A Mysterious She-wolf
Chapter 53

Kavi's POV [Layla's POV]

"Aadhira had gone to check Sun's realm and these three went to earth. I went to Moon's realm, Goddess. He denied permission to enter his place. I got suspicious and sent telepathy to see if they have got any information. I got a negative reply and I asked them to come to Moon's realm. They came there and we warned Moon to let us in. He denied. We used the powers you gave us to damage the shield and entered there to search for Maayan as his essence was present there. And we were shocked to see him there in a garden and he seems to be staying there willingly. And he told us to tell you that he was doing what he wants to do and not disturb his life anymore. I... I can't control my anger and I hit him. I'm..."

Kathir's word caught in his throat with my fingers wrapped around his neck.

"How dare you touch him? Did you forget who he is?"

Kathir didn't say anything but closed his eyes when he felt my nails digging and breaking into his skin.

The fury of my man got hurt by one of my people was blinding my rational mind. But a faint cry of Aadhira reached my ears at the time before I rip his throat out. I blinked my eyes gaining back my control. The vision of Kathir barring his neck to me and Aadhira's pleading cries with the other three men cowered with a horrified look made me feel shame on my behaviour. I pulled away my hand and healed his skin and took the pain away.

"I'm sorry, Goddess."

He fell on his knees and a broken low voice reached my ears. I kept my hand over his head and stroked his hair.

"I am ashamed of myself, Kathir. I let my darkness control me. I want you guys to go and do your regular duties. You were given this position in my realm by your hard work, dedication and devotion. Don't let anything affect your duties. This is my life and my problem and it shouldn't affect my people. Aadhira, I will return with Maayan and till then take care of the realm. I have the feeling, this is going to take a long time for me to come back here."

The words came out on its own from my mouth and my fingers stiffened over Kathir's head. With a deep breath, I teleported near Moon's realm.

The darkness in me smirked proudly when I saw the damaged shield which was being reconstructed by Chandran with his divine powers. When he was about to seal the shield, I raised my hand and a spark of dark thread flew towards the gap and spread all over the shield shattering it into dust. He turned to my direction with annoyance but a smirk made its way to his mouth which made my darkness to growl. The darkness doesn't like his behaviour a bit and also the evil things in his mind was pulling my darkness to eat his soul to free the place off sin. Also, my soul sensed Maayan was no longer here. He had been here but not now.

"You think you can detach him from me just because you broke the connection? What we have between us is nothing you know about. That's a powerful thing than any of us. It's Love. Tell me where he is before I eat your soul.”

The darkness intermingled voice boomed in the space. He started laughing only to get hit with a ball of cosmic rock as my darkness forced nature to do that. The crimson liquid gushed out of his shoulder making me feel satisfied. A flash appeared and Aadhavan came out of the rectangular portal and looked at Moon and then at me.

"Layla, I warn you to go back. Your people had already broken his realm's shield and barged in. Now you are hurting him. Don't affect the solar system because of your personal problems. Maayan had taken his decision on his own will. No one is manipulating him. Don't make me force you back to your place. I don't want to affect our friendship.”

I laughed at his feeble attempt to make me leave.

"What did you call yourself? Friend uh? My friend won't be silent when my heart is bleeding in pain. You have changed and you know that. Don't interfere in this. I won't be responsible if I do some damage to you."

I raised my hand the rocks floating behind me turned its sharp edges toward the direction of my palm and my wave pulled them and flew towards Moon and Sun along with a coating of my darkness.

Sun cautiously formed a shield of fire melting the rock in his way but failed to cover Moon in time. Chandran got hit with a few rocks and fainted. A thread of darkness entered his body and slowly started d taking over him. I noticed Sun turning his shield into a flow of fire and forced it towards me. A wing of darkness formed from my back and it flapped away the force Sun had directed towards me.

"Just tell me where he is. I don't have time to fight with you. Maayan's soul would be in pain as much as mine. I want to heal him. He needs me. Tell me NOW."

I shouted at them. Their silence enraged my darkness. I closed my eyes and started gathering the vast darkness around me. My body was radiating the darkness and the panic in Sun's eyes only boosted my power. Sun muttered something pulling the unconscious Chandran along with him into a portal and vanished in a blink. A screech of frustration escaped my lips. I closed my eyes and pressed my nails into my palm and the drops of blood formed into a group of dark hounds. I nodded my head and they went to guard the Moon's realm and a few disappeared to watch Sun's realm.

Both of them need to be at their natural place to keep their selves powerful. So Moon might go to any of the moons present in the solar system. But Sun needs to go to only one place and I am not letting him escape so soon.

Now my only grief is where my love is. Why was he running away from me? loo

The fragmented pieces of my broken heart were calling for her love. The darkness unbounded had been searching for him all over the solar system. Aadhavan was in his realm but there was no trace of my love being there. Sun had created a powerful shield to stop any darkness coming near him. I don't mean any harm to anyone. All I wanted is Maayan. Sun and Moon knew about him but hiding it from me. That's my problem.

They must have masked the place to not make any magical or my divine power to find it out. The darkness was spread over the earth as it feels his presence there but even the powerful darkness wasn't able to find him out.

The search extended for a few weeks turning my soul darker. I am snapping at everyone and never visited my realm back but roaming and searching for my Maayan all around the earth. I can't go back there. It wasn't my home anymore without him.

The people in my realm were doing their duty and searching for Maayan in their free time. A part of me was still trusting that my darling would come back but there was no improvement over the matter. It hadn't happened all of sudden. They have got it preplanned well about every move. But they didn't expect that my real power - darkness would be unleashed by their action.

