The dialogues in italics, represent the conversation between Karan and his wolf!
Sweet Sweet Cold
It was too damn cold. The wind held bits of icy clumps of snow in it, which was really annoying. Karan hated being cold, not just because he was a werewolf and had a warmer body temperature than any human, but because the cold held horrific memories to it.
Memories of death, disease and helplessness he never wanted to feel again. He growled softly to himself as another gust spat in his face. Even being a 500 year old werewolf wasn't helping much, he's still feeling cold and was shivering lightly. He'd come to America to meet the doctor who'll be operating his daughter, Seher. His beautiful 16 year old human daughter, whom he'd adopted. Seher was born to one of his human ally, who had died.
He just couldn't let her go. The baby had captured his heart at the first sight, so he decided to adopt her. And now, his daughter Seher was suffering from some brain disease, a tumor as they call it. He had lost his parents and brother already; he couldn't afford to lose Seher!
Being the Alpha of the largest pack of werewolves in the world and still, being mate-less, he might have become arrogant, rude jerk but he still has the heart that beats, cares and loves. He loves his daughter and cares for her too.
He heaved a sigh of relief as he entered the hospital, he daughter was admitted in. Asking the receptionist about the directions to the cabin of his daughter's doctor, Karan started walking according to the directions given to him. Walking with a normal pace, he was suddenly hit by a sweet smell. It smelled so pure, so sweet and so good; it felt sinful.
Enthralled, mesmerized, captivated and hypnotized by the sweet smell, Karan changed his route and started following the sinfully delicious aroma. After walking for few more minutes, he finally stopped outside a closed door of a cabin. Its nameplate read, "Dr. Shilpa Swaminathan". His wolf howled inside him.
What?
Mine.
What did his wolf say?
Mine.
He was momentarily distracted from this new statement. For almost 500 years his wolf hasn't said any word to any of the woman he has courted and now he is howling with joy and chanting mine, mine just at a woman's name. Great!
Open the damn door idiot!
Karan internally rolled his eyes at his wolf. No way he's going to barge just like that.
You've denied me countless times, man, but you will not on this!
Oh really? And what on the earth could his wolf want? Besides the blood, meat and fresh air?
Her.
Why?
Her. Mine.
Not able to control his wolf anymore, Karan twisted the knob and entered the doctor's cabin. There he spotted, a young woman, probably 24 years of age, clad in a red colored dress with the white doctor's overcoat. She was busy with some files. Again the scent hit him, but this time it hit him hard. The pure, unadulterated, sensual, passionate smell of tulips and red roses teased his senses. He felt his wolf clawing to come out.
Mine. Mine. Mine. All Mine.
Idiot wolf. Brainless, stupid furry animal. Karan gritted his teeth. His wolf was stubborn and hotheaded demon.
"Excuse me!" asked the doctor. Shilpa.
"Hello? Mister?? You there?" Angelic, very angelic voice.
Narrowing her eyes, she walked towards him and stood in front of him, her hands on her waist, she poked Karan's shoulder and said, "Are you silly? I am calling you from the past few minutes and you are just standing here. Idiot!"
Beautiful, he thought. She was exquisite. It was a fact that neither he nor his wolf could deny. Karan tried to make up a lie, but Shilpa beat him to that.
"Another psycho for the day! Great, just great! I am cursing the day I decided to be a psychologist!" muttered Shilpa, which would have been difficult for human years to hear but Karan being the supernatural wolf he is, he heard every word she muttered.
"Come have a seat and tell me about your problem." Shilpa sat back on her chair and tapped her hands on the table.
"I am not having any mental issues. I just came here, because I smelt this sinfully delicious smell coming from this place." Replied Karan.
Damn straight idiot. Now she'll think that you are a dog or something. You are giving reasons for her to certify you as a psycho.
Karan snarled at his wolf, he likes to be straight forward and practical. Was it wrong?
Oh yes it is!
"Like a dog or something?" asked Shilpa, making notes.
"More like a wolf." Replied Karan.
Karan's wolf mentally slapped Karan for being a douche damn straight idiot.
"Now don't you start about the werewolf thing!"
She knows! Our mate is so intelligent, thought Karan, while his wolf tried to resist kicking Karan down to south, right at the main point, but he couldn't. Call yourself unlucky?
"Oh you know! You got that right!" smiled Karan.
"So, you are a werewolf?" smiled Shilpa.
"Yes."
"You came here, sniffing around, because my cabin smelled "sinfully delicious"?"
"It was you. It's a mate's scent. That's how we recognize are mates."
"Oh! So, I am your mate?"
"Yes, you are!"
"And now, you want me to accept you, love you unconditionally and then that mating process and you'll bite me."
