CHAPTER 66

Kavi's POV

I woke up startled to a loud growl behind me. My sore body reminded me of the ravishingly delightful

evening we had. I sleepily looked behind and found my mate in the middle of his shifting. Bells rang in

my mind that my mark had been making him transform into an alpha wolf. My wolf emerged in surface

and she made me touch our howling mate. His fur was drenched in sweat and his body recognized my

touch and he leaned to me with a whimper as his bones reformed. I can't heal him but I can try to ease

him. I shifted to a wolf and teleported us to open space near the river. He fell on the floor and cried his

howls of pain. I sat rubbing my fur on him and stroked his head with my paw nuzzling closer to him.

His body shook vigorously and I felt his pain through the bond and the connection between our souls. A

few minutes took for his bone to grow bigger and finally he transformed into an Alpha wolf. He was now

bigger than me and looked sexier in his ferocious standing stance. I walked to his front and sat with

awes in my eyes and admired his transformed delicious sexy wolf form. His maw got a sharp looking

edge and the moon shone on his golden fur and he glowed so beautifully in the darkness. I was

grinning widely on seeing my deliciously handsome mate.

He looked down at me. His ruby eyes had an outline of Gold as his eyes roamed over me. His aura

expressed his love and desire for me. My wolf nuzzled his neck and displayed her mark showing our

love and loyalty for him. He licked my maw and a sudden growl escaped him startling me. I looked at

his ruby eyes which was now displaying a little playfulness and a lot of lust. I took sat down under him

with a wolfy smirk knowing that my wolf form was also going to experience our mating. I took the first

step by aiming his throat to make him submit to me. But he anticipated that and moved casually

avoiding my attack and stood up shaking his gorgeous fur readying for the play. The rock bed of the

riverbank filled with our play but my mate won the game pinning me beneath him with his canines

gently dug on the back of my neck as he claimed me as his for the third time that night.

The sweet chirping of the birds woke my senses. My eyes met with a pair of ruby eyes adoring me as I

laid over his hand with our very naked body entangled together without any gap. At some point, we

might have shifted back to human form while we had been sleeping and he must have carried me back

to the cottage. I blushed under his intense stare as the memories of our wild night flashed before my

eyes. His fingers carefully caressed my cheek and he inched his face closer to me placing his forehead

on mine.

"I couldn't get a chance to tell this to you yesterday..."

His sleepy deep voice paused and kissed the tip of my nose. I smiled widely expecting a compliment of

my beauty and internally awed at this wonderful man being mine.

"I think you got a little chubby... more feasible to fondle and hold!"

That cheeky rascal told me in a serious tone and his hand massaged the flesh near my hip. He looked

at my surprised reaction and untangled from me and stood up from the bed gloriously bare stretching

his limbs. The change in his wolf was clearly reflected in his human form as he had grown big in all

area. His eyes caught me staring and he smirked walking to my side of the bed.

"All yours, Cupcake! And this is all mine!"

He pulled my comforter off me and claimed me with his eyes. I slowly sat up with slight hisses from the

fruition. His Alpha aura and the new confidence are turning me on more despite the soreness between

my thighs. His ruby eyes bore into mine reading my mind but his eyes softened displaying his love for

me.

"I love you, my alpha!"

I hugged him and placed my head over his shoulder. My palm caressed the tattoo of my symbol on his

shoulder formed last night. His fingers stroked my hair and his other hand hugged me.

"I love you too, Cupcake"

His lips kissed the top of my head as we lost in the embrace.

A week had passed and still every night feel anew with my lovable handsome mate. I was simply

walking through the hallway and found Aadhira standing near a window with a frown and talking to

herself.

"Hi, Aadhira."

She was staring outside the window without even recognizing my presence. I place my hand over her

shoulder and she jerked from her thoughts and bowed on seeing me.

"Goddess! Sorry... I have been thinking about something."

I nodded my head with an internal smile knowing the plan is working as I expected. I heard footsteps

and Aadhira quickly snapped her head toward the direction but sighed with a slight disappointment

when a guard appeared from the corner. He bowed at us and passed to start his duty.

"Aadhira, are you waiting for someone?"

I asked her casually but her face paled and she let out a compelled chuckle.

"No, Goddess. Whom should I be waiting? I should now go to overview the training. Let me know if you

need anything, Goddess"

She bowed and slowly walked away.

Aadhira's POV

Days have been too busy with the work that Goddess mentioned to create teams to work on the sins. A

team of ten people was allocated to each department of sins and the work had started to go with a flow.

