Aubrianne Ivanov

But 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.

    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

    Aubrianne Ivanov "Fine! Then all I ask is that Daniel take me to the airport." With that, in the heat of the moment, I imagined myself storming out the room in haste and making my way out of this house, heading home and aggressively packing my things and...Yea, like I said, I imagined. Before I could have at least turned away from Mr. Grey Senior and taken a successful step to the door. He held onto my hand in a death grip.In response, my eyes narrowed on his hand gripping my own, and I aggressively yanked my hand away.My expression was very questioning and even more suspicious as I looked at him, eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed."What are...the words died in my throat. Mr. Grey looked like he was physically fighting with something and losing. He started to pale before my eyes.My fierce demeanor and stance simmered into one of care and concern, "Are you alright?" Lawd father, did I give this man a heart attack?"He will be back late tomorrow night, please…please Aubri.. don't

    Alpha Zayne SteeleZayne stood menacingly tall and proud, facing the Doctor at his side of the table, and BAM! He slammed his hand on it. Leans over, dominating the space, and growls viciously above him.Zayne's aura was stifling even for the human Doctor. Not all Alphas have that effect on a human, but Zayne was one of them that does. It was a powerful aura that the Doctor was not used to. Actually, he had never felt such an aura before. He was intrigued despite his current situation.He wanted to know more about werewolves, which is why he had signed up for the opportunity to run an experiment on them and change a human's DNA, turning them into these monsters.The sound echoed in waves across the room, giving maximum effect.Aragorn comes to the surface, and Zayne lets him peek out. The Doc's heart rate rapidly picks up as he literally jumps back in his chair. The noise of a chair scraping the floor was piercing, but Zayne was not fazed.The Doc looks at him, eyes wide and curious?

    Alpha Zayne SteeleStaring back at the situation at hand, "this is someone with deep pockets for sure, the person or persons behind this. I want you and your team to check back on all stories or clippings involving an animal attack.""An animal attack involving a female victim between the ages of four to twenty-five"—thinking of the girl in the photo, Zayne reached into his pocket and pulled out the picture.He showed him— "the girl in this picture is about four to five years old. Still, we have no idea of the exact age she was at the time of the attack as we don't have all the details."Goddess alone knows if this particular picture had anything to do with what the Doc said. For all they know, this could be one of the worker's kids who was there the night of the mission.Nevertheless, Zayne has no plans to leave any stones unturned.He handed him the photo and told him, "maybe this can help shed the pile and check around the time when all this started and then go back some years befo

    Alpha Zayne SteeleSacha was even already there with a group of warriors. Zayne strapped up with his guys as Sacha and her team headed out. At that moment, he felt pride for his fierce warrior. Sacha glanced at him, and he quickly nodded his approval."The guards are going down, these creatures are savage, there are about forty plus, I... I lost count, so many, there are so many," Rafael shouts through the mind link.Then in came Nathanial, "Alpha, we are going down. They are using a weapon that is taking out our wolves," he shouts through the mind link, "make sure you have on your vest, don't leave without your vest" he calls again breathless, "don't leave without your protective gear..." His voice cuts off."We have to be wise, they have guns that can slow us down, and they have some of their man-made creatures with them as more reports come in." Zayne quickly informed the others.Grabbing a vest, he shoots out the door, his men following, and they pile into a vehicle to take them w

    Alpha Zayne SteeleHis eyes behold one creature hovering over a woman currently sitting on a chair leaning forward, trembling, as she desperately tries to stitch up a gaping wound on another creature presently sprawled on another chair sideways facing her. It made it easier for her to simply lean over and tend to his injury.They were by a table, blood trickling down the side of the woman's face from a gash on her forehead, and her heart was racing a hundred miles per minute, fingers shaking as she tried her best under the circumstances to do the task before her.These f**king creatures, the f**k? Well, I'll be damn.A slight struggle sounded from upstairs, breaking Zayne out of his distracting thoughts and catching the creature's attention hovering over the woman.The creature quickly looks up through the hole and darts out of the kitchen, heading for the stairs. That's when Alpha Zayne used the opportunity to end this.He had seen enough! He leaped before the creature, quickly disme

    Aubrianne Ivanov"Really?" I rolled my eyes, then arched an eyebrow, and looking around again, it dawned on me. Did Mr. Thornton do all this for us? For me? Looking up and around, I saw so many cameras and thought, yes, he could be watching too."NO," shaking my head profusely, "like, for crying out loud, I have a Mercedes AMG-GT C Roadster at home sitting in my garage," I whispered to Daniel."I am sorry. I must apologize for the misunderstanding. I thought you already knew, and that's why you're here. I just got the order to see what you have chosen," Donna explained.I shook my head in response. Now I am suddenly sad as I remember Jada's words, "Do you think he is your father?" Then my mind wandered back to last night when I returned and tried calling Jada.She did not answer, and I have been trying her since. Weird, I thought. I made a mental note to contact Shawn.Nevertheless, I imagined Mr. Thornton being my dad. If that's true, it meant that he didn't want me because, for the

    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

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.
