A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 21

Kavi's POV

"I didn't help you expecting something in return. But if you really want to help us... I need a favour from

you. I want you to break my mate bond"

I never thought my wolf would ask for something like that. I knew she was in pain on seeing our mate

with another she-wolf but how could she be ready to break the bond? I am not going to stop her. It has

to be done anyway. And if it would make my wolf feel better, I will agree to it happily. I knew mates were

the very closest thing to a wolf's heart but she must have been very wounded to take this decision.

I looked at Jasmine and she was frowning. I exhaled a sigh.

"My mate is going to marry another she-wolf soon. I don't want to feel their every intimacy. So please

help me break the bond."

My wolf said making me remember that they are getting engaged tomorrow.

"Breaking the bond of soulmates is not a good thing. But I think I could do that. That's the least I could

do for the one who gave me back my son. I don't want you to experience the horrific pain. I had a

werewolf friend and I saw her suffering when her mate cheated on her. The elders in my coven helped

her to break the bond and I have seen the ritual. I knew it is a sin to break the mate bond. But I am

ready to do that for you."

I felt guilty for using her vulnerable state but this has to be done. But I have very few choices. Maybe I

could help her to raise her standard of living by requesting Luna Shrini to allow her to get Jasmine a

home there. She went inside and came back with a big book and turned the page. She paused at a

page and smiled at me. She told me that we could do that at midnight and she started studying the

procedures. She cooked me a great dinner and went out to prepare for the ritual because it needs a big

place. She asked me to sleep in her bed across her son and went out to prepare for the ritual.

I couldn't sleep as my mind was confusing me that I doing something wrong. Jasmine came inside and

looked at me.

"It's time. Are you sure? Do you really want to do this? It may pain a little while the bond inside you die

and your mate will feel it."

She questioned me.

"I am sure. It has to be done. He wants another she-wolf. I can't accept him anymore."

I said in a determined tone and followed her to the front yard.

"Okay. You need to shift into your wolf form. Wolf is directly related to mate bond and it will make the

ritual easy."

I nodded my head and went behind a tree and stripped my clothes to shift into my wolf form.

"Let me explain everything. I will do chanting and expose your mate bond from your body into the air.

Then I will use my power to burn your bond. It will give you a burning sensation all over your body but

you should stay inside this big pentacle. After the bond burnt completely, you will be free from the

mate-bond that currently binding you."

I listened to her keenly and nodded my wolf form.

"See, you have agreed for the same. So your wolf should be kept in control. If she started rampaging, I

need to used wolfbane to control her. Because we can't stop the ritual in the middle."

She warned me. And I agreed by nodding and went into the pentacle that had big candles at each

corner.

I laid in middle and she started reading the lines in the book and started pouring and putting something

in the cauldron in front of her. I felt a strange thing connecting with me. I calmed myself and waited for

her to complete the ritual.

I gasped when I felt something pushing past my ribcage and I saw a blue shining thread like thing

coming out of me. Oh Moon! It was my mate bond. She poured something into the bowl and raised it

and blew it in my direction. A rope of fire came from it and it approached my mate bond. But all of

sudden a black gas like thing came out from the same place where the mate bond come from and it

went near my mate bond and covered it in a spherical shape and turned into a mirror-like thing. The

rope of fire approached it in slow motion and when it touched the outer layer it was redirected upward.

The mate bond was safely inside the mirror layer. I looked at Jasmine and she was looking at my

exposed mate bond with wide eyes. Before I could realise the glass layer pushed past my rib and my

mate bond was again inside my heart.

She turned the pages in the book vigorously and looked at me to stay at the same place. She muttered

some chanting and the blue shining thread came out and she blew above the vessel which made the

fire like rope come near me. and again I felt my body releasing something. And the same thing

happened like before.

'What the hell is that black thing?'

I asked my wolf annoyed.

'I am wondering about the same. I don't know but I could feel it was coming from us.'

She replied and extended her paw to touch it but it moved aside and entered my body again.

A big great failure!

I turned into my human and walked out of the circle to the worried Jasmine.

"Hey, chill. It's okay. Maybe we could try later."

I tried to make her cheer up.

"No! I am one of the powerful witches in my coven. I could easily perform this. But that black thing is

stopping me. Are you sure you are only werewolf but not a hybrid or something?"

She asked me softly.

"I am just a werewolf but I have that healing power. Maybe it was protecting the mate bond. If I was

destined to live with pain, no one can change that. Thanks for trying anyway. Let's sleep now. We will

talk about it later."

I convinced her and she halfheartedly came into the house and slept next to her son.

I woke up with the sound of giggles and saw from the window that Jasmine's son was up and playing in

the front yard excitedly. He stops within minutes and he will trace his legs in awe and he runs again. I

noticed Jasmine admiring her son in happy tears. I walked out and smiled at her. She introduces me to

her son and we played for some time. I should go home before night. I was already late. I freshened up

and gave my number to her and left to ride the bike back to the pack. I nudged all my annoying friends

to tell I am back through mindlink. But Logan's pleasured groan instantly made me shut all the links and

made me turn red. I shouldn't have disturbed his time with his mate. Horny rascal!

