Alpha Zayne Steele POV. ***WARNING***Triggering Content By this time, it was four forty-five am. We should be back by six am, earlier if we make haste. Arriving back at the compound, the vehicles pulled up, and I immediately gave out orders, first for the Warrior, "take him to the infirmary and get the witch. Tell her what happened. She will know what supplies are needed." It is known that we cannot survive a bite, but the witches can make a potion to help us be as pain-free and comfortable as the infection spreads through our bodies, killing us slowly. We don't suffer anymore, but only those of us who have access to such a potion... I continued dishing out my orders, "Get the prisoners to the dungeon, and then we'll meet in the situation room in an hour. I want an account of everything that happened on each floor of that building." "Yes, Alpha!" there were answers and nods between them. They were all in agreement. I thank my Elite warrior task force for sticking with me on yet
Picking up after events of Chapter Three Alpha Zayne Steele Alpha Zayne quickly forms a plan to send out Jovi with a team to Alpha Dartwood's community to get a hold of the phone and run the trace reversing the tap. Once that is completed, and we have a location, they can stay for one month, both him and his pack. Thankfully Alpha Dartwood's pack was small. Alpha Zayne sat up, straightened his shoulders, and laid out what he wanted, then said, "that is what I want, take it or leave it, also while my team makes the trip to your community and back, you are welcome to stay here, Mekhi will arrange rooms for you and your family on the third floor of the pack house." Alpha Dartwood's eyes widen. This he can work with. However, he was surprised at the request, "might I ask why?" He was curious to know what Alpha Zayne was planning. "No, you may not." Alpha Zayne was not about to divulge anything to this weasel. "Do we have a deal?" "Yes, we do." Alpha Dartwood backed off, satisfied he
Aubrianne IvanovI woke up, and a wave of loneliness smacked me. I was in a completely different and an entirely new place. The bed I lay on was foreign and strange. A good strange.Sadly I am also feeling a bit melancholy. To top it off, my nose feels stuffy, and my throat is scratchy.The room is dark, I am thankful for these blackout curtains right now, but I know it's late. I can just tell.I was well rested, on the other hand, but not sure I was ready to face today. I stretch out like a kitten, a few bones cracking.Snapping out of it, I ready myself to face the day anyway.This brings me to the first thing I need to do: have a word with Mr. Grey, but I need to talk to Jada. Stretching over, I reached for my phone, made a mental note to put my new phone to charge, and dialed Jada's number.She picks up on the second ring, "heyyy, Aubriiiiiii, morning babe." Gosh, I miss her cheeriness."Heyyy Jada, morning hun," I croak. I clear my throat. I suppose it was from all that bawling I
Aubrianne Ivanov Daniel and I carried on light conversations on our drive to Gloria's. He told me a little about himself apart from what I already knew, like where he works, places he likes to hang out, etc.Nevertheless, I listened.Daniel likes swimming, an activity he and I enjoy.Though, because of his work schedule and community responsibilities, whatever that means. He said he rarely gets to do it, which was less often than he would like.He used to be up in those mountains daily as a youth.Like me, he also enjoys binge-watching TV series or watching a movie marathon.Then he starts listing off TV shows, "shut up! Dude, you watch Anthony's Anatomy? No way!" I said, shaking my head at him and pointing an accusing finger, my body slanting in my seat, facing him."Yes, I do," he admits, "but I don't anymore. It lost its fervor a long time ago."I leaned back in my seat and stared at him in shock and disbelief, eyes blinking, eyebrows creased, because I felt the same way, and mayb
Aubrianne IvanovDaniela turns, smiles, and winks at me, and I smile back. She is beautiful, with blond hair just like her brother, but she has grey eyes and not blue like his.We sat in one of the kitchen 'areas' or should I say settings?All three of us immediately hit it off. From that moment onwards, we chatted, laughing loudly and joking around.More so, Daniela and her brother, with the joking around, but it was sweet to watch.Soon our waiter came, and we all collectively paused and glanced up at the waiter.It was Miguel, a familiar face—he greeted us, handing us our menus. We quickly browsed and placed our orders. Daniela and Daniel already knew the breakfast menu by heart, making it easy for them to choose, and I already knew what I felt for.I decided to have an omelet, toast with bacon, and sausages. While Daniela had pancakes, and Daniel had baked and shark.Soon we were back at it picking up where we had left off. Daniela started giving me her take on the hot spots to ch
Aubrianne IvanovBut like I said, I am no expert."Is everything alright?" I asked. Concern, well, more curiosity was laced into my voice.We were approaching the library."Oh," snapping out of his.... whatever that was a bit startling, which he quickly recovered from, by the way, "it must have been so hard for you, I can only imagine," he answers.OK then, seems like he is not going to elaborate on what that was all about, all his hand movements and neck rubbing. Is he really going to act like it's nothing and decide to deflect?I thought we had passed this and opened up to each other. I inwardly rolled my eyes.Taking a deep breath, I looked up at the library suddenly, it being the most exciting thing in the world, wondering why he is being cagey. I then exhaled before my mind took its own path on the matter.Then, after a beat, "We are here.""Come this way," Daniel directed me through a side door. It was not the main entrance.We made our way in."Side entrance? Do you have shares
Aubrianne Ivanov Nevertheless, despite all this indecisiveness, one thing I do know is that I am ready for some shopping. Therefore, after talking with Mr. Grey, Daniela and I will do just that. I fix up a quick breakfast, and by fix, I mean heat up Daniel's dinner from the night before and get orange juice.Sitting at the counter in the middle of the kitchen, I reminisce about yesterday evening into last night while I ate.The library, I moan as I bite down on the burger. You could get lost in there. I pondered a moment... oh, and the amusement park. Daniel and I had so much fun there.He won me a giant teddy bear, and I was also pretty good with the rings. Ring toss is what they call it, where you are given four rings, you aim and toss the ring at what you want, or what you might consider an easy target, and whatever it circles you get.We walked away with a two-liter soft drink, a bottle of cheap whiskey, a scented candle, and two champagne flutes.We have definitely gotten a lot
Aubrianne Ivanov At this point, I was nervously rubbing my hands on my fitted jean-clad thighs as I tried to calm my nerves, to no avail. Telling myself, just breathe, Aubri, just breathe, I repeated. Daniel put the vehicle in park. He then gently reached, took one of my hands in his, held onto it, and then slightly squeezed. My eyes followed his movements, then I looked at him. His gorgeous blue eyes showed a sincerity that spoke to me. It was like he was saying, 'Take your time.' 'I am here for you.' He loosened his grip and simply held my hand, gently rubbing the back as he waited. He patiently allowed me to have my moment. His soothing strokes brought me some comfort. I steady my breathing, and my heart slows to its normal riddim. Then he says the words I had been hoping for but now feeling slight dread about. Or maybe it is anxiety again. I don't know, AHH! I just don't know right now. "Okay, so we are here," Daniel spoke, taking me out of my screaming mind. He then switch
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
