A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 9

Kavi's POV

"Where were you last night?"

Alpha Sezhiyan's voice boomed across the room.

I kept my calm composure and maintained my aura at the same pace but slightly showing regret. I

knew this would come as Logan was future beta and he could not keep secrets to his Alpha.

"I went outside the territory. I just like to spend some nights alone outside the pack. Sorry for stepping

outside the territory without your permission, Alpha."

I knew my apology would reduce his anger. I knew it's about the safety of pack and Alphas were so

protective of their packs.

"I knew Logan helped you to get back. How did you go out unnoticed? It shows how inefficient my

border patrols were. I demand you to answer me honestly."

His wolf ordered me. My wolf was getting annoyed as she feels he was expressing his dominance but I

knew he was doing exactly what he has to do.

"The trees near the mountain was so close to each other. I crossed the territory there as it was easy to

walk on the thick branches from one tree to other and I used wind direction to walk to avoid noises."

I told him the truth. His look was so sharp and his eyes returned back to normal.

"We have a set of rules, Kavi. You can't just break them. Run ten rounds across the territory without

any break and meet me here. Mukilan was waiting outside the door and he will run with you."

He ordered and mindlinked Mukilan. I nodded.

"Alpha, she can't..."

Logan started but I cut him off.

"I can. I am not human. My wolf is not surfacing but I have wolf blood. Keep that in your mind."

I spoke with fake annoyance to Logan. He nodded grimly.

With a nod to both, I walked out.

"What did you do to get this punishment?"

Mukilan asked.

"For a werewolf, ten rounds across the pack territory is nothing! Doesn't it?"

I counter questioned him. He nodded slowly and we made our way to the pack territory.

I finished the rounds and the worst part was I had to act like I was panting at the last round. When I

entered the pack house, I saw Pooja with a happy smirk.

Word gets out so fast!

But I actually felt so good with that exercise. I ignored her and went inside to meet Alpha Sezhiyan.

Mukilan asked me to meet him later as he was in the middle of some important discussion with patrols

team.

I walked to the back door as it would be short to go through the woods to reach my home. I noticed

Dhaya and Logan standing there. I walked to them to give a good punch to my little cousin.

"He is showing soft blue. I think that means he is calm. And she is showing deep purple. She is sad...."

Dhaya was pointing at people and telling Logan what he was seeing. I couldn't help but laugh as Dhaya

was two years elder to me yet he didn't learn which colour means what. They two looked at me weirdly.

"Dhaya, don't get so worked up. Don't use your logical human side to guess. It's our wolf power. Let

your wolf guide you. He would tell you accurately what their aura means."

He looked at me wide-eyed. I realised my mistake but I knew better to keep my aura calm. He opened

his mouth to speak. But Alpha Sezhiyan's voice boomed across the place.

"Kavi, Dhaya and Logan come to my office now"

I turned back and walked back confidently. There was complete silence. Aryan uncle was looking at me

keenly just like Sezhiyan.

"How do you know about auras?"

Sezhiyan asked with a tired look.

"I have read it in a book from the library in my previous pack. It said that Alpha wolves would have the

exclusive power to see the aura of people and it also had the meaning of every colour. It was

fascinating. So I read them. And when I heard Dhaya telling about colours and his guessings for its

meaning, I thought it was about auras and shared him my book knowledge, Alpha."

I lied fluently.

What's wrong with me? I am acting stupidly and risking my secrets. I should keep my mouth shut. This

is why I hate socialising. Letting anyone inside my mental walls would lead me to the place like this. I

should keep my distance away from everyone.

He nodded his head but I could sense his suspicion clearly. Way to ruin a great relationship, Kavi! He

would never trust you completely anymore. I heard him sighing.

"I trust you, Kavi. You can tell me anything. I am... I am just trying to help you. You are like a daugh..."

"Please don't complete that, Alpha. You are a great man that I love from since I could remember. I don't

want you to keep you in the place of someone whom I hate the most. And I knew you had some

information about that incident. Even if you didn't earlier, I knew you have found something now. Please

tell me who it is?"

I gritted out cutting him off. He shook his head and sighed. Aryan uncle stiffened at the mention of 'that

incident'.

"I don't know where did you get that idea from, but we don't have any clues about it."

