Alpha Zayne Steele Zayne was pleased when he scored an invitation to a ball that Alpha Thornton was throwing for some long-lost daughter of his or whatever, never mind that. What was important was the perfect opportunity to corner Alpha Thornton and try to get him to listen to reason. Because the man was not returning his calls. And by scored, he means intercepted. About a week ago, they picked up chatter about some grand affair from the Thorntons, which had piqued Zayne's interest. He had immediately sent out willing scouts to investigate the scenery and setting. And by 'investigate the scenery,' he meant to get their hands on an invite to this shindig. His team had sussed out what the chatter was about, then set out on their journey to the location. For this job, though, they had to travel overseas. As luck would have it, they came upon a mail van full of invitations leaving Thornton's compound. The team had managed to follow the van in their rental and got to steal a few in
Aubrianne Ivanov Aubrianne smiled sheepishly, "Oh goodness, Dani, Good Morning. My weekend was quiet and peaceful," which Daniel found strange. With someone like Jada in a house, how does it be quiet and peaceful? Aubrianne broke him out of his train of thought when she poked his shoulder and said, "Now tell me, what the hell is going on?" "Honestly, Aubri, no one expected you to come in today, even this week or at all," Daniel said, shrugging. 'At all?' Aubrianne's eyes went wide, "Daniel, tell me you are joking?" Daniel chuckled in response to Aubrianne's wide eyes and unbelieving demeanor. His eyes slid over Aubrianne, 'magnifique' Cassius spoke. Daniel scoffed inwardly at Cassius and asked, 'So he speaks French now? 'Oui je barbote.' Cassius answered, and Daniel rolled his eyes. Nevertheless, Daniel agreed with Cassius' assessment. Aubrianne looked so cute and hot in her chic business attire, high heels, and hair held together in a low ponytail. Aubrianne blinked up at hi
Jada Wilson Jada eyed Ivan, "I would soon start looking for the perfect spot, meanwhile, because when I return from visiting home with Aubrianne after the ball, I plan to dive straight into this." Ivan focused on the file before him rather than what Jada said. He was intent on seeing what would take his Jada away from him. Jada was brains and beauty. Ivan loved it. When he saw her plans, he could not have been more impressed and a bit surprised, he had to admit. And he immediately started thinking about the ideal spots for something like this, and a business like that would undoubtedly thrive in TL. The Thornton Household "Damn it, Christen, I am here, aren't I?" Theodore snapped! Closing the folder he held in his hands and slamming it down on his vast mahogany desk. His nagging wife was the last thing he wanted to deal with this Monday morning. He went to his home office to grab a few client files and head to TCTA when he was bombarded by his wife and her never-ending complain
The Thornton Household... "Oh, no, no, that is quite alright, Dad. I want to visit. Martha would take me where Mom lived." Aubrianne explains. "Oh, honey, I could have taken you to visit if you wanted to," Theo informs. With an arched eyebrow, Aubrianne asked, "Really?" "Yes, really." Theo nodded. "Ok, I just did not think you would have the time right now for a trip like that," Aubrianne says and shrugs. Aubrianne did not even think of Theo taking her to visit her mother's home right now. She figured she could do this when she saw Martha. It never occurred to her that her father would want to take her or have the time. "Oh honey, even if I don't have the time, I will make the time for you." Theo made it clear. Aubrianne realized her father wanted to be included in these things. Theo wanted to be included in this particular matter, the matter of his daughter being with two witches by herself. Witches that knew what she was. "Ok, Dad, now that I know, I will think of you fi
Shawn Louis Meanwhile, Shawn was in the backyard sniffing around. Aubrianne was lounging by the pool and watching him as she waited for Daniel and Tobias's arrival, assuming he was trying to see if Ron had also been in her home. Checking the perimeter for any lingering or strong scents. 'Goddess, where was this scent coming from?' Shawn was going crazy. This was the second time he smelt the most amazingly alluring, tantalizing scent he had ever smelt. It was like fields of flowers and roses mixed in with spring water. The first time he smelt such a fantastic smell was on Monday morning. He was in his room going through some paperwork he had brought with him when he and John were investigating Ron's whereabouts. His trail had gone cold. Well, now he knew why. It was because Ron was no longer in Clifton Hill. Nevertheless, it was when Aubrianne had poked her head in and bid him farewell, and she left saying, 'Happy hunting.' However, when Aubrianne opened her front door, a scent w
Shawn Louis Never did her body react to someone's voice this way. How does one's body respond in this way just to the sound of someone's voice? Kirrah's entire body had lit up when he growled at Brody for daring to speak to her. It was like warm, soothing radiation that traveled through her and settled at her core. She had steadied herself. Kirrah loved it. 'Possessive.' Hunter had purred, 'I love it.' Just being in his presence, she felt complete. She felt like he was the missing piece to complete her puzzle. Kirrah was twenty-eight, she did not give up on mates wholly, but she must admit she was beginning to wonder if she would ever meet hers. That thought led her towards Brody, but now she was fortunate to have met her other half. She could not wait to tell her family. Kirrah had a sister, and her parents were also alive and well. They all lived in a cozy two-story house at TL Crescent Moon Community. However, these days, she had been bunking out with a small team obliquely
