A Mysterious She-wolf
Chapter 16

Kavi's POV

I was helping Luna in cooking. All of sudden the pack house had turned into panic mode and I noticed Luna was getting a message from mind link who was now weeping at the kitchen floor. I heard the loudest growl from Alpha's office. Mukilan was there who was also fuming in rage. "What happened, Mukilan?"

I asked nervously.

"Dhayalan was attacked by Blood warriors and they have injected silver in his system.”

My eyes widened as it was a sign of war. And I was so worried about Dhaya’s state.

"Is he..."

I couldn't finish the sentence as the wave of pain blocked my throat.

"He has a very faint heartbeat. He would be here within a few seconds. Your mother was ordered to come here as well. Be with Luna and tell her he would be okay."

Mukilan advised me.

I can't!

I have important work than that. Fuck my cause! My friend and the future Alpha’s life is much more important than anything. I didn't say it aloud but nodded my head and waited for the warriors to return with Dhaya. Aryan Uncle came in his wolf form carrying Dhaya on his back and howled to get him inside. His dress was fully soaked in blood. Rakshana instantly took Luna to another room telling some lie. I followed them and I connected with his heartbeat which was very low and the pain in his body was making my head dizzy. I noticed Sezhiyan shouting orders to get my mother immediately here. I hopped on the bed and held his hand. I called Alpha as Dhaya was having more silver than I expected. I could feel them in my nerves.

"Alpha, I need your help. I could heal him. But I need to take some of our pack member's energy to purify his system first. Then his healing would kick in and I could speed up healing.”

His wolf was in surface and he looked at me like I have grown horns. My mom came in and gasped and rushed to the other side to check his pulse. It was getting low. My wolf was getting anxious. My mom gave Sezhiyan a sorry look.

"SEZHIYAN! His heartbeat was reducing quicker than I expected. No! No! No! Sorry, Sezhiyan. Will explain to you everything later.”

I ran out of patience and absorbed in Sezhiyan's energy as he was too stunned to do anything. Everyone started getting panic when he fainted.

"Don’t worry! He has just fainted. He would wake up within an hour or so. Now ask some warriors to come in quickly."

My wolf ordered them and she started to concentrate on purifying his system while healing the critical wounds with the energy I gained from Alpha Sezhiyan. His heartbeat started to rise to my relief. My mother fainted on seeing me healing him. I sucked some of her energy too. Luna came in and started crying but sat at the place where my mom was at first and held his hand in a light grip. My eyes welled up on seeing her love for him. I quickly absorbed almost ten of the healthy warriors and asked Aryan uncle to let them rest and asked to send some nurses. I asked them to clean his dried blood off his body and they gasped on seeing his skin colour returning back alive. No one speaks anything to me. I knew I had lots of explanations to do. I never left Dhaya's hand. Physical touch has more effective for healing. And my wolf concentrated on absorbing the silver from his system.

I saw Mukilan at doorsteps and asked him to call Manohar from my phone and to inform everything. By attacking the future Alpha, the Blood Warriors’ Alpha has risked his whole pack's future. It is a big breach. We have all right to request the council for removal of the Alpha and if the crime has been proved the person would be sentenced to life. But if it was started as a challenge, only the deed of inflicting silver would be the crime. Yet I could tell they have done it in the idea of killing him, but his Alpha blood and his will power kept him alive. We don't know what exactly happened there yet. Mukilan told that Manohar was in the nearby distance and he had promised to pay a visit.

I slightly stroked Dhaya's hair. There were many cuts on his body yet he was laying like he was in deep sleep. I realised I am getting dizzy as his Alpha blood need more of my energy to purify him and it is getting hard for me to keep myself awake. I can't drain all of the pack members. Already there was a threat of war. And in the urgency to save Dhaya, I absorbed Alpha's energy. So without Alpha, we would at least need other top-ranking wolves to defend ourself. Also, Sezhiyan had mentioned that blood warriors were hard trained ruthless killers.

My stomach growled when I smelled food. To my surprise, I saw Surya and Akhilan bringing the food inside the room. Surya brought my favourite Egg crepe with garlic chutney with pineapple juice. Akhilan had brought a heavenly smelling soup and from the look, I could tell he made it healthy. And he brought orange juice with him. They were fighting with their eyes challenging each other silently.

"Surya. I can't leave Dhaya's hand. Can you please feed me?"

He smiled and pulled a chair to sit. Akhilan had a defeated look and turned around to leave.

"I thought that soup was also for me!"

I stated in a whisper. Akhilan turned with a big grin and came near me.

"Surya will help me to eat. Would you give that to him? Thanks, both of you. It was very thoughtful of you two to feed me something. I really need some energy."

They nodded with a smile and Akhilan left with a jealous look. My wolf loved the way he was possessive over us. When I finished eating, I felt his system completely pure.

