Charlotte sighs and closes her eyes. She has a headache and it won’t just stop. She has taken the medicine but looks like it isn’t working.When she opens her eyes she sees Katya walking towards the house. Charlotte slightly smiles and stands up from the chair.“Hey! Ready?” Katya asks.“Yeah. Just give me a minute.” Charlotte says and quickly sips some water and then follows Katya out.“So…Everything alright?”“Yeah..just a headache.”“Oh..okay…we can finish the session quickly if you want to.” Katya offers.“Nah…that won’t be necessary.” Charlotte smiles gratefully.Katya has been helping her work on her intuition. Her sessions have helped Charlotte a lot. She is getting better at mindlinking and weirdly enough she is no more uncomfortable or afraid about the shift. In Katya’s words, she has finally surrendered.Katya and Charlotte walk up to their usual spot between the trees and the ground providing comfort to Charlotte that she didn’t know she needed.“Close your eyes and relax.

“His real name is Austin Jones of the Black Onyx pack.” Alana’s words send a ripple of confusion through everyone’s mind. “Black Onyx Pack?” Alpha Azraiel questions with a raised eyebrow. “I- I know it sounds unbelievable but it is true! He really is from the Black Onyx Pack.” For a moment, no one speaks. Theo and Alpha Azraiel look at each other with a knowing look in their eyes. They have most probably mindlinked their suspicions about the witch in front of them. “Please elaborate.” Theo pushes with a clenched jaw. Alana nods furiously. “So…do you remember how the fall of the Black Onyx Pack and their Alpha lead to the story that everyone from the pack died except the Alpha and the one male that turned into an Alpha?” “You are saying it’s not true?” Kira narrows her eyes at her. “No.” Alana looks down for a second and then looks at Charlotte for a moment. She then returns her eyes to Alpha and says, “Years ago, when the Alpha of the Black Onyx pack, Emmanuel Reed went haywir

Charlotte scans the area in front of her with alert eyes. She can feel a headache coming as she thinks about what Azraiel told her a few minutes ago. The Head-Coordinator is on his way to the pack and wants to share some crucial information. He asked Azraiel to ask her pack members where they want to reside for the rest of their lives…in the werewolf world...in the human world…or with their respective species packs…also to ask them if they indeed turn out to be therians then as which creature would they want to spend their lives as? As soon as it was confirmed that Richard is indeed Austin Jones of the Black Onyx Pack, Azraiel put some warriors to the task of tracing back the ancestors of her pack members. She kind of knows what he suspects but she won’t know for sure till he decides to reveal everything. In front of her, Theo along with several other warriors was helping Nicholas and Jamie to gather information about everyone’s ancestors. She herself talked to several pack members…

As soon as Charlotte shares what Daniel just told them with Nicholas, his face changes from calm to panicked in seconds.“Please tell me this is a joke?” His eyes pleaded with her.Charlotte looks at him as if saying sorry in every language but words refuse to come out of her mouth.Both of them then relayed the same message to the folks residing in the woods.A wave of panic washes over the crowd as they register their words! Charlotte sighs and begins saying.“Please!”Her voice is full of desperation and regret...regret of not being able to do anything for them.“Please, try to understand! At present, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We just want to take extra measures to avoid any mishap whatsoever. Please cooperate with us. It is for your own safety!” She tries to assure them.They quieten down but she can still sense their worry.“What if we don’t turn into something we want to?” one of them asks.“We’ll just have to figure it out as it comes I guess!” Charlotte sighs. “

Azraiel rubs his palm over his face. As soon as he heard that Charlotte was unconscious he rushed through the woods to reach her. Katya and Alana were trying to remove the magic from Caleb when his body lit on fire. At that very moment, Charlotte reached there and started chanting something which ultimately stopped the fire. To everyone’s surprise, Caleb doesn’t even have a scratch on his body.Azraiel carried Charlotte to their home where she is currently lying on their bed. He is sitting beside his mate waiting for her to wake up.Seeing her like that, lying unconscious on the floor made his heart writhe in pain. He has no idea how he is going to watch her complete the shift tomorrow. He still remembers how much effort it took to keep it together when his sister shifted for the first time.What happened today has no doubt put several doubts in everyone’s mind. He too is concerned now. If Charlotte really shifts into a witch tomorrow, it might become hard for her to continue to live