Timothy Thornton Timothy made haste to locate his mother after he tried mind-linking her and got no response. His mind was reeling, and his heart was racing, but he pressed forward in his search. Goddess, he had been so wrapped up in himself, as usual, that he had not noticed his mother was suffering intensely. Sadly, Timothy had no idea if this was since Saturday or if it was an overnight squabble. He was that lost in the happenings with his mother, but he would soon find out. However, these past few days had been busy for Timothy; Timothy had sat and planned out the steps he wanted to take. First, he planned his steps to work out and build his body mass before he started training with the big guys. So he used the opportunity to work out with his father, and by that move, he accomplished two things. One, he got to spend time with his father, and second, it was while he got to build his body mass and muscles. Win, win, in Timothy's book and when he was not working out. Timothy
Timothy Thornton "It's not ready yet to show Dad, as I am awaiting some information to complete it, but what I was able to achieve is enough for you to see my determination, Mom, I promise," Timothy explained nervously as they went to his room. His palms were sweating, and he felt like this was a make-it-or-break-it situation. He hopes for the former. Timothy knew his plans were not ready yet for his father's eyes, as he was still awaiting emails on prices for some of the things that he would need to complete his plans. Nevertheless, he was convinced that once his mother saw what he was working on, she would know he was serious. He also hoped that in light of this change, she would rethink her earlier decision and not do anything selfish and drastic. Not now, of all times! She would not do anything selfish, right? Not when he was this close to impressing his father. How could she only think about herself at a time like this? No, she was his mother. She would not do anything rash
Alpha Thornton held the phone and crushed it before he could threaten Dr. Nathan. No. One thing he would never do is go at him unprepared without information. He would not further look the fool to this mere human.Plus, he did not want Ivan nor Jada to know who he was talking to, not to mention Ivan was already suspicious of him, he reasoned."Aubrianne has been kidnapped," Ivan said and took control because he knew Thornton would not be capable of thinking clearly after hearing such news.His eyes were changing from black to red, and he was about to lose control. Ivan told him to breathe, "Deep breaths," he said as he motioned.Then Ivan grappled with his phone and started making arrangements as he updated the guy who was still on the phone with them, and they went back and forth with updates and information.Open communications on both ends while Jada sat in a trance on a nearby plush sofa, trying to connect with Aubrianne or Shawn, and now Alpha Thornton sat frozen and unmoving…Ep
Aubrianne and Shawn cried out as Shawn rushed to Kirrah's side and brought her closer to him and Aubrianne as he consoled her with his tear-filled eyes and felt the most gut-wrenching pain in the midst of all this.And Aubrianne relaxed herself from clutching her chest, grasping her heart, trying to calm the beats, then wrapped her arms around them, trying to give comfort, but it was like her magic was not working, or she could not focus well enough to do the task.At this point, Aubrianne was kicking herself for not giving up herself. All the teams would be alive, not to mention Shawn's mate Kirrah."I should have surrendered. Maybe Kirrah will still be alive." Aubrianne started, but Shawn quickly cut her off, "I won't hear of it."He shut her down instantly."They would have killed us all anyway," Shawn spoke, his voice croaking. Realizing and accepting his faith, he would gladly die and meet his mate in the afterlife.But he had to be strong right now for Aubrianne, and they were s
The sound of tires screeching and the burnt scent of rubber filled their nostrils. And for a moment, they suffered from the force and power that reverberated through the vehicle after the blowing up of the jeep in front of them.Aubrianne's ears were ringing loudly and sharply. It grated on her soul."Zayne, we are under attack, Aubrianne screamed into the phone, not even hearing herself, as she clumsily and desperately tried to reach her lifeline, the phone connection to Zayne.*BOOM* The car behind them was now a goner, taken out with no survivors. More ringing in their ears, Aubrianne screamed towards the phone and informed Zayne the vehicle behind was now down.More vibrations rippled through the air in the wake of the loud explosion…The atmosphere was loud. You could hear the raging licks of fire stemming from the burnt vehicles that had ignited.Screaming came from the jeep behind that quickly died.The night then became suddenly still, and the air almost felt stagnant. Where
