A Mysterious She-wolf

Kavi's POV

I woke up alone on the bed. It was still unbelievable to think that my mate and my Teddy are the same. But I'm so happy to know the truth finally. I can’t thank Moon God enough for pairing us together. I am so happy and I could feel how much I love him. My wolf was happy too, but she was restless about something.

I got ready to visit the council and surprised to see my mate waiting for me to join me on the trip. I smiled widely and pecked his cheek. Ashwin had stepped up as my Beta and he was currently in charge of the pack. And the interesting fact is, tomorrow is my birthday and I was waiting for tonight to know what happens in my dream because I already stepped up to the top of that place in my last dream. And I was wondering what that dream-man was going to do now. I cursed myself for thinking so curious about him. He is one of the main reasons for my normal life getting affected. But I can't deny the warm feel my heart sending to me while thinking about him. It was like a part of me was fascinated by him.

I shook my head and looked at the direction of my handsome mate. He was silently driving and deep in his thoughts. His aura was blank of emotions making me confuse and he had blocked the bond so I couldn't even know what he was thinking about.

"What are you thinking, baby?"

I asked him undoing my seat belt and leaning on him.

"Nothing."

He didn't even turn my side and I could feel his aura remaining blank. Something was totally different with him. He was just looking straight at the road hiding his eyes behind his glasses. I fastened my seat belt again and looked away with a sigh.

When we reached the council, it was late evening and the council members weren't happy to see me as always. Everyone was in some serious mood. The council was utterly silent as if no one else other than us were here.

What was happening here?

I bowed slightly before the council members and except Rio's nod, no one moved. It was strange because usually Rio was the one who gives me a cold shoulder and it was not the other way around. I was surprised to see Sezhiyan inside the hallway. I smiled at him but he looked away with a sigh. His aura was... sad and worried?

Instead of the office room or courtroom, Yamuna and Rio were leading us to the hall where I initially took the blood oath.

"Why everyone was acting weird?"

I asked aloud no one in particular.

"You will know in a few minutes."

Yamuna answered in a whisper.

I shrugged off the unwanted feel swirling inside my stomach and followed them. The sky was dark without Moon being new moon day and the torches were sparing the warmth and light. I like the way the Council still following ancestral ways. The hall was now filled with warriors standing in a row at both sides. Zarina and Vasigaran were standing at the opposite side and there was a pentacle with candles at each corner. But this was inverted pentacle. I think there are going to perform some ritual.

Poorna and Manohar joined us and an old lady was there looking at me calculatively.

"I knew you were confused about what was happening here. We all love you very much but you need to understand what we are going to do is not only for the benefits of our species but for this earth.”

I looked puzzled at Manohar for his ambiguity.

"What is he trying to tell me? Tell me what's happening here?"

I asked my mate but he was looking straight and didn't even look at my side. Before I could walk up to him, I felt a sting around my bare hand and hip as a thick rope was thrown over me in a knot trapping me from moving. I looked shocked at Zarina and Vasigaran. They were using their magic to trap me. I looked at my mate who was standing frozen in his place.

"What the hell is this?"

My voice came out calm and composed. I didn't panic but just confused.

"Your mate is under a spell. He won't do anything other than what we say. Now we want you to go inside the pentacle without any protest.”

Zarina told in a warning tone. I stared at her for a second but this is not the time to argue. I stepped in the magical inverted pentacle and I know I was trapped here for now.

"All the people whom I trusted in life were here. And I believe you won't do any harm to me. But care to explain what was going on here? And I couldn't accept you trapping an Alpha like this and casting a spell on my mate, the future Alpha of Blood warriors pack.”

I said to no one in particular. That old lady laughed aloud

"I didn’t think this would be so easy to get her into this circle. But we need to find a way before tonight. So bring that now.”

She commanded someone behind her. The man brought a jar of some powder. She opened it and started casting some spell on it and it started to glow.

"Tell us everything you know. Tell me about your dream where you would meet a man mysteriously on your birthday nights. What you have seen and what he said to you?"

