Chapter 41
Kavi's POV
"Layla?!?"
Chandran uttered in complete disbelief and confusion.
"No! I'm not Layla. The same small pathetic girl you mentioned who cried all my life hoping you will do
something to make my life better. But you never seem to hear my prayers. The only good thing you did
was making Akhilan as my mate. But you did a great mistake by taking him away from me. You
shouldn't have done that."
I spat out and raised my hands drawing in the power from the space and directed them towards him.
The purple gas formed into a ball shape and hit his chest making him let out a groan. His silver white
robe had torn and a bruise formed on his stomach.
After healing within the bubble, Maayan instantly caught hold of his wand and cast some spell on
Chandran which made him went flying and hit the wall before us. Maayan's aura was radiating so much
rage.
"I won't let you hurt her again!"
Maayan cast another spell but Chandran blocked him with a wave of his hand. But Maayan seems to
have expected this move because he instantly used his magic to bind him to the wall.
"It's up to you now, Cupcake. Even though I crave to tear him apart. He is your prey."
I nodded at Maayan and walked near Chandran with the determination to end this all. But he closed his
eyes and muttered something. A bright light formed before him and he vanished into the air with the
sudden appearance of a portal before him.. I let out a frustrated groan. Maayan rushed to my side.
"I know it is not easy to kill him. I just wanted to try. But how did you do that? I could still feel your
powers within me. Then how did you summon those powers?"
Maayan held me in his arms and asked about his confusion after checking I am okay.
"I don't know. It's like I started absorbing energy from the space and redirected it to him. I was so
enraged when he explained his plans to torture everyone I knew. And Akhilan..."
A sob breaks out of me not knowing how he was going to handle everything and I don't even know
whether he was alright?
"Don't worry, Cupcake! Chandran might have sent him to earth. Akhilan will be alright. Chandran was
so conscious about his actions towards the people. So he won't do direct harm to anyone. Let's see a
way to get your powers back and we can go to earth then. Okay?"
He said softly and rubbed my back.
"No! Let's go to earth and take him to our realm first. Then we can come here again"
I can't be calm when my mate... No more! But he is always my lover. He is not with me now and
Chandran might harm him as he promised me.
"Do you think you can overpower the people there. Chandran must have already portrayed you in the
wrong way. Don't take decisions when you are emotional. Think practically. The powers may help you
to bring Akhilan back easily. Even though I want him gone from our life, I know how much he was
important to you. Equally important as me. So let's finish this here and let's get him back."
I want to disagree but I have to get the powers back which is the only way to fight against Chandran. I
didn't have any vengence to fight him earlier. But he broke the bond between my mate and me. Now I
want his blood. My wolf was almost unconscious and she was too weak. Usually, for normal
werewolves, it would make the human part weak too. But I wasn't affected as much as I should be. The
darkness within me was giving me energy.
Maayan's arm circled my waist and he did some magic. We teleported to the other side of the wall. The
surface was the same as the other side of the wall. And after a few miles, the place was covered with a
fog in the ground level. But the rock which I have seen in the vision was floating high in the sky and half
of the rock had been covered with a black magical cloud.
"What we have to do now?"
I asked Maayan.
"Probably we have to see whether we can find any clues inside the rock?"
He replied scratching his beardy jaw. I nodded and looked at the rock. Suddenly a loud roar made us
startle and we looked at the fog to see where the noise was coming from.
A huge creature which I only seen in human temples walked towards us majestically. It's Yaazhi! Body
in the size of a huge elephant with a face similar to the male lion but very much terrific and also has
tusks and trunk. Also, it has wings on its sides. People have believed that was one of the most powerful
animal lived in the earth.
I wasn't in the mood to admire the historical creature coming our way. I want to check whether I could
find a solution to get my power back so I could easily bring Akhilan back.
I grabbed Maayan's wand and extended my hand towards Yaazhi. It paused on its steps and I don't
know whether it really happened but I felt like it narrowing its eyes.
"I don't know whether you can understand me. But run back from where you came. I have enough
dramas and I don't want to kill you now."
I said out in a hurried tone wondering why I was trying to speak to an animal. It shook his head and
melodious laughter filled my mind.
'You can't use that wand, Kavithanjali. It only obeys Maayan's command. And I am not planning to fight
against the exhausted and confused werewolf. But I should show my respect to the Goddess of
Darkness. I am here to help you. You have to trust me and Maayan has to take this!'
Yaazhi's feminine voice filled my mind and she submitted before me. I looked at Maayan and he
nodded his head at me. She kept a wooden chest that magically appeared in her trunk before us.
"Yaazhi-s were trustworthy creatures. They won't lie. My intuition also tells that we can trust her."
I nodded half-heartedly with the thoughts of what if this was a trap. But I had a odd feeling that I have
seen this creature before.
Maayan went forward and picked the chest. A wave of shiver ran through me. It's the reaction from his
touch. And he froze just like for a few seconds and walked back to me.
"Are you okay?"
I asked him in concern because of his silence and his aura was confusion and pain.
He just nodded his head with a sigh. I feel so empty without the presence of the bond. That Yaazhi then
walked back into the fog and disappeared once again. He held it tightly to his chest and asked me to
use the vial to teleport us back to the Realm of Darkness. I complied to him.
We teleported back to the office where we originally started and Aadhira was there already. She looked
at me questioningly at the absence of Akhilan and her eyes stopped on my neck which was now crystal
clear. She is smart enough to guess what might have happened there. I tried to keep myself together
but my glossy eyes made her rush to my side instantly but thankfully she didn't question me. She
supportively held me close to her. Maayan placed the wooden chest before the small table and cast
some spell to open the chest. A set of three glass vials with red sparkling powder was kept inside the
chest wrapped by a velvet cloth. He looked up at me.
