It was 4: 30 in the morning on Wednesday. Azraiel was lying in his bed, his head placed on his palm, elbow popped up on the bed. He gazed loving at his mate who was facing him, her body curled up like a fetus. The light yellow light from the bedside lamp cast a shadow on her face, making her look ethereal. She looked at peace… maybe she was. He knew he was….
He has been waiting for this day for so long. To be able to wake up beside the person you love is truly a blessing. It fills one’s heart with gratefulness, love, and a sense of assurance.…that there is a person…. Only for you…. Your person….!
He smiled as she stirred. Placing a light kiss on her head, he quietly and slowly moved out of the bed. With one last glance at her, he picked up his towel and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Lord knows that after cuddling with her all night, he needs a fucking cold shower..
***********
Katya reached the northern border of The Blue Orchid pack with the man she has come to despise over the years. Years ago, Katya had secured the pack with magic and signed a blood pact with Alpha Azraiel to never use magic in his pack without his permission and she had no reason to break the said pact, until now. Both Theo and her have tried for hours to convince Azraiel to let her use magic to figure a few things out, and he finally agreed last night, of course after threatening to make her life hell if anything went wrong. So, here she was, at the northern border with a dozen of his warriors and the insufferable Beta Matt. This was the very place where they found Charlotte a month ago. According to her, the rouges dropped her here but they also found her footprints here, which means she was awake for a brief period, even if she didn’t remember it. Katya was about to perform a spell here. She has gathered the mud from the exact same plac
Matt sighed as he buried his head in his palms. God! When will this end? He had accompanied Katya to the northern border along with a dozen of his warriors. She wanted to cast a spell there to determine how Charlotte ended up here. It was going perfectly for a few minutes. She seemed at ease and normal. They didn’t see any danger. Everything was going fine until… Until she started gasping for air and clutching her neck wildly. Matt had no idea what was happening. He tried to help her but the circle around her prevented him from entering and breaking the spell. It would burn him to ashes if he tried to break the protective shield cast by the circle. He had no idea what to do, so he just mindlinked his Alpha about the situation and he ordered him to wash away the circle with water. Matt did as he was told and it worked! As soon as Matt poured water on th
Horrified that she forgot such an important detail, Charlotte immediately picks up her phone and calls Azraiel.“Are you at the packhouse?” She asks before he could say anything.“Yeah. What’s wrong?” His voice is laced with worry at the panic he sensed in her voice.“I want to talk about something. Can I come there?”“No!” Charlotte is surprised by his answer but she keeps quiet. “I mean I am coming over to the house to pick some papers. Let’s talk at home!” and then he hangs up.Though he didn’t say anything, she knows he is afraid. Afraid that she’d hurt others and then he’d have to hurt her. The packhouse is filled with women and children at this time and if Charlotte has one of her as she likes to call them ‘episodes’, then she might hurt innocent people.She knows that the mate bond is the strongest but she also knows that Azraiel is l
Azraiel took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair in his office at the packhouse. It was 6 in the evening and he had promised Charlotte to introduce her properly to his wolf. He was actually looking forward to this particular meeting until an hour ago. Katya woke up an hour ago and the first thing she did was to meet him. The fear in Katya’s eyes was still fresh in his mind. She looked scared to death and when she narrated what happened during her spell, he became scared too. According to Katya, this has never happened to her before and he for a fact knows that she is a strong witch. He has seen her perform many hard spells with ease and the spell she performed came nowhere near the spells she performed while helping him find Ayleen years ago. If there was any doubt left in his mind, it was wiped off the second he heard how Charlotte behaved with the wolf in Katya’s vision during the spell. It was clear that those wolves who
--------------------------------------Would you leave meIf I tell you the truth?Would you love meEven after seeing my demons?Would you stayIf I become vulnerable?--------------------------------------Azraiel was aware of the eyes on them. He knew they’d be here.The creatures with red eyes.It’s like they can’t keep away from Charlotte. He doubted it when these creatures suddenly showed up as soon as Charlotte entered the woods. And then at the same time when Charlotte showed the different beings inside her, and today. It’s like they can sense her or smell her, just like wolves. The way Katya described the interaction between Charlotte and those creatures, it’s evident that there is an emotional connection.Today, when he asked Charlotte if she wants to meet his wolf, he had planned to do it in th
Azraiel played the clip on his laptop for the fifth time. Matt and Katya had come a few minutes ago and handed him the recordings from the cameras he placed at the eastern border. One of the cameras perfectly captured those creatures.But it wasn’t helping them much.The clip started with no one in the scene and stayed like that for a few seconds, but then they appeared. Five wolves, all of the different colors came out of the bushes, their eyes gleaming red. They were standing at the lake, not too exposed but behind some large trees. They kept staring across the lake, not moving, not doing anything, just standing there looking across the lake, presumably at Charlotte.They stayed right there all the time that Azraiel and Charlotte were at the lake. They didn’t try to attack them nor did they call out for more wolves. But a few minutes later, there was a commotion. Two small wolves appeared from behind the bu
Kira absentmindedly chewed on her sandwich. She didn’t get any sleep last night, thinking about the very thing that was going through her mind right now. Charlotte is Alpha Azraiel’s mate. That human girl is Azraiel’s mate. What the hell? Yesterday, when Theo blurted it out in the packhouse, she couldn’t believe her ears. Talk about destiny! Everyone in the werewolf world had long ago accepted that Truebloods would be mateless forever, but now it turns out that they indeed have a mate. It wasn’t the fact that she was Azraiel’s mate that troubled Kira but that she was the last one to know. You know that’s not true. Her wolf said and she ignored her. Does her Alpha not trust her enough to keep her Luna safe? She knows that the situation was complicated wi
Charlotte sighed as she turned in her bed to come face to face with the handsome man. She lifted a finger and slightly traced his face. Yesterday, Azraiel told her about the Royal meeting, the entries that they found from 1971 and the letter he sent to the red eyed creatures. That’s not it…He also told her that the initiation ceremony would now be held on Friday…Which is tomorrow.Azraiel wants her to be a part of the pack before he leaves for the King’s castle. He says it’s for her safety but she feels like it’s more for everyone else’s sake. If she becomes a part of the pack, she would be less likely to hurt the pack members when he is not here to control the situation. As for the mating and marking ceremony, he has been silent. Charlotte understands his hesitation to be honest, but it still doesn’t feel good. Moreover, she trusts him. He’d never do anything to hurt her.Azraiel moves in his sleep and his arm tightens around her waist. With a smile, she snuggles up to him and clos
