In Between The Alphas
Chapter 93

CHARLOTTE'S P.O.V

I don't know when I dozed off but Logan jerked into a sitting position and successfully roused me from my sleep. I sat up in alarm but he curled an arm around my shoulders keeping me in place. The room is completely dark because he turned out the lights earlier "What's going on?" I asked but he held up a hand so I can be quiet.

and even with my werewolf senses I can't see anything.

"Who's there?"

"Relax; I'm not going to hurt her." A very familiar voice said and my brows furrowed, "But it's funny to think that if I wanted to you would be able to stop me." What is Adamaris doing here?

Logan let out a growl, "Relax Logan," I whispered but he wasn't easing up so I turned to the source of the voice, "Don't antagonize him. It's not very nice of you."

I heard a snap and the lights came on. She stood there in all of her glory wearing a floor length black tulle skirt and a black long sleeved shirt. She paired it with a huge coat and black ballet flats. Her raven dark hair was in a tight ponytail and her violet eyes assessed me carefully.

"What are you doing here?" Logan had eased up but he was still tense, "It's 1 in the morning."

"Here I thought you would be glad to see me."

"I would if you came through the front door like a normal person."

She ran her eyes over his figure slowly before turning to me, "Get dressed, we need to talk. I'll be downstairs- don't make me wait."

Without another word she walked out of the room- through the door this time.

"I f*****g hate witches." Logan cursed but put on a shirt and I grabbed one of his boxer briefs and put it on.

Sure enough when we got downstairs Adamaris was in our kitchen drinking a cup of coffee and leaning against the counter.

"You don't just walk into people's houses and start making coffee." Logan chided

"Don't worry; the honor is reserved for only you. I wouldn't dare do it elsewhere." Sarcasm bled through her words, "Your friends are on their way."

"Did you sneak into their houses like you did ours?"

"Yes," she admitted, "Your beta threw a lamp at me which I would have found amusing if it didn't cut my hand and I had a very unnerving sight at the white haired one's house." She smiled to herself, "you need to get protective spells around all your houses by the way."

"I guess I should; it might keep you away."

"I'm going to chalk your grumpiness up to the fact that I woke you up really early and not as disrespect."

"What the hell is going on?"

She ignored Logan and flicked her hand. The front door flew open and I saw Diana standing there. When she saw me she gasped and rushed over to pull me into a hug.

"I can't believe you're back here again." She said

"I can't breathe Diana." I forced out and she released me a bit.

"I missed you so much," she mumbled, "I had no idea you were awake until she told me." she flushed crimson at the last sentence and I have an idea of what Adamaris saw when she went to their house.

She pulled away and I used the opportunity to really look at her. Her hair was in a messy bun and she was wearing a pyjama set with a black robe tied over it. Greg stood behind her in sweatpants and a plain shirt. As Diana moved away he pulled me into a hug. "Don't scare us like that again." He whispered and I cracked a smile.

"If you're done," Adamaris cut in, "I'd like to get to the purpose of my visit."

Greg took a step back and we all turned to her. I noticed Jake over her shoulder and gave him a small smile that he quickly returned.

"Why are you here?" it was Jake who asked, "I don't appreciate finding strange women in my bedroom at 1 a.m."

"Yesterday afternoon I was at home making a potion when I felt this searing pain like someone was trying to dig through my skull." She began, "I knew it wasn't a direct attack on me but on someone I was protecting."

"What does that have to do with any of us?" Diana asked, "We haven't had any attacks."

"You haven't, but she has." Adamaris turned to me, "Why didn't you say anything about the witch?"

"What witch?" I asked

"While you were taken did you ever meet a witch?" she asked and I shook my head, "That's impossible, for one you were guarded with so many cloaking spells I couldn't find you and then the pain, almost like someone was trying to break the connection and dig through your memories." "Maybe it happened when I was asleep," I offered.

"No, that kind of spell will wake you straight up." She thought about it for a second, "You don't remember seeing a witch."

"No I don't; I'm sorry."

She hummed to herself and sipped her coffee, "Where were you when they found you?"

"I think I was in the basement," I swallowed before responding.

"No," Jake cut in, "You were in a room in the cabin."

"I didn't go to the cabin. I didn't even know it was a cabin. The only time I was allowed upstairs was to see my father and sister."

"You weren't in the basement," Logan said from beside me, "He was there but you weren't."

Adamaris scoffed and everyone turned to her, "I think I know what happened but humor me one more time." She turned to Jake, "How exactly was she when you saw her?"

"She was in some kind of chalk ring," he said, "And she was out so I assumed she was drugged. What's going on?"

"The bitch wiped her memory."

"Why would she do that?" I asked.

"My guess is she probably told you something under the impression that she would do what she wants and leave quickly but he came to get you and she didn't want you knowing her plans."

"So you mean we have a crazy witch who wants something from Charlotte." Diana said

"Like I said, I'm just guessing," she shrugged, "All I do know is that she is from my coven."

"How do you know that?"

"It's a witch thing," she didn't elaborate, "Well then, just-."

"Wait," it was Logan who cut in, "How did you know she was taken?" everyone turned to him, "We never told you about it."

"I understand your skepticism but I'm bonded to her. She knows my name and I know hers. I knew the moment something bad happened and my- my daughter told me."

"How did your daughter know?"

"She's a seer," I whispered, "She all but told me a while back."

"So let me get this straight," Greg spoke up for the first time, "We have one crazy witch against us and another crazy witch on our side."

"I'll overlook the fact that you just called me crazy," she shot him a hard smile; "I'll do protection spells around your houses. I don't know who this witch is but you have to be careful. If you need anything, don't hesitate to find me." "Thank you."

She gave me a smile, "I almost forgot; congratulations."

"What is that for?"

"For the baby of course," She shrugged and everywhere went razor silent.
