Alpha Raven CHAPTER 157 | Guests
Azraiel paced back and forth in his office, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows through the large windows. His mind buzzed with the recent discoveries about Charlotte’s pack and the disturbing link between the Blue Orchid Pack and the Black Onyx Pack. He needed answers, and there was only one person who could provide them: his Aunt Caitlyn, the keeper of their family's histories and secrets.The phone rang a few times before a warm, yet slightly weary voice answered, "Hello, Azraiel. It’s been a while."“Aunt Caitlyn,” Azraiel began, his tone a mix of urgency and respect, “I need your help. It’s about Charlotte’s pack and a connection I’ve discovered between the Blue Orchid Pack and the Black Onyx Pack.”There was a brief pause on the other end, the kind that signalled deep thought. “Go on,” Caitlyn prompted, her voice now tinged with curiosity.Azraiel took a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts into a coherent explanation. “We’ve uncovered some old journals that sugges

Samantha pushes aside the stray strands of hair on Theo’s forehead. He looks so peaceful while sleeping, she thinks to herself as she takes in his serene face. She was currently in his bed, lying naked next to him. Ever since the shift, she has been sleeping here with him. For some reason, their relationship took a complete 360-degree turn. Sure, they were mates even before the shift but somehow it always felt like there was an invisible wall between them. That wall vanished into thin air with the shift.They are the happiest they have ever been. Theo seeks her out at every possible moment he can. His love language is touch, she noticed. Even when they are in public, he would graze the sleeves of her dress, sometimes her hair to make his presence known, as if she would ever need a reminder.Also, there’s that matter of Theo being the Beta of her pack. It was so surreal, the moment when Charlotte recognized Theo as her Beta and he recognized her as his Alpha. She couldn’t fathom what A

Charlotte sighed as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her body ached from the intense training sessions she had been putting herself through daily. It wasn’t just physical strength she sought; it was control over the beings residing within her. She had to master the werewolf, the vampire, and the witch. The incident in her bedroom, where she had nearly lost control, was still fresh in her mind. The constant fear that she might hurt someone during one of her fits left her anxious all the time. She tried to play it cool and act as if everything was under control, but she knew that Azraiel was well aware of the internal battle she was fighting. Charlotte had never run from a problem. Inarguably, there had been some lapses in judgment in her decisions, but she had always been quick to recognize her flaws and work to eliminate them.Katya, a wise and experienced witch, had advised that Charlotte should focus on the werewolf, vampire, and witch traits first, as they were common to many

The Blue Orchid pack's compound was a hive of activity as preparations for Aunt Caitlyn's arrival reached a fever pitch. The excitement and nervousness were palpable in the air. Aunt Caitlyn, the formidable Alpha of the Golden Forest pack, commanded respect and admiration from everyone, and her visits were always significant events. Adding to the anticipation was the arrival of Daniel Scott, the head coordinator of inter-pack relations, who had been travelling extensively, meeting with Alphas of other packs. Rumours swirled about the new information he was bringing with him, information that could potentially change the course of their pack's future.The sun was high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the compound. Wolves in their human forms bustled about, carrying out various tasks. The scent of freshly baked bread and roasted meat wafted through the air, mingling with the earthy aroma of the surrounding forest. The communal area, usually a place of relaxed gathering, was now a sc

Azraiel's mouth hangs open, a question on the tip of his tongue, but before he can speak, Daniel’s gaze locks onto his. The intensity in his eyes is almost unsettling.“Oh, and there are rumours that the fallen Alpha of the Black Onyx pack and the first-ever Trueblood, Emmanuel Reed, is alive!” Daniel announces, his voice cutting through the room like a knife.The room collectively gasps the air thickening with a sudden, oppressive tension. Every pair of eyes widens in disbelief, and it feels as though the walls themselves have leaned in to listen.“What?” Azraiel’s voice is barely a whisper, the word escaping him with a breathless urgency.“Do these rumours have any possibility of being true?” Aunt Caitlyn’s voice shatters the silence, each syllable wrapped in an edge of unease.Daniel sighs, a heavy sound that carries the weight of the world. “I believe that there is a high chance of him being alive,” he replies, his tone laced with a mix of dread and resignation.Aunt Caitlyn’s eye

The meeting adjourned with a palpable tension in the air, as everyone decided to retire for the night and reconvene the next day. It was clear to all that Charlotte would rather die than abandon her pack. The gravity of their situation weighed heavily on each member, knowing that their only option now was to prepare for the imminent threat posed by Emmanuel and Austin's potentially advancing army.Arrangements were made to accommodate everyone. Aunt Caitlyn was assigned to the guest house, and Daniel Scott would stay in the cottage he had been occupying during Charlotte's shift. Thankfully, no further conversations transpired between Charlotte and Aunt Caitlyn, allowing the night to end peacefully without additional conflict.In their bedroom, Charlotte lay wide awake, her mind racing with thoughts and worries. The room was quiet except for the occasional rustling of leaves outside the window. Azraiel, sensing her unrest, shifted closer and murmured in her ear, “Can’t sleep?” He gently

