feel shocked when I got to know my mate is the reincarnation of Goddess of darkness whom we

taught to hate since our childhood by making us listen to the story of the creation of our species. But

the moment I get to know my mate is the darkest creature mentioned in the story, I knew that story was

not the exact one but a modified one.

Back at the place while we trapped in some cave, my instinct made me realise that the person trapped

in needs my mate's trust. It was like I knew it myself. Our bond must have induced her instinct with my

thought and she easily guessed it on the second time. This place oddly feels familiar to me. I was

somehow connected to everything happening around me but I have no clue about anything. Maybe

after my mate gets her power back, I could tell her this. I don't want to load her with more pressure than

the stress she already taking. She is so strong and a brave woman and she is mine.

My inner conscious was slightly disturbed that something big gonna happen. Whatever happens, my

love for her will never die! I paused my self-contemplation and focused on what that Maayan was

explaining.

Kavi's POV

Aadhira told that she had made the strongest warriors ready to send with us because she didn't trust

Akhilan and Maayan. Her open accusal made them make some statement of displeasure. They weren't

pleased by her accusal. I assured her that I will take care of myself and we need back up here if

Chandran decided to attack the realm when I was away.

Currently, I'm in the kitchen. Maayan was at the final stage of finishing his potions and I was assisting

him out of curiosity. Actually, I thought he could bring anything out of magic but he explained that his

powers were limited. Only Gods have the power to do anything at their will but still, they can't do any

changes to time and destiny. I got embarrassed myself by quoting Harry potter thing to let him know

that I knew something about magic. He explained how wrong I was but didn't tease me to my relief. He

waved his wand and the content in cauldron started filling themselves into small vials.

He had prepared two potions. One is particularly for me and Akhilan as a part-human we can't go

Qywesir without a proper spacesuit. So this potion will ensure the duty of spacesuit and help our body

to adapt to the surface of Qywesir. The other potion that filled into small vials was the liquid that would

help as the portal to teleport us to the Realm of Darkness. My teleportation powers were not yet

developed and I managed to teleport once due to the situation was life or death. But I couldn't do that

properly when I tried here a few time. It may take time and practice like it happened for my healing

power.

I smelled my mate and found him coming in with an amused look to see how the place was wrecked

with some of the ingredients splattered over the floor and the room had an odd smell. I thought he

would be sleeping as he appeared tired while we were discussing Qywesir visit.

"What are you doing here? You have been through a lot in the past few days. You need proper sleep."

My mate frowned on seeing me wide awake at the middle of the night. I gave him a sheepish smile.

"I was just curious to see how the potions were really made. That's why came here."

I replied to him.

"Or she doesn't want to stay away from me. Wasn't it true, Cupcake?"

Maayan added cockily bringing a growl out of my mate and Akhilan instantly pulled me to a side hug.

Maayan rolled his eyes and kept his wand near me to wash his hand. Akhilan picked it up and touched

the white wand with a look of confusion. I nodded my head 'what' to him. He nodded his head 'nothing'.

"Why are you always taking things that don't belong to you?"

Maayan hissed on seeing his wand in my mate's hand.

How could they pick fight even with these small things?

"What? I'm just seeing it. How does it work?"

He asked curiously to my surprise as I expected him to give a mock reply.

"People born with magical abilities can use magical wands. That's a special wand. It won't work for

anyone other than me. Give it back before you hurt yourself. I have not concerned about you but if you

get pain, it will affect her which I don't want to happen."

Maayan warned and I wondered what's the speciality to that wand that made Maayan so tensed. But

Akhilan didn't seem to listen to him.

"Let's see."

He muttered and I saw him blowing on the end of the wand and a breeze of fire came out of the tip of

the wand. I gasped and got down from the counter.

"How did you do that?"

I asked in complete awe.

"Impossible!"

I turned towards Maayan on hearing his voice in disbelief.

"I think you are assuming it's power wrongly! I don't have any magical powers but see it works. Keep it

safe!"

Akhilan kept the wand slowly in Maayan's hand and patted his shoulder before going out of the kitchen.

I heard a big sigh from Maayan.

"This is not good! This is complicated than I expected!"

I looked at him confused. But without explaining why he was exclaiming like that, he too left me in the

kitchen with his deep thoughts.

Maayan poured the potion on a huge mirror making it our portal to go there. He signalled to me;

Akhilan and I drank a very bitter and sour drink to make our body to adopt any situations for the next

twelve hours. Maayan entered the portal with a determined look followed by Akhilan and with a deep

breath I entered the mirror. The same sensation of teleporting engulfed me.

