A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 37

Kavi's POV

I took in a deep breath and entered the Throne Hall. Every people here were taller than the usual

humans and werewolves and they have been standing in well-coordinated rows. The hall was very

huge and almost a thousand people would be there. The people were standing on the two sides

leaving a way in the middle of the hall for us to walk to the throne; the same throne I saw in my vision.

Akhilan and Maayan were behind me along with Aadhira. Irrespective of the huge crowd, there was

complete silence in the hall. I was wearing a black gown. Aadhira insisted me wear that colour because

people love me in that colour. She was furious to see my bruised mark and it took me a good half an

hour to explain nothing was Akhilan's fault and for stopping her from jumping on Akhilan. The way

everyone did service to me while getting ready-made me astounded. I am totally against slavery but

they call it as devotion and did things willingly.

Akhilan was confused as well to this meeting arrangement but Maayan said that this should be done

immediately. The place had changed the instance I placed my foot on the surface of this realm. So the

truth should be let out to avoid confusion among the people living here.

Maayan asked me to be confident and I was trying to be. My wolf helped me by radiating our authority.

Row by row they fell on their knees while I walked past them. I hide my slip at the beginning as I was

startled when suddenly they knelt but managed it and walked with my chin up. Also, I could feel the

vibration of this place affecting me. I feel more powerful upon entering this Throne hall. I walked up to

the stairs to the throne and turned around to face the people still on their kneeling position and Akhilan

and Maayan were standing at the last stairs. Akhilan was looking at me and the crowd to and fro. I

found Aadhira on her knees opposite side of my mate and Maayan. I ran my eyes over the people

bowing before me and gulped. I looked at Maayan who gave me an encouraging smile.

"You may stand! I know you are thinking that I am your Goddess. It may be true. But I don't remember

anything from my past. I am so confused right now... lots of questions were bombarding my mind and I

need to find answers for them. I don't know why this was all happening to me. I may look similar to

Layla whom you all worshipped but I am not Layla. I don't possess any divine powers. I am

Kavithanjali, a werewolf now with some special powers. I don't even know whether I will get my powers

back or not. Maayan wasn't sure that he could give my powers back to me. We have planned to go

where it all happened tomorrow. And if things went right, I might come back with memories of Layla

along with the powers. I don't know what will happen if things have gone wrong. But I will do my best to

meet the trust you all have on me."

The words came out in flow as I confessed to the people who blindly believe in me. I don't have any

idea what was going to happen tomorrow. They all bowed their head. I looked at them in surprise. I am

zero now yet they respect me and accept me as I am.

"They don't mind whether you have power or not, Cupcake. You will learn their love and devotion for

you when you get your memories back. Now sit on your throne. It has been empty for a while."

Maayan suggested. I nodded my head negatively.

"I didn't do anything yet to deserve this throne. I can't accept myself to sit here yet. I don't want to argue

over this. Please understand me."

I said in a whisper. But everyone seems to have listened to my words.

I saw him nodding his head with a frown. I looked at the crowd. I could see happiness in their eyes but

their face was blank of any emotions. I nodded at them and walked down the stairs. I noticed Maayan

signalling something to Aadhira and she nodded her head for him. I frowned with jealousy because

they seem closer. I walked to Akhilan and intertwined my fingers with him ignoring Maayan's narrowed

eyes and made my way out. Akhilan's aura was radiating happiness and pride. Maayan and Aadhira

were coming behind us and they were talking in a very low voice that I couldn't figure out even with my

advanced hearing.

"Cupcake! This way. We need to discuss the plan for tomorrow."

He signalled me a room and I realised he must have been speaking about it with Aadhira as she was

in-charge of this realm. We walked inside a classical office structure.

'Why are you so silent baby? I am worried.'

I mind linked Akhilan.

'Just thinking about everything.'

He replied and smiled at me reassuringly but that smile didn't reach his eyes.

We sat on the sofa placed on the right side of the room. And Aadhira went near the wall and placed her

hand there and muttered something under her breath. A small rectangle shape of hole appeared on the

wall and a scroll came out like the cash coming out of ATM. I looked amused as this place was covered

with magic that was equal to modern-day technology. She came near us and handed it to Maayan. The

scroll was in the same language as the inscription on the door where Maayan was trapped. He

straightened the thick sheets and paused at certain lines to read.

