Chapter 92: Chapter 92
Azraiel and Charlotte didn’t leave their home the whole day. They fucked, slept and ate and then did it all over again.
It was like all the pent up sexual frustration of Azraiel and Charlotte was finally let loose and they couldn’t help it. They spent the whole day cocooned in their love bubble, forgetting all the problems for a day.
But it was Monday now, and they had no choice but to come out of their love nest.
Azraiel unwillingly woke Charlotte up for her training session and made her work extra hard because of her missed sessions in the past few days. After their training session, Azraiel and Charlotte quickly showered together and Azraiel kissed his mate goodbye and left for the office. Charlotte went back to her routine and started preparing for her next session, taking time in between to journal and read the books about the species. Azraiel and Charlotte stayed up late at night talking about her shift and the various possibilities. She also told him about the headaches and weird behavior of her wolf regarding the werecats and fairies. Azraiel was shocked to say the least. Amongst all the species that they have speculated were inside her, werecats and fairies were the ones they never could’ve imagined.
Walking to the packhouse, he works up his mind to form the next course of action.
“Alpha.” He looks up to see Kira.
He nods back at her.
He has called Kira, Matt, Theo and Katya in his office to discuss their next strategy.
Kira follows him as Azraiel enters the packhouse and makes his way to the office. Azraiel takes a seat behind the desk and Kira sits on one of the sofas. Matt, Theo and
Katya enter too after a few seconds. They greet Azraiel and he greets them back. He is grateful that no one makes any comment on the mating even though they all know about it.
“Sit!” He says and gestures to the chairs.
He takes out of his pocket the letter sent by the red eyed creatures and places it on the table.
“Let’s address the issues one by one, okay?” Every one nods at him.
“First, I think this letter means that they want to converse but I have a feeling it won’t be easy to get the information we want from them. They’d probably want to talk on their own terms.”
“You are right! I was thinking the same thing.” Kira speaks up. “It’s highly possible that won’t answer our next letter or answer it too late.”
Azraiel nods. “Yes, that’s why want to talk to them one on one.” Everyone in the room looks at each other.
Azraiel rolls his eyes. Idiots !
“Relax, I’m not going directly in their territory!” He gives them a look that says ‘I am not an idiot’.
“I am planning to speak to them from our side of lake. I know for a fact that they have good hearing and are always lurking at that side to catch a glimpse of Charlotte! If they’d agree, then we’ll set a time and place to meet in a neutral territory with equal number of men.”
Everyone in the room agrees to his plan. Well, it’s highly unlikely that they’d oppose him unless they know he isn’t capable of something.
“Now, about the materials I found in the Royal Library.” Azraiel gestures towards the pile of books on his table. “I haven’t read them yet but I grabbed everything I thought could be useful. There are also some books from the ‘classified’ section that I’ve submitted an application for. My best guess is that we’ll receive them by the weekend. Now, I don’t want all of us to work on this material.” He looks at them.
“Theo has already researched about this more than any of us and it would be better for Katya to read the books related to hybrids and magic since she knows more about the topic. So, Theo and Katya will work on the material with me.” He looks at both of them and they nod. Theo even seems excited at the news and Azraiel almost snorts. The fucking grown up kid!
“Now, we have another matter on our hand.” He looks at Matt. “Remember, you gave Charlotte a book to read and identify the species she resonates most with?” matt nods at him with scrunched brows.
“Well, Charlotte’s wolf resonated with fairies and werecats!”
A series of ‘whats’ and ‘fuck’ can be heard as soon as he finishes his sentence.
“Fairies and werecats?” Katya asks, her voice filled with astonishment.
“Yeah” Azraiel sighs and leans back in his chair.
“Wait..!” Theo says suddenly. “Did this happen on the day we she went to shopping with Ayleen and I?”
Azraiel nods at him grimly. He knew he’d catch up quickly. Charlotte wasn’t as good as she likes to think at hiding her emotions.
“I knew something was wrong when her face paled when she saw the fairy costumes but I dismissed it as her being tired.” Azraiel knew he was beating himself up for not catching up quickly.
“Now, we don’t know for sure that she has those species inside her but it is highly possible as it is her wolf who resonates with them- and we all know that werewolves
hardly get along with other species.” Azraiel says.
“Now, until we get any further information, here’s what we are going to do.” He looks at everyone to see if he has their attention.