I sighed but realized they have found something about him.

"Already I told everything I knew. What else do you want to know about him?"

She smiled and stepped near the pentacle and blew that glowing powder to my direction. The second that touched my skin, it started burning my skin and it was giving a lot of pain. I heard another hiss as my mate too felt it. Sezhiyan was near him. As I guessed he knew something but the council must have stopped him from telling us.

"Tell us the truth. Don't act like you don't know him. By this time you would have realized who he was."

She blew again and my neck and hand were like someone was burning it with fire.

"Bitch! Stop this or else it won't take me a second to drain your energy. I told you everything I knew."

I yelled at her as the pain was making my wolf raging. But I could feel something in me was making my anger increase.

"Ha-ha! You can't do anything. How did you find this carving has the three Gods of this solar system which was not noticed by anyone all these years? Only someone closely related to those God would able to find that."

Three gods! What the hell! When did I discover something like that? Wait! Carvings! As in the carving behind her! I could feel a good amount of energy leaving my body in waves through the burnt skin and I wasn't healing.

Wait! Didn't I see the same symbol in the dream of the eighteenth birthday? What does that mean? Was he close to here? But who is he?

"l know about the Sun God and Moon God. Who is the third one?"

She seems taken aback for a moment. But she smirked and murmured something. My body started aching as I fell on my knees. My wolf was weak as well and she wants to rip this bitch's head off her body.

"Who do you think I am? Oh, I didn't tell you! I am Nina, the most powerful witch alive on this earth. And I had a vision of you helping the God of darkness to escape from his trap. And my visions never failed. 1 will not allow you to do such a thing and make this earth go into darkness again. The realm of darkness should remain headless always. It's a shame that you are a traitor of your species to join hands with the one who is a complete enemy of your Moon god."

A weak growl ripped through me. How dare this bitch say something about my loyalty! But no one was voicing my thought and my mate seem to have fainted. The bond was still alive. It was enraging my wolf as she was worried about him. But my mind was worrying about a different thing.

Is he really the God of darkness?

Even if he is, why am I going to help him? I have deep faith in Moon God. This can't be true.

"What do you want from me? Can you tell me what you have seen in your vision?"

I asked her clearing my throat. That powder was draining my energy quickly and this pentacle having an invisible wall was restricting me within the circle.

"Why should I tell you? So you could easily go to him?"

She looked at me venomously. All I wanted to do was to punch her. I didn't even see his face. And here she was telling that I was going to release that man.

"Look! I understand what you are telling but I couldn't understand what you are trying to tell. I won't betray the trust of my pack and mate. And if he is really an enemy of Moon, how can I help him. Moon watches our every move. He would take my soul away before I help him.”

I tried to reason with her. But she started shouting at me like she didn't hear what I have told her. "Stop your acting. Tell me now what's your plan? I will never let you step out of this circle. I am a guardian appointed by Moon God to keep the darkness away. And my ancestors have done the job and I will do the same. Today is the new moon day and also your birthday night. You will dream of him. Then you will go to his place to release him. I know that's what going to happen. So don't waste my time. Else I will kill you so he would be trapped forever."

On seeing my silence, she started shaking in rage. Zarina tried to control her but she raised the jar and threw the content in my direction. I tried to block them but it was no use. I controlled myself from yelling at the agony. I knew my half of the side was now like dipped in acid and the pain was unbearable. I could feel black dots forming in my vision and I was blacked out in seconds.

I woke in darkness and I felt like I was sitting on someone's lap. Déja vu! I quickly sat up and found myself healed and healthy. My wolf was also feeling good.

"You are more powerful than you realize, Cupcake. We don't have much time. I am so eager to meet you in real, Cupcake. Now go!"

Before I could comprehend what was happening to me, I woke up coughing and I heard the shouting of Nina yelling that it was impossible for me to heal and so and so.

I blinked my eyes and sat up. I could see the glowing bubble around me. Was he helping me? I looked around and found people trying to break the bubble with their magic and powers. They are even trying with a weapon. I don't feel any pain in my body. I remember the dream-man healing me and also his words. On seeing me awake, that bitch Nina went to drag my mate who was awake now and made him stand before me.