The next morning began quietly for Charlotte and Azraiel. The stillness of the early hours provided a brief respite from the turmoil of their thoughts. They shared a simple breakfast, finishing earlier than usual to give themselves ample time to prepare for the pivotal meeting ahead. Both were aware of the gravity of the discussions to come. They needed to strategize not just for their survival, but for the safety of their entire pack.Sitting across from each other at the wooden kitchen table, the light from the rising sun filtering through the windows, they spoke in hushed tones.“We need to make sure everyone understands the full scope of the threat we’re facing,” Azraiel said, his eyes meeting Charlotte’s with unwavering resolve. “We should lay out the facts clearly and let them know they have a choice.”Charlotte nodded, her mind already racing through the points she wanted to address. “Agreed. And we must include Victor in this meeting. His insights could be invaluable, and the

“A ball?” Charlotte looked at Azraiel incredulously.“You want to throw a ball in this madness to introduce me to others?” she asked for the second time.Azraiel sighed and smiled in the way he knew made her insides warm. His deep blue eyes sparkled with a mixture of amusement and affection.“Yes,” he finally said. “Nothing extravagant, just a small ball to introduce you to the rest of the world. To tell them that we don’t pose a threat to them together but we might need their help for the upcoming battles.” He quickly explained.“Okayyy,” she dragged the words with scrunched eyebrows.Azraiel sighed when she didn’t look convinced. He knew this was a hard sell, but it was necessary.“Look. We need other werewolf packs by our side. If they decide to fight from the other side, we might have more problems. I don’t think they will want to fight for a person they don’t know! In order to convince them to side with us, we need to introduce you to them and let them see why they should side wi

