A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 20

Kavi's POV

I was sitting outside the courtroom. I feel it was too much to inquire me in a court but Manohar laughed

that he couldn't bend the rules and regulation. We could rather talk over a nice dinner. I knew I am

thinking too much. But haven't someone said that idle mind is devil's workshop.

'Will you stop thinking nonsense'

My wolf scolded me. I mentally stuck my tongue out at her and waited in the empty hallway.

The council was located in free lands between Crimson moon and Mountain shadows, unlike the

education department where we have an office near each Pack. I decided to go on the road and

obtained permission from Crimson moon to cross their territory and rode my bike overnight. I followed

the direction given to me and reached the office before an hour scheduled for my inquiry. I was given a

room in the guests building and I quickly got ready for the inquiry. Now my stomach was growling but I

have just ten minutes to be called inside.

Unlike humans, the council members pray to nature and destiny. We werewolves worship Moon

because he created us. The council members were living in harmony as an example for everyone

despite their differences in lifestyle. And they are the main reason for peace in the world irrespective of

being hidden from humans. They regulate us.

My heartbeat raised when a warrior came out and asked me to come inside. I walked into a big

courtroom. The left side to the door sat the mighty six. The name board was placed before each person

and a chair was placed before the table for me. I walked inside and halted in my step on seeing Zarina

there. Her eyes fell on the moonstone pendant that I am wearing and she smiled at me in recognition.

After all, we are meeting after six years. I have changed but she looked the same. Now I understand,

why a witch worried so much about mate bond! I slightly bowed before them and Manohar told me to sit

down. I take in a deep breath with my sudden determination to face whatever comes my way.

"So you are Kavithanjali, Right?"

The vampire whose name was Rio asked me. He was trying to intimidate me. But his mean look was

making me hard to not laugh at his face.

"Yes, Mr.Rio."

I replied curtly.

"Hello dear! Manohar said that you are blessed with special powers. So what are the powers you

possess?"

A lady next to Manohar named, Poorna(she-wolf) asked me.

"I could heal people. My healing is quicker than normal werewolves and before a year I get to know

that I could absorb someone's energy and with my healing power I could transfer it to another person. I

am an Alpha's first heir. Usually Alpha's will see the aura of people but I could sense the aura of

someone without seeing them. I could feel their aura. Also, I could use this healing power to sense if

someone was around me by sensing their aura. It wasn't fully developed though. But I could sense

within a certain distance as of now."

I replied to them in a respectful and calm tone.

"Fascinating! Isn't it?"

The wizard, Vasigaran, who was next to Zarina told with a creepy look. I waited for them to ask me the

next question. They asked how I found my powers and why I didn't say it to anyone before. I explained

the same thing I confessed with my family including the mate thing.

"Why are you doing this, Kavi? Mates are blessings! You should not ignore the blessing. It was a

disrespect to Moon God."

Manohar voiced out his upset.

"Yes! I knew Manohar. But my mate should respect me the same. He has decided to marry another. I

respect his decision. Maybe he would reject me with his commitment. And it will cause more conflicts.

So I hope you would respect my personal decision."

I said to avoid further discussions over my mate. There were whispers between them.

"Okay. We won't interfere in your personal life. But we do care about everyone in this supernatural

world. So we suggest you reveal yourself at least to your mate privately. Because he deserves to know

who Moon God has destined him to be with. And we want you to take a blood oath to use your powers

only for good and not for any bad causes. We knew what you did to Blood Warriors' Alpha. Though it

has happened in a fair fight, we need assurance from you. And we might call you if we need your

assistance with your special powers. And any new abilities should be reported to any of us immediately

and we would have a short meeting about it. Also, you are a great techie. We are too upgrading our

systems. So we would let you know if we want you on some projects. And you should make your

decision to be the Alpha of Blood warriors soon. Because Vijayan can't step up while the three children

of their Alpha was alive. If you want to meet your father, you can meet him after the inquiry. Do you

want to say something?"

The female vampire, Yamuna explained everything.

"I agree with all the things you said except for one thing. Please don't call that man my father. He is my

mom's mate and the person whom I hate the most."

I said with a bitter face. They all nodded and everyone's eyes softened except Rio. He looked at me

calculatively like Professor Snape looking at Harry Potter.

"One more thing? Aren't you going to punish me for hiding my powers from my pack?"

I asked mustering up my courage not wanting to attend a separate inquiry for it.

"Ah! How did we forget that? Yeah! You are going to drop me at my home and you can go back home

after that. And that's your punishment. This inquiry ends here."

Poorna said with a smile. I smiled back in confusion and nodded. I looked at Manohar who was smiling

at me. He signalled me to go out and I bowed before saying a common 'Thank you' and left the

courtroom.

"Is she kidding or do I really need to do that?"

