Fated And Mated to a Leopard

Somewhere in Mexico City:

A young boy of 10 was seen given a sharp sword.

"Go and kill her, Alejandro." A very young man that would be in his early 20s told the little boy with him.

A young girl who is of the same height with the little boy was seen crying profusely as she was held by two large men dressed in Ninja's clothes, hand by hand.

"Kill her Alejandro."

"But father, she is too young to die. I can't kill her."

"Every Snow White Leopard is a strong son. If I am not strong I wouldn't have ruled this large empire after my father. Do not show your weakness, now take the damn sword and kill her."

Alejandro took the sword from his father and approached the crying girl.

"I am sorry." He whispered and cut off the girls head. Her blood splashes his body and he quickly drops the sword down.

The two Ninja holding the girl transform into black leopards and start to eat the dead girl's body.

Alejandro just watched and then something in him changed.

"Aunty Karen, what are you doing here?" Alejandro asked when he saw his mother's younger sister in his room later that night.

"I am here to take you away from this horrible nightmare." Karen, a young beautiful dark haired lady, answered.

"We can't escape from here aunty Karen, your powers can't work in this castle, remember?"

Then Karen showed the little boy an amulet around her neck which belongs to his dead mother.

"I know dear, but this powerful amulet will take us to India once we are outside the castle." Karan answered.

"And you think escaping with my son to your country will stop my gene from flowing in him?" The same young man answered, coming out of the dark shadows.

In a twinkle of an eye, Ninja's begin to come out of the dark shadows.

"Antonio, I won't stand and watch you turn my nephew into a ruthless killing beast like you." Karen said.

"He has made his first killing my dear Karen, his leopard will be needing more blood."

"His leopard won't, I will make sure of that once we are out of your life." Karen said, holding the silver amulet tightly in her hand which drew the attention of Antonio to her hands.

He forcefully took the Amulet from her neck and gave it to one of his Ninja's.

"Throw this stupid thing into the river behind the castle." He said without a care.

The Ninja took it and disappeared into the dark shadow.

"I tell you what Karen, I will allow you and my son to go, unharmed, but I assure you, his leopard will come looking for me."

Karen didn't say anything but took her nephew and fled the castle. Once she was outside, she teleported herself and her nephew to India.

"Your name is no longer Alejandro, from now henceforth, you are Niral Vanhi." Karen told her nephew.

*****

A five year old Dae, saw the silver amulet in the shallow part of a river when she and her father had gone sightseeing and she took it.

When two Rich, proud and rude captains board a ship, definitely, that sea is in trouble.

Antonio wanted Dae at all cost but she was his son's Captive.

Niral Pov

I was in the principal's large office, seated on one of his visitor's chairs and was staring at the blue painted wall behind the bald head of the principal. My school bag was resting on my knees while my feet were on his table.

I could feel the eyes of my school teacher and him in me but I didn't care.

The door to his office opened and aunty Karen stepped in.

"I had to leave what I was doing to come down to the school." Aunty Karen told the principal and took the nearest chair closer to me. "What did he do Mr Guma?"

"Your son badly beat up 10 of his seniors during lunch time and they are all in the hospital receiving treatments." Mr Guma told my aunty.

Aunty Karen had lied to the principal that I was her son when she came to register me in this fucking school.

I hate schools, my father knows this and that is why I was being homeschool by private teachers in Mexico. I am always the center of attention, I know I am not like the humans, I even look different and now coming to India where everyone has one color hair and eyes, I look like an outsider.

"You are going to pay for the boys hospital bills and caution your son not to beat those who are not his age mates. How can a little boy beat up those who are times two of his size? And the worst part of it all, he refuses to apologise to the victims parents. You don't know the amount of sorry I told them to prevent any of them involving the police."

Seems like the man doesn't know my father well to know he controls the top officers in Indian since he is into drugs.

"I am so sorry about him Mr Guma. He has anger issues." Aunty Karen apologized on my behalf.

"Then tell him to hit the walls instead of people."

"I will talk to him Mr Guma and also will pay for the bills." Aunty Karen said. "Once again I am so sorry."

"Take him home and talk some insane into him." Mr Guma said. "You have the school account number with you, right?"

"Yes Mr Guma."

"Transfer one thousand (1,000) Lakhs into the account."

