A Mysterious She-wolf

Kavi's POV

"You could have answered him more politely, baby."

My mom told while mixing coffee for us. I hugged her from the side and buried my face to her neck. She was going to council today to see her mate with Luna Shrini. She turned around and gave me a cup and looked at my face.

"That's right. I wasn't thinking straight yesterday. I will apologise to him when I see him, mom."

I said to her and sipped the hot coffee with a sigh of relief.

My wolf was still angry on me for refusing to our mate's proposal. Today Logan and Surya were returning back here with their mates. Tonight there is a welcoming ceremony for inviting them to the pack. After college, I finished some of my web works and walked to pack house to help with arranging the welcoming ceremony.

Logan lifted me up and shouted excitedly while spinning around. I laughed and looked at his mate, Madhu pouting. I patted his shoulder and signalled towards Madhu. His eyes filled with so much love in an instance and went to his mate and started kissing her. I turned around and looked at Surya smiling at me with his mate on his lap. I waved my hand at them and hugged both of them. There was a change in their scent too. Wow! I winked at Surya. He blushed and looked away. I patted his head and went inside to go to the backyard.

I wonder how Pooja has taken everything happened yesterday. I wanted to ask someone but hesitation pulling me back. Logan shouted at me to get him some cold water before going anywhere. I went to the kitchen and found someone near the fridge. The ever-annoying scent is not annoying me anymore; I just pity her.

She straightened up with a tub of ice cream and she looked like someone had run a bus over her. Unlike the polished china which she usually looks like, her dishevelled hair and running mascara and swollen eyes showed me what she is going through. On noticing me. She put the tub on the counter with a thud and rushed towards me. Her eyes held fury and I knew what was coming. If I didn't try to hide from my mate, this female wouldn't have been experiencing this heartbreak. But I thought they were happy together and that's one of the main reasons I stopped myself from exposing my mate bond.

A couple of hard punch was delivered to my right jaw. I stood still and looked at her.

"You whore! What have you done to him? I was his friend from the day I joined this pack. But he threw me like trash just for you. I like him so much. But he didn't even come to see me after cancelling our engagement. What did I do wrong? Is it wrong to marry someone I like?"

Her fury turned into a cry. I knew she lost her parents at a young age and Sezhiyan offered her a life here.

"I'm sorry. I don't know about his feeling. But you shouldn't have forced him to be in a relationship. We can't get love by force. I don't know what else to say. Wait for your mate. You will get the life destined by Moon."

I tried to console her. But she kneed my stomach and rushed out of the room with her ice-cream tub. It doesn't pain much. But I had to suppress the urge of dominance rushing through my blood. she has to choose how she wants to be.

I looked towards the backyard door and found Akhilan leaning there with hands folded across his chest. His hair was a mess and eyes had dark circles. He noticed me looking at him and stood straight.

"Sorry, you might not even want to be in the same place as me. I will leave. But I should take your advice and wait for my mate. I can't get love by force. But love can grow in anyone's heart without any reason. If we are humans, who knows! You might even have considered our relationship. But... Leave it... Sorry."

He said in heavy tone and turned around.

"Wait. Akhilan, I don't mind you being here. And I am really sorry for speaking like that yesterday without thinking of the consequences. I am sorry for causing problems in your family."

I said in a sincere tone to make him understand that I was really regretting what I did. He came and leaned on the counter opposite to me.

"You don't need to apologise. It's all my fault. If only I controlled my wolf, actually I didn't want to control him. I want to tell the truth to my parents but other factors stopped me. But at last, I did more damage to my parents. I should have politely explained everything. Or at least I should have accepted their arrangement. Now I couldn't face Pooja and my mother. Everyone would have been happy if I didn't stop it yesterday stupidly."

He said with a bitter tone. His sadness was making me sad.

"Yes, if you haven't stopped the engagement yesterday, everyone would be happy. But not you! You will have to live with her to make your parents happy. But we can't act all our life, Akhilan. When one day the mask falls, everyone would get more pain than yesterday. It's good you stopped something that you didn't like. It's a big help to your friend Pooja. She was really in love with you. Without love, you can't fulfil her life. And happiness won't be there in your marriage life when your heart was bound with another. So don't blame yourself and try to relax. Moon God will lead you."

I said in a light tone to cheer him up. It hurts me to see him like this.

"Kavi! Logan asked you..."

Then I was stubborn enough to not disclose the truth even after the failure of my life mission. My wolf loves him from the second we met him. I was connected to her and obviously, my heart warms up on his mere presence but I had too many insecurities to let him in. I cleared my throat and looked at him. He looked at me. His eyes look so exhausted. Yet he was so handsome. What would be his reaction if I say I am his mate?