Alpha Raven CHAPTER 178 | Tick tock…tick tock…
The silence that followed Daniel’s call was as thick as fog. Everyone sat in contemplative unease, their thoughts spiraling into the abyss of uncertainties. Silver flames had been sighted 22 years ago—just a year after the devastating fire at the king’s palace, the same fire that claimed the lives of the werewolf royalty. Could these two events be connected? The implications of such a connection were as vast as they were terrifying.Azraiel’s drawing room felt heavier than ever, the weight of worry and exhaustion palpable in the air. Kira shifted uncomfortably, her gaze moving to the grandfather clock ticking loudly in the corner. Every second seemed to stretch into eternity.Suddenly, the sound of a door creaking open broke the tension. Everyone’s heads snapped toward the staircase, alert and apprehensive.Theo and Matt bolted to their feet, rushing up the stairs.“Azraiel?” Theo’s voice carried a mix of relief and worry as he spotted the Alpha slowly descending the stairs.Azraiel w
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 177| Shadows of the Silver Flame
The weight of responsibility bore down on Daniel as he leaned back in his chair, rubbing his face with calloused hands. The room around him was dimly lit, with the flickering glow of a solitary desk lamp casting long shadows against the walls. The soft hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound accompanying his tumultuous thoughts.He had just returned to his office after a grueling day spent ensuring the security of the forest surrounding the Blue Orchid pack. Every minute had been a whirlwind of meetings, coordination, and checks, with one goal in mind: to eliminate any potential threats before the ball. The gathering of so many Alphas and Lunas in one place was a political and logistical nightmare. It was a powder keg waiting for a spark.And now this.The phone call from Caitlyn had left him shaken. He stared blankly at the pile of papers on his desk, unable to focus on any of it. The words "silver flames" echoed in his mind, each syllable slicing through his thoughts like a blade.
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 176 | Finding solutions
Aunt Caitlyn sat on the plush sofa in Azraiel’s drawing room, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. The rich, dark wood of the furniture glinted faintly under the muted glow of the overhead chandelier, and the scent of pinewood from the hearth lingered in the air. She had rushed over in her nightclothes, barely taking the time to throw a coat over her shoulders when Ayleen’s desperate call came.The sound of Ayleen’s sobs still echoed in her ears, and Caitlyn’s heart clenched at the memory. The young woman had flung herself into her arms the moment she stepped through the door, her body trembling with unspoken fears.Now, as she sat in the center of the tension-filled room, Caitlyn couldn’t help but notice how heavy the atmosphere was. Matt and Theo stood to the side, their postures rigid, their expressions grim. Siobhan sat beside Ayleen on the loveseat, murmuring soft reassurances while rubbing her back gently. Ayleen, her eyes red-rimmed and swollen, leaned her head against Siobhan
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 175 | The fire of death
The moonlight cast a faint, silvery glow on the forest path leading to Alana’s house, illuminating the route just enough for Kira to navigate without stumbling. Her boots crunched softly against the dirt, the sound oddly loud in the stillness of the night. She glanced up at the looming trees, their dark branches intertwining above her to form a canopy that swallowed most of the moonlight. It felt like the forest itself was holding its breath. Alana’s house came into view, a small structure perched on the edge of the pack’s territory. Its isolation was deliberate—an unspoken acknowledgment of the unease the pack felt around the witch. Even as she approached, Kira couldn’t help but feel the weight of its placement. It wasn’t just physical distance that separated Alana from the others; it was a barrier of mistrust and fear. Kira slowed her steps, her hand instinctively resting on the hilt of the dagger strapped to her thigh. She didn’t expect trouble, but being cautious never hurt. The
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 174 | Flames of different colors
Katya tossed aside another of her mother’s journals, letting it fall to the floor with a defeated sigh. The thick stack of ancient leather-bound books was strewn across the room, each one filled with spells, enchantments, and writings about flames of every imaginable color—blue, black, green, even a rare purple. But nowhere, not a single line, had mentioned the mysterious silver flame. It felt as though the answers she sought were just beyond reach, buried beneath years of her mother’s guarded knowledge.Katya rubbed her temples, feeling a growing frustration behind her eyes as she got up from the floor, carefully stepping over a couple of loose pages that had scattered during her search. She wandered into the kitchen, her bare feet padding softly on the wooden floor, where the hum of the refrigerator and the ticking of the wall clock punctuated the otherwise heavy silence of the night. She reached for the coffee pot, her hands moving almost mechanically, measuring out the coffee grou
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 173 | The looming doom
For the next two hours, various tests were conducted on Charlotte to determine the cause of her condition. They wanted to be certain that she was physically fine before drawing any conclusions. Some of the test results came back normal, and now they were awaiting the others.Dr. Humphrey had checked Charlotte’s vitals earlier—her pulse, heartbeat, blood pressure, and brain activity were all normal. Yet, despite these signs of life, Charlotte remained unconscious, as though trapped in a deep slumber. Azraiel lay beside her, his body healing slowly from the burns, but his heart was heavy with worry. The others had left the room to give them space, gathering downstairs in the hall.Katya had left the house altogether, determined to search her mother’s books and journals for anything related to the mysterious silver fire and its effects. Ayleen, who had been inconsolable earlier, reluctantly joined the others after Dr. Humphrey insisted they needed the room to monitor both Charlotte and A
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 172 | The Chaos begins
Azraiel’s scream tore through the night as the silver flames licked at his skin, searing his flesh. The pain was unlike anything he had ever felt—blinding, all-consuming—but he pushed through it. His grip tightened around Charlotte’s limp body as he lifted her into his arms, ignoring the fire that burned him down to his core. Every breath was a struggle, coming in short, agonized puffs as the heat smothered him, but he refused to let go.He summoned his true-blooded wolf, the primal strength buried deep within him, and let out a howl of pain and anguish that echoed through the walls. The wolf took over, guiding him with a singular focus—protect Charlotte. His feet moved on instinct as he hurried into the room, the flames still biting at his skin, and laid her carefully on their bed.As soon as her body touched the bed, Azraiel collapsed, his knees buckling under the unbearable pain. He hit the floor with a thud, the flames finally retreating, but leaving him scorched, his body covered
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 171 | Silver Flames
Azraiel felt her pain before he heard her voice. The intensity of the headache that slammed through the mindlink sent a sharp jolt of panic through his entire body. He was at the pack border, inspecting the security for Charlotte’s introductory ball with Kira, Matt, and Katya, when it hit him like a physical blow. The agony was overwhelming, and it wasn’t just his own—he could feel Charlotte’s fear pulsing through their bond.Without a word, Azraiel spun on his heels and sprinted towards her, his heart racing with dread. He knew something was wrong, terribly wrong, and he couldn't waste another second. Behind him, Matt, Kira, and Katya followed, their footsteps pounding through the woods as they tried to keep up with his pace.Matt’s voice cut through the rush of wind and trees as they ran. “Charlotte left the banquet hall a few hours ago. Ayleen left for home not long after. They must be at your place.”Azraiel heard him, but he couldn’t respond. His mind was racing too fast, his hear
Alpha Raven CHAPTER 170 | The Blood Lust
Charlotte stood on the balcony, her arms wrapped around her middle, deep in thought as the cool night air played with the loose strands of her hair. Below her, the maze in the garden glowed with a soft golden hue. Yellow-golden fairy lights had been draped intricately along the maze's borders, casting an ethereal glow that illuminated the neatly trimmed hedges. The lights flickered gently in the breeze, their glow stretching out like long fingers that traced across the stone walls of the estate, spilling golden shadows across her face. Her reflection caught in the glass door behind her, her expression drawn, her lips pressed into a thin line of unease.Azraiel had taken charge of the preparations for her ball—her introductory event. As usual, he was meticulous, ensuring every detail was perfect. Charlotte had been busy too, focusing on the decorations and arrangements, but her mind was not with the party. Hours ago, something had happened, something that had shaken her in ways she cou
