One of Zayne's men had followed them in from a reasonable distance and confirmed the apartment number. They got in after five failed attempts to get close to the apartment without tipping off Dr. Nathan or being noticed by anyone.

They did not want one whiff of anything getting back to Nathan to spook him or arouse any suspicions.

And that proved challenging because it was either someone going in or coming out of the apartment building or even the cleaner lurking in the hallway doing his job.

How convenient, at this hour.

The witch Alpha Zayne sent with them did a spell to mask their aura, giving them the essence of a human.

But they had all their abilities.

Finally, after thirty more minutes, they could sneak into the building and into Nathan's Apartment.

The team came up on Dr. White and company unexpectedly in his living room, having a few drinks while he was rambling.

They heard almost every word spilled from his nervous mumblings. In here, they could listen to him clearly, babbli

    The forces might have doubled if they had been expecting Zayne. Zayne had taken the time to explain things to Mekhi. Zayne refused to have Mekhi beat himself up over this.Because Zayne knew within himself, it simply was not the case, and he needed Mekhi to get better and not wallow in what he saw as his failures.After more back and forth, Mekhi resigned to Zayne's estimate of events.Then an elated Zayne simply stared at Mekhi, his blue eyes twinkling, a broad smile on his face. Still, before he could say anything, Mekhi's eyebrows pinched, his eyes narrowed, and he instantly sat up, "Oh buddy," his tone curious, "tell me we got help."Mekhi assumed Zayne's smile was about his trip and hoped it yielded results. He knew they needed it now more than ever, and hearing that they had Alpha Theodore Thornton's backing would simply make his day.It would mean all was not lost. It would mean that this might actually be over soon.Zayne's expression was the same, except his smile grew wider,

    Nevertheless, Zayne was thankful that his plans at that meeting he held with his team also yielded results for him.Even the higher-ups that Colonel De Four came through with concerning the critical players involved that were a part of the military.With the means to bug, they had started visiting each of them. Bugging their homes and person. Even the one that gave the order to visit Zayne's community.Some instances proved challenging as there was more security at the homes of some of these higher-ups. However, with Carlita's help, they made waves.They had even found out that Sheila had never shown up at the Buccoo Valley Memorial Hospital, but in the end, they had already found out that she was with Dr. Nathan White when he had an appointment with Aubrianne.Sunday passed quietly. The only activity was Mekhi insisting he meet with Mira to get the flash drive. Mekhi and Zayne had made the trip, and the USB yielded results just as suspected.And so the surveillance of the ins and out

    Aubrianne looked at Zayne, flabbergasted, eyes wide, cheeks getting redder. 'Oh goodness, I could walk and greet his people. Don't tell me he plans to walk around with me like this.' She frantically thought, almost panicked.This is definitely not how Aubrianne imagined meeting Zayne's people. Plus, she wanted to properly acknowledge Mekhi and talk to him.Aubrianne leaned in and whispered, "Baby, please, I can walk." As soon as the words left her lips, she felt his hands tighten again.Zayne had missed Aubrianne with every fiber of his being; he had gone through sleepless nights. The little time they had together was cut too short.He'd longed to have her in his arms again, and now that she was there, he struggled to let her go.It was a battle, as both he and Aragorn felt the same. None could help the other; let go.Aubrianne gazed desperately into his beautiful blue eyes, wrapped her hands around his neck, and said, "Baby, please, let me talk to Mekhi and meet the others." she gest

    "Guys," Alpha Zayne boomed, cheerful and proud, "Please allow me to introduce you all to my destined mate and Luna and your soon-to-be Luna...Aubrianne Ivanov. Aubrianne, this is everyone... here we have my father, Zachary...And Zayne made the rounds introducing all that were present.His eyes twinkled as he smiled from ear to ear, the air around him calm and relaxed as he moved from person to person.His father had held her hand and kissed the back of her palm, his eyes glittering with something as he gazed upon his son's mate, the wheels in his head turning only because of his son's mate's alluring aura.Aubrianne met a few of the men that fought by Zayne's side on these missions, and Aubrianne thanked them for having her mate's back. She believed that because he had them, he was alive today.And as such, she had the chance to meet him.Aubrianne felt a wave of emotion while thanking the men who, time and again, fought alongside her mate.She was grateful for the mere fact that he w

    Zayne could not fathom how he’d found himself in this scenario again, with the only difference being that, this time, it would be more of a challenge because there were no risks involved.They are no longer concerned about Aubrianne’s magic and unbinding her powers.Now it was free reign, and Zayne was not even going to sugarcoat this... He was struggling with it. So much so that he was willing to give in and let the chips fall where they may. He was not even going to try and lie to himself.It is what it is.But as time passed, more and more, Zayne battled with his conscience, simply because he was actually thinking of saying to hell with it. And he could not believe he was willing to.He needed to do this the right way for his people, to do right by them, and here he was willing to look the other way.Zayne realized he truly needed to talk to his mate for his sanity.Meanwhile, Aubrianne was oblivious to her mate's battle as she was having one of her own. Goddess, she did not think

    "No, it's not even ringing. It's still going straight to voicemail," Aubrianne protested as Zayne opened the front passenger door to his Jeep, and she got in.Zayne went to the driver's side, hopped in, started the vehicle, and they were on their way. A short drive to the field.He said, "Oh, babe, I know you wanted to tell her about the ceremony. Hopefully, we might have better luck in the morning." Zayne tried to reassure Aubrianne that there was still time, reaching over, taking hold of her hand, and gently squeezing.Nevertheless, soon they were there. Aubrianne quickly saw the massive transformation from when they passed earlier in the day.The moon was bright and magnificent tonight, lighting up the sky marvellously and shining down on them. The lighting in the field is beautiful. So many vibrant colors from the Christmas lights placed around the two tents set up twinkled. As if highlighting it.One tent for drinks and the other for food.Running lights outlined the music boxes,

    Aubrianne then headed towards the food tent to grab a bite. The food tents had chips, dips, fondue, popcorn, a hot dog bar, fries, wings, and a stall of fresh, juicy fruits—watermelon, oranges, apples, grapes, berries, mango, guava, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, and bananas.And in a separate section, there were all the goodies to make s'mores and some other goodies. Marshmallows, chocolate, cream cheese dip, lots of crackers, infused marshmallows (wink, wink), peanut butter cups, flavored marshmallows, and even bacon strips.Kirrah had joined Aubrianne at the food tent, completely missing her heading there as she was looking at her mate flexing and cutting more wood.And some she-wolves were ogling. Kirrah did not like it one bit, but they were just looking, and she trusted her mate, but boy, did she want to gouge their eyes right out of their sockets.Nevertheless, she was so caught up that she had even missed the interaction with Mekhi, and she hoped he was okay. He seemed like

    Aubrianne was on a roll, and in her comfort zone, in which she excelled, she went on to discuss colleges with a group of young she-wolves.Aubrianne had shared her experience in life, her education, and her career plans as examples when she explained, displaying that she was not just a talker but that she’d walk the walk and encouraging them to do the same.Even with the adults, she clicked with them wholeheartedly, listening to their day-to-day lives and already giving advice and comforting words. One member even complained about sales in his business, and Aubrianne had discussed cost-effective ideas to spice things up a bit.Even though Aubrianne was casually chatting, sharing her knowledge, and learning from them as well, she did not know just how much this meant to Zayne.Pride swelled in his heart. She was the perfect Luna, so natural at it, and the thing is, she did not even know that. Recalling how nervous she was earlier.Aubrianne was spinning out of control for a good minute

    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.

    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.
