A Mysterious She-wolf

Kavi's POV

"Logan?"

His deep brown eyes and diamond jawline resembled the face cut of my Uncle and Grandpa. Moon! How did I miss this important thing on that night?

Is that means Akhilan belongs to this pack too?

Oh Moon God! Why are you testing my will power? What am I going to do now?

I was engulfed in a bear hug and I looked at him. I awkwardly patted his shoulder and pulled away. "Oh, my Moon! Do you remember me? How did you find I am Logan?"

"You have our family eyes and face cut!"

I stated and he grinned big.

We both startled by a loud horrified voice and found Dhaya shutting Alpha's office and muttering curses under his breath. I burst into laughter as unfortunately he just had witnessed his parent's mating. Dhaya's head snapped at my direction and looked at me in confusion.

"You are not the first person to see that horrific scene.”

His cheeks flushed as he looked away. The door to Alpha's office opened and the Alpha couple came out adjusting their dresses. But they both had the heavy scent of arousal and their dishevelled hair and hickeys showed their rough play. Sezhiyan had a smug look and smirking at his mate but poor Luna looking down in shy.

"For the moon sake, please keep that in your room, dad. Or at least lock the door. We don't want to display live porn to all the passer-by wolves."

Dhaya spoke annoyance dripping in his words. Before they could reply I interjected with

"Yeah. I agree with him."

Now Sezhiyan eyes widened on knowing they put a spectacular for two children. He nervously scratched the back of his hair and smiled sheepishly and scooped his flushed mate in bridal style and flew from the crime scene. Even though they are just in their mid-thirties, it was awkward to see their intimacy as they are most likely parent figures. I called my uncle over the phone to come and give me the order letter to the school.

I got the letter and made my way to school. I went to the office and gave the letter to the receptionist who gave me a welcoming smile. She typed something into her computer and asked me to go to the library and told me the direction. She called someone to inform about my arrival. I was greeted by an old man whom I assume to my Pack history and wars professor.

"Welcome, dear. I'm Govind. I will be teaching you Pack laws, pack wars and history as pack law teacher was on a vacation. I knew you would have known about our origin. But it's the tradition to start the lesson with the Origin of our kind in the gratitude towards the Mighty Moon God. I heard that you are the one created the "Moon Pup’ application. The animation of our origin story was so good. I have seen my daughter showing it to her son, dear. So for a change, I am going to listen and you have to narrate the story. Is that okay with you?"

Wow! That man could speak. And it would be boring to listen. And there is no one here. Why can't I narrate as every wolf love our origin story?

"Thank you, sir. I guess I am okay with narrating the story. Shall I start?"

He grinned big and nodded his head.

"I start the story with great gratitude to the Moon God for being the reason for the rise of the beautiful blessed creatures in the name of werewolves. About seven thousand years back, the world was in peace. The Moon and Sun were doing their jobs of guiding the planets. But the darkest creature in human history was unleashed from the bottom of the universe by the evil traitors who followed 'him’. 'He’ was released and "he wanted to kill the Moon God to start “his’ revenge over them as Moon and Sun were the reason for “his’ suffering all these millienum. Eventually, 'he’ planned to kill Sun God after gaining the power from the Moon God. So “he’ could make every living creature 'his' slaves to feed his power hunger. 'He' was said to be born from the friction from the creation of our Solar system. And 'he' has the power to destroy any planets but nature had restricted "his' power to keep balance among the planets by creating Several moons to get rid of the darkness in the night as the darkness was “his’ power. The Moon God was the in-charge for those moons among the planets. Being the central source of the solar system, Sun God has more power than Moon God.

'He' created the chaos among the realm of the Moon and trapped Moon God at the verge of death by the betrayal from within. The Moon God was bound in dark magic and he got beaten very bad to gain any energy to break the dark magic. 'He' planned to bargain with Sun God to surrender everything to spare Moon God, which would make the darkness consume the solar system. But before that could happen Moon God used his divine powers to escape from there and took refuge among humans on earth who were living as a small village. The uniqueness among the village was they were befriended with the pack of the wolves from the nearby forest who help each other in hunting their food. The humans thought Moon as a fellow human and helped him to get healed. The Moon God used his remaining power to build a shield to hide his aura and rested in the Village for a few weeks. The Moon God often connected with Sun God through meditation to know about the situation with him.