I asked Manohar as soon I found him coming out.

"Ha! Whatever said in the courtroom is not for fun, my dear. But basically, Alpha decides on thing

happen within the pack. Your Alpha has to make decisions on that and I think he already did it. Now

let's complete the formalities and go home."

I froze on hearing her voice behind me and smiled at her sheepishly.

I was asked to take a dip in the pond inside the council building. I did and went with my wet clothes into

the hall situated nearby. I felt a strange vibration on entering the place. At the other end of the hall,

Manohar and Poorna were waiting for me but what captivated me most was the wall carvings behind

them. It looks so ancient with an uneven surface like a rock had been moved inside the hall. But I could

figure a few things. It has all five elements of the earth which were engraved in the wall in the basic

setting of the forest but there seem some three faces like form with a circle behind them. Above their

head, one has a crescent moon, another has a sun-like symbol and other has a snake emerging from

behind the cloud like the symbol. It was like those people were hidden within the scenario of nature

sculpted over them.

I walked over there trying to find if I could find anything more interesting. But the three outlines of the

faces was increasing my curiosity. When I walked near them, Poorna extended me a dagger. I took it

on my left hand and cut my right palm.

"I take the blood oath on Moon God that I will always use my blessings only for the benefits of others

and I will not misuse my powers."

I said and pressed my bloody palm to some canvas like-thing kept over a table which was coated with

some sort of chemical to preserve my imprint.

I handed over the dagger back and smiled at them. I looked behind them and I could still see the three

outlines. And I am getting curious about the meaning of this engravement.

"What does that carving means?"

I asked them.

"This place has a historical touch, Kavi. These carvings were done by our ancestors. We are

preserving it for a very long time. They have carved it almost seven thousand years back and this was

big cave back then. After that, only this wall survived and the council was maintaining this place for the

past four thousand years. We have renovated and rebuilt this hall several times without damaging this

rock. This is a holy place and only a few people had come here. To take oath in front of this carving,

would represent you are promising in front of our ancestors. We believe this blood oath becomes

unbreakable and powerful as you had promised in front of the people who were origin for our

bloodline." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Manohar explained to me.

"Wow! It was a really very historical treasure. Great thing! The council was protecting and maintaining

this. I understand them describing five elements of nature. But what are the three outlines represents?

Like the face with a circle behind it? I don't know whether it was some optical illusion but see there

were symbols too above their head.

They both seemed curious. I walked near the wall and pointed my fingers over them. For some

unknown reasons, I didn't want to touch the wall. They just stared at the carvings like they were looking

at it for the first time. My concentration diverted to my bag as I heard my mobile ringing. I found my

mom calling me. I looked at them and told them that I am leaving to the guest building and left while

narrating everything to my mom. It was good to feel someone's care for me. I changed my drenched

clothes and got into comfortable clothes and went to the canteen area. I bought a big meal and enjoyed

the heavenly food. I have to leave now. But I want to see the council members before I leave. Just to

say bye though.

I rested for a few minutes after my big meal and dressed up to leave. I walked to the main building and

texted Manohar that I want to meet him. He asked me to come to the courtroom. I went and found the

place was still the same except there was no chair before them. I awkwardly went near them and said

that I came here to say bye before leaving. I received a bye back except Rio who was looking so

annoyed. That blood-sucking man is annoying my wolf. Damn! I shouldn't say something like that. I

giggled to myself and left to drive my way home and dropped Poorna on my way as she asked.

The drive will take almost twelve hours. After passing half-way, I got hungry and decided to go for a

hunt as I was in the middle of the woods. I changed into my silver white wolf and roamed around to find

an apt meal. When I found a matured fleshy rabbit, I hide behind a bush and watched its movements.

My wolf came to the surface as she always loved to hunt. When I was about to launch on it as it came

closer to me, a bow flew our way. I yipped and jumped in surprise as the bow pierced the rabbit and

scrapped my foreleg on its way. I saw a woman in my mother's age eyeing me cautiously. I looked up

at her and she doesn't have a scent. She is not human. I showed her my eyes shining with silver

circles. She raised her hands in surrender and looked at me cautiously.

"I know you are a werewolf. If you want that rabbit, you can take it. But let me help you. I am sorry for

hurting you. I didn't notice you were behind the bushes."

She apologised and looked sad. I tilted my head and I could feel she was telling truth. I shifted behind a

tree and pulled an oversized shirt that I tied to my leg just in case of an emergency. I was already

healed as it was a little cut.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

I asked that lady.

"I am Jasmine, a witch. I was hunting here for my family. Who are you? I knew there was no pack

around a few miles radius."

She asked me suspiciously. She looks tiny but I could tell she was a powerful witch because she had

masked herself totally; not only the scent but also I couldn't read or sense her aura.