This time I could manage to stand properly without any support. I inhaled deeply on seeing nothing but

icebergs all the sides my vision could see. I didn't feel cold as the potion was helping me to cope up the

surface of the planet and I feel like the atmosphere and gravity was almost similar to earth which was

probably the trick of the potion.

I looked at Maayan quizzically.

Were we teleported to the right place? Because this place has nothing but a snow-covered place.

Where was Maayan trapped in this planet?

"I think we need to walk a bit to see whether we find any clue."

Maayan spoke in common.

After a few steps, a gasp escaped my mouth as a certain vision blurred my brain. It means I have been

here before. I have visions only when something familiar with my past life was around me. I pulled

Maayan's hand and he looked at me expectantly.

"Did you feel something?"

He asked me.

I nodded. I couldn't speak as my heart started flooding with sudden emotional pain. Akhilan rubbed my

back soothing the pain away. I smiled at him and walked forward as my instinct guided.

At a particular place, my body froze and head started pounding and I fell on my knees. The surrounding

had totally changed.

Unlike the icy surface, the pace was now covered with rocks and sand. There was a huge rock before

me. Chandran was here with another man and Maayan. Chandran and the other man were looking at

me accusingly. I was speaking to them with an exhausted look. But I couldn't hear what was they

speaking. Then suddenly Chandran summoned a dagger and it comes to me. I took that in my hand;

the mere touch was already started poisoning my system. I looked at Maayan with a sad smile and I

raised the dagger and pierced my stomach with it. The venom slowly spread over my body and my soul

and a black gas comes out which make my body disappear into dust. The black gas entered Maayan's

body. My soul was pulled by something and that too disappeared from the place. Now there was no

trace for my existence in this galaxy!

I gulped hard struggling to breath clutching my stomach. Maayan and Akhilan were shouting my name.

Their close proximity instantly made me feel better. I looked at Maayan and found his face had a

glimpse of guilt.

"Layla was killed exactly in this place."

I whispered clearing Akhilan's confusion.

"There was a rock in my vision. If my guess was right. You were trapped there."

I stated to Maayan. He inhaled a deep breath.

"Yes. I too could feel the presence of magic here. Let me see what can I do."

He said to me and pulled his wand from his pant.

He started moving the wand in different pattern and like a bubble burst out, a wave of magic

disappeared and the place had a different appearance now.

There was a huge wall before us and the end of the wall was not appearing anywhere near my vision

but there was a door on the wall right before us. The door was rusted and only half of the door was

visible to us. We took a step forward but paused when a thread of fire formed near the door. That fire

thread took a rectangular door like form. We couldn't see anything but we know what it is.

It's a teleportation portal!

The same grey-haired pale old man walked out with so much divinity, confidence and arrogance

radiating off him. He walked graciously towards us and smirked when his eyes met mine. The wolf in

me cowered and I promised her to not let anything happen to her. Maayan's aura was radiating anger

and Akhilan was rather confused.

I saw Maayan raising his wand from my peripheral vision. Before he could do something, I felt

something bounding me and I was raised a few feets off the ground. I noticed Maayan and Akhilan

were also hanging from the invisible thing binding us and Maayan's wand was floating in the air.

"It's been a while, Maayan. I thought you would be spending your time with your beloved in bed. But

you are so eager to rectify the mistake you did in past. But you are still the naive wizard and you won't

stand a chance before Moon God."

He spoke so sweetly but his words have venom.

"You bastard! Do you think you can overpower Layla? Only in your dreams. Release me from this

constraint. I will show you what I can do with my magic. AH.."

Maayan's furious words turned into a painful wail and I felt the same amount of pain in my body. I

ground my teeth to not let out a weep.

"I may not overpower Layla. But it's because of me, she vanished from the surface of this galaxy. And

remember, I wasn't going to let her return. Kavithanjali is just a werewolf who cried all her life for the

miseries happened in her life. She was nowhere near powerful. And after I take her wolf from her, she

will become a pathetic human who was going to die painfully in the same way Layla died."

Chandran's tone promised the words he uttered. And I felt low the way he described my life. But his

words were true. I'm just a werewolf. And I wasn't powerful enough to face problems but chose a way

to hid from it on all occasions.

Chandran's eyes moved to Akhilan and smiled at him. Chandran's aura radiated power but my mate

remained unfazed.

"Oh Akhilan! I am so sorry for pairing up with such a woman. She would have left you for him. I didn't

know she was the darkest soul of this solar system. Otherwise, I would have paired you up with a

woman who could satisfy all your need before you ask. I know you have been feeling the pain from the

bruised mark and you weren't even able to enjoy your young life. I guess she didn't even let you mate

her yet. So I will do you a favour for your genuine prayers to me."

