"The Sudden Visitor and The Shock"

Roshni's pov

Great Just Great!

Now that guy is threatening me also!
Why can't he just back out?

I have been so distant and reserved around him, yet he is dominating me!

Is it always going to be like this?

Him, controlling my life?

And, what's up with him kissing me all the time? To top it all, everyone around me is hell bent on making me mates With Adhikshit!
My mind was already exhausted with this everything going around me and Adhikshit's behavior didn't help. I knew I was not going to get a proper sleep tonight. There is war going inside me between my Mind and Heart. And they both are playing games with my feelings.

Ok, now that i am alone, let me tell you all, I am not as frightened as I was when I first woke up here. Adhikshit, despite being the dominating jerk that he is, has undeniably been on my mind.
I can't deny the attraction or the fact that he is deliciously Handsome but at the same time, I want my life from before.

I want to be the same old carefree Roshni who had no worries in the world.

My two brothers, an old crazy granny, a house full of books and a few music tunes were my entire world.

I didn't ask for a life like this. Here people have expectations from me. They are putting in a position where I am not sure I can fulfill their needs.
And so, to act on the defense mechanism seemed the best.
I don't want to get attached to these people and specially Adhikshit, as I know we are no match. But still he is adamant to keep me here, with him... With his prides.
Why can't he just let me go after I have blatantly rejected his claims? - my brain stormed

Because you are his chosen mate! - my heart spoke out

Don't deny those tingles Roshni! - it added beating fast

Get the hell out of my thoughts! - I cursed

Well, I am you!
Whether you like it or not, I am going to put front my opinion. And Adhikshit has been nothing but patient with you.
And he is undeniably Handsome!
You know you can't even deny that! - my heart again mocked

Oh you just shit up! - I spoke to myself

There was a silence at both my heart and my brain when I sucked in a deep breath.

And then an inner voice came -

Roshni, on a serious note, you should think about this whole situation with an open heart and mind.
Nothing happens for no reasons.!
You have got powers and it is useful for these people. You saw what you can do with your power.
These jungle occupants, however mighty they look on outside, they are all vulnerable and they need you.

They need the protection!
Give Adhikshit a fair chance, you never know what you are in for.

May be this is what your destiny is!
Don't Fight this!

Give him a Chance!
May be he is the One for you!

Puzzles, I tried to concentrate on the voice, to figure out who was it... But I guess my eyelids were tired and ready to consume sleep and may be I was self interacting just like the previous times.

I sighed and closed my eyes and welcomed the coziness of the fluffy blanket and soon I guess, I was snoring!

Hey, that's what my brothers say!

Oh, how I miss them!
I wish, I wake up to see them!

Few hours Later

The best of this place is that it is surrounded by numerous incredible scenic beauty.
And the view that I get early morning from this room can not be described by words.

It's just so Beautiful!

The last night was all about tossing and turning for me, just the way I had assumed.

It was hard to sleep but I think I finally managed a couple of hours.

And now, I am sitting on one of the beautifully crafted stool, looking out of the window which has now become my favourite place to sit as the scenic beauty of mother nature ahead of it gives me peace.

I was pondering over the thoughts from yesterday but then suddenly I am hearing voices....more like cries.?

What is it? - my mind wondered

Who is crying so painfully Early this morning? - I wondered

I walked towards the gallery outside the room and then halted hearing someone sobbing -

We want to meet the new Queen, please Queen Lakshmi!
She can do something with her powers!
Please save my child Queen Lakshmi!
King Singha vowed to take care of him....bu...but......i have a feeling something is very wrong with my kid.....God forbid if something happens to him....i will kill myself!

Who is this person?
And what happened to her kid?? - I walked ahead to see the commotion but sucked in a nervous breath when I heard Lakshmi aunty say -

She.... She is not that powerful Bharti! I wish I could help you!
Kimba is really special to us all and king Singha will do everything in his power to keep him safe.
B...but I am not sure about Roshni....she might not like this....she is not willing to help....from what I have observed from her past behavior. And I don't think I can pressurise her, I.... I am so sorry!

And that felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart. Of course I behaved like a stubborn girl but I am not heartless. If my powers can heal this child, I won't think twice.
But yes, hearing someone say the opposite hurt but I can't blame her. I never gave her or Adhikshit any reasons to trust me with her people.

But, I am willing to help if they allow me to. With that, I walked in front of them and asked -

What's going on?