“Theo, Katya and I will work on the material from the Royal Library and tell each other as soon as we find something of importance.” Katya and Theo nod in affirmation.
“Matt, you’ll focus on Charlotte’s training. I don’t want her to be off the track because of this. Our efforts will be useless of her body and mind are weak to survive the shift.” Matt nods and Azraiel knows he understood the assignment.
“Kira, I want you to determine where in the Rysterbian woods those red eyed wolves are staying? Let’s surround them by tonight. I want them to have no choice but talk to us.” Kira nods and he knows she is already devising a plan.
“Alright then folks, let’s get to work!” Azraiel says and dismisses everyone.
******
The whole day Azraiel, Theo and Katya read text after text, book after book so that they could find something of importance. Though they find nothing directly related to
Charlotte’s situation, they get to know a lot about the species that might possibly be inside her.
Also, the head coordinator called today. Azraiel left the meeting in such a hurry when he received Ayleen’s call that he completely forgot to inform the head coordinator of his departure. He already knew that there is a girl who was bitten by the wolf currently residing in the Blue orchid pack but he doesn’t know that she is her mate and Azraiel wanted to keep it like that. So, he made up a story that there was something wrong with Charlotte and he had to leave the meeting in emergency.
Surprisingly, the head coordinator didn’t ask any questions and just accepted his explanation as it is, which was so unlike him. However, Azraiel had more pressing matters than to think about the head coordinator’s behavior, so he let it go.
It was evening and the sky turned dark a few minutes ago. Azraiel quietly walked to the lake, addressing everyone he met on the way.
Kira has identified the area where those red eyed wolves are currently residing. The Blue Orchid packs’s warriors have been dispatched earlier during the day to surround their territory.
Azraiel sat down on the grass, his legs crisscrossed and eyes closed. He meditated for a few minutes to calm his mind and then opened his eyes. His wolf was on the surface. His eyes gleamed golden instead of the rich blue. Azraiel started making a hum sound in his throat, completely aware that the wolves across the lake can hear him. He continued making the sound and kept his eyes across the lake. After making the sounds for a few minutes he saw a glimmer of red shine between the tree leaves and he just knew that it was working.
The sounds coming from his throat were actually a form of frequency and vibration language that was common among the supernatural species in earlier days. Not all species spoke the same language and hence the vibration and sound language was something that every supernatural identified with. It sorts of was the universal language of supernaturals used to negotiate territories and terms in earlier days. With the evolution in the world and rise of human population, supernaturals went into hiding and evolved as per the conditions. Now, only a few species used the language and all else supernaturals either adapted to speak English or developed their own language.
Azraiel hadn’t planned on using this particular language to communicate with them but during his meditation, his intuition pushed him to do the same.
He continued to speak in the vibrating frequency as he saw more and more red eyes glowing in the dark.
“Thank you for your note!” He spoke when he was sure that most of them were present there.
“It wasn’t for you!” Their reply came after a long moment of silence and Azraiel almost thought that they don’t know the language.
He also had his doubts regarding to whom the letter was addressed to. From what Katya saw in her vision, Charlotte was some sort of leader to them and it was highly unlikely that they would address him as their Alpha. Supernaturals take authority very seriously and never bow down to anyone but their leader.
“It was for the woman you dropped at my borders, I assume.” Azraiel knew they didn’t know her name and he wanted to keep it that way, for now.
“You are right. It was for her.” He read the vibrations.
“She is going to shift soon, you already know that. I know you know more about her than any of us. It’d be really helpful if you could tell us about her.” Azraiel wanted them to agree and he had no problem in playing the helpless Alpha if that’s what they wanted.
“We want to help her too, but we’ll talk about this only to her.” A growl almost escaped Azraiel’s throat as he heard him.
“No! I can’t let her talk to you alone. My men and I will be there with her when you talk.” Azraiel put his foot down on this condition.
“I understand that you are her mate, but the choice to talk to us alone is hers. If she says she has no problem with you being there, then we have no problem at all. But her consent must come from her.” Azraiel kind of respected those creatures for respecting Charlotte’s choice even though he, being her mate neglected it in this dialogue.
“As you wish. You’ll know her wish in a few hours.” The red eyes disappeared as soon as he said that and Azraiel knew they would appear as soon as charlotte comes here. But before that, he’ll have to make sure that Charlotte doesn’t agrees to meet them alone!
