Charlotte feels her stomach drop as Azraiel and her walk towards the woods. They were sitting in Azraiel’s office at the packhouse with Daniel when suddenly Azraiel started gasping.Daniel and Charlotte were shocked to see him in pain. She rushed to him and gave him some water while rubbing his back.“Azraiel..What happened?” Charlotte asked him.“Kira..” He gulped. “I think Josh rejected her.”Charlotte gasped involuntarily.SO much pain!Azraiel stood up, his eyes showing the anger he was feeling. He picked up his phone and called someone. Her best guess was that he was calling Josh.And she was right …“Who the hell do you think you are?” Azraiel shouted in the phone and Daniel quietly went out of the room.“Right…right….You had no right… absolutely NO RIGHT to put her through that pain….that too so all of a sudden. Do you have any idea what she has been through in the past few days?” Azraiel was red in the face, his eyes glaring into space as he walked back and forth, working hims

Charlotte quietly follows Azraiel as they step out of the car and make their way toward Charlotte’s pack. Everyone is busy with their own work. Nicholas and Jamie are the ones that are waiting for them. “Charlotte.” Nicholas and Jamie bow their head even after she has asked them to not. “How are you guys?” She asks them while smiling. “We are good.” Jamie answers. “Is there any news or new development?” Nicholas comes straight to the point. Azraiel and Charlotte look at each other. Charlotte sighs and starts narrating what happened yesterday, how Daniel Scott came in and gave a piece of very crucial information and left like nothing happened. After she is done, Nicholas and Jamie look petrified as well as confused. “SO, the Head coordinator has been conveying the Head’s messages to us?” Jamie asks again. “Yes.” Azraiel curtly answers. “This is not good. You know this is not good.” Nicholas shakes his head and says to Charlotte. “If we are indeed therians then we have no idea

Theo awkwardly glances here and there and tries to avoid her piercing gaze.Charlotte was playing a game with him, he knew that. A few minutes after he realized that this girl could indeed be his mate, Charlotte instructed him to accompany Samantha and look at what is needed for their warriors. She could have chosen anyone else but she didn’t. In fact, he is sure that Nicholas has already given one such list to her.Since his Luna asked him to do it, he will. However, he’d be lying if he said he complied solely because of that.The girl with red eyes was the reason behind his compliance...She is walking in front of him, just one step ahead. He can smell her. Her smell is strong and musky.He was expecting her to shout at him, to scream and ask why he didn’t recognize her as a mate. But she didn’t. She kept walking till they were away from the prying ears of others.And then she turned.Theo’s breath got stuck in his throat as his eyes clashed with hers.Red…bright red and yet he coul

Charlotte stares at the black sky and tries to sort out the bubble of worry floating in her heart. She closes her eyes as she hears the footsteps of her mate.Within seconds, the door of her room opens and she is engulfed in warmth as Azraiel’s arms circle her waist. She smiles as he places a sweet kiss on her shoulder and buries his face in her neck. Her back arches and her neck move to the side as the first instinct.They silently enjoy each other’s company as the night darkens and the stars twinkle brighter.“What are you thinking?” Azraiel mumbles in her ear but doesn’t let her go.Charlotte chuckles. “How do you know I am thinking?”“I can tell.” Azraiel kisses her ear.“I-I was thinking about the shift, Azraiel.” Charlotte sobers up. It’s better that she has this conversation with him now.She turns in his arms and faces him. “I have a request…in case…in case I don’t make it after the shift.”“Don’t say that.” His voice breaks as he palms her cheek.“I have to.” She smiles sadly

Charlotte sighs and leans back. Azraiel joins her in the bed. It’s 4 in the morning and the sky is still dark. “You okay? “He asks as she puts her head on his shoulder. “No.” Charlotte gulps to control her tears. “I am not.” Charlotte and Azraiel have been up all night trying to figure out what to do with those hundreds of people out there. Some of them wanted to go home while the others just had no clue what to do. Even if half of them wanted to go, it was still a great number of people and to make living arrangements for them was no easy task at all. Theo, Matt, Ayleen, Katya, and many other warriors worked all night to arrange accommodations for them. Azraiel asked the Head Coordinators permission to put them near his pack and he agreed. All night, they just worked to get things done and make sure that there is no danger lurking around. Tons and Tons of questions… unanswered questions swimming in their heads… “It’s okay! I am here. We’ll figure it out.” She feels him press a ki