The people in Maayan's tribe weren't there. There wasn't a trace of anyone from there. It was like they have vanished from the surface of the earth. And I feel like everything was just a dream. But the bleeding heart of mine reminds me of the lovely time I spent with him.

Kathir appeared to my side and fell on his knee bowing me. I nodded my head and looked at him expectantly. He had a ray of hope in his eyes which lit up the dark void in me.

"Did you get any clue?" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I asked him out as he was keeping quiet. He nodded his head with a distant vengeance look.

"The place where Moon had been hiding was discovered by our people, Goddess. He is on earth, towards the south. He was hiding in hunters clan.”

Hunters clan is a group of people who use weapons to hunt other animals with the help of pet wolves. They have good spiritual knowledge and had been trying to find a way to escape the purification of their souls. But they never got a chance for that as every soul would be purified as per the order of our creator.

Chandran’s cunning mind really chosen a right place as the clan would always keep their place well lit up to not let the darkness enter their place. They believe it would keep their sins masked away from the darkness. But when their soul reaches my place, all the sins committed by the soul would be revealed before the “Truth flame"

"Order me, Goddess! I will capture him and drag him to you.”

The determination in his voice made me nod.

"Don’t go there alone and be very careful. He would be expecting us anytime. You are a great warrior but Moon is smart and also he has divine powers."

I said to him. He vanished with a bow but a lump formed in my throat made me rethink my decision.

Chandran is in Hunters clan! Something isn't right! I have the feel Maayan wasn't there. Chandran wouldn't keep Maayan near him. I sent telepathy to Aadhira to send the best forces to pursue Kathir. I sat down under a tree to meditate. These meditations will help me gain control over my darkness.

I felt a sting in my heart a few moments later bringing me out of my meditation. I could tell what was wrong. I teleported to the place where Kathir was. The sight instantly brought the darkness to the surface and she lets out a powerful wave of force making the hunters fall unconscious. The strong stench of blood and the grunting of my wounded warriors made me shake in rage. The strange scent reached my nose and it threatened my darkness making it radiate off me in a defensive stance. That was a thing I recently heard about but never seen before; bright ash liquid. The ash of a powerful meteorite that once had been a bright sun in some other milky way. The Hunters ground that rock and made potions out of it to coat the weapons-making it as a deadly one for the people under the wing of darkness.

I let my darkness to heal my people but the wounds weren't closing. I extended my hand to touch a warrior's wound but the power of bright ash gave me a wave of pain through the contact. My brain was trying to find a way to vanish the pain of my people. A slashing sound in the air made me turn sharply. A cry escaped my mouth as a lone tear rolled down my cheek. Kathir's body slowly fell to the ground with a moan of pain when that scoundrel raised his hand to stab the long sword soaked in bright ash liquid along with Kathir's blood into my heart. A hand stopped it from downwards and Kathir kicked Moon hard. Moon flew away and squeaked in pain. My body gave out helplessly on seeing my greatest warrior sacrificing his life for me.

"Don't touch the wound, Goddess... Ah! It would hurt you.”

My eyes teared up to see his state and the heart of the man thinking about my wellbeing even at his death bed.

"Kathir, I won't let you die. Stay with me..."

His painful look on his face turned into a smile — a smile of knowing that wasn't possible. He propped up his body and I helped him lean on my lap. The flowing tears from my eyes weren't doing anything and the darkness within me was so powerless to do anything. His eyes signalled me to come closer.

"I am happy to die for you, Goddess. Thank you so much for everything.”

His low and pained tone ended with a gasp as his soul escaped from his body and disappeared into thin air.

He is an immortal. His soul would reach our creator and she will make him as a star. His face looked so peaceful as if he was asleep. He had been with me for almost five millennia and I couldn't believe he was no more just because of the vengeance of that stupid man. The thought made me realize the presence of another divine here.

I looked up at the pale man managing to get up with a struggle as the darkness that entered him on that day of the fight had drained his energy and powers. I got up gently making Kathir lie down and forced towards him with the speed and my fingers wrapped around his neck choking him and my nails were digging into his skin sending the shots of darkness into his system. The nerves in his body started appearing black on his pale skin as he cried in pain.

"You dared to kill my warrior? What was your problem? Do you want to let everyone know that you are powerful than me when actually you aren't? I will show what I can do now."

I let the darkness to flow freely from my tip of fingers into his system. He coughed out the dark gases trying to get them out of his body.

"You can't kill me. If you did... the reason why Maayan left you... would forever die with me.”

My hand loosened on its own and my heart wept at the mention of my love.

"Don't think you can trick me. You have manipulated him and made him leave me. There is no question of reason. We were in so much love."

The words came out barely as the pain in my soul was overpowering everything in me.

"Take your venom back... I can't...”

Chandran fell on the ground gasping for air. I muttered a silent apology to Kathir and took my darkness back and he gulped in the air and coughed out the balance dark gas in his system.

"Did you forget he didn't go through the process of purification? He still has the human part of him. What a normal human would expect in a relationship is all he expects from you. But he realized he wouldn't get that from you and that's why he left.”

He spoke in a low tone leaning on a tree nearby.

"We had love and happiness in our life. We have been so close with being our souls connected to each other. What else was there? What made him break the connection?”

My pained voice brought smirk on his wicked face. The darkness was too hurt to react for his arrogance.

"He wants to feel the happiness of becoming a father. He wants a baby which you can never give him as he wasn't a God. That's the reason he had been seeking the intimacy of another woman recently who had granted him his wish. So he left you for her and his future offspring. I don't see any wrong in that. Every man would want his offspring to carry the heritage of his blood."

She fell on her knees believing the lies of the bright Moon while the man he loved looked at her painting in tears yearning to be with her and his offspring growing in his Cupcake's stomach. But the lies and evilness had separated them as they love each other more than their self.