"Okay Mr Guma, I will do that when I reach home. Thank you once again." She told him. "Come on Niral, let's go home."

"Why did you beat them up Niral?" Aunty Karen asked me after I had finished eating. We were in her bedroom, sitting on her bed. Aunty Karen had brought a small bungalow a month ago.

"They called me a freak Aunt Karen." I responded and stared into her eyes. "Do I really look like a freak?"

"No my dear, you are just different."

"But I don't want to be different. I want to feel belong."

"You are different but special Niral, you can't change that, just try to ignore their hurtful words and try to blend with the other kids."

"They don't want to be my friend, I have white hair as if that wasn't enough, I have white eyeballs too." I told her remembering what had happened in school. "They even called me a blind boy because of my eyes aunt."

"Niral, I want you to get mixed with the humans and know how they behave, very soon, they will know how unique you are, trust me." She told me, hugging me.

"I just wish my mum is still alive." I murmur against her neck. Karen Pov

I couldn't tell him his mother is still alive for his own safety, maybe when he is older, I will tell him why I had lied about my sister's death.

I will take care of him and make him a successful somebody. That the day my sister gets to know about him, she will live in regret.

"You know what Niral, I can use my witch power and make you a bracelet which will change the color of your eyeballs to blue, what do you say?"

I heard a soft snore coming from him which means he has fallen asleep.

I know leopards don't love but I will teach him what love truly is.

Somewhere in Mexico City;

Antonio Mansion;

Antonio was seated in his large sitting room.

"Ximena." He called out and a lady was seen running fast like a flash towards him. She stopped in front of him kneeling down with her head bow.

"Yes master."

"Go to India." Antonio told her. "Find them and report back to me."

"Yes master."

Somewhere in Seoul (Korean); Dae Pov

Staring at the lady with my father as they entered my room made me remember Meera Khandelwal from The Promise. This lady looks like someone who is after my father's money.

"Sweetheart, meet my friend, Park Min and Park Min, my beloved daughter, Dae." My father, Lee Sung, introduced us.

I rolled my eyes, friends? Did my father really think he can deceive a five year old intelligent kid like me?

Staring at Meera Khandelwal aka Park Min who wore a transparent gown that showed the color of her bra and panties.

I forced myself to smile as she did too.

"Hi." I said.

"Park, stay with my daughter, I will be right back, I just remembered I forgot important documents in my car and please Dae behave yourself." He said, giving me a pleading look before he left us.

The fake smile which we both wear was gone quickly.

"I heard you chase away your father's girlfriends, too bad for you ugly tree, I am here to stay." She told me a smirk.

"I know I was dropped on my head as a baby. But you, my friend, you were clearly flung against a wall that is why you think from your anus." I told her, going back to my apple laptop to continue watching Divine Relationship.

"For a five year old your mouth is quite sharp."

"Wow I can tell that was the smartest thing you've ever said. And trust me that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard." I told her not taking my eye off my laptop.

"Your father likes me and there is nothing you can do to change that spoilt brat." She told me.

"Hey don't talk loud, you lower the IQ of the whole estate." I told her.

This lady doesn't know me, I am more devilish than Sindoora in The Vow.

⚔️ The Promise ⚔️

....You brought me my tomorrow.....

Dae Pov

"Let's bet, you can't chase me out of here, this will become my permanent residence soon." She told me.

And I face her ignoring my favorite TV series.

"Can we do the test then? My father will chase you out once I ask him to."

"He can't do that." She said and I smiled.

We both heard the hurried footsteps of my father and I did the unthinkable.

I slapped myself hard, so hard that I know my fingerprints must be showing. And I started to cry, surprising the lady.

My father opened the door, and saw my red face and tears.

"What happened Dae?" He asked, his smiling fading.

"She slapped me because I told her I love her hair. She even said I can't afford the money used in making her hair. I want her out of this house now daddy!"

"Leave my house this minute Park." My daddy said in anger.

You see, my father doesn't joke with me nor my late mother.

"So you won't listen to my own side, I didn't slap her, she slapped herself." Park said.

"You are trying to frame up my daughter, get out of my house. I believe you know the way to your house. It is over between us." My dad told her. "You should be happy I am not calling the police for assaulting my daughter."

Park Min huffed out in annoyance and left my room and then we heard the front door slam hard.

