My beauty my curse

Ch 30

Nandini woke up not feeling Manik's warmth in her body. She woke up and tried looking around in the cave but not finding Manik a sudden terror started building in her mind. She tried mind linking him but fails to get a hold of Manik

Manik where are you? Please be safe pata nahi mera dil itna kyu dhabra raha hai

"Rise and Shine Princess! Kab se tumhare uthne ka wait kar rahe the. I hope you got a good night sleep"

Nandini's terror became reality when she heard his voice! The voice she hated the most

Where is Manik, Harshad!

"C'mon Nandini! Tumhe aab hamare barey ma baat karni chahiye not about that loser. He is still alive but not for too long. Come let's go together to meet him"

Harshad drags her out where she sees Manik was tied to the tree with a silver wire sound his body. His whole body was bleeding

"Harshad be a man and fight with me"

"Matlab abhi bhi akad nahi gai. Nandini do you know the silver wire that you are looking at has mercury in it. The only thing that can kill the werewolf (It is just a fiction). It will give your Manik slow and painful death"

Harshad, leave him!

Harshad pulled her to him and started nuzzling his face on her neck. Nandini started to wiggle out from his hold and on the other side Manik tries to get out of the wires

"Aur apni shaktiyo ko use karne ke bare mein sochna bhi matt. You know I can't be killed but Manik; he can be killed and I will kill him. If you do not want to see him hurt just follow what I say"

Nandini doesn't listen to him. Just save yourself and run and never look back, said Manik

Manik, I can't leave you like this!

Aww.... so much love! But alas, Manik my friend you have to die, Harshad spill venom

Nandini slowly started to chant something under her breath and kept looking at Manik. Suddenly the wind started blowing indicating the thunderstorm that is coming next

"Nandini I warned you to not use your magic. Manik will have to suffer the consequences" yelled Harshad pissed

Nandini didn't stop the chanting and closed her eyes to focus on something. Harshad's army started torturing Manik; with every scream of Manik; Nandini started sweating. Feeling the heat in her body Nandini knew she was close, she just needed to focus ..... With a sudden blow Nandini screamed and a big blow of fire came out from her mouth. Harshad's army got scared looking at the scene.

Nandini turned herself in THE FIRE. Her whole body was in a flaming fire. She marched towards Manik and none of Harsha's army were able to stop her. She caress Manik's face lovingly surprisingly her fire didn't burn Manik. Nandini held the wire and screamed again. With the heat the wire started melting; after couple minutes the wire melted and Manik was of the hold

Harshad tum kuch bhi kar lo par mere Manik ko chu bhi nahi skate!

Harshad indicated one of his men and with a smirk on his face looked towards Nandini: Game over Nandini!

"Aaahh................."

Nandini turned to look at Manik's body which was on the floor with a stabbed dagger on his back. She went to him and look at the dagger

"You know which dagger is that right Nandini. The same 500 year old dagger that I killed your Manik from and see today after 500 years he is stabbed with the same dagger. The history is repeating again Nandini; this same day I killed him 500 years ago and today he will die again. After his death; I will be the most powerful werewolf of our kind. Even if you take out the dagger from his back you know you won't be able to save him"

Nandini pulled the dagger out and touched her wound; it did nothing. All the times in the past she would just touch his wound and it would be all fine. No one could tell if he was injured. Why is it not happening today? Nandini tears dropped on his wound and still nothing happened

Manik please be with me okay? Keep your eyes open.

Nandini we'll meet again! Wait for me in the next life, whispers Manik's lovingly looking at Nandini

Harshad mouth escaped the evil laugh looking at the drama going on

Nandini's vision got blurry. Manik's words started ringing in her head again and again. Harshad's evil laugh started giving some blurry visions in front of her. Some of the flashbacks she was getting started to clear in front of her eyes

Moon Goddess please save My Manik!

Suddenly Nandini fainted on Manik

Flashback

Guru ji: Aakhir kar tumhe apna wardaan prapt kar hi liya Harshad!

Harshad laughed: Aab mujhe koi nahi hara sakta! Mein amar hu!

Guru ji: Par tum amar nahi....

Harshad: Guru ji kabhi kisi ko pata nahi chalega ki meri jaan ek astra mein chupi hai. Aur woh astra meri naabhi (navel) mein kaid hai. Mujhe marne ke liye phele meri jaan ko meri naabhi (navel) se nikalna hoga.

Guru ji: Aab aagey kya?

Harshad: Aab mujhe Nandini chahiye!