The west wing of the castle was allocated to them. As I have been too busy with this, I couldn't visit

purification pit. But Kathir was doing the supervisions for me and he visited all the vampires' cult

personally and he regularized his old routines. He routes his works through the Council of Super-

naturals.

Things were hectic as the council had come up with a five years goal for the 'Better Earth' project. This

month-end, they will discuss the details in the meeting with Divines. And I should be prepared with the

data of the sins and also I should provide them with the solution to reduce the sins. As Goddess always

kept our realm updated with earth, it was mandatory for us to be keep updated despite her absence for

the long period. I have enough knowledge of modern-day technology but we use them with our spiritual

powers than polluting the place with invisible harmful waves in air. When I receive the data from each

team, I should summarise them and prepare the necessary reports.

I have everything under my control except my heart.

It's been exactly seven days since I have seen that irritating face. I don't know why I have been itching

to see him. Maybe I got too used to him tailing me everywhere. I really meant it when I said I don't need

a partner in my life. And he wasn't an immortal to come all way to my life. Mukilan! I just hate him. It's

just three weeks since I had met him. But he was the first one to deeply care about me other than

Goddess and Kathir. Despite the numerous time, I pushed him away, he came back to me just to get

beaten up.

I didn't have any feelings or that's what I thought about him until he disappeared. There was something

keeps tugging at my heart. Maybe that's the mate bond they have been talking about. I heard Kathir

telling how he felt attracted towards his first mate despite him being human and how things turned up

because of his little attraction towards Goddess. But I am very happy that he had found his love in

Vibha. She is a sweet woman who can make my brother happy and I really love her. Everything is

going well. Goddess too reconciled with Akhilan. The only problem is nights becoming worst with these

couples being too loud in bed.

The day before his disappearance that man had the guts to sneak into my room. It was too

embarrassing as I had curled up in his embrace in my sleep and it really provided me with warmth. I

vaguely remember him muttering something to my sleepy form. But the comfort was too leisure for my

lone heart to focus on his words. He wasn't there when I woke up. I never felt a need to be with

someone in the seven thousand five hundred years of my life in the realm of darkness. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

At the initial stage, the playful competition with my twin had boosted us to climb the ladder of hierarchy

in a short time. That was the time I had been fully focused on the improvements in our realm. Goddess

supported us and when she gave me the top position, I was so grateful and have been giving my fullest

all these years and still improving for better. In older days, she always wanted us to find the right

person to travel along. Unfortunately, no one grabbed my interest and mostly men maintained their

distance due to my position. The new souls would sometime hit on me but no one asked me twice.

The continuous fourteen days of torture to get a chance to prove himself worthy was the longest

pursuance happened to me so far. Would that be the reason for this disturbing feel in my heart? My

body feels exhausted without his presence. Sleep was far away as my body yearns for the warmth I

experienced after that night. I have been overworking at nights to shrug off those feelings. Meditation

helps me restore energy but my partial focus wasn't helping. I am managing to keep my works clear

without these feeling affect me and work is the only solution to keep me sane. And I hate him more for

spoiling my peaceful life.

Had he given up like I always asked him to? He is a handsome man and he could easily get any

woman he likes. That's better for both of us.

I closed my eyes clearing his thoughts away and took a few deep breaths in. I should now visit the new

souls and allocate them to the best position in the realm. It was always interesting to work to select

people. With the growing population in the earth, our realm was also getting populated but it was

inevitable. And not many people would like to serve here as they have no memories of Goddess of

darkness and also humans were now focused on their new life. Mostly the souls of super-naturals and

animals only choose to serve her. So they need training from scratch.

I entered the room filled with about fifty people and went straight to the table that has their personal

details. The afterlife manager, who had collected their details, opened the files of their information on

the magical screen and he had allocated them from the best to least. He handed me a parchment that

had a black ribbon on it. It means a high priority. Upon touching the parchment, the symbol of the

goddess glowed. I carefully opened as this is a special case under her order.

The image of the person who was haunting me appeared on the blank parchment followed by the

words. His abilities had been described in detail and he had turned immortal while being a werewolf

carrying two souls within him and had gone through the purification and healing for the past week

under the direct exemption of the Goddess of darkness. There was an instruction to test him whether

he would fit in second level warrior or to use him in the technology department and also there was a

disclosure of his special ability of being the best tracker of the region he had lived.