I smirk inwardly.

"I am so sorry my dear."

"I told you no one can take the place of my mum but you refuse to listen." I told him, faking my tears the more.

"I am sorry, let me call the family doctor."

Niral Pov

I woke up the next morning and saw myself in my room. I quickly took my bath and got dressed for school, a white shot and t-shirt with sneakers. Using my nose, I followed the scent of Aunty Karen to the kitchen.

"Good morning Aunt Karen."

"Good morning Niral, how was your night?"

"Fine."

"Hope you slept well?"

"Yes aunt Karen."

"Don't hurt anyone in school today Niral, please."

"I won't."

"Good." She said with a smile and gave me cereal and milk which I quickly devour.

I thanked her and waited for her in her car, she locked the house and entered the driver seat, as passerbys came to greet her.

We were living in a small town where everybody knows everybody. Aunty Karen who has a lot of money does help the people living in the town and they respected her for that.

"Oh before I forget." She said bringing me out of my thought, she opened her purse and gave me a bracelet. "You have to wear it, it will make your eyeballs blue and also prevent you from changing into your leopard form." She told me. "You know I am not a powerful witch, that is what I can do for now."

I took the bracelet from her and wore it on my left wrist. It must have worked because she smiled widely.

"You look so handsome with those blue eyes of yours Niral."

"Thank you."

Her smile widened even more and drove me to school.

When I came back from school, I followed the school bus, I met aunty Karen with a human boy, a little bit taller than me.

"Oh, here is my nephew I have been telling you about." She said pointing at me.

"Hi, I am Niral."

"Hi, I am Rama." He introduced himself.

"Aunt Karen, who is he?"

"My son."

"Your son?"

"Yes Niral."

"How? I didn't know you have a son."

"It's a long story Niral, but I finally found him." She told me.

I let it slide. Leopards don't care.

The next day she registered him at the school I go to and we became brothers.

Everyone in the town got to know about Rama. He was always helpful to the people around and just like Aunty Karen, they began to sing his praises. I, on the other hand, was just a leopard who didn't care.

Soon days became weeks and weeks and months and it was time for our exams.

I read like I normally see the humans do, like Rama does.

When it was time for the exam, I tried my possible best.

When the results were out, I failed but Rama passed.

"Back then in Mexico, I always passed my papers." I told Aunt Karen.

"Maybe it's because those teachers were scared of your father so they allowed you to pass their subjects." She said to me.

"Let's go outside and play with the other kids." Rama told me one hot afternoon in my room.

Luckily for me, I and Rama both have separate rooms.

"I don't want to play."

"Please, I have promised them that we would come, please Niral I am begging you."

"Alright."

We entered a ten storey uncompleted building and saw some kids, about 18 of them playing football at the top of the building.

We soon joined them to play, Rama teaching me how to pass the ball to him or our team members. We won against the other team and they left the uncompleted building.

It only remained a boy from the other team and us. When we are about to go when the boy steps on Rama's toe and pushes him hard to the ground, kicking him on his legs.

"I will break these legs of yours."

I shove him away from Rama with ease and Rama stood up from the ground and hurried to meet the boy who started to run away, but Rama was quick and pushed the boy very hard, the boy slipped and fell off the building. The scent of blood reaches my nose

We heard screams and 'He is dead'.

I and Rama both looked at each other Authoress Pov

The police came and took the corpse away and handcuffed Niral.

"You killed him Niral." Karen said in anger. "I try to change you, Niral, I tried and the only way you could repay me is to kill an innocent person? I don't want to see your face ever again." She added.

The police took Niral towards their car and Niral turned to look at Rama who was trying not to cry.

Flash back:

"If you accept this, the whole town who held you to a high extreme will look down on you. Aunty Karen won't be able to take the shame. I won't allow that to happen, I will take the blame, just promise me you won't tell your mom." Niral told him.

"I promise."

End of Flashback:

The police put Niral into their car and drove off.

Juvenile Home:

"The aim of this Juvenile home is to help kids like you to reform and become useful to this society." A highly ranked police man was seen talking to the newly kids brought to the Juvenile home. Niral was among.

"You can engage yourselves in games and social activities after studies. It is all in your hands to make use of this opportunity and shape a bright future for yourselves. I wish you all the best."