His healing quickened and I helped him to heal with my power I saved from the warriors. I sensed a strong aura and found Manohar coming inside the room. He looked at him surprised as there was photo evidence for how badly Dhaya had been injured. And now all his wounds were closed and he may wake up any second. I was still connected to him but I am currently concentrating on gaining back my energy just in case if anything happens. Also, his wolf was helping to heal him nicely. I never healed someone this critical and I never helped someone to heal fully. As of now, he is alright with his calm heartbeat. Manohar patted my shoulder and went out. Soon Sezhiyan rushed inside and looked at his son with a relieved sigh. Luna instantly launched herself on him and a fresh set of tears came from her. They visibly relaxed with the presence of each other.

"Thank you very much, Kavi. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if you hadn't helped our son.”

She hugged me and wept silently. Alpha has a look of gratitude but his posture was enraged and I knew the reason.

"I asked Mukilan to inform about the incident to Manohar. I think he is still here, Sezhiyan. Consult with him before doing anything.”

He gave me a nod and kissed his mate before leaving the room.

Luna sat beside me and waited for her son to wake up. Thankfully, Tamizh was in her aunt's home which was in my old (Mountain Shadows) pack. She would be coming anytime now. Good thing, she didn't happen to see her brother in that state.

After two hours, Dhaya opened his eyes. I left his hand and stood up to examine him. He looked at me in confusion and sat up and looked at himself. He smiled at me and his mom while shaking his head. His bloodied clothes were now changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants.

"I think I had a weird dream.”

He spoke out distantly.

"Of what?"

Luna asked him slowly.

"I dreamt of dying! But it felt so real."

Luna hugged him in a tight embrace and started shaking again. She has a strong will power. But when it comes to the loved one, it always turns out to be a weakness for everyone. Dhaya was startled at first but then he looked at me as if he realised something.

"So it really happened? But how did I..."

He looked down at himself again.

"Kavi healed you."

Luna answered his question. He looked up at me with wide eyes. I guiltily nodded. Sorry, Dhaya. But I have more secrets!

"Thank you, gorgeous. But I couldn't fulfil your wish."

He said with his smile but his eyes held the pain. Why?

"What happened there?"

Manohar's voice boomed across the room. Dhaya slightly bowed his head at him and smiled at his father who instantly hugged him. Alpha patted his pups head and let him explain what happened there.

"I went to Blood warriors to speak about the renewal of the peace treaty. Their Beta Vijayan welcomed me and lead me to the Alpha Krishnan's room. But I found him hitting his second son with a belt. I knew his second son haven't shifted yet. And the pack was treating him differently.

It seems he had accepted some food offered by his mother out of hunger. I couldn't understand why he was so cruel to punish a seven-year-old that harsh for accepting food from his own mother. And Vijayan tried to make me leave the office. But I asked why they are treating him worse than a slave. Alpha's wolf seems offended and he tried to attack me. I guarded the child and took him out when Vijayan controlled Alpha Krishnan. But his mother saw his raw wound and started questioning Krishnan. His anger raised. I noticed he had mind linked someone.

Out of nowhere, llamaran, their elder son injected a big needle of silver into my body. I was too focused to guard that small boy, I didn't smell him behind me. He started dragging his brother out and telling Krishnan that he had done the work. They didn't want their dirty secrets to getting out of the territory.

I started feeling the burning sensation all over my body and I couldn't shift, neither able to connect with my wolf. Krishnan shifted into his wolf and attacked me. I fought him as much as I could. But I felt all my energy getting drained. He aimed to kill me and made two of his prisoner rogue wolfs to carry my limp form to our border to make it set up as rogue attack. But they thought I was dead at that time. I was breathing with my mouth faintly and I knew my heart rate was reducing. I couldn't mind link but one of the rogue wolves tried to help me by calling for our patrols. llamaran was there to supervise them and he killed the rogue and took his body and dragged another prisoner wolf with him

I saw one of our patrol member's figure approaching me then darkness engulfed me. Later I thought I had a dream, on seeing myself clean of any wound. But Mom said Kavi healed me."

He finished telling what happened to Manohar.

The room was filled with rage now. The whole pack has kept silent when their Alpha had done his insane cruelty. How could they let their Alpha attack the other pack’s future Alpha who came there to speak about the peace treaty?

"I will inform the council and will make them pay for their crime.”

Manohar turned to go out but Sezhiyan caught his wrist and stopped him.

"No, Manohar. I want to deal with it in our traditional method. I don't mind whoever join hands with him. The war is between Krishnan and me. I want to rip that insane bastard into two."

This is what I am afraid of. Not of the war but the consequences!

"Alpha, is war necessary? It will only bring destruction. We could ask the council to deal with it.”

I said in a soft tone as his wolf was in control.

