Manan ~ His Human Mate

22.

Hello!

I am really sorry for the late update but I was really busy. I'll try to update the next chapter soon. Pakka vala promise!

Abhimanyu ran behind Madhyam and saw him standing by the lake at their pack borders. He reached there and stood by his side silently.

*****

"Dad, I am tired. Can we do this tomorrow?" Madhyam held the rope tied around his waist and looked back at the boat he had to pull. 

"Nope" Abhimanyu answered on their dad's behalf and leisurely leaned back in the boat and took a sip from his beer can.

Madhyam let out a low growl of annoyance, before swimming over to the rope and pulling the boat. 

"You boys are so weak. You got tired in just 3 laps. At your age, I used to do 5 laps with such ease."

Madhyam sighed and tried to let himself float for a few minutes, but Abhi tossed a half-eaten apple at him. 

"Asshole" Madhyam cursed and started pulling again and both of them laughed sitting in the boat.

"Where's dad?" Abhi asked

"Atlantic. Hunting Polar Bears" 

"This time for what?"

"He thought of stitching a rug for mom. So what is better than the polar bear to keep her warm." 

"How does mom even see something like that as romantic?" 

They both looked at each other. "Wait till you find your mate." Both of them said together and laughed. 

"She still says that," said Abhimanyu.

Both of them stood in silence. 

"Thank you," Abhi said

"I wish I could hate you."

"Thank you for taking me out of there." 

Madhyam looked at him. "I was doing my duty as gamma. I brought you because you were spying on luna." Abhi passed a smile to him. "You didn't learn to lie yet." 

Madhyam ignored him. 

"How many times do you think mom will hit me with a stick?"

"I wish not less than 100."

"Sadist"

Cabir mind linked Madhyam. "Maddy can you come to packhouse right now. I need to discuss something." 

"Cabir is calling me. You go and meet mom."  

"Alone?" Abhi looked scared and Madhyam smirked.

"See you later, coward" Maddy shouted running away. 

*****

Mukti and Alya were chilling in their room.

"Mukti, 1 week and you will be 18." Alya shrieked.

Mukti passed a small smile to her. Alya noticed this and side hugged her.

"Mukti, do you still think Abhi might be your mate?"

"Him leaving the pack doesn't mean he won't be my mate," replied Mukti. "But it doesn't matter Alya, because I'll not know as he isn't here." Mukti sat on the couch and started crying.

"If he is meant to be yours then he will find a way back to you." Alya hugged her and Mukti continued crying.