"That was so far away from here. The name of the place is called as Qywesir. It was the smallest and

farthest planet in this solar system which humans have no clue about. That was the coldest planet,

being far away from the Sun, which made it uninhabitable. That was the place I was trapped. And that's

where we need to go. Before I was sealed inside a cave, I heard a voice telling me that I need to go

there with you to give your power back. But I don't know any other details. That voice gave me the faith

that you will come back again to me. And the long wait ended yesterday. When you said those words, I

felt myself pushed into this realm through some portal and you too teleported here the same way. This

scroll doesn't have anything other than the basic description of that planet."

He closed the scroll and tied it with the thread and looked at me.

"So we are going to face something and we don't know the severity of risk!"

I concluded for him with a sigh.

"You and I are going there tomorrow. I will make arrangements for the portal kept open for our warriors

if they are needed, Aadhira..."

Maayan started telling the plan but Akhilan interrupted him.

"What do you mean by you and Anjali? I can't stay here while she was in danger. I am coming with

you."

Akhilan expressed his decision.

"No, Akhilan. You should stay back..."

Maayan started but again interrupted by Akhilan.

"Who do you think you are to dictate orders to me? How do you think I will let my mate's life at risk?"

He shouted at Maayan.

"Will you just listen to me? You should be here. Anything may happen there. If I happen to die in the

process of saving her, you can come there to rescue her. We can't go and take the bait... I don't want

both of us to be trapped leaving her unprotected. Do you understand what I am trying to say?"

Akhilan looked wide-eyed at him and my heart was paining at the words he spat out. We didn't even

spend a day completely but he was already speaking about his death.

"No one is going to die. Aadhira will be here. We three are going to Qywesir. And we are going to

protect each other at all cost and help each other if any danger comes in our way. You are a freaking

powerful Wiz and we are werewolves. So we can face anything. I don't want to lose anyone. So

please...!"

I bit my lower lip to stop the weep trying to break out of me. Both of them rushed to my sides and

rubbed my shoulder to comfort me. I sat there silently for some time. I have faced many hurdles in my

life and I am prepared to face anything. And I am clear about one thing! I am not going to let anything

happen to these two men who love me with all their heart.

"I need some time. Shall I go for a walk outside the castle?"

I asked Aadhira and she looked shocked at my question. Uh-oh! Was there any restriction to go out?

"Goddess, You can go anywhere you want. This realm is yours. You don't need to ask permission."

I facepalmed mentally at her politeness and nodded my head at her. I stood up and looked at the two

who were now glaring at each other.

"Anybody care to join?"

I asked them in common breaking the silence. Akhilan stood up but Maayan looked at Aadhira.

"You guys carry on. I have a little work here."

Maayan took the scroll again and pretend to read it again. I looked at him for a few seconds and left

with Akhilan with a sigh. I had a feeling that Maayan was hiding something from me. I think I can ask

Aadhira about that.

The guards on our way bowed while we made our way out of the castle. When we reached near the

door after passing a huge training ground, A guard knelt before me and asked where I wanted to go

and he will take me to the place I ask in any vehicle I want. I convinced him that I just wanted to get

some fresh air. But he was persistent to not let me walk. I had to raise my tone to stop him from coming

along with us in the name of guarding us. It was funny but feel too much at the same time.

The fresh air from the trees was really easing my feeling. We walked for some distance and I found that

we are near the black lotus pond. I pulled Akhilan along with me to that direction ignoring his groan. I

admired the beauty of the darkest lotus I ever have seen and noticed there are some fishes in the

pond. I pleaded to Akhilan to sit on the stairs and I raised my gown till my knees to let my leg dip in the

pond. The feeling of fishes touching my skin was so good to enjoy in the midst of all these things

happening around me. Akhilan joined me and was also now relaxed with the feel of fishes tickling his

feet.

"I love you, Anjali."

Akhilan said out of nowhere and circled his hand around my shoulder.

"I love you too, Teddy."

I said in an enthusiastic voice and with a big smile. The endearment brought a smile on his face. He

bent and pecked my nose. I leaned on his shoulder with a sigh and he rested his cheek over my head. I

love the feel of being in his arm but a part of me was still thinking about the stupid wizard who hadn't

come with me.

We stayed there for a few minutes and I heard a loud cry from the left side of the castle. I stood up and

nodded at Akhilan. We went behind a tree and tied our dresses to our leg and shifted to our wolf form.

