Walking back to the girls dorm after a particular boring class in Avalonian history that had Cora dozing a few times, she bumped into some new friends she had met earlier. The fact that she was the daughter of the most likely to be next Alpha Superior of the Filli Luna pack had skyrocketed her fame in school. And also gave her a rise in the social ladder. Suddenly, girls who shied away from her were bold enough to call her name and say hi and a few of them had offered to assist her in her courses. They were all so nice that it was sickening. Cora remembered that when she arrived, they all watched her from a safe distance. Normally, Cora would have been elated with the new found fame and basked in it but there was too much on her mind for her to actually focus on it. She had been in a terrible state of emotional turm

"Abria Bechet you say?" Principal Claude asked and Everett nodded."I know her. She's a powerful mage. If Cora sees her, Cora might just have a chance."Everett was honestly much more happy about the fact that Cora would be getting her wolf back.He didn't want to report to the Principal about the Mage, he didn't want to tell the Principal that she was one step closer, but the Principal had called for him just a few hours after dawn and demanded that he gave him an update. He couldn't say no and he couldn't come up with lies for fear of Principal Claude being overly suspicious about him. So he had told him about the Mage, praying and hoping that he knew nothing about the Mage. He was wrong. Principal Claude was the tenth principal of Avalon Academy and he had reigned over the school for almost thirty years. He was already an old man with greying hair. He had served on the Lex Luna, the wolf council during his youth before

 "Are you saying that there's a possibility that we find Abria Bechet once we cross the veil?" Everett asked as he cracked his knuckles nervously. Noah glared at him. "Yes, a huge possibility. Now I want to know if you're in Cora, so I'll start making plans to take me with you. What about you Everett?"  "Of course I'm in. I'm definitely in. Everett what the hell are you thinking of? This is my chance!"  Cora was confused as she watched  Everett over think the whole situation. She trusted Noah whole heartedly to have helped her with finding the Mage. And he did. He delivered her with the information in less than twenty four hours. 

 The French Quarter, which was also dubbed as the Vieux Carré and Barrio Francés reeked of old and ancient culture. It was the oldest neighbourhood in New Orleans and also a national historic landmark. Because it was a primary tourist site, the whole quarter was teeming with people and Cora, Everett and Noah found a hard time navigating the crowd of people. They were going to the shop where they would find Abria Bechet. According to most of the wolves that had brought them to the quarter, she went by the nickname Voodoo witch of New Orleans. She owned a witch shop which was a major tourist attraction site in the Quarter. None of the humans knew the true extent of her power since she was hiding in plain sight. Mages had always been servants of nature. And their tight connection with the very first Lycans

 The next morning, even before her classes could hold, Cora was called into Principal Claude's office. She had been anticipating it, after all Diana was the one who reported her absence. And even if she didn't, a teacher would have noticed that she was absent. She didn't know what she would tell the Principal, but she knew that there was no way under any circumstances she was telling him that they crossed the veil. It would be catastrophic, not only for her and Everett but it could get Noah into a lot of trouble. Being a young Alpha Superior, Noah had to be extra careful not to make mistakes that would put him at risk of being evaluated. Walking towards the principal's office with Sydney