Goddess asking me about me waiting for someone flashed before me. I won't doubt her actions. And

the mate bond is her blessing and he is her best friend. I will do as she instructed. I looked up at the

crowd and found him at the third row sitting with his arms crossed and looking at me with the same

eyes that desperately trying to convey his feelings for me. A sense of relief washed over me.

I kept the parchment aside and looked at the magical screen and called the people listed there to put

them in optimal use to serve the realm. I looked at Mukilan.

"Welcome to the realm. Goddess had instructed to test your abilities. You should prove your strength or

smartness by competing with the existing members in the second top level of the realm management.

You shall claim the place of a defeated person if you win. Else your abilities will be tested with the Third

level or be let you free to train yourself to claim the position you missed. You can consult about it with

Goddess afterwards. Let me lead you to the training ground. You can use your werewolf abilities too."

He smiled widely and nodded his head like a lost puppy. I pursed my lips and walked towards the door.

I sent telepathy to the three people who had claimed their place by proving their strength.

Mukilan got a few cuts and bruises which makes me uncomfortable. But I put on the blank face and

watched them fought for their position. A few minutes were enough for them. He fought well and

managed to win two warriors despite them using weapons but the third warrior was an experienced and

top warrior in the realm. He trains the new souls. So he calculated Mukilan's move and made him

submit to him. As the head executive of the realm, I am very impressed with that soul to put up such

fight against the trained people here.

He explained his familiarity with the computers and managed to give a reasonable solution for the

managerial problems. Being new with the realm was his disadvantage but he strives to learn and I

decided to put him at second level as the replacement for the technology head after a month training to

get used to the gadgets here. He could handle this and my old technology head was reluctant to learn

new. If he continues this behaviour, I would be sending him off to the afterlife soon. I left Mukilan there

and went to my room as I need a quick minute to myself to sort out my feelings.

Why he hadn't spoken to me? If he had turned immortal for me, why was he just acknowledging my

words? He used to change even a serious topic into a romantic one. What was his intention? Whatever

it is, I can't let myself be distracted like this.

I ran into Akhilan as I was too deep in my thoughts. I bowed at him with a smile and moved away from

the way to let him go.

"Aadhira, I know this is your personal matter. But I feel obliged to ask you this because Mukilan is a

very important person in my life. Anjali told me what you have told about the relationship. Are you sure?

You don't want any ties with Mukilan, right?"

I was confused and it was frustrating one side. I just nodded my head affirming my intention for the

relationship.

"That's good. A female warrior, Meera seemed to be interested in him because she had seen her

fighting in the training ground before a few hours. Maybe they will fit together. She looks great too."

He mumbled more to himself and walked away with a nod.

I know every single person in this realm and as he said that woman got great looks and lovely nature. A

part of me was numb but my heart ached a little imagining him with another woman. But I already took

my decision and it wasn't good for a warrior to retreat in the middle of the war. I quit my idea of going to

my room and decided to resume my work.

Kathir sensed my disturbance and tried to talk me out. But I kept myself closed off and behaved as my

usual self. Hours turned into days but that man didn't come to see me. We cross path as we live under

the same roof but he would just nod at me while walking. The traces of his memories filled all over the

realm as he had followed me wherever I went. The morning training will ease my nerve to see him

training there. Day by day, the ache within me increased and I continued to blame it on the mate bond.

Mukilan attended the fortnight meeting but kept it professional. I convinced my mind that things were

happening for its best. My work regarding the data on sins was almost over. I should finish dinner

earlier and summarise it tonight. Goddess had invited the second level families to dinner. I already

made an arrangement for the dinner and asked two people to overlook it. I stretched my hands and

shoulder and made my way to the dining hall.

Everyone seems to be present there already and nothing seems off. I noticed Mukilan sitting with Kathir

and they were having fun. I walked to the right side of the table where I usually sit and took my place.

The head chairs were occupied by Goddess and Akhilan who seems to be lost in their own world. I

smiled at the cute couple and saw my sister in law sitting on my brother lap. I blinked and looked away

as I often forget the werewolves don't mind displaying their affection in public.

I spoke with the other people and casually looked next to my brother. What is Meera doing here? She

isn't any second-level warrior or doesn't belong to their family. She walked with a dreamy big smile

towards Mukilan and leaned her slender figure on his chair and kept her hand over his shoulder. He

looked up at her and smiled at her.

Are they already together?

