The first thing Azraiel notices about the wolf is the red eyes staring right back at him. His heart skips a beat when he notices the colour of the thick fur on the wolf’s body.BLACKBlack as in…royal…royal…which means a direct descendant of the Royals…But…The Royal family died 23 years ago…How could…Charlotte…is a Royal…The King’s daughter?Or another mutation as a result of the tragedy that happened to the Black Onyx Pack?When he is able to take his eyes off her, he notices that the other wolves are on their knees, bowing their heads to the black wolf.Azraiel is confused as hell right now. If she is indeed a royal, then he should bow down…but if…Well…he thinks to himself…here goes nothing.He steps forward and gets on his knees to bow down to her.He has no idea right now if she is indeed a royalty but he knows that that right there is his Queen, his mate and he has no freaking problem bowing down to her.With bated breath he waits for her reaction. He knows that Katya and T
Azraiel, Katya and Theo stand together at the edge of the woods with around three dozen warriors standing behind them.After Azraiel woke up Katya and Theo, they rushed to the borders to see if anyone had any idea what happened when they were unconscious. To their utter surprise, they found all the warriors unconscious. No one was harmed but they weren’t awake. They had to help them wake up. A five-minute talk with them concluded that none of them saw Charlotte shift into the black wolf. They all lost consciousness at the same time.They decided to wait for Charlotte and her pack in the woods, just in case anything goes wrong.Azraiel also received a call from his sister Ayleen and things have been fine there, to say the least. The vampires, weredragons and sirens shifted at the same as the werewolves and they too heard the howl of the black wolf. As a result, they left the Queen’s palace as soon as they heard that howl. How they managed to bypass the many spells protecting that place
Theo lifts his head a little, his eyes shine with unshed tears. He looks straight into the black wolf’s eyes and says,“Alpha!” All eyes are on the black wolf as Theo keeps kneeling down.Azraiel’s eyes play ping pong, shifting between his Gamma and his mate. Why the hell is his Gamma calling Charlotte ‘Alpha’ instead of ‘Luna’?With his breath stuck in his throat, Azraiel watches as after looking at Theo for about a minute the black wolf trudges forward and licks his cheeks, wiping the tears now streaming down from his eyes.What in the name of hell is happening?Theo bows his head and cries softly.Without another glance at him, the black wolf steps aside to stand in front of Azraiel.Pushing the scene, he saw before to the back of his mind, Azraiel leans down to hug his mate. His nostrils flare as her intoxicating scent enters his nose. Mhmm…Much more powerful and strong.His wolf’s relief is evident as his mate rubs her muzzle in his neck, marking him with his scent. He plants a
She is home! He is her home!Azraiel pulls her inside his office and takes her sit on the couch, making her sit on his lap. His face rets in the crook of her neck and he breathes in deeply.“Are you okay?” He asks her lightly.“Mhmm…I am now.” She places a kiss on the top of his head.“Good.” He pulls back to look into her eyes.A smile slowly etches on his face.“You look stunning.” Azraiel whispers. He wasn’t lying. Charlotte was practically glowing. It was still her but somehow more beautiful, if that was possible. Her face now had a certain tightness and sharpness that it didn’t before. Her eyes looked bigger and sharper, probably her vision has altered too. She was dressed in a simple black sweatshirt and a blue denim but to him, she looked exquisite.Charlotte smiles in return. “Please tell me I didn’t hurt you…or anyone?” She asks, her smile slowly wiping away.Azraiel understands her concern immediately and shakes his head with confidence and conviction painted on his face. “N
Charlotte woke up to an empty bed. Immediately, she mindlinked Azraiel to confirm if he was at the packhouse and yes he was.She felt like she needed a coffee so she brewed one cup for herself and slowly sipped on it while looking at the woods from the balcony in her room. There were warriors stationed all around her house and she knew it was Azraiel’s doing. She was fine with it.The moment she woke up from her sleep, she has been thinking hard about only one thing. The whole ordeal with Theo left her confused and conflicted. She doesn’t want to hurt Azraiel but she also has no control over Theo’s decision.Theo is Azraiel’s best friend and Gamma, so how can he be her Beta? Why did she feel that connection with Theo when all along she felt like Nicholas was her Beta? She has a lot of questions but no answers. Worst of all, she doesn’t feel bad about Theo being her Beta. She has always felt at ease around him, almost as if he was her brother. He cheered her up when she felt down, he w
“It-It’s Wolfsbane.”Both Azraiel and Theo knew what was in the pouch even before Charlotte opened it. That’s why Azraiel pushed it out of her hands.Since she too is now a wolf, wolfsbane is equally dangerous for her too.“Leave the room.” Katya looks at them. “All of you. Ask someone from the medical wing to send gloves and sample containers.”Azraiel nods and the three of them leave the room. Theo instantly mindlinks someone at the medical wing while Azraiel inspects Charlotte’s hands.“You are not hurt, are you?” he asks gently. His heart thunders in his chest.“No.” She says quietly, surprisingly calm.A few minutes pass and a nurse from the medical wing drops the supplies asked for. None of them speak while Katya collects the sample from the pouch and cleans the office from any wolfsbane with her magic.A few minutes later, she opens the door and says, “Come in. It’s all cleaned up.”Azraiel exhales and they take their places again.“So”, Azraiel begins, “A blood stained cloth,
Charlotte silently takes in what Azraiel just said.I am sure she was a part of the Royal courtShe tilts her head so that she can look at his face. It’s dark but her brand new werewolf vision lets her see every detail of his face.“What do you mean by that?” Her voice a foreign sound on her lips.His arms tighten around her. “The blood on the fabric smelled really strong, Charlotte which is very unusual if it indeed is from the day your mother entered the human land. The smell should have faded by now if she were any ordinary wolf. I smelled the same scent on the fabric too. If it was someone else’s blood, then I wouldn’t have smelled the same scent on that piece of dress too. The smell…” he trails and she sees him gulp, “The smell is strong. During that time, it was a common practice for the courtiers of the Royal court to swear a blood oath with the royals. The Blood oath not only prevented them from betraying the King and the Queen but it also added to their power. The power of th
The next day began earlier than Azraiel would have liked.With every member of Charlotte’s pack now completed shifting, they need to maintain records of each and every member according to the supernatural being they transformed into after their shift.Charlotte left early in the morning to ensure that her pack members weren’t having any adverse symptoms after the shift. She also wanted to discuss with Nicholas and Jamie about the training and further course of action as a pack. Theo accompanied her to the woods.They still haven’t figured out the whole Theo acknowledging her as his Alpha thing and it seemed like no one wanted to discuss anything about the matter.Azraiel left for the packhouse at the same time. He barely slept last night even though his mate was safe and protected in his arms. The matter with Theo and the contents of the backpack left by Arthur keep coming back to his mind every other second. His men have been tracking Arthur and Austin ever since they noticed them on