'You can do it, Kavi. Don't worry! You can handle it! Just don't let your emotions out'

I said to myself to the mirror as my mother insisted me to attend Akhilan's engagement.

They have planned to celebrate the engagement in the backyard of the pack house where most of the

celebrations happen. Also, my mom is a good friend of Mithun. As soon as I came back here from the

council, she took me shopping and bought me tonnes of clothes. I was now caked up and stuffed inside

a deep grey cocktail dress which covers till my ankle. I usually hate to wear heels but why not put on a

show? I choose a black heel matching with the outline border of the dress and wore a long dangling

white gold earring. I didn't remove my moonstone pendant even though it was looking odd with my new

avatar. I thought I could say bye to this pendant last night but I was wrong.

My wolf blocked me from the morning and I was masking the pain because I should get used to living

with this pain. I should find a way to break the bond. Though I can't get my mate back!

I asked my mom to go there to help her friend in the arrangements so I could go without any rush. My

heartbeat was louder than usual. I repeated my chanting to calm myself and walked to the pack house

locking my home. I took a few deep breaths to ease myself and took a long route to go from the front of

pack house to delay the time as much as possible. But at last, I was just a few steps away from the

place where their event was going on.

I stepped out and met with those elegant decorations. A small arc was set up in the middle of the

ground and there stands my handsome chunk of my mate. He was in a grey suit with a black shirt. He

looks so handsome as always. His stubble was so inviting for me to run my hand across his jawline. He

was smiling at everyone coming to him.

His eyes looked at my direction and he locked his eyes with me. I knew I look different with my hair

done in a messy bun and the blood-red lipstick was contrasting my purple eyes. His eyes travelled from

my head to toe and I noticed his eyes turning dark. My wolf peeked to see his reaction. A hand cupped

his cheek and made him look down. I sighed as I was too stupid to not even notice Pooja in shining

blue dress trying to get his attention back to her. He was with his fiancee. The one he chose over me.

I looked at her speaking to him happily. At least they are happy! I sighed and looked up and found

Akhilan looking at me again. His stare was stirring something inside me. I saw Pooja had noticed him

looking at me. She gave me a dirty smirk and turned around to him. I knew she was up to something.

She pulled Akhilan's collar and smashed her lips on his. I tried hard to avert my gaze but I couldn't. As

if time froze, I was dumbfounded looking at them with wide eyes. I could feel tears welling up. People

were cheering them. A needle pierced my heart. The pain was spreading inside my stomach. Mate

bond is punishing me.

Suddenly a loud growl erupted in the crowd. It wasn't mine. A pair of golden eyes looked at me and

back at the she-wolf in the ground. Akhilan's wolf took over and he pushed Pooja away. My wolf

instantly put her walls down and admired our mate for doing such a thing.

"Don't you dare put your filthy paw on us. My human was stupid but I can't accept you as my mate."

He growled out loud. My wolf was howling in happiness inside me. I just looked in the scene in shock.

"Akhilan! What is this? Get back the control. You have agreed to marry her."

Rakshana shouted at him. But Akhilan didn't come up. His wolf stood tall and towered his mother. His

father came and pushed his mate back and let out a warning growl with his eyes having a golden circle.

"I won't do any hurt to my mother, father. I just want to ask her one thing. Would she have agreed to

marry someone else if haven't met you till her twenty-sixth age? Or would you have married another

she-wolf other than your mate?"

They both look shocked and bowed their heads down. I already love his wolf. Moon! He got balls to

speak to his parents like this. My wolf was lusting at his deep voice.

"As I thought, you don't have the answer. And if you have, it would be probably a big 'no'. So don't force

me into anything. Even my human doesn't have any romantic feeling for this she-wolf. But he had fallen

for another she-wolf. He should gain his courage to tell her. I too like that she-wolf. But I want to wait for

my mate. She might have already looking for me. I should wait for her. If you want to get him to marry,

let him wait for his mate or let him express his feelings for that she-wolf he loves. I can't accept this

female as mine.

My human had already told this female that he doesn't have any feeling for her other than friendship

and asked her to stop this nonsense, but she just passed the time till now telling that she will stop this

wedding. I let it go but she dared to touch me. *growl* If you touch me again, I will kill you bitch."

He was so emotional and was shaking in rage. I wanted to hug and calm him down. A kiss from a she-

wolf was needed for his wolf to surface and put everyone in their place. I felt a hand on my shoulder

and looked at Alpha beside me.

'Go and tell him at least now. He proved you his love. What else do you want?'

He mind linked me in a calm tone. I smiled sadly at him.