We ran in the direction of the cry and found a huge fire pit and Mountain that leaking volcano. But

strangely I wasn't feeling the hotness of the volcano which I should have felt. I get just a warm feel. We

shifted behind a rock and came out and looked for the source of the cry.

"Anjali! There..."

Akhilan pointed out two guards standing there where the place has stairs downwards the underground.

We went near them and they bowed at me.

"What place is this? I heard some crying noise from this direction. Can you check whether someone

was hurt?"

They looked at each other and smiled warmly at me.

"This is where one of your main duties has been done, Goddess. Souls are getting purified inside.

Usually, the noises won't get out of here. The warriors just hunted a soul that tried to escape from here.

You might have heard that, Goddess. You don't have to worry. We are doing our duties with the utmost

care."

He explained to me but on seeing my confused expression he continued.

"In human language, this place was called Hell. I think now you might have understood the reason for

the cry sound."

A guard said in a polite tone. But I was looking at him with wide eyes and beyond shocked.

"Does it mean...?"

I gulped hard and paused not wanting to finish what I started. I heard a growl from my mate but

lowered my head afraid to see his reaction. He pulled me closer to him. And I could smell his...

arousal? I looked up at his darkened eyes in surprise.

Wasn't he feel disgusted to know that I had tortured the souls in my previous birth? Was my soul dark Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

as they call?

'I can't wait to tie up the Devil in my bed and make her beg me to fulfil her needs and cry for more!'

Akhilan's voice rang in my head. I blushed instantly as my mind gave a picture to the words he said. It

was a tempting idea... Damn! This rascal! My wolf was purring and trying to get on the surface. I

controlled her as we are not alone.

I gave a nod to the guards and dragged Akhilan back to the castle. He was just smirking at my blushing

face. But my mind started reminding about the doubts in my head.

"Akhilan, I want your honest reply to this question. Don't you have any problem with my past? I wasn't a

good one in my past. I was the head of hell to torture souls and I don't know what else I have done.

What do you think about me now?"

I asked him because we never happened to talk about it. And I wanted to know what's in his mind.

"Anjali! Your past won't define you. And we can't question the creation of nature. We too hunt the

animals to feed our stomach. It's common and the way nature had created us. I don't know how God

and Goddess have come to existence. But I know you just did your duties. And I don't have any

problem if you again do things labelled as bad, after gaining your power back. Be bad but be mine.

About your past, I have no problem except that fucking wizard who was trying to steal you from me. I

understand he was your beloved and waited for you for several millennia but you are mine. I can't deny

the fact he cares about you more than his life. But it pains to know that your love is not completely for

me."

He spoke in a convincing tone but his voice filled with hatred and jealousy when he mentioned about

Maayan. I could feel his unconditional love for me. It was overwhelming me. I hugged him tightly and

buried my face in his chest. He held me closer to him with a contented sigh. I can feel how much he

was hurt and insecure and I am happy that he could open up them to me. I need to find a way to solve

this problem before it gets beyond my control.

We roamed around the purple trees speaking sweet nothings. Our stomach started growling after some

time. We don't find any source of animals in the small forest around the castle. So we decided to go to

the castle back to get something to eat. When we came in, we are met with complete silence as if

nothing was functioning inside. I inquired the same to a guard but he wasn't giving any useful answer. I

could feel the strangeness in the air even though I just came here yesterday.

The place near the dining room didn't have any kind of noise usually I hear when I cross this place. I

asked my wolf to come to the surface and pulled the knob of the door. I was startled first when the red

heart balloons hit my face and the room emptied eventually after the balloons floated away through the

door. I was smiling big on seeing so many balloons. Akhilan was next to me and reflecting my smile

with adoration in his eyes.

I walked in and find Aadhira and some senior warriors there. Purple roses started showering on me and

I looked up to find it was Maayan's magic. He appeared in the air gracefully and knelt before me. He

was wearing a dark purple robe with a loose white pant. With a snap of his finger, a bouquet of purple

and black flowers appeared in his hand and he gave me with a smirk. I got the flowers from him and

looked at him questioningly why he was doing these all of sudden. Uh... Welcoming party?

He pulled a white stick from his dress and I realised it was his wand. He rotated it with a chant and the

place darkened. I used my wolf vision and found him moving his wand in darkness. The sound of buzz

followed by fireflies started coming into the room out of nowhere and it started assembling into words. I

gasped when the formation completed and the result was totally unexpected– Happy birthday,

Cupcake!
