A Mysterious She-wolf

Dear cupcakes,

This chapter has a huge time-lapse.

Comment me if you have any confusions!

Kavi's POV

Do you have any guess where we are?

A salon! The same one Logan got an appointment to dye my hair colour in fluorescence green!

But the fact is, Logan was crying on looking at the outcome. His hair was now in fluorescent PINK. I decide to get some blue streak for a change.

Last week has been hectic! As I expected I scored good marks and got the state rank #2. The Were's education department from Supernaturals council called me for an explanation because my school records shown average marks. So they wanted to check whether my marks were real or I had done some cheating. Initially, I was called there for general inquiry but there was one nutcase who gave a set of questions from the random subject and asked me to write the answers. But it helped me to prove my knowledge as I could manage to get 97%. They sent me home after congratulating my mark and agreed to pay for my college fee in top college in human world. I was surprised when that nutcase smiled at me genuinely and wished me good luck for my future.

My mom was very happy and hugged me to congratulate me and even apologised for judging my abilities. I knew her brother had a great influence on this change for which I am very grateful for him. Sezhiyan decided to throw a party for my success but I passed it by staying at home. But my lil cousin decided to give company to me. So we watched the Iron-man movie series all night.

I could watch Tony all day and his attitude is cherry on top!

The wounds from the rogue attack healed without a trace in two days. I removed the cast as everyone knew I could heal quickly from the first-day fight. I didn't speak to my mom after that incident, I only went to inject her when she wakes up from the nightmare. My training with Mithun was progressing well.

I have decided to join in the college along with Logan. He was going to take architecture and I have decided to do some easy course which would help me concentrate on my other tasks in hand but I need a little value addition too. So I choose a bachelor degree in hons(Computer science). There will always something new to learn. The council paid the fees for me. I wanted to move away from my mom's shelter but her health was which holding me back. I can't leave her to suffer and I am not using her money anymore. I started doing some online ads designing for social media and it was paying me more than I expected.

Today was the first day of my college. It's been three months since we changed to Green ocean pack. The people from our neighbour pack, Blood warriors pack and our pack will go to this human college as it was situated in between the two territory borders. We have our set of rules to conceal our identity.

Logan joined the same college but he has his classes were in the opposite campus. Dhaya was in final year and he was doing a bachelor degree in business administration. He accompanied me to the office room to get the schedule. He left after an "all the best" as I insisted on finding the route myself and also not wanting to go with the Alpha on the first day. I will not easily let go my opportunity of speaking with humans. I envy humans for living without their soul bounding them to a person. They would go as per their heart wants unlike us who have lots of restrictions.

Even though Dhaya clearly told me the route, I asked a human girl about the direction which she helped with a smile. I smiled genuinely and thanked her and walked according to her directions. While 1 was looking at the room numbers, I bumped into someone. Thankfully I am not carrying anything in hand but his note went flying in the air. But he skillfully caught the note in one hand and gave me an apologetical smile reflecting mine. He has brown eyes and was well built for a human. We exchanged our apologies and went inside the same room.

The class was mixed in 80% of humans and 20% of weres. At lunch break, Logan came to our campus to eat his food with us. I brought my homemade food as I hate standing in queues and I am very impatient type. Weres knew to eat less in front of humans, So Dhaya and Logan bought the regular meal and we shared our experiences so far.

When I was on my way back to the classroom, I found some wolves teasing the human I bumped into earlier this morning. The human was in good shape but he can't stand up to many wolves. I felt a wave of dominance engulfing me as I made my way to those wolves. They don't seem to be the members of our pack. So they might be from Blood warriors pack. Their pack was famous for ruthless battle strategies. I can't involve myself getting in trouble with neighbour pack. Already I was hanging at a thin thread with lots of my stupid activities.

"Hey what are you doing here? Come! Let's go to class”

I casually asked the brown-eyed human hoping he would understand my inner meaning. But he was at the verge of getting into a fight. So I eyed the teen gang with a warning nod and pulled his hand. He was surprised at my touch and walked at the direction I pulled him.

"Uh! Not so soon sweetheart! He should know his place before glaring at me.”

The dominant voice called me. My blood boiled like never before as a wave of dominance I already felt from within me increased to several folds and I turned back and glared at them. My wolf was standing tall and she was trying to take control over me. They might have sensed my power as every wolf were looking at their feet, bowing their head except one who had called me. But he was looking at me in utter confusion.