Guru ji: Par woh toh tumhari mate nahi hai Harshad. Tum dono ka milan aasambhav hai

Harshad: Agar Manik raste se hatt gaya tab toh sambhav hai nah?

Guru ji looked at him confused

Harshad: Guru ji Nandini tino tatvo ki guni hai Jal, wayu aur agni (Water, air and fire) Nandini ke sath mein iss purey brahmaan mein raaj kar sakta hu. Usse abhi tak apni shaktiyo ka ehsaas nahi hai aur yahi sahi mauka hai Nandini ko apna banane ka

Guru ji: Par Manik toh sabse shakti shali werewolf hai tum usse kaise jitoge?

Harshad: Aap bhool rahe ho Guri ji ki mujhe koi maar nahi sakta. Aur Manik ko harane ka plan hai
—-----------
Harshad attacked Manik's pack and started killing the innocent village people. He later challenged Manik for war. At the war Manik was undefeatable and hence Harshad decides to win the war the other way. He asked his people to kidnap Nandini. Harshad and Manik were still in the war field trying to win against each other. Later Nandini was dragged to the war field by Harshad's army.

"Harshadd........ We don't involve women in the war" screamed Manik looking at Nandini being dragged in the war zone

She is very much involved in this fight. It all started for her. I WANT HER and I will make her mine after killing her

Manik attacked Harshad angrily. How dare he look at her mate with those lusty eyes! Manik ordered his army to finish the war soon! NO ONE SHOULD BE ALIVE were his strict orders. He got baffled and shocked to see his army moving backwards and not listening to him

See Manik! It's all about power! Now they are not your army but MINE! They listen to me.

He ordered them to finish Manik. All the army started attacking Manik. Manik started fighting with hundreds of soldiers singlehanded. He was bruised; got cuts and even got stabbed but he can't lose without a fight! NO ONE TAKES HIS MATE AWAY FROM HIM!

After witnessing the war for a good 30 minutes Harshad got angry. How is Manik still holding up against hundreds of soldiers? He knew Manik is the strongest of his kind but he was aware that Manik and Nandini haven't completed the mating process which makes it easier to break their tie.

While Manik was fighting with hundreds of them, Harshad took the silver dagger and stabbed Manik's back. Harshad took the dagger out and stabbed again; again and again till he felt Manik's is losing his conscious and fell on the ground

Manik...... Nandini cried and screamed but Harshad's army didn't leave her

Let her be! Come Nandini say the final goodbye to your mate!

Nandini ran to Manik and took his head on her lap

Manik you can't leave me! You promised forever with me!

Harshad looked at them with bored face: I am giving you 5 minutes to cry and all but after that you are coming with me

Harshad moved to the other side to thank someone. Without his help the war would have been hard to win

"Nandini we'll meet again! Wait for me in the next life" whispers Manik's lovingly looking at Nandini

Nandini kissed his forehead "Without you there is no meaning of my existence Manik! I will see you soon in the other side"

With that she took the dagger out from Manik's back and stabbed her heart. She took the dagger out and stabbed again, and again till she lost her consciousness and fell on Manik's body mercilessly.

Harshad came back after a few minutes and got shook to see Nandini lying lifeless over Manik's body. He pulled her body to check if she is even alive.

H: Burn him ashes

He then took Nandini in his arms and ran to see Guru ji
—---------
H: Guruji why is she not getting up? She is the ultimate power so the silver dagger shouldn't affect her

Harshad, she hasn't recognized her powers yet. Her mate, her better half is dead, that makes her half dead too. She stabbed her heart with the same dagger that her mate was stabbed with. Do you know what that means?

H: What does it mean Guru ji?

It means Moon Goddess chose them together to rule the universe. He is the strongest of his kind and she is the ultimate power. They are meant to be together. This lifetime they couldn't be together so they chose death over living alone. They will be back again to complete their incomplete love saga

H: Re-birth you mean?

Yes, they will take another birth to meet again. Harshad the power that you are craving for is hard to come by. You must put everything at risk to get what you want

H: Everything risk is worth the ultimate power to rule over the universe Guru ji

Flashback end

Present
Nandini woke up with a jerk. She looks around to see where she is? Was that a dream or reality? It looked so real. Now she understood why Harshad wants her so badly and why she is getting those flashes. This all happened 500 years ago the same but today the result will be different. Nandini looked at Manik's lifeless face and kissed her forehead

Manik please hang on. I found a way to kill Harshad. I want you to get up; get up for me for our love. We can't let him win AGAIN! This is our war and we will win this time!
