As the minutes go by, everyone’s anxiety starts reaching levels they never imagined. It was around one in noon when Dr. Humphrey cleared Caleb to leave the hospital though not before warning Alpha Azraiel about his renewed strength. Matt and Theo were heading towards the arena where Azraiel wanted Caleb to shift into his wolf. “Do you think he could be an alpha?” Matt suddenly asks. “Don’t know…” Theo answers as nonchalantly as he could. “What do you think?” “I think that if he is that strong, then maybe...maybe his bloodline isn’t that watered down as we thought. It’s true that he comes from a line of wolves that were part of the Black Onyx pack who ran away but it is possible that both of his parents were wolves…maybe some high-ranking ones…!” Theo takes in what Matt said. It can be true! Most of Charlotte’s pack members have a moderate or subtle aura till now. It may be due to the fact that they are unaware of their powers or it could be that one of their parents wasn’t s

All night, Azraiel and Charlotte switched between making love and talking just about everything.They knew they should have slept but they couldn’t help it. The fear that they might have no time to tell each other the million things they want to share just didn’t let them sleep a wink that night.They cuddled, they talked, and in between they even ate some of the ice cream and leftovers. She would have done everything she has ever wanted to do with her partner if it were possible.They were both aware of the sun rays peeking through the curtains indicating that it is time to get up but they ignore it and sink further into the mattress.He watches as Charlotte draws circles with her index finger on his chest.With a sigh, he presses a soft kiss on her head and grumpily says, “I think we should wake up.” “Mhmm…we should.” She kisses his chest tenderly.Sighing, she gets up and walks to the bathroom. While she is showering, Azraiel prepares breakfast. Charlotte wanted to spend the mor

On the ground, his mate Charlotte lays wide awake, except her eyes are black, even the white parts, her left foot is split into half and there is an eerie smile on her face!Azraiel could feel his heart jump into his throat.“Charlotte?” He tries calling her name, unable to recognize his own voice.“Charlotte…” He tries again when she doesn’t react.Azraiel gulps hard and calls for Katya. “Katya!”She comes in rushing instantly.As soon as she sees the state Charlotte is in, her jaw drops to the floor.“What’s going on? Can you tell me what’s wrong with her?” He asks desperately.Katya kneels on the floor beside Charlotte. She lifts her index finger and hesitantly touches Charlotte’s foot. As soon as her finger makes contact with Charlotte’s skin, she reels back in shock. It’s as if she has touched fire.Wearily, she steps back and starts chanting a spell her mother taught her.As soon as she begins chanting, Charlotte starts convulsing. Her whole body starts twisting at weird angles

Azraiel drops to his knees and quickly lifts Charlotte’s fragile body and cradles her in his arms.“Charlotte?” His voice doesn’t express the fear he feels.He gulps down the tears. “Ch-Charlotte?” His voice breaks.“Alpha?” Theo enters the tent and stops in his tracks when he sees the state Charlotte is in.Behind him, Katya enters the tent but her reaction is the exact opposite. She rushes to Charlotte as soon as she sees her.Katya sits down next to Azraiel and slowly inspects Charlotte’s body.She checks her pulse calmly while everything inside her is screaming to get away from here as soon as possible.“Her pulse isn’t regular.” She mutters to herself.Closing her eyes, she puts her right palm on Charlotte’s forehead and starts chanting something.The more she chants, the more pained her face looks.Theo finally moves and sits down near Charlotte’s legs.“Alpha?” He calls Azraiel when he notices the broken expression on his best friend’s face.Azraiel Squeezes his eyes shut for

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
