A Mysterious She-wolf

Chapter 23

Kavi's POV

I waited in Vijayan's office for five minutes while everyone gathered. I calmed myself and I knew there

was more to come when I meet the pack. Vijayan walked me to the backyard. There were around a

hundred people there. There was a stage like a cement slab with stairs. I walked up to the stairs and a

collective groan echoed but my growl stopped them. My nervousness had disappeared without any

trace and I felt quite confident.

"Most of the men would have known who I am. No woman has met me yet. So let me properly

introduce myself. I am Kavithanjali, the firstborn of Alpha Krishnan. I was born to his destined mate and

I don't want to discuss my birth now. I knew your Alpha and his son were now under council's custody.

Luna Shrini and Beta Vijayan asked me to step up to my rightful position. I knew I am a stranger to you

and it would be quite a big problem for you to trust me. Moreover, I am the reason why you all are here

without an Alpha. But I don't regret doing any of that. I wanted to know whether you want me, the

person born to lead you, to be your Alpha or not. You could ask Vijayan to step-up as your Alpha if you

don't want me. Because the pack is a big family and the basic of the family is trust and loyalty.

My past holds lots of pain and I am not perfect epitome for an Alpha. I have done lots of mistakes and I

never have known I was going to be an Alpha of this pack. I was grown just as a mistake of an accident

happened to my mom. I even lost hope on mates by various events happening around me. I am trying

to correct my mistakes and I am learning from them. I don't have any greed or desire for this title. But if

you want me to be your Alpha, I will prove myself worthy of my title. My wolf has that responsibility to

protect you and that's why I am here. Now you need to take the decision. You can wait for the return of

your Alpha or you can ask him to step down and Vijayan can step up or you can choose me. I don't

want my answer now. Think about it. I will come tomorrow here at the same time and I will stand here

for my reply. Decide what you want!"

I finished my lengthy oration and looked at them.

It was strange how I was an invisible girl before three years and now I am addressing a whole pack for

them to make a huge decision in my life. Suddenly Nakul started clapping his hand with a smirk.

"Do you think we would submit to a female? Our Alpha taught us to never submit to a female. Do you

believe we would bow to you? Pathetic! You might possess magical powers and our Alpha blood may

run in your body. But we have devoted ourself to our Alpha Krishnan. And we would never submit to

you. Do you hear that female? I can smell your innocence. Go away before one of us do some

irrevocable damage."

It was not new for me to listen to such a nasty comment. But the females in the crowd gasped. I think

my mom's mate had done a great job in establishing equality among the pack.

"See! If you think women as weak and pathetic like your guru has taught, I can't deny that you are a

great stupid. A real male will know that females are equal to them. Don't judge us by the size of our

wolf. You came to this face of the earth because a female has decided to give birth to you and don't

forget the pain she endured while giving birth to you."

I said calmly and heard him growling. I controlled my wolf to the surface and continued.

"My growl has the power to make you submit but I am not going to do that. You have seen my strength

back at the war when I tore your Alpha limb by limb. If my mom hadn't intervened, he would be resting

under the earth. And I am a female. A female who had defeated the Alpha of your pack. I don't know

whatever trash your Alpha has taught you, but take it to your head that females are the root of every

tree who was holding onto anything and bearing the weight of you. I knew not many packs let female

train. But learn gender equality and teach them to your children. At least let the next generation be free

of this discrimination. If you think so low of your mother, mate and daughter, then you don't deserve

them."

I spatted out with frustration. Humans are far better in this case. They are at least trying to develop

equality among them. I waited for him to reply but I found the female kneeling with their fist crossed on

their heart. They are submitting to me out of respect. I felt a wave of goosebump travelling over my

body at the sight.

Nakul made his way to me. I stood there unfazed. I expected him to challenge me but what he did next

was most unexpected. He knelt before me and exposed his neck. Complete submission!