"Oh yes! Exactly. I am glad you know about all this." Grinned Karan.
Suddenly Shilpa's expressions changed, a moment before she was all smiles and now, she looked serious like never before.
"Listen mister, your case is extreme. You'll need therapy sessions for this, I'll make a schedule for you and set up your appointments. And no more werewolf movies, books or stuff from now! I have treated many cases like yours, some act like vampires, some wolves and god knows what they imagine they are, but your case seems to be extreme, you are now calling me your mate. Here are some medicines, and a DVD of meditation process, these will help you a lot! We'll meet at the next session then, tomorrow at 11:30 in the morning. OK." Said Shilpa.
Feeling perplexed, Karan asked, "You don't believe me?"
"Oh, I do! I know you are bored of this life and you want to escape into something and all, and this werewolf thing gave you what you wanted. Now go, relax and sleep, we'll meet tomorrow."
Not wanting to anger his mate and wanting to go and meet Seher and her doctor, Karan stood up and left Shilpa's cabin, and walked according to the directions given to him by the receptionist.
Told you idiot! She thinks, no scratch that, she believes you are a psycho. Listen up man, I need my mate and you better not mess it up tomorrow. Make her believe that we are real, try everything you can!
Karan rolled his eyes, pushing the door open to Seher's room, where the doctor stood, asking her some questions.
"Hey" he smiled, entering the room.
"Hey" both Seher and the doctor replied.
Karan moved closer to Seher's bed and caressed her cheek, "How are feeling kiddo?"
"I am fine. It isn't hurting now." Seher replied.
"Doctor, now what? What are the chances?" asked Karan, holding Seher's hand.
The doctor (lady doctor) eyed him lustfully, at which Karan cringed and asked the question again, this time in his Alpha voice.
The doctor sobered up and replied, "I am sorry, the chances are rare. Our treatment can only stretch her life expectancy a little but there is no way, she'll survive."
Karan growled protectively, scaring the doctor. The doctor left the two of them, literally running away, scared of Karan. Seher tried not to cry, while Karan held her tight in his embrace.
"Nothing will happen to you! I won't let you go away." assured Karan.
"I am fine Dad. I believe you." Replied Seher, hugging Karan as tight as she could.
After few minutes, Seher broke their embrace and wiped Karan's tears. Trying to lighten up his mood, she asked the obvious, "So, I guess you found your mate."
Karan smiled and then frowned, "How do you know?"
"Well, you never cringed away from a female's advances before and never used your Alpha voice on any of them. Just a wild guess, it was, you confirmed it."
"Smarty pants!" scowled Karan, making Seher laugh.
"So, how's she like. Is she a werewolf, a vampire or something? Or is she human? You told her about mates stuff and all?" blabbed Seher.
"Calm down sweetie, calm down." Said Karan.
"Tell me." Seher demanded.
"Well.." Karan started to explain how and where he found his mate, and what she now thoughts about him and all. Completely and in an elaborate manner.
Seher cracked up laughing hard, while Karan's face was red because of embarrassment and a little blushing.
"Dad..you...are..incredible.." Seher managed to say, in between laughing.
"Wasn't my big idiot furry wolf enough, that you too are mocking me?" pouted Karan.
"You are such a baby!" smiled Seher and continued, "You wolf is right Dad, you should listen to him. He might give you some ideas."
My daughter is so intelligent, she knows I am better than you psycho.
Our daughter, and stop calling me a psycho, stupid animal.
"Dad, you should try hard to make her believe that you indeed are real. Show her your original form then, show her your wolf." Seher suggested.
I agree, I want my mate, as soon as possible. My mate.
Our mate. She's mine too. And for you king information, you and me are one buddy!
My bad luck, I am stuck inside the most stupid human ever.
Karan scowled at his wolf's remarks. Seher laughed again, seeing Karan scowling. She knew that Karan's wolf irritates him like hell.
Seeing his daughter laughing freely, Karan smiled and thought, "She's too young and beautiful to die, I lost my family and now my daughter, my lovely daughter is ill too. Is there any way she'll survive?"
Unintentionally Karan's thought wandered to the werewolves book of history, their history. Only if, Seher founds herself a werewolf mate, then only she can be cured, or a vampire? No never a vampire. Karan remembers the day he came to know that Seher is suffering from a brain tumour, he had asked his best friend, Pancham, a vampire to turn Seher into a vampire, in order to save her life but Seher had refused. She didn't wanted to be a blood drinking walking dead!
Karan sighed lightly, as he saw, Seher sleeping soundly. He frowned, looking at the wall clock, he realized that he had been thinking to himself, from the past 2 hours, long time, that's why Seher had slept and he didn't knew.
