Recap.

"Mate," Manik spoke there was no sign of exhaustion on his face only eagerness.

Nandini who's shoulder was rudely pulled looked up to see the same brown eyes which haunted her dreams.

________________

"What?" Nandini questioned. Before she could pull herself back Manik hugged her tightly with his wolf strength.

He inhaled her scent which smelled like lemons and fresh mint.

"You! Leave her." Inaya screamed seeing them like that. She tried to pull Manik away from Nandini but he didn't even budge. Seeing this Cabir mind linked the guards to evacuate everyone so that they could talk alone. Inaya was also dragged out by Navya telling it was for a reason.

The airport was emptied in just a few seconds.

"Finally." He whispered while Ray purred bringing Nandini back to reality.

Nandini used her wolf strength to push him back. Manik looked at her confused.

"Look, you have a major misunderstanding. I am not who you think." Nandini spoke with disbelief written on her face.

"But, you are my mat-"

"I am not your MATE ok. I can't be." She spoke cutting him off. She looked at him whose head was hung low.

He couldn't believe it. What did she just say?

Is this his punishment? For not going to her before.

"I- I am sorry Nandini. I know it's my fault that I didn't come to you all these years. But Please." He pleaded with his earnest voice but all he saw was confusion.

"What are you talking about?" Nandini whispered in a low tone.

"You- you are my mate?" He said it more like a question.

"Don't you feel it? Our connection." He said holding her hand.

She felt the warmth, the comfort of his hand, a sudden secure feeling overtook her for a moment before she pulled her hand away.

"No." She spoke as she moved away from him. Manik just stood there looking at her with a sense of loss.

"Wait, please. Don't leave me. I am sorry, really." He apologized continuously. Nandini sighed.

She went near him and stopped one step away.

"Don't apologize." She spoke.

I don't know what to say to him. Mate? But I am the chosen one and chosen ones don't have mates, right Ray?

Nandini asked.

*I am as shocked as you Nandini. I knew something was up but I never expected this.* Ray spoke as she felt the connection with Ryan.

"But I can't be your mate," Nandini spoke while Manik looked at her confused.

"Why can't you?" He asked while Nandini averted her eyes.

"It's just that I can't. Please leave me alone." She spoke while Manik looked at her with hurt written clearly in his eyes.

"Leave you alone?"
