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?" Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

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.

SN RN

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 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!"