She gave him a silver dagger and whispered something into his ear. His eyes were blank white. And he must have been instructed to wear glasses to hide that. I was too stupid to not realize that earlier. I know what was coming, I stood up in my wolf speed and rushed to him and the bubble around me absorbed him inside and his blank white eyes returned back to his vibrant grey the second he entered the bubble. I sighed and fell on my knee. My wolf was enraged and sad that we are the reason that our mate might have died because that bitch hates me. I realized that I have stepped out of that pentacle too.

Everyone in the room was looking at me astonished. Nina ordered the warriors to catch me. I looked up and I could literally feel my eyes glowing purple. It made the bubble glow in purple and the warriors surrounding me started falling down one by one. The energy was that was absorbed was equally distributed through the bubble and it got thicker. My energy was charging and I felt my mate pulling me up.

"What's happening here?"

He asked confused. I kissed his lips and my mind rewinds everything happened and sending them through the link to him even though we aren't mated in real. As they think, I am something different that's how I could do this

We broke away from the hug when we heard a sound of thunder inside the hall. An old man with pale white skin appeared from that thunder. His eyes were honey coloured and he looked so fit and strong with white hair and big beard and moustache. I could feel the wolf in me bowing for him and Akhilan fell on his knees. Everyone knelt for him except me. His aura had divinity. Moon God! He looked at my direction and his vision searched for someone and stopped at Nina

"You are useful for nothing. What I said and what you have done? Go away if you want to live?"

He spatted at her. She bowed her head in shame and teleported and vanished into thin air instantly. He walked up to me and paused and with his clap of fingers the purple bubble around me vanished into thin air. I still stood my ground as my heart was letting out the exact opposite feel of what I originally thought I have for him.

Complete hatred!

"It's not good to disrespect the person who created you, child! Kneel like everyone! They have troubled you. But you are nothing before me. I was in a good mood and that's why you are still standing in front of me.”

His order doesn't seem to affect me.

His face! It was like I have seen him before a long time and the hatred I feel for him wasn't accumulated in a few years. I don't know how I have repeated his name for everything when I hate him this much. I have really seen him before. Where! When?

I remembered that dream man's words. He said I was stronger than I realize.

Am I stronger than this pale old man?

What am I thinking?

Where did I see him before?

Think, Kavi. Think!

Suddenly I felt the air around me sending chills to my spine.

'Yes, cupcake! You are stronger than this pale old man!"

His voice entered my ears with his light chuckle while mentioning him as a pale old man.

I eyed the man with glory standing in front of me trying to intimidate me. I don't know how I feel familiar with this man but the hatred I am feeling for him was too strong. I could feel something was enraging inside me. My wolf was cowering with respect and fear for him but I am not. As always my human part was much more in control over my wolf and I was standing on my ground. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I don't know why but I smirked at him. I smirked at the damn Moon God! "You still have that same bratty attitude. How would it go when your beloved was giving you blind hopes by whispering into your ears? Let's see whether he could stop me while I separate your wolf from you."

He spoke in a venomous voice not having any connection with his divine aura.

Wait. What! That dream-man whom they claim as God of darkness is my “beloved’?

Oh, the council might have found the truth and they got terrified that I would release my lover. But I don't even remember his face or name. I do believe in reincarnation stuff as myself 1 am a supernatural creature who lives among witches, wizards and vampires. But did they judged it correctly? I already have my mate whom I love with all my heart.

He raised his hand and like a vacuum cleaner, I felt my wolf was getting sucked. It feels like someone was slicing a part of my soul.

'Use teleportation, cupcake. You know where to go! Hurry up!’

His voice rang through me as I requested my wolf to do so. She was holding on to me tightly and I felt our eyes glowing purple with an outer ring of silver. I quickly held my mates hand because I knew leaving him here alone wasn't a wise idea. The last thing I remember was I was being sucked into the darkness.