"Thank you, Alpha. I wanted to know whether his bloodline was the same as him. I am loyal to him but I

hate how he wants us to treat a woman. And many other factors need to be changed. But we fear to tell

that to him. In our younger age, we were taught to respect them. But when he took over, he started

treating them less. We maintained their dignity all these years but they weren't allowed to train. I hope

you will make this dry land back to the blossoming garden again. We don't need time to think. We

accept you, Alpha. As you said, You have already proved your worth by defeating our old Alpha. The

pack was already bound to you from that second, Alpha."

He said and looked behind. Every male started to fall on their knees and they kept their neck exposed.

A proud drop of tear rolled over my cheek. I howled loudly accepting their submission. They howled

back in happiness. I don't know how to be an Alpha but I know what is responsibility means and I will

prove them my worth for trusting me.

I proudly watched the pack and let my wolf surface. We could never predict what's life going to give us!

I told them that I would be back in a few days to take the title as I need some time to settle a few

personal things in my current pack. Everyone agreed. And I bid my bye and started driving to Green

ocean pack. I don't feel like leaving the place. But Vibha and Madhu might be waiting for me.

I directly went to pack house to inform this happy news to Sezhiyan. I parked my bike and found

Sezhiyan was there with Luna Mithra and they are sipping coffee sitting on the steps. They are simply

talking and enjoying their time. I smiled but a lump formed in my throat. What did I do to not deserve

such a happy life?

"Mithra, did you see that?"

Sezhiyan asked Luna while looking at me.

"Yeah. How can I miss that?"

She replied to him in an amused tone.

"Hey, guys! Quit teasing. What are you two talking about?"

I asked them with a smile sitting on the step below them in between them.

"You have just visited the pack but see your posture had changed to dominating one. That's Alpha

thing, Princess. You are going to make great Alpha. I could see that."

Sezhiyan said with a proud smile and winked at me.

"You know, they all accepted me. I never thought this will happen so soon. But I could feel my wolf was

feeling home there already."

I said with twinkles in my eyes. Luna squealed in happiness and hugged me and kissed the top of my

head. I hugged her back and kissed her cheek and hold Sezhiyan's hand.

They always had this parent feel for me. Why my life was like this? All I wanted is a normal life. I just

want to be born to normal mates who would share their love with me and maybe a sibling for me to

take care of. A life where we all sitting at the backyard of our home on a Sunday evening and sipping

coffee with my family and mate, playing and teasing with each other. But..! But I am not allowed for

those great pleasures. I should go through all these dramas.

'Everything will be alright. Don't worry, Kavi '

Sezhiyan mind linked me and pressed my palm reassuringly. He must have noticed the change in my

aura. But he was wrong. Already destiny had marked that I don't deserve happiness from my mate.

'Yeah. Thanks, Sezhiyan!'

I linked him back and stood up.

"I will see you guys in Ceremony. Madhu and Vibha are waiting for me. Bye."

I waved at them and made my way inside.

I helped the two new woman to get ready for their welcoming ceremony. I was so happy for having this

great family. Surya decided to take Vibha to his home this weekend, to introduce her to his mom. His

mom was a little shy and silent type and Surya took me there often before meeting his mate. My uncle

and aunt welcomed Madhu with great enthusiasm. She already loves them. Both couples decided to

stay at pack house for some days until they construct their own houses. It was usual in the pack

because the newly mated couple needs lots of privacy. It will never change. Like our food appetite, our

sexual appetite is also way more than humans.

The welcoming ceremony went well. Sezhiyan even announced that I am going to take over the Blood

warriors in a few days. Everyone cheered for me. My mom wasn't here so I dressed up in a plain

turquoise dress that ends below my knees with light makeup. The kids were dancing and chasing each

other. I felt my dress being pulled and looked at cute twin baby boys. They might be two or three years

old. They both extended their hand to pick them up. I smiled at their cuteness and picked them in each

of my hand. The difference was evident with one has brown eyes and black hair and other has blue

eyes with brown hair. The black-haired one is, Varun and the other is Tharun.

"Don't tell Mamma I said this, but you look sexy in this crowd."

Varun whispered in my ears.

"Oh! Thank you. But who taught this 'sexy' word?"

I whispered back.

"Pappa told us when we find a girl beautiful, I should compliment her. And we have seen Pappa telling

this to Mamma all time. So I told you."