The wolves were very much attracted to the new-comer as they recognised his aura and also oddly Moon's favourite creature was the wolf. The strange behaviour of the wolves made the villagers to suspect the Moon God. Also whenever he does meditation, they have seen the white bubble shield around him. With him regaining his strength, the colour of the bubble thickened. The Moon God revealed himself to the villagers to get rid of their fear and suspicion as he trusted humans. But a word gets away without the villager's knowledge through a casual talk and soon he’ sends "his" army to capture the Moon God again without knowing Moon God got his strength back and he gained more power by connecting with nature.

The army struck the village out of nowhere when Moon God was connecting with Sun God through meditation. He was oblivious of the surrounding and the human fought the evil creatures to protect the Moon God. And their positive energy and their will power to protect the divinity made them more powerful as they defeated the clan of him with the help of wolves who voluntarily fought along with humans. This created a special bond between humans and wolves.

The Moon God was very impressed by finding the villager's dedication and loyalty for him. The village went into the festive mode and at the grand dinner, they all happily had their food without knowing it was poisoned directly by *him* who disguised as a human. When the humans started falling one by one, 'he’ attacked Moon God. The war between the two magnificent forces echoed to the depth of hell to the end of the sky. The Sun God stepped in and captured him’ to sustain the balance between nature to avoid the annihilation of the solar system.

But Moon God was so furious to kill him" as he killed the innocent humans who were the reason for Moon's resurgence. The Sun God sent “him’ back to the bottom of the universe and made powerful spells to seal him there. He felt guilty about seeing the wolves howling at their lost friends. The Sun God granted him permission to bring back the souls of the humans back but the poison consumed by humans didn't allow their souls to get back into their body. Now the souls have to live in the world till their period end without a medium. But to their surprise, the wolves called their friend soul which got absorbed into their body as they willingly let the souls share their body. The Moon God sealed them together and granted shifting abilities. Hence the origin of werewolves. To cope up with the twin soul inside a body, he granted heightened senses and bigger size for strength. Their pure heart for sacrificing their own self made them communicate with each other through telepathy as they were so close and connected and the magic got sealed with the werewolves. Moon God promised to protect this new species as the token of gratitude. And to ensure love and harmony, he blessed them with soulmates who was directly paired by the Moon God.

On the later period, the wolves felt comfortable in Human form and we started living as humans and mingled with humans without revealing ourselves. And still, in some part of the earth, there are werewolves who prefer to live in their wolf form. And the form which we live most of the time chooses the characteristic if the person, that is, it would show how much animalistic the person would be."

"Wow! You narrated so well, my dear. I might use your assistance in future to tell our story to the pups.”

He looked at me with admiration. Wow! From the look on his face, I could tell that I already made an impression which is obviously good.

"Sir, do you think he will come back? Because recently I have heard that *he’ was waiting for the right time come to finish one of *his’ unfinished businesses. Does that mean our Moon God might be in danger again? And why no one knows “his’ name?"

I asked him with much curiosity as I didn't happen to ask anyone about this doubt. And I am so curious about him’ for an unknown reason.

"Where did you hear that dear? It was said that our Moon God made everyone to forget his name also from our history for some reasons. I too heard about the unfinished matter is something about 'his' beloved."

He said while scratching his white beard. I looked at him wide-eyed in shock.

"How could 'he" have beloved when "he' was so evil. Who could love such a person? How could someone love *him'? And was actually “he’ capable of love?"

I asked astonished but I got answered with a chuckle and a shrug. I breathed out a sigh and asked him to proceed with the class. For the next five hours, he taught me the history of our pack which had both the history of my Grandpa's pack and Sezhiyan's pack and the earlier wars happened between the packs.

I returned to the empty home and made my way to my room to arrange my things. The dresses were already placed on wardrobe and the boxes named as “personal’ were kept untouched. I started unpacking my personal things. I set my table with my laptop and stuff. I found a small empty room across my room and I unpacked and arrange my dumbells and punching bags there. I wish I stay at the pack house with everyone.

Moon! What am I thinking? I don't need any more distraction. I need to wake up an hour early than usual to do my practice at woods without anyone's knowledge. I have a mission in my hand. I shouldn't allow myself to distract myself with anything or anyone... even my mate! But I need to find a secret place for me to so. I knew I could find someplace on the mountain but I can't go there because it will make me remember about him. So I need to roam around this evening to get familiar with the surroundings. My mate face flashed before me. I touched my moonstone pendant and sighed. Where might have my mate gone? I highly believe he belongs to this pack but I didn't see him in the welcoming ceremony. Where was he? I can't ask about him to anyone.