I looked away not wanting to fool myself and picked the grape juice before me and took a sip. The

conversation I started with the person next to me was abandoned long back as my eyes had been

looking at the man who claimed me as his mate. I hate to admit it but my nerves were boiling with

jealousy. She was stroking his hair and he was casually conversing with her as if nothing was wrong.

Can't they keep this in their room? I was looking at my plate but my peripheral vision was displaying the

happy couple being very touchy as she was cleaning the crumbs off the corner of his mouth. The glass

in my hand broke with the pressure I applied and silence filled the room. I looked up at brother who was

looking at me with wide eyes.

"Can't you wait till the dinner gets over? Keep all these inside your bedroom. Behave with dignity in this

hall!"

My voice sounded louder with the complete silence and I was flustered when I noticed the

embarrassed look on Goddess's face. And other females seem to be at the same state. I cursed myself

under the breath.

"I apologize to everyone! Please continue dinner."

I teleported to my room and sighed out in frustration plopped on the bed.

What had gotten into me? How am I going to face Kathir and Vibha? Above all, how am I going to see

Goddess face? I had thrown insult at the face of every couple there. It wasn't even a formal dinner

meeting. It was a casual one. My behaviour is so wrong! Goddess! Please forgive me.

I heard knocks at my door but ignored it and continued to stare at the wall. The door swung open and

the man who made me lose my mind walked into the room as if he owns it. He picked my left hand and

cringed with a hiss. I looked down and found two pieces of glass stuck in palm and bleeding. I didn't

even notice it. He carefully pulled the glasses and threw them at the dustbin under my bed and led me

to the bathroom pressing his kerchief over my bleeding palm. He washed my hand and blew air over it.

My palm was already healing and that pain was nothing as the weight of something pushing on my

heart making it hurt more.

"Why are you so careless? If you had left it like that, your palm would have healed along with the

glasses."

He scolded me in a soft voice which was filled with so much concern.

"Why do you care?"

I asked with a heavy tone as my feeling had been taunting me. His eyes raised from my palm to meet

with my eyes. He smiled widely. The smile I missed for a few days. He tucked my hair behind my ear

and softly caressed my cheek with the back of his hand. My heartbeat rose and the ache in my heart

multiplied ten folds.

"My jealous mate was so hotter than the brutal woman who beats me up whenever I touch."

I realized I had been letting him touch me. I swatted his hand away from my cheek.

This man!

"Why should I be jealous? If anything, your girlfriend must be worried about being gone for long. I don't

want any rumours on me about you coming to my room at night. Get out! Right now!"

I composed myself and spoke to him like I usually do. But he was smiled widely and inched closer to

me. I blinked and caught the edge of the counter.

"You know, it was too easy to opening up your heart than to keep your feeling locked inside. If you can't

find the courage to open up, don't worry. I will take care of you. You can't resist me. We are created to

love each other with all our heart. It was destiny."

He cupped my cheeks and spoke to me slowly like teaching a toddler.

I was processing his words and still, a part of me was doubting whether I need a man in my life. Seeing

my silence, he took in a deep breath with narrowed eyes before capturing my lips in between his. The

shield of my resistance broke as my body started to feel so alive. The cheeks and lips were tingling as

he continued nibbling my lips. My heart was beating at a new rhythm as the so-called bond had made

its appearance within me. He swept his tongue over my lips but I was too occupied comprehending the

magic happening around me.

He pulled away with a sad face as I didn't respond to him. My eyes now see him in a new light. Every

beautiful feature about him was so enticing and it amuses me. He left my cheeks and sighed turning

away. But my mind was crystal clear. I pulled his collar and caught his lips in mine. A growl escaped

him at the roughness of the kiss. His hands hugged me to his body as he reflected my desire.

"You are right. I can't be at peace without you and I can't give you to another woman."

I broke the kiss and confessed my felling and pulled him towards the bed. The sudden urge and desire

were clouding my mind and my carnal desires were at high and needed to be sated.

"That's right, baby. MINE!"

A ring of gold formed on his pupil with a deep growl as he softly slammed me on the bed. He cleared

my confusion and insecurity with kisses on every inch of my body as he claimed me as his female all

through the night answering my needs. The very long wait in my life I walked alone had come to an end

with this male injected his essence on my skin, mind and heart.

So this is the happy ending written by destiny for me. I hugged him at the dawn as we exhausted

ourselves all night with the play of passion. I know nobody would disturb me until I wake up as my

moans at night might have conveyed my state to them. I fell into the sleep with contented heart in his

arms.