Alpha's aura was composed and slightly showing tiredness. But I felt Aryan uncle's aura was showing

brownish red. He was fuming in rage. So he too knew. I felt exhausted and showed it in my aura.

Sezhiyan might have noticed it as he asked me to go home. I made my way back thinking about how to

get the truth out of them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Things were going fine and it's been a month since we got here. I got results of the test conducted from

Professor Govind. I almost answered everything right and my 95% progress was sent to Alpha.

Sezhiyan got so happy to know about it. I heard Akhilan went to find his mate in the other packs within

our state from his mother, Rakshna's conversation. As he was already twenty-five, his mother was very

excited to meet his son's mate. I could literally visualise her sour expression when she finds the truth.

And once I happened to listen to my uncle's advise to my mother to be kind to me and how she should

behave and she was just silent the whole time he spoke and left telling she was tired. They spoke in a

low voice downstairs but I could listen to it easily with my advanced hearing. Her nightmares continued

but other than that I didn't come in her way as I now clearly knew how much my presence annoys her.

I completed the database app and started working on my next project. Kalai will send me the details

over courier which couldn't be sent through the mail. Yesterday, I received my payment for the last

project. I would often help with Aryan uncle in data entry as he hates paperwork with passion but his

position tends to bring more paperwork for him. And the results for my school final exams were due in a

week. Logan and I were waiting so eagerly for our results and we bet the one who scores lower mark

has to change their hair colour as per the one who scored higher's wish. He actually fixed an

appointment at the five stars rated human salon to dye my hair fluorescent green. But I knew he was

the one who is going to use that for judging me with my school marks.

I was so bored. So I made my way to the pack house. I felt my wolf stirring inside me when I was about

to enter the pack house, I realised the reason for my wolf's behaviour. One of the wolves shouted that

rogues were found at the north border. Luna started helping Elders and children to make their way to

the safe room. I quickly hid outside and started running to the direction where the warriors were

heading now masking myself behind trees.

I hid behind the trees and noticed what was happening there. A rogue was talking to Sezhiyan. There

were almost thirty to forty wolves at the open clearing and I could tell there are more hiding behind and

the leader was hiding with them. I let my wolf smell any sort of energy of the hidden wolves. Meantime I

eavesdropped on their conversation.

"I can't let eighty criminals stay in my land. You should go now if you have any intention to live

anymore."

I heard Sezhiyan's booming voice. So these rogues want a place to hide. My wolf told me that she was

curious about something and I let her lead me. She took over my human form and she sniffed the place

and headed to the east where the rotten meat smell was. I was already far away from pack territory and

this was free lands. I opened my mind link and found the rogues started attacking. I sensed my wolf

wanting me to participate, as well as we found a few tents. No children or women were seen. There

was a waterfall next to their camp which might have washed their scent away from the patrols. I heard

our pack members were killing them but they were tough to fight with their good fighting skills.

I need to find the leader and kill him. That's the only way to stop this. I saw another ten wolves running

in the direction of my pack. I noticed a tent which seems bigger and new. On my way to the tent, I

smelled death and found a small old tent. I looked into it and horrified at the sight of human female

dead bodies. These bastards must have used them to quench their lust. But human can't take beyond

a certain level. My vision started showing red. They deserve to die. I let the Moon guide me and

sneaked there. There were five rogues inside the tent, planning for their next move. I decided to try my

new found power and I started absorbing their energy. They started to notice it but before they could

open their mouth, I quickened the process but it left me with lightheaded. I walked inside and slashed

their throat with my claws.

I was about to exit the tent when I found a big brown wolf entering the tent. It has lots of fur missing. I

instantly recognised he is the one! He growled on seeing his dead minions. He shifted into his human

form and stood fuming in anger.

"You did this, aren't you bitch? You are gonna pay. Then you know what we are going to do? We will

enter your pack and kill every male stupid wolf. Bitches are for breeding and I will torture the children to

make the women obey for our orders. The most wonderful idea right? Go to hell and watch what I said

happening from there in your pack."

I was about to give him a reply but the tent was ripped open and I found four dust-coloured wolves

surrounding me. Their red eyes only increased my desire to kill. I shifted into my wolf without a second

thought.

Action time!

I ripped a wolf's throat and jumped on the second one and clawed his heart out. The other two jumped

on my back and started biting into my flesh. I shook my fur but their grip was too tight. I bite one's tail

near me and yipped it away with force pulling its spine out. The other one now aimed for my throat but I

simply withdrew its energy to heal my wounds and slashed his throat open and let him bleed to death.