Tucking her properly in her hospital bed, Karan made his way outside the room to fetch a bottle of mineral water. Reaching the cafeteria he saw, Shilpa, his beautiful mate, relishing the extra large cheese burger. A smile formed on his face, seeing his adorable mate.
He walked towards Shilpa, who was extremely busy eating. Clearing his throat, in a way asking for attention, Karan sat on the chair opposite to Shilpa.
"Hey! Remember me? My name is Karan."
Shilpa frowned seeing him there, and asked, "You here? I thought you left."
"I didn't. Actually I can't."
"Why?"
"My, da-, I mean, my sister is admitted here. She's suffering from brain tumour." Karan replied, smiling weakly.
"Oh, I am so sorry!" said Shilpa, placing her hand on Karan's that lead to sparks tingle through their bodies. Shilpa moved her hand back, scared of this new feeling.
"It's OK, it's just that the doctors are saying that nothing can cure her now and.." trailed off Karan, crying.
Shilpa scooted her chair closer to Karan's and placed a hand on his shoulder, "..and the worst part is that I am not able to cure her too." Said Karan.
"There's no way you could do that!"
"There is! Damn the Werewolves Laws"
"Again with the werewolves' thing. There isn't anything like that!"
"There is, I am one!"
"Karan..!"
"Listen Shilpa.." sighed Karan, "..you need to listen carefully and understand this! I am a werewolf, I am for over 500 years!"
That scared off Shilpa for sure, but being the feisty creature she was, she said, "Prove it!"
Karan sighed once again and replied, "Come." He held out his hand for Shilpa and gestured her to follow him. And that's what she did.
It was dark, cause it was night. It was really dark, cause the hospital was surrounded by trees, and was situated at the borderline of a forest.
"You better not do something stupid and bad, for you to know, I am expert in kung-fu." Karan chuckled at Shilpa threat. She was trying to scare of a werewolf by her kung-fu acts!
Looking here and there, Karan checked if there was anyone else, except them. Making sure, no one is seeing them, Karan started to shed off his clothes.
"My poor innocent eyes!" shrieked Shilpa. "Why are you shedding off your clothes? Help!!"
"Ssshh..." shushed Karan, putting his hand on Shilpa's mouth. Shilpa's eyes widened, when she noticed that Karan was completely naked, from head to toe, just like the day, he was born.
Heat rose up her cheeks, as Karan's naked body was pressed against her fully clothed one. Karan let out a pleasured growl that had a hint of possessiveness in it. Mine, mine, he chanted, before stepping back, but still covering Shilpa's mouth with his hand.
"I'll not hurt you in any way, I promise." There was something in his voice and his eyes that made Shilpa believe him. "Now, I'll remove my hand from your mouth, promise me you won't scream."
Shilpa nodded in positive and Karan stepped away. He gestured with his fingers, to Shilpa, to look at him. Karan bend on the ground and soon, Shilpa heard sounds of bones cracking and Karan's harsh breathing. Karan was changing in front of her. He was changing into a wolf. A big, very big, black wolf.
Shilpa gasped loudly, Karan had changed completely into a wolf. Now, in place of Karan, there stood, a black, completely black wolf, who was as tall as her. His eyes of the same blue color, like his human form. His fur looked spotless, clean and soft. She had this sudden desire to pet him, scratch his ears and cuddle up to him.
Shilpa's thoughts were interrupted by a whimpering sound coming from the wolf. Shilpa looked intently at him. Karan, actually Karan's wolf looked scared, contemplating whether she would accept him or not. His eyes looked pleading, as he lay on the ground on his belly, and covered his face using his front paws. Shilpa tried her best not to "Aaww.." at the sight in front of her, the wolf was adorable.
Taking cautious steps, Shilpa gave into her desire of petting him and sat beside him.
"Hey" she said, petting Karan's wolf's head. The wolf raised his head and looked at Shilpa, "So you actually are real."
The wolf nodded his head. "You can understand what I said?" the wolf rolled his eyes and nodded once again. "So..that means that all you said was true. You are a werewolf and I am your mate!" gasped Shilpa and the wolf nodded his head once again.
"This is..this..this is...amazing." she said, and the wolf snorted, placing his head on Shilpa's lap. Shilpa accepted that easily and didn't flinched or got scared. She started scratching his ears with her nails, lightly as ever and ran her fingers through his soft and silky fur. Karan's wolf made a purring sound, which made Shilpa giggle. The wolf nuzzled Shilpa's stomach, making her giggle again. And together the lay, cuddled up, on the ground. Karan's wolf was like a warm blanket to Shilpa's body. The day ended with them being together like this, but there's more to the story!