He paused and looked at me with a smirk. I knew he was planning something evil. I thought we three

could overpower him but here he had all of us in his clutches without any effort. I can't see anything

happening to my mate! I am ready to die again if these two were let to be alive.

"I apologise, Moon God. After seeing your real face, I don't think I have the same devotion to you. Life

or death, I want it to be with my Anjali and for my Anjali. At least once behave like a divine and leave

us."

I watched Akhilan with awe as he dared to speak like that to Moon God. His words gave my wolf some

courage and I tried to break out of the power that restricting me.

"Ah! I should have known! She must have done some dark magic on you, Let's end this now!"

He raised his hand and my eyes widened when I felt my mark burning and our souls which I felt

intertwining with each other was now untangling from each other. Akhilan was howling in the pain of our

bond breaking. A red shining thread was released out of my mark which made my mark disappear from

my skin leaving no trace of its presence and it entered Akhilan's heart.

I cried out for him but he fainted and I looked at Maayan to do something but he was looking at me

helplessly. I saw Chandran waving at Akhilan towards the portal and there he was gone!

A tear rolled over my cheek and my wolf was howling in agony and grief. My body felt like drained out.

My mate was no more my mate!

How can he be so cruel to break our bond? He dared to separate me from my mate... my lover... my

Teddy! I felt the rage rising within me and I looked at Chandran who was smirking so arrogantly without

any trace of guilt. I thrashed around the invisible rope to find some way to release myself so I could kill

this sick old man who was telling himself as Moon God.

"I thought he was a good pup. But he insulted me and took your side. Let him enjoy my small gift for

challenging me. And I won't let him live a happy life anymore. And what's that girl name... Ummm...

Yeah, Pooja! Maybe I should kill her mate and let them get together. You hate her right. After I kill this

wizard and taking your wolf, you will be left powerless and marked as a traitor by your friends and

family. You will see Akhilan and Pooja falling in love. Then I will twist Pooja's mind and make his life a

living hell. He can't escape life because his wolf might want his mate but he can't live peacefully

because of the tortures he goes through. Yeah! That idea was so tempting. I want to see you break

down every time seeing them together and I want you to be in tears forever thinking about the death of

your beloved in front of your eyes. And all the close people to your heart will suffer one way or other. It

was so good to see you in a broken state. I have experienced that taste before a few millennia and I

still crave for that. Let's start the party, Kavithanjali. Let this be a lesson for anyone who thinks about

defeating me! And I will prove the world again that I am powerful than the Goddess of Darkness."

His words rang across my mind. I would rather die than to experience the things he said! He raised his

hand, I felt a deep pain from my stomach and Maayan's cry reached my ears.

"Leave them to live their life. Take my life. I am your enemy, right?"

I whispered to him in a determined voice bearing the pain from our connection.

"Oh no! I don't want your death. Then history will blame me for killing a pathetic werewolf in fear of her

turning into the Goddess of darkness. I would rather enjoy your suffering while everyone praises me for

forgiving you to let live."

He spoke with an excited tone which made me shake in rage.

He wanted to portray himself as a good person but all he had inside were evil thoughts. I closed my

eyes and all the good memories I had with my family, mate and Maayan flashed before me. I can't let

all those people suffer for his craziness.

Suddenly I realised whenever I was angry I felt a presence of something within me which would trigger

my rage to high levels. Maybe he just wanted to make me feel low. If I am the reincarnation of Layla, I

should be as powerful as Moon God. My powers might be sealed with Maayan. But I am here! I opened

my fisted palm. I can do it. I ignored the pain and focused on myself to trigger that thing always rested

in me. I cried out in frustration and Maayan's pain was triggering me in a good way. I shouted loudly to

summon all the energy within me.

I'm Layla! I'm the Goddess of darkness! I'm not weak! I am not going to let him harm my loved ones!

"My powers may not be with me at this moment, Chandran. But you are forgetting one thing! I'm

Goddess of darkness! The first one born before the creation of this solar system in this vacuum. Do you

think I will let you again to torture the people I love? My soul still has the same will power and energy to

destroy this Galaxy. And you are just a speck of dust before me!"

I yelled at him in a strange voice like I was being possessed.

Then that magic happened!

Like thunder streaks, black and purple magical waves entered my body making me feel so powerful

and energetic! My voice reached its high tone and with a tug, my restraint broke into pieces. My eyes

started glowing purple. I looked towards Maayan and broke his restraint with making a slash in the air

with my hand. He was clutching his stomach in pain. I drew a circle around him and the shield of

healing bubble formed around him.

I looked at the mighty Moon-god who was looking at me with dropped jaws! I laughed out loud! He NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

opened his mouth to speak but I shushed him.

"You should have killed me when you had a chance! Now it's my turn, Chandran!"
