15. Tell me!
Hello sweeties.
Sorry, the update was delayed. I had an exam so I was preparing for it.
Hope you understand.
Have fun reading.
_______________
Next morning.
Nandini woke up early which was unusual. But not as unusual as getting a mate out of nowhere.
*Nandu what are you going to do about 'Him'?* Ray spoke while Nandini sighed.
I don't know Ray, I was thinking of asking Amms. Maybe she would know.
She thought as she took her phone and dialed Amms number.
Phone conversation.
"Hello."
"Amms, It's me, Nandini." She spoke.
"Oh dear, did something happen? You never wake up this early." While Nandu pouted.
"Amms~" She spoke making her chuckle.
"Alright, tell me what's wrong."
"Amms, I think I have a mate?" She spoke more like a question than a statement.
"Oh my! Really?"
"Yes?"
"Why do I feel that you sound unconvinced?"
"Maybe because I am." She spoke with a tightlipped smile.
"Oh, Dear! You are not sure. But why?" Amms spoke, her voice was soothing to hear.
"You know that I am a chosen one right. In our tradition, when a king is born without a mate, they choose a person who has no mate to be the chosen one. This was the boon by the moon goddess so that they both can find peace in each other. But now all of a sudden, I have a mate. I can feel the bond but I am confused. Because I should not have a mate.
I don't know if this is temporary or someone's sorcery. Can this really happen?" She asked, her voice filled with anxiety.
"Calm down my dear, I have no answer for your question right now. But I can find it." She said. A glimmer of hope could be seen in Nandini's eyes which soon went away as she realized something.
"But the answer would only be in Carnia. You cannot go to Carnia, If they find you, they will burn you. I won't allow that." Nandini spoke angrily.
"Common, I won't go there to be burnt of course. I can sprout a spell and bring the books here." Amms said in a duh tone making Nandini chuckle.
"Alright but don't get caught stealing," Nandini spoke while Amms widened her eyes.
"Steal? Whose stealing? I am just borrowing in a respectful manner." She spoke in disbelief making Nandini laugh.
"But It will take a little time," Amms added while Nandini hummed.
"I really hope you find an answer." She spoke.
"DIIIII!" Rishab shouted from the other side.
"Rishu! You are up?" Nandini questioned while Rishab giggled.
"Yes, today I have magic practice so I had to wake up early."
"Wow! that's so cool." Nandini exclaimed while Rishab giggled again.
"When are you coming di?"Rishab asked.
"Soon enough Rishu." She spoke vaguely while Rishab pouted.
"Rishab, don't sulk. Your di has a lot of work and she is trying to complete it quickly. You need to do the same. Now say bye we need to train today." Amms spoke while Rishab pouted even more.
"Bye di." He whispered while Nandini felt sad.
"Bye Rishu, I will try to come back quickly ok." She said while Rishab shouted Ok with a smile and went away.
"Alright, Amms call me if you find something." She spoke and bid bye.
*Maybe with this she could find her own happily ever after.* Amms thought as she looked at the phone which Nandini bought for her.

Things were almost back to normal for Nandini except with Manik of course. She continued to wait for Amms reply while she did her concerts. Although one thing was weird. Manik was showing up where ever she went and that too at the right time when she needed something. It was like he was following her.
But that's an absurd thought right? How can the king be free enough to follow her everywhere?
.
.
.
Ok, she was wrong he was indeed following her.
Four days later.
Nandini woke up due to the sudden tapping on her door.
She looked at the time it was 8:00.
I bet it's Inaya... I need to talk with her about my schedule...
She thought as she stood up.
*It's not Inaya nandu. It's Manik.* Ray spoke as she already sensed him standing out.
Really?
*Yup.*
Nandini sighed and opened the door while Manik smiled at her widely.
"Good morning. Did you have a good sleep?" He asked handing her a cup of coffee as he entered into her room.
"Hey! You can't come in like that." Nandini said frowning as she followed him. Manik plopped on her bed.
"I just did." He spoke smiling at her sweetly while Nandini rolled her eyes.
"Manik." She warned while Manik held his heart.
"Call me like that once again." He said while Nandini chuckled.
"You feel it don't you?" He asked while Nandini sighed.
"Can't we avoid this?"
"You know we can't. I like you." Manik said while Nandini pursed her lips together.
"Manik I need time."
"How much time? Why can't you just tell me?" His voice sounded dull, almost lifeless.
I can't tell him yet. I need confirmation.
*But you can't keep avoiding him!* Ray growled while Nandini felt the urge to pull her hair.
Just wait until Amms finds something.
Nandini spoke to Ray while she blocked her.
Ray is getting really moody nowadays. I know she feels that Manik is our mate but I still need to confirm.
*What's there to confirm? He is right in front of you. Why are you hiding from him?* Ray spoke. She felt the bond whenever Manik came near her in these four days so she knew for sure he is our mate.
I just don't want to repeat what happened with Harshad. We thought he was the one but he wasn't. I don't want my heart to be broken again.
Nandini said finally while Ray remained silent.
Manik who was sitting on the bed observed her silent conversation with her wolf.
"Look Nandini, I will wait for you. I am willing to but please don't avoid me." He said as he held her hand while Nandini looked at him. His eyes seem to have become her favorite view.
She tightened her grip on his hand as it felt safe and warm.
"Wait for a little more Manik, I will come to you." She spoke while Manik took a deep breath.
"Come to me, I will be waiting." He said standing up. He hugged her tightly inhaling her scent.
He slowly released her and walked out of the room.
I hope it turns out well.
Nandini thought as she looked at her phone.
Somewhere in her heart, after spending all this time with him.
She hoped that Manik would be her mate.