Then I saw eyes on me!

Especially Adhikshit's cold red eyes!
He looked mad but he didn't utter a word. I looked at my feet scared from his powerful aura and then my eyes fell on an injured lion, more like a cub. It was full of blood and his breathing was almost gone and a lady was crying putting it's head on her lap, may be his mother???

Can someone please tell me what is going on? Why is this cub smeared in Blood? - I asked nervously

Queen, please save my Child!
I beg of you!
I will be your slave forever! - the mother cried looking at me

Roshni, dear!
The cub has been shot... He.... He was not aware of our boundaries and unaware ran out of our borders then some heartless human hunter shot him.! - replied aunty Lakshmi

But why is he still in his cub form? - I asked

He is half Singha Roshni... And a little too young to face the heat, so he can not shift to human form yet.
He hasn't started with his training as he is too young. - replied aunty

And my heart sank at the sight and her words, how cruel can someone be to shoot a harmless cub?
Was there no conscience in them?

How could someone hurt an innocent cub like this?
He was too young to shot at! - my heart cried hearing the little grunt that left the club's mouth

I walked upto to the mother and spoke - am so sorry about your baby...B... But please tell me how can I help you?

Look, I am not a doctor....but I am willing to help! - I spoke blinking away the tears

My queen, you have powers to heal, we saw how you healed the deer in few seconds, two days ago.
Please do something to save my son too!
He doesn't deserve to die at this early age queen!

I could feel Adhikshit's eyes on me, I don't know why but I looked up and saw him, our eyes locked....and I swear I saw hope in his eyes. He seemed disturbed and he was genuinely worried about the cub. Time was passing and I was not sure if my supposed power would help.... I was certainly nervous....i would do anything in my power to make the cub feel better but I would not be able to take the guilt if I did something wrong.

I finally inhaled deep and looked at Adhikshit again and to my surprise, he nodded at me with a weak smile....i felt a hand on my shoulder, this was Lakshmi aunty, she encouraged me and my hands Shivered as I tried to concentrate to active the powers.

I... I... Ok!
Let me check! - I stuttered feeling the heat in my hands

I sat putting the cub in my lap and he watched me helpless....his pain was visible.....i didn't even realise, I was crying.
I tried a half smile to assure him and gently caressed his head and just like the last time, my hands turned into shining diamonds and his wounds slowly began to heal.

The heat was low but still I could feel it was working. I concentrated more on his wounds and then I felt a connection between the two of us. The cub rubbed his head in my stomach as if he was seeking comfort and I let him.

I realised, it was the connection that was important to form for my powers to increase. And just like the last time, the intensity increased and his wounds began to heal fast.

Within a few minutes, the bleeding stopped and the area where the bullet pierced, began to mold back to it's natural skin.

I released a breath of relief when Kimba opened his eyes without any difficulties.

The crowd around us cheered and the mother sobbed and caressed his head. Her eyes met mine and they were respectful and she began to bow in front of me.

I shook my head at her to stop from doing so, feeling conscious as I didn't like the fact that she was considering me someone above her.
I said - Please don't do this.!
You are elder to me and a mother.
Besides, Kimba here is a fighter.
He won his fights on his own!

Kimba's eyes glowed and I frowned.

He can hear you! - spoke Adhikshit sitting beside me
In return, I smiled at the brave cub and ruffled his baby hair.

After sometime, We took him inside for normal check ups with their doctors. I stood there watching them do their work and adhikshit stood by my side and honestly I felt safe with his presence.

You did Great mate!
Made me Proud! - he spoke smiling at me

And my stomach did a flip!
Lately, his smiles have been growing on me!

I looked at his face when he slightly brushed his knuckles against my arm.

And again those Tingles were Back!

Guess, his potion is working!
Or, rather he is eventually growing on me!

But then something shocking happened!

Adhikshit Raj Singhal!
Come out right this moment, you liar!

Where is my Roshni!?!
I m asking you for the last time... Where is my sister?
What did you all do to her?

My eyes widened at the realisation and Adhikshit's brows narrowed, words flew out from my mouth -

B... Bhai...???
A....Ad...Adarsh Bhai???

Hola guys!

So how was the shock?
A true brother can go to any extend to protect his sister, isn't it true!

Adarsh is going to do the same or is he going to become a victim of Adhikshit's powers.

But How did he manage to reach the castle?
Was he a pawn of something vicious?