'Only half of him had said that. But I am happy that at least his wolf considered for his mate. And you

heard that his human was love in with a she-wolf. He didn't change. He didn't want his mate. I am not

going put him in pressure to be with me just because I am his mate. Let him decide whomever he

wants to be with. I think you should speak to Mithun. He might be feeling bad now.'

I turned and looked at him. He shook his head and patted my shoulder before walking towards them.

I turned around and decided to go home. A lot of unexpected things was happening. But I am not

gonna let him near me unless he realises what he really wants. Before I could get away a few steps. I

paused and looked around on hearing Akhilan's voice calling my name. I can't help the shiver running

through my body when I heard my name coming out of his mouth.

He ran towards me and looked at me uncomfortably. With a deep intake of breath, he gets down on

one knee before me and extended a red rose towards me. I can't describe the happiness swelling

inside me. So the human part loves with me as well. I looked at him with wide eyes.

"I knew I shouldn't be doing this just after breaking my engagement. But I can't keep my love buried

within me anymore. This engagement was a mistake. After I returned here, I was so happy to see you

back. But with your beauty and every beautiful thing you do, I can't help but get attracted to you more

and more. My wolf strangely likes you, unlike any other she-wolves. I admire your braveness. I love the

way you are. I hope I could bring back the old you. Please give me a chance to prove myself worthy for

you. I want to live the rest of my life with you even you are not my mate. Will you marry me, Anjali?"

I was floating in ecstasy until he mentioned the statement 'even you are not my mate'. It was like hot

water poured on my face making me awake from my favourite dream. My face hardened.

"I am sorry, Akhilan. I am waiting for my mate. If I have affected you in any way, I apologise. But I am

not like you, Akhilan. You lead a female on till a few minutes back. You should have spoken to your

parents at the very beginning. And how can I trust you with marriage when you could leave me just like

Pooja when you find your mate. I already had enough with the mate drama from my mother's life. I will

only mate with the person destined to me. Sorry for being rude. But you should clear your head and

choose your life. The happiness of our parents is very important but I can't agree with what have you

done. Man up!"

I spoke venomously ignoring my wolf's protest and ran towards the wood.

He had a devasted look on his face. I felt a deep pain within me. I basically rejected my mate. But I

didn't say those words to break the bond. I can't break it without telling it on his face. But I would never

be capable of rejecting him directly. I need some fresh air. I blocked my mind link as I felt several

nudges. I stripped behind a tree and folded and kept my dress under it. I shifted into my wolf and

started running. The wind caressing my face was calming me down but I was very much angry with my

mate. How dare he?

'Go back to our mate, bitch. He might have felt the bond's attraction. Why are you complicating our life Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

more? Now stop runn...'

I blocked my wolf and ran towards the beach. I walked to the shore and let out a loud howl to let out the

pent up frustration inside me. I laid there watching the Moon moving in the sky. I remained there for a

few hours. I raised my head and found the dark brown wolf and his jackfruit scent hit me hard. He came

to me and sat down. I raised my front body and turned away from him. He barked me to open my mind

link. I did.

'Why are you here, Mukilan? I need some alone time.'

I linked him.

'I am not here to disturb or advice you. I finished my work and I thought it would be good if I was with

you after knowing what happened.'

He linked me back.

I muttered an annoyed 'whatever' and went back to laying down.

'Your mom was worried. I mind linked her that you are with me. I knew you feel lonely without Logan

and Surya here. They will return here from their mate's pack soon. I don't know why you are so angry.

We can like anyone. It happens and we can't stop it. He proposed you and you rejected him. That's it.

Don't overthink and confuse yourself. We can't change the past."

He put his paw on my head and patted me. He was a little small compared to my wolf. I stood up on my

fours and looked at him. But what he said was right.

'Do you think I over-reacted to Akhilan?'

I asked him.

'To be honest, yes. You could have asked for time and explained to him when was alone. His mother

shouted at him when you left. He was so broken as if his destined mate rejected him. He is also my

friend and as his friend, I want to slap you for increasing his problems.'

I was surprised at the way he spoke. He never raised his voice with me. He was always a sweet friend.

'What do you mean by more problems?'

I asked with more attention.

'Don't you know how much his mother dislikes you? And she was very much close to Pooja. Pooja was

always with her when she suffered from Amudhan's loss. That's why Rakshana agreed when Pooja

told her wish to marry Akhilan. But he humiliated the family by breaking the engagement with such

drama in front of the pack. But how that idiot thought it was a good idea to propose you immediately?

Like the cherry on top, you lashed out on him. Now he might be facing the wrath of his mother. Poor

soul.'

He linked me with sadness.

Oh Moon! Why didn't I think about it? But there is nothing for me to do to change the things. I sighed

and looked at him and linked him a 'sorry'.

'Ask him. Not me. Let's go back.'

He linked me. I nodded and we ran back to my home and he bid bye there and left to pack house.