"LEAVE!"

I gritted out.

"llamaran, Let us go. Something is wrong.”

A boy told the one stopped me.

The human touched my shoulder and I shook out of my trance and looked at them in confusion. The others peaked glances at me but I didn't say anything but went to the way towards the class.

"I am Surya. Why did you do that? Did you think they could hit me? Never! I won three consecutive championships in kickboxing and I would have put them in their place in a jiffy if you hadn't interrupted”

He said cockily. Only if he knew what they are capable of, he would be running far away from this town. I rolled my eyes and remained silent. When our classroom came in sight, he spoke again as I didn't utter a word.

"Hey, At least tell your name, Beautiful.”

I sighed and halted in my steps.

"I am Kavithanjali. Shall we go to class now? I don't want to be late. *

He smiled in reply and bowed dramatically to signal me to lead the way.

'Wow, you made a new friend on the first day! But I don't like him.’

My wolf spoke to me.

“Oh! Miss Queen, I don't need your opinion on making friends’

She growled in reply.

'Do you mind telling me what happened back there?"

'I don't like them disrespecting me for some unknown reason. That's why I made you radiate our Alpha power.

She replied and went silent.

Days rolled into months. Our first year in college got completed. Dhaya finished his degree and was taking most of his time helping his father. I maintained certain limits from others to protect my secrets and was successful so far.

Surya had become a good friend. But I stopped him without telling anything about my personal as it was not allowed to befriend a human. In the last two months, he asked me for three dates but I denied politely. But he wasn't leaving me. I took a short vacation to spend my time with the wolves in the northern region of the country to let my wolf have her time. I came across lots of questions from Sezhiyan and Mithra but told them that I was going to attend a human's computer training program in a secluded area. They bought it and allowed me to go. When I came back, I had lots of anger issues with being wolf all time which had triggered my beast side. I got Alpha's permission to let me out on Saturday evening and he allowed me after sensing my pained aura and persistent bickerings.

On my eighteenth birthday, I had the same dream. But this time I felt him telling that he was waiting for me. I don't even know whether it was he or she all this time. But I felt the masculine aura from him this time. That place felt so realistic. Also, this time before I could wake up from the dream, I saw a strange set of symbols of sun and crescent moon and a snake behind the clouds. I woke up with a strange feeling but couldn't place it. So I let it go and concentrated on my life.

Akhilan, being unsuccessful in finding his mate, had joined the werewolf special training program. It was a hard training program which was attended by top rank pack members. Being the son of the head warrior, he was allowed to train there. He was returning back today. I am so nervous about his arrival. I need to be extra careful. The moonstone pendant will help to keep me masked but just a touch is all required for him to recognise me.

I locked myself in my room much to my wolf's dismay as she was purring at the thought of our mate. I too want to see him. Even though my mind was determined to not let any distractions till the completion of my mission, my soul has already recognised him as my mate. I knew tomorrow I need to face him at the training ground. I prayed Moon god to not make me face him any soon. But I can't change destiny.

I decided to go early to the training grounds to ease my nerves. I couldn't sleep a bit last night. I saw Mithun already at the training ground. His face was bright with happiness. I gulped the air blocking my throat. People started making their way to the ground and picked a random partner to fight. Mukilan asked me to fight to bring me out of my dream world. I walked with him to some distance and went inside an empty circle. But my mind was fully fazed with excitement to see him, fear to see his reaction on knowing who I am, the killer of his brother, and nervousness to not let him recognize me. He started to strike me and I let my wolf instinct to take over a bit to help me dodge his attacks. After a minute he paused and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"You look distracted. What happened?”

He asked with concern. He was a great friend of mine and I just sighed in reply.

"Couldn't get sleep last night. Now show what you got under your sleeve Mr Third in command! You know I won't go easy on you."

I smirked at him with a wink.

He smiled and get back to his fighting stance. I focused my mind and fought with him. But all of sudden, I froze as I smelled him before I saw him. A hard punch to my rib pushed the air out of the lungs and I fell on my knees. Mukilan rushed to my side to check me. But my heart was racing faster at the sight of him just in his track pants. The tattoo on his left hand running across his chest and he was beautifully displaying his six packs. He was a little more muscular and manly than the last time I saw him. He was just looking mouth watering and my wolf just want to pin him to the ground and claim what was hers.