I heard the sound of the doorbell. I walked downstairs and smelled Logan's orange scent. I opened the door and found him waiting impatiently.

"Why you took so long? I am so hungry already. Come on. Let's go!"

He pulled my hand towards out.

"Hey, Logan. Wait, where are you dragging me?"

I stopped him and crossed my hand over across the breast and questioned him.

"Umm... Didn't Anu aunt tell you about family dinner?”

I sighed as I knew she forgot to inform me.

"She might have forgotten. Please wait for two minutes. I am completely covered in dust. Let me take a quick shower.”

I didn't wait for his answer as I knew his wide-eyed reaction would get me 'no’ as the reply and I sprinted to my room and used my wolf speed to fetch a blue jean and a white t-shirt and rushed to the bathroom. I quickly washed away the dirt. I finished my shower and threw my dresses after quicky drying myself. I verified my lenses and pendant in its place and made my way down. I found Logan in the kitchen eating an apple. He threw the crust in the bin when he found me descending. Werewolf appetite!

I locked the door with my set of keys and walked along with him. He asked me about school life and New-tech park works. I replied to him in few words sentence and he went silent after a few minutes. "You have changed drastically.”

He stated. Even though he is six months younger to me, we weren't so close as he used to play with another set of pups while I stayed with Sezhiyan and Dhaya at the pack house.

“l know."

I don't know what else to tell the one who has seen me in my bubbly childhood.

"You can always trust me and I will always be there to help my sister. Okay? Because that's what family do.”

He gave me a full smile and I nodded but didn't reply. Can I ask his help to seek the monster? No! I don't know the severity of risk in my way. I can't involve him in this.

When we reached his home, I was greeted with the heavenly smell of roasted chicken and Ghee rice. I smiled at the loud growl from my stomach and walked inside. I found Inba aunt and my mom setting table. Wow! It was very rare to see my mom before midnight. I greeted them and found Aryan uncle in his office. I walked inside and offered him my assistance which he agreed happily as he asked me to feed a few details in a spreadsheet. Logan huffed at us and went out. We finished our work and he thanked me for my help and appreciated my speed on the computer. My wolf howled inside in the pride of getting appreciation from her beta uncle.

I choose to sit far away from my mother to avoid upsetting her. The dinner served and elders engaged in their conversation. Logan sat next to me and helped me with my plate. I thanked him and the conversation soon diverted to our studies. Logan wanted to do Architecture as he wanted to upgrade the houses in pack land. And he bragged about his High marks in last exams and how sure he would get the state rank in the final exams. I was happy about his interest in studies as not many male wolves will concentrate on studies. I was interested in the computer but never said that aloud. Even though I mastered in programming and hardware arranging, there was a lot to learn new. And I don't have any interest to go to college. I want to train more and I have a great mystery to solve and close. When Aryan uncle asked me about my higher studies. I took a minute to think. "She was average in her studies. So probably she will only get a seat in some arts and science college.”

My mom answered in boring tone and I glanced up to see her glare. She sighed and looked at her brother

"I have provided her with everything. But what can I do? Getting intelligent and strong child is a blessing. I didn't get one.”

I choked on my food as I never expected her to state her hatred so expressively over the family dinner.

The outsider thinking bad about wou't affect as much as your loved one thinking low about you; because you care about them and it would pain to the maximum extent. My last thread of hope for her love lost its strength and my wolf started shaking inside me. She had enough of her mother's hatred and disrespect. I closed my eyes and instantly diverted my thought towards how much pain she would have endured but it didn't help. So I imagined my mate holding us and looking at us with love. It calmed her instantly. I opened my eyes when Logan shook me. There was complete silence but my mom continued her food as if she didn't drop big dynamite over my head. I placed the spoon next to the plate and stood up.

"Excuse me, guys. Thank you for the dinner. I have to go."

I ignored the protest of Inba aunt and walked out.

Logan followed me but I asked him to leave me alone. I walked aimlessly but ended up at the mountain top where I found love and peace once. He came to give me that love and peace. But I knew he would never come back to console me. And the worst thing was I am the reason for his death. I wish you were here, Teddy. If you were here, my life would have been totally different. I hate you for leaving me all alone in this cruel world. My mind took me to the time when we met first.