Unshed tears swelled in Aubrianne's eyes as she rapidly blinked them away, sniffled, and rubbed her itchy nose with the back of her hand. Goddess, her mom was dead and has been for a long time. She thought she was over this. But the dam burst. Aubrianne couldn't hold it back because this dream had felt so real. Martha burst through the room just as Leia shouted to ease her humans' dismay, 'We must get back to Mother Aubrianne. Snap out of it….' Aubrianne jumped up off the bed as if it was suddenly set ablaze. It was almost like a complete leap, the same way her heart leaped out of her chest, escaping its restraints in utter joy and confusion at that moment, still slightly groggy from her nap and grappling with reality.'You fainted silly,' Leia teased."Oh Goddess, it was not a dream; is my mother alive?" she questioned carefully as if articulating to two-year-olds. After staring wide-eyed at Martha, who was slowly shaking her head up and down in confirmation. While Leia also
Nevertheless, Daniela chose to listen intently. "Don't you see, all I have to do is bide my time?" Daniel expressed enthusiastically, giving hand gestures. His head tilted toward Daniela, staring into her eyes, not backing down or showing a hint of indecisiveness.No, he was certain."Wow, so you are serious about rejecting your mate?" Daniela finally asked. "Yes, I am," Daniel answered, not missing a beat almost before she finished her question."My plan is simple, sis; I would not get myself entangled in anything with anyone and simply wait." Daniela stared at her brother as if he had grown two horns. She could not help it. She snapped, "Who are you, and what did you do to my brother? Because this is not my brother I am talking to." She did not want to start calling him names, especially the fact that she thought he was a psycho.Daniel smiled almost eerily at Daniela and said, "It's me, sis." Daniela could not help but wonder if something sinister was going on. Something di
This was indeed overwhelming and euphoric at the same time, to say the least, for Aubrianne.Since her arrival earlier, Martha had been jolly, almost skipping through her explanations, fanciful as ever.This caused a giddiness in Leia as she listened to what she already suspected. She was wagging her tail and skipping around as if she truly knew what it was.Aubrianne hated this. She hated it when Leia did this - knowing precisely what was going on, but Leia would choose to wait for Aubrianne to figure it out.But she knew Leia knew that she would figure it out, eventually.It was like Leia was sort of testing her, and honestly, Aubrianne does not mind most of the time, but right now, she does not appreciate this about Leia.At All! Right now, she wanted to know what it was all about.Nevertheless, Aubrianne's eyes only widened the more Martha explained.Her security detail had dropped her off and set up two miles away at a motel after they ensured the area surrounding Martha's was se
Aubrianne said goodbye to Zayne and then to a few members as some had gathered around to say their goodbyes.Jada had already said goodbye to her over the phone as she had left so suddenly, but Aubrianne could understand, but she also felt for Mekhi.On this trip, Kirrah and Shawn were a part of Aubrianne's security detail. They moved with Aubrianne and two others, along with a driver.Then there was a full jeep in front and one behind them; Aubrianne turned, tiptoed, and kissed Zayne in front of everyone, whispering, "I love you." And he groaned out the same as he bent to reach her, engulfing her in a warm and comforting embrace.Aubrianne held onto him for dear life before they parted.They all filed in and went off.Zayne stood there till the vehicles went out of sight before he summoned the team that came in that morning and Mekhi to the situation room for debriefing.Meanwhile, when Aubrianne drove out of a Ragnuff Crescent Moon community, Jane Doe, over at the hospital, opened h
Aubrianne continued her sweet torture while her luscious lips slipped into an erotic smile with a seductive wink, followed by an innocent smile, then a wicked smile and devious eyes.Aubrianne was giving more faces as her body continued to move to the beat. Her body arched and moved while she finger-fvcked herself and played with her nipples, moaning loudly.She called Zayne's name, and soon, she came undone. She was burning with need, overheating, and was ready to be ravished.Zayne was on her in less than a millisecond. With her spread like that, he had no other choice, nor did he want another but to lick her core from top to bottom.Aubrianne trembled, and she pulled him up and pushed him over. While Zayne made a sound of surprise, his lips curled into a panty-dropping smile as he sat and watched his mate hop on top of him.She wanted him inside her NOW.And it was so they continued the night ravishing each other and having their fill, as if she was leaving for a year and not just
Aubrianne had plans for her Mate tonight. They moved about together as Zayne got his updates again when they returned, and then they prepared for her trip the next day.Jada bunked out with Shawn and Kirrah that night.Nevertheless, coming out of the shower, Aubrianne ordered Zayne to sit on one of the chairs in their bedroom.Aubrianne was giddy with love -head over heels in love. The past few days with Zayne have been nothing but fantastic.She saw her future at his side but knew they had a battle ahead. The chaos before the calm, she called it.They had a pending problem that needed to be dealt with before they got to 'happily ever after.' And that issue was Dr. Nathan White.Nonetheless, Aubrianne was here for it and with Zayne every step of the way, and she was not even scared, given her display when they were in danger at the parking garage.Aubrianne knew she was not yet versed in controlling her powers, but she also knew they would come through in the end and protect her and h