"No, Kavithanjali. No one can touch my family. I would have made the same decision even if it had happened to any of my pack members. It's time for me to put that bastard in his place. I should have done it before a long time."

His eyes stayed on me at last sentence but his determination made me sad. So there is going to be a war and lots of lives are at risk. I could use my powers to make it favourable for us. But my wolf feels sad for the innocents going die for their irresponsible Alpha.

Manohar had gone to Blood warriors territory and that Alpha has the arrogance to admit his crime. And he had declared that he would kill every pathetic wolf in our pack without any help from other packs and then he would take over our lands. He too said that they were very kind for giving two days so any weak or afraid wolf could run away from the pack. Every wolf in our pack was ready to rip that Alpha for attacking their future Alpha and now his words ignited more flame to their rage. Sezhiyan denied any help from our neighbouring pack as he wants to do it ourself to prove that Alpha Krishnan what we are capable of.

War in two days wasn't great news. Mithun and Akhilan summoned everyone and the intense training has been going on. Sezhiyan said that he doesn't want me in war. He wants me to stay with my mom to help the injured wolves. And he would deal with me later for hiding my power. I just nodded as I am thinking, there might be high possibilities for me shifting into my wolf in the war. And I have to deal with Sezhiyan for all my lies. Also, I can't stay home when my family's life was in threat.

The top rank wolves were summoned in Alpha's office. They called my mom and me.

"Why can't we use Kavi's power, Alpha? We could easily drain their energy from them and the war would come to end within minutes without any loss from our side?"

Mukilan voiced out the thought that going on in everyone's mind.

"We should give them a fair fight. Do you want to hide behind Kavi's shawl, Mukilan? I thought my third-in-command is much braver!"

Sezhiyan replied sarcastically. Mukilan let out a slight grow! at his sarcasm.

"Sezhiyan, You knew he didn't mean that. Using my powers would help us win easily. No one wants to lose their loved ones when there is a chance to keep them alive. There is nothing fair about what Blood warriors had done. The war would start within a few hours and we need to see the possible strategies to win it. I can't bear the thought of losing even a single life when I could have saved that life. At least let me participate in the war. I would take a few wolves in my human form. I won't be a burden for anyone. But I can't sit idly when my family is fighting for their life. Please, Sezhiyan."

I pleaded to him.

"Kavithanjali! I am the Alpha of this Pack. And I knew what to do. You don't have to dictate me anything. You are helping your mom. Am I clear?"

I felt sad and disappointed; not for his words but he used his Alpha tone on me even though his wolf wasn't in the surface. Everyone around me cowered their head. But I looked at his eyes even though it is a sign of challenge and disrespect.

"Crystal clear, Alpha!"

He looked shocked at me for being unaffected at his Alpha tone. Before he could speak anything, I slammed the door open and went out running to my home. Surya came running next to me asking what was wrong with me. But I shouted at him to leave me alone and locked myself in my home. NR SN

I broke a few punching bags and slept for a few hours. The sunrise is the mark for the beginning of the war. The neighbouring pack, Crimson Moon pack was ready to give us hand anytime. But Sezhiyan was too stubborn to eliminate that Alpha by himself. I knew going against Alpha's word was a big disrespect and its a question of loyalty. But I need my pack first to show my loyalty. So I went to the border where both of the pack was meeting. If only the opponents also want to put a fair fight, I won't doubt my Pack's bravery. Also, my wolf was on edge and pushing me to go there. So I can't obey Alpha's word in this matter.

The warriors were there in their stance. I wanted to go unnoticed and mingled within the crowd. But someone might have noticed me and mindlinked Sezhiyan because one of the warriors informed that Alpha wants to speak with me. I let out a defeated sigh and went forward slowly as I noticed the brightening sky on the east. Aryan uncle had a disappointed look on seeing me. Other looked amused and Dhaya even mouthed “congrats’ for the scolding I gonna receive.

"You are not supposed to be here"

Sezhiyan growled. I looked at him silently. Women weren't here yet. Only after the twenty-five per cent of male gets injured, women would come for back up.

"Why are you disrespecting me? I am your Alpha!"

He growled again. I smelled people behind me. Sezhiyan stiffened and looked behind me.

"Oh poor Sezhiyan. Even his pack member knew he is not worth to respect. See, one bitch had some guts to show up here.”

My pack members growled at the mocking tone of Alpha Krishnan. I was furious as he disrespected my Alpha. I turned around but they were still behind the shadow.

"A worthless man like you don't have any quality to even pronounce my Alpha's name. He is the greatest man I ever met in my life. I don't care who you are. But you will face my wrath if you speak ill about my Alpha”

I said in a booming tone. My desire to kill that man getting increased every second. He laughed like a manic man and stepped forward letting the first ray of Sun lighten his face. I froze on recognising the features of the person before me.

Manohar's word ringed in my ears

“Destiny will soon put him in front of you.’