"I gained knowledge about them when I touched the chest. These vials have a magical herb that could
help us to extract your powers from me. I have to take a vial once a day. So you will be getting your
powers back in three days. And please don't do anything in haste before that, Cupcake. It might make
things even worse."
I knew what he meant but how can I be silent when I should have already been rushing there to get
Akhilan back.
"I want him."
I whispered lowly.
"Try to understand, please. I need you to be here while I use these. I won't be stopping you after two
days. I promise"
He pointed the wooden chest and pleaded with his eyes. I can't deny him. I nodded my head reluctantly
and retired to my room.

The day passed. I ordered Aadhira to not let anyone disturb me and spent the entire day in my room. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
My wolf was still not showing any sign of her emotion from yesterday but I just feel her inside me.
Surprisingly Maayan too didn't come to see me. Maybe he decided to give me some space to let me
keep my emotions in check. But it made me feel lonely. And I decided to go out instead of waiting for
him to come to see me. I went to the office room and found Aadhira there with some people and she
was discussing something with them. They all stood up and bowed for me. I nodded and blinked
blankly.
"Maayan?"
I questioned her.
"Maayan was in his room, Goddess. He didn't come out from last afternoon."
She replied to me. I frowned.
"He seems a little sick with the intake of the vial you guys brought yesterday. So he was taking rest in
his room."
She filled in.
"Why didn't you tell me about it yesterday, Aadhira. I should have gone to check him earlier. Did he
take any medicine?"
She looked away with a sorry look and nodded her head negatively.
"Goddess, we all are Immortals and we never happened to take medicines as your blessing always
kept us healthy and we heal very quickly. Sorry about not informing you about Maayan."
She apologised.
"Fine. But make sure something like this never repeats in future. I will go and check him."
I sighed out. I made my way towards Maayan's room.
I opened his door without bothering to knock. He was leaning on the headboard with eyes closed and
had the blanket till his bare chest. I was shocked to see him looking so pale within a day. His nerves
were displaying across his neck and his eyes had bags under them. It feels like he had lost some
weight within a day. He looks so... sick. I rushed to him and hopped on the bed and dug his hand out to
check him. He jerked at the sudden touch but relaxed on seeing me. I wondered how his illness didn't
affect me as I knew we have a physical bond that makes us feel things. But right now, his red veins in
his eyes made me more worried.
"What the hell happened to you? Why didn't you call me earlier?"
I checked his body but I couldn't find anything. It's like something was masking his problem from me. I
could sense something is wrong with him. But I have to recognise the core where my healing is
required for him. My energy levels usually go up when I was with him and now it was rising so slowly
comparing to older times. Surely something was happening to me and that was beyond my control. Or
was it because of my wolf being silent?
"It's nothing, cupcake. It was just the side effect of the herbs. Things will be alright when you get your
powers back completely."
He tried to console me.
"You don't have to do this. Why are you suffering for me? Can't we find another way to do this?"
I asked in distress.
"NO! This is the only way and I don't want to miss this opportunity to rectify my past mistake. I knew
how much you want Akhilan back. And you can't underestimate Chandran. We have planned a lot and
thought we could defend ourself in Qywesir but you know what happened back there. With a snap of
his finger, he made us all hanging on the air. So I want to make sure you get your powers back and set
thing right before it's too late. And this is nothing for me. It may sound cliche but its's true. I love you so
much and I will die for you within a blink of an eye. After all, we just have one vial left. Let's finish this."
He confessed.
I glared at him and he chuckled at my angry face but his laughter turned into a heavy cough.
Why all these happening to the people I love?
I pulled his blanket and rubbed his hard chest and snuggled closer to him. He sighed and weakly
circled his arm around me. I gave him some of my energy which actually did work and he hugged me
tighter. Making contact with his skin was a warm feel and I can't help the wetness developing between
my legs. He was warm and smells heavenly even in this state.
"We can't feel each other much until this herb was in my system. It separates our soul and keep us
detached. But it was a miracle that you could give energy to me."
He spoke softly while stroking my hair. I felt a wave of sadness and pain in his aura. I looked up at him
questioningly.
"I... miss you."
He said and his eyes got watery. A lump formed in my throat on seeing him in this state. I sat up quickly
and I cupped his cheeks looking into his beautiful red orbs. I kissed his forehead and hugged him to my
chest. He hugged me too tight but I don't mind. Words failed to come out of my mouth to comfort him
so I let him be in my embrace and feel how much he means to me.
We stayed like that for a few minutes and he clutched his stomach suddenly and his aura was radiating
so much pain. I don't know what to do. I rubbed his back and urged him to have some water. He gulped
the water quickly and pressed his eyelids tightly enduring the pain. He leaned back on the headboard
with a sigh and looked at my watery eyes and smiled at me.
"I love you, cupcake. Don't worry. Everything happens for a reason."
He muttered softly and closed his eyes drifting off to sleep. I stayed by his side and I could feel his
health was getting worse but I don't know how to heal him. I was just holding his hand and transferring
some energy to him at certain intervals. I can't sit and see him suffering. But I don't know what to do to
make his pain go away. He said that after my powers come back to me, things will get better. I believe
his words and hoping for this torture to end soon.
Suddenly I felt something in my head and it felt like exploding. I clutched my head and before I could
know the pain vanished. But my brain was sucked into something and my vision showed nothing but
black!