I searched for that brown wolf which has its death wish as it jumped on me from behind biting a good

amount of flesh from my shoulder. Another set of four wolves came my way. I need to finish this soon. I

swiftly jumped and scratched number one and clawed number two in the stomach. While I was about to

jump for number three, the brown wolf again bit my left foreleg and he wanted to tear my limb. I

reflexively bit his ear and pulled his head away.

I ignored the deep scratching from number three on my back and started biting the brown wolf. He let

out a big howl calling for help. I slapped the number three to the tree as it was getting annoyingly

disturbance. The brown wolf tried to limp its way away but I jumped on its back and rolled it to ground

pinning him down. Without letting him speak, I bit his neck and pulled his throat out. The other wolves

started running all the way. They didn't know what to do next. The five in the tent must be the next in

the hierarchy for ordering and now these rogues are like headless dogs. I started walking back to pack

territory and ripped the throats of anyone who got in my way. I shifted to human form and used one

shirt from a tree hole. I saw our warriors fighting with last ten wolves. I sneaked just like the way I came

there behind the trees but stopped to give some energy that I have gained from all the rogues and

helped their wolf to quicken the healing.

I quickly went to the back yard of my home and used the tap to wash the blood off me and mixed the

water with soil. I used my wolf speed to get into my room and quickly showered and brushed my teeth

to get rid of any remaining evidence of my little party with those rogues. I wrapped my back with

bandage as some of my flesh was missing but it will be back to normal within tomorrow. And I was

having few scratches near my neck and face which would heal in an hour or two. The bite at my left

hand was so deep and it will take time till tomorrow. I picked the masking spray and used it till the

woods to clear the remaining evidence that could lead to my home and burnt the shirt I picked up.

After an hour I got a call from Aryan uncle to check my whereabouts. My home was near the southern

border so I acted like I was at home all the time oblivious of the attack. I asked about the damage and

how everyone was. I avoided meeting him till tomorrow as my wounds would make them suspicious. I

let my left hand heal by giving not many movements to the tissue. The tingling feeling in my back tells

that cells are regenerating. I walked down to the hall and decided to watch television for some time. I

took my gun in hand just in case and also I can't keep them in my back.

The front door literally burst open and I reflexively jumped up and pointed my gun towards the door

suppressing the yelp from the sudden move. I sighed and put the gun on the table. I maintained a

concerned aura and looked at the man standing in the middle of the room.

"How are you, Sezhiyan? Aryan uncle called me and told about the attack."

I used his name to calm him in my way.

"I'm fine, Kavi. But what the hell happened to you? Why there are scratches on your face and what

happened to your left hand?"

He asked me and came near me to examine the scratches in my face.

"It's so embarrassing. I am getting so clumsy..."

I paused dramatically and masked my aura accordingly.

"I was descending the stairs to refill my juice but slipped a stair and fell all the way down and the glass

broke and a piece pierced my arm."

He looked unsure but nodded anyway.

"Be careful. But I wanted to ask you something. Our warriors found a spot to the northeast of our

territory near the waterfall. They found a few dead wolves and the dead body of human females. And

Mukilan is the best tracker in our pack and he caught the faint smell of cocoa and he highly suspects

that it was close to your scent. Do you have anything to do with that?"

I stared at him curiously then shocked. I smiled and made a sad face.

"I wish I could do something like that. But I was oblivious to the attack and I don't know whether I could

stand to kill few wolves without my wolf. I was training myself to be strong but do you think I am strong

enough to kill those wolves?"

I told him and noticed his eyes glazed. I quickly started planning what I should tell when he brought the Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

encounter with Pooja but his eyes turned back to normal and he smiled at me after his short mindlink.

"My girl is stronger than she thinks. But they examined the body and found claw marks and canine

marks. So..."

I smirked internally but the little suspicion in his eyes didn't go unnoticed.

"Take care dear. You can skip tomorrow's training. I will come and see you tomorrow. I have a lot to do

now."

He kissed my forehead and patted my head before making his way out. He stopped at the door and

said that he would send someone to fix that broken door.

I sat down and let out a sigh of relief. I don't know how long this drama is gonna prolong!