Tharun explained to me. Elders should be more careful around kids. Because kids were getting smarter

nowadays.

"The word sexy is only for adults. You kids shouldn't use it. After growing up to your father size, you can This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

use it. You both are good boys right?"

I asked in a whisper. They looked at each other and nodded their head vigorously.

"Good boys don't use adults words. So don't use it. Okay?"

They smiled and clapped their hands.

Moon! They are so adorable. I took them to the food stall and sat next to them and helped them to eat.

Their mother was so sweet. She was pregnant and she was very tired to handle these two boys who

were so energetic. I offered her to help her for looking after them and she agreed immediately. Then

she went with his mate after I reassured her that I will take care of the kids. They listen to me like good

kids. So I had no problem with looking after them. They wanted me to carry them around the place. I

did happily.

I stopped and looked around when I smelled rain and pineapples. I found him sitting on a chair with a

glass of some drink, in his light blue shirt and grey pant. He looks so damn hot. When he turned his

gaze towards me. His eyes widened with a big smile. He closed his smiling face with his free hand and

shook his head. He started to come towards me. Maybe I could tell him. Or I could just remove my

pendant and let him know who I am. Or I could run my hand through his beautiful silky hair.

My wolf uncovered her block and savoured our mate's handsome look with all my running commentary.

His eyes still had that dark circles but he looks very handsome. I noticed his eyes darkened a bit. An

unwanted blush covered my cheeks. No! I shouldn't be blushing. It only made his eyes darken more. A

ring of gold covered the outline of his grey eyes. My wolf was purring at the sight of both of them at

once. I controlled her to not get onto the surface.

"You look so great. And with these kids... I could tell you are going to be a great mother."

He looked away after that statement. I smiled ghostly as I could imagine a little family of our own. I

shook that unwanted thought away. The way he letting me down was making me afraid. I am afraid to

trust him wholeheartedly. That fear was deep inside me from my twelveth age after knowing what my

mom's mate had done to her.

"Umm... I will take leave. See you later."

He said to me while looking to his side.

I notice his mother glaring at him. I nodded my head. He walked back to where Mukilan was. I was a

little disappointed. What will he do when he finds I am his mate? Will he just leave me like this for his

mother? I know the importance of one's mother in their life. But my heart pained to acknowledge it. I

shook off those thoughts and looked at the kids and smiled at them. Remember, I already decided that

I don't want a mate.

The twins then started narrating their first vacation experience. They have this habit of continuing the

conversation from where the other had paused. It was so cute. I sat them on a table and did small

tricks that I once have seen on YouTube. They were in awe and asked me whether I am a witch. I

laughed at their innocence and taught them some tricks which they mastered within minutes. It was so

easy to get close with kids. They have this highly positive vibes towards everything.

I felt someone watching me and found Akhilan looking at me with the same look. He was admiring me

without even noticing I am looking at him. Maybe he was really confused by the pendant. My mind was

in dilemma more than an oscillating ball. The kids' parents came and get them back to put them to

sleep. I offered to look after them anytime they want. After all, they were not so mischievous type. I

could handle them.

When I gave Tharun to his father, I felt a wave of something hitting me. My mate's scent smells ten

times more alluring and my wolf was going crazy to be let out. I could feel the bond has now connected

our soul. But how? My hands reflexively went to my neck and I gasped.

My pendant wasn't there.

I fell on my knees. I saw my mate approaching me. He extended his hand and touched my arm

cautiously. His touch erupted fire on my skin with lots of tingles under his palm. My wolf was so happy

at his first touch and yipping inside my head with contentment and happiness. It was like every nerve in

my body was electrocuted with his touch. My nervousness gets best of me. I heard my heartbeat was

rising higher and higher.

"MATE!?!"

He whispered with confusion and shock with a gasp. He withdrew his hand and looked at my face with

lots of questions in his eyes. I don't know how to react. The whole pack was silently watching us.

Tharun's father approached me hesitantly and extended his hand with my chain.

"Umm... I think this is yours."

I just extended my hand to get that and Akhilan gasped when the bond was suppressed with my

contact to the pendant.

"You knew we are mates. Don't you?"