Then he looked at my direction. His eyes locked with mine. My breath hitched on looking how handsome he is. And he is my soul mate. My man to love and cherish. My everything. My wolf purred and scratched inside me to let her claim him. A big smile crept on his face and he made his way towards me. That smile made my heart race faster. He was so perfect but I have many flaws. I shooed Mukilan as he was freaking out on my silence. I noticed Akhilan frowning on seeing me close to Mukilan. God! I can't let him close to me. I should run. But before I could get a chance. He came up to me without breaking eye-contact. He gave Mukilan a bro hug and they shared their greetings.

I looked at Mukilan to rescue me from here. But that dumb head thought I was confused on seeing the stranger and he started introducing us.

"Hey Akhilan, This is Kavi, Pack doctor's daughter and Kavi, this is Akhilan, Our Mithun's son.”

Hin

I muttered not to appear like an idiot.

He just looked at me for a minute thinking something. I controlled my urge to touch him and focused on the woods behind him to not ogle him. I looked at his calculating eyes and wondered why he hasn't said anything. My wolf was howling inside me as he was just a few feet away from me. He took a step forward but stopped when a big squeal came from the pack house direction. And in a matter of seconds, he was tackled to the ground with she-wolf on top of him. My wolf wanted to rip that she-wolf into two for touching him.

"AKHILAN"

The voice made my expression turn bitter. Pooja! That bitch!

"Sorry honey, I had to go to the neighbouring pack yesterday. It's been a while. Why did you take so long to come back to me?"

She scolded him as if she was his mate. She was still straddling his torso and what making my blood boil was he was just laying there with a smile. Mukilan cleared his throat at them. She stood up with an oops and gave me lazy smirk. I regret leaving this she-wolf to live. I should have killed her on day-one. But now she had the audacity to touch what is mine.

I was controlling so hard as my wolf was so sensitive and the bond was making me suffer on seeing his hand over other she-wolf's shoulder. He finally noticed me and my face was blank like an empty paper.

"Kavi..."

He said my name but that bitch started tracing her filthy paw on my mate's tattoo. I have to cover the first growl escaped my lips in years with a cough. My wolf hates to see him with another female. I hummed in response and looked at Mukilan asking him to continue the training.

"Don’t you remember who she is? She is the reason for your brother's..."

Mithun came out of nowhere and ordered Pooja to stop. My eyes widened at her words and memories flooded my mind. He was the other pup who fought for me. I never had a chance to thank him. Now I knew he would never accept me as his mate. I can't look at his face. How did I forget this and how stupid I am to think about claiming him? I ignored my wolf's sad howl. I let out a sigh and turned around. I peaked a glance at Akhilan one last time and found him with pursed lips and having a distanced look. I moved back to my circle and let out my anger on that poor Mukilan. After my training, Aryan uncle told me that there was a little dinner arrangement tonight to welcome Akhilan back to pack and he wanted me to come as he was expecting some announcements.

Logan picked me up in his car to the college and the classes were the same as always. After college, I called Logan many times, but he wasn't picking up. I politely decline Surya's offer to drop me at home. I started walking toward the woods. It was just 20 miles and I could burn some energy. Spending time in woods would never be boring. Mingling with nature would always leave me in peace.

"Hey Wolfie! Wait!"

My knees froze on hearing his voice. What the hell was Akhilan doing here?

"Hey sorry! We couldn't talk properly in the morning. How are you? Why are you walking alone in the woods?"

He finished them in a breath and waited for me to reply.

My mind was racing with lots of thoughts. Why was he talking to me? Wasn't he disgusted to see me? He didn't say anything this morning. So why was he trying to speak with me now? Did he sense something? But I still do have the moonstone pendant.

I looked up at his waiting face. His aura showing happiness. Maybe his wolf was pushing him because of the bond. I can't let him get close to me. It would ruin everything.

"Listen. It doesn't matter to me who you are. Don't interfere unnecessarily in my business. What I am doing is none of your concern. Just leave me alone.”

I spoke harshly and he looked shocked at my outburst. Who wouldn't be? He might think of me as an arrogant bitchy she-wolf. Let him think. It was good if he keeps his distance.

I walked my way without even turning back. But I could feel his sad aura and his boring stare on my head. I went to my home and freshened up and made my way to pack house. The preparations going on for dinner. I offered my help to Luna Mithra in preparing the place.

I am wondering what was the announcement that my uncle Aryan mentioned earlier this morning could be.