"I am Kavi from Green ocean pack. I was just passing here and I was hungry. You can take this rabbit. I

will search for something else."

I said her reassuringly. She smiled at me and came near me to check the wound. I showed her my

healed wound and asked her to not worry.

"If you don't mind, you can join us. I was living in a house and my son would like to have some

company."

I noticed a hint of a sad tone in her voice. I was never a person to go to a stranger's place but the

continuous drive through the bumpy road made me a little tired. I offered her to drop her in my bike as

the night was approaching quickly. She agreed and my wolf sensed no danger with her. So I went with

her.

Her house was very much in need of renovation. I cautiously parked my bike and took my bag and

followed her. She paused before a few steps and whispered some chanting. I saw a wave of protection

getting down and she let me in and repeated to make the protection wall come up again. I looked in

awe at the golden layer of protection turning into thin air. I was always fond of magic from my younger

age. I walked inside with her and shocked to see a tiny lean figure coughing heavily in the bed. The boy

smells like a human.

"What happened to him?"

I asked with a deep breath as I now knew the reason for her sadness. She gave me a sad smile and

had a distanced look at her eyes.

"He was born for me and a human male. He was very healthy till the age of three but one day when we

went for a vacation, an accident happened. I hit on my head and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I

was in the hospital and my love was gone. My son's legs bones were crushed and his immune system

affected so much. He has many internal injuries. He was in trauma after the accident and he was

counting his days now. I tried many potions but it was of no use. I can't give him powerful potions as it

might be too much for his body. And the diluted potions weren't working as it should be. His body

wasn't accepting the potions I am giving him. I sell potions as herbal tonics to humans for my living and

to get human medicines which were now keeping him alive. He needs an operation to walk again but

he is not in the condition for operation. When I left my home for the man I loved, my coven found it

forbidden and denied to accept me back. Also, they wanted to kill us. That's why I am hiding here."

She was in tears and I don't know how to console her. Could I heal him?

"Please don't cry. Umm... If you don't mind shall I try to help him? My wolf could heal people."

She quickly straightened up and fell on her knees in front of me. I was startled and took a few steps

back. She was begging on the floor to help his son! Oh moon!

I walked to his bed and dug his hand out of the heavy blankets. I connected with his heart and felt his

body and asked my wolf to assist me. She took over and ran her palms over his legs while holding his

palm in her other hand. I felt her giving him energy first and then she was scanning him like an x-ray

machine. We noticed many bones were displaced. I trust my wolf but the boy is human; so I asked her

to be extra careful.

"I want you to trust me. His bones were dislocated. I gave him some energy. Can you give him some

potion like anaesthesia because it's going to be painful."

The lady ran into a room and after a few glass breaking sound, she came out rushing to us and fed him

a cup of some blue coloured drink. He instantly drifted off to sleep. I knew what was coming and gulped

inside my head.

My wolf took his left legs and like a doll, she broke his leg into half ignoring the shrieking noise from his

mother. She did the same in a few inches down and rolled the broken piece into its place without

damaging any of his nerves. Then she does some massaging like the thing to make the muscles sit

back and healed the muscles. The bones joined with each other like a glued doll. I felt the energy

flowing from me and the bone healed without any mark of crack.

My wolf carefully placed his leg back and we healed his next leg which has several dislocations in his

feet and thigh. His liver and kidney were in bad condition and we helped him regenerate new cells. As

he was a human I could help him with my minimal amount of energy. He was younger than Iniyan and it

was making me feel so contented to help him. I knew he has almost born anew. He could now live a

normal life. After doing an overall check, my wolf gave me control back. I mentally patted her head with

a remark of 'great job' and I felt her smirking at me. What else can I expect from a part of me? The boy

has already gained some colour to his pale self.

"He was now completely alright. After the effect of your potion wore off, give his muscles some

physiotherapy before letting him up. I filled him with energy. He will be active. Give him healthy foods.

Take care of him. And I think you should consider moving back to a town to give him a normal life. A

town near Blood warriors pack doesn't have any herbal shops. Why can't you go there and try to sell

your potions as herbal tonics there? You might need money for his future. I can help you set up a shop

there."

She hugged me and cried. My eyes welled up as well as it was new to help some stranger and

experiencing their gratitude.

"Thank you so much, Kavi. I lost my hope that my son would be ever normal. But God didn't let me

down. He sent you here to help my son. I will give everything I have to you. Please ask me something. I

will do anything for you. Please, I can't live with this big loan with me. I tried every way but failed. You

healed him within minutes. How can I repay you?"

Strangely, I felt my wolf pushing past me and I let her. She looked at me cautiously and looked at us

expectantly.

"Remember, I didn't help you expecting something in return. But if you really want to help us... I need a

favour from you. I want you to break my mate bond"
