That lethal bullet is what killed Nathanial, seems like it speeds up the process as well, being distributed in such a way. Nathanial was dead, along with the others, before the sun came up. I growled viciously.

Darting out of this wholly destroyed office, I ran out the door and headed towards the forest. Aragorn came forward, and I was in wolf form in a heartbeat.

We ran for a bit, my paws thundered on the forest bed, the scent of the dirt filling our nostrils as it kicked up beneath our paws. We push faster as I have a destination in mind.

Taking a sharp right, I headed for one of the cabins by the lake. Three minutes later, I was there. I shifted and strolled right in. No time for pleasantries, "dad," I shouted as I burst through his front door.

Since my mom died, my dad moved out here to be alone. I was initially concerned about him, thinking he might try to kill himself, so I moved into the spare room.

He has been doing so much better now. Ever since I have

    Alpha Zayne Steele"I appreciate you, dad," I turned and said to him.He turns to look at me. "I know, son"….After a moment of silence and simply sitting in relaxation, he said, "Son, these humans are not joking around, and you had better be prepared because they will return, and this time with more force.""Last night, they quickly learned that this is not another tiny wolf community, and they will return with the strength to match us. Which, for them, that simply means more men and more of those bullets they made.""Oh, this I know, dad," I replied. "I actually arranged for a few things," and I relayed my plans to him.He was in complete agreement and had some significant input, and we further discussed matters.I got up and grabbed another bottle of water from the cooler that he always has stacked with beers and whatnot. Sitting back on my chair, I said, "so I believe we can hold the line."Goddess, I hope I am right…..Leaving my dad's, I made my way home to get some rest. I had

    Daniela GreyWhile Aubrianne tried on the options she picked out, and she put aside what she chose to purchase. What she discarded, she gave back to the rep.My hackles are raised by that feeling of being watched. I casually drifted away from Aubrianne under the pretense of looking at other items as I discretely scanned the store we were currently in.However, nothing stood out of the ordinary, people bustling around simply conversing or store hopping like we were.I went back to Aubrianne's side, and they went on like that for about twenty more minutes in this store, moving from section to section, browsing, choosing out options, more squeals of excitement from Aubrianne, more interruptions from Daniel asking Aubrianne's opinion.More of my looking around uncomfortably but trying my hardest not to alarm anyone. Then we were ready to cash out and move on to the next store.We strolled for a minute and came upon 'Mystique.' "Let's check out Mystique," I said, directing them to the stor

    Aubrianne IvanovAubrianne lay in bed after a long day, and falling asleep took her less than a minute.She had gotten help from Daniel to bring in her bags, and after bidding him farewell, she undressed and headed straight to the bathroom.While she showered and dried her skin, she replayed today's events and smiled.Today started off interesting. Mr. Grey's almost heart attack replayed in her mind, and more and more, Jada's words rang loud and clear.Aubrianne was looking forward to her meeting on Thursday and, at the same time, was still determining if she was ready to face reality.She was still determining if she was ready to hear from Mr. Thornton and learn his reasons.She immediately tried to call Jada again, but to no avail, and this time it went straight to voicemail. Her phone was off or dead.Aubrianne yawned and stretched. She decided to spend her day unpacking all her luggage tomorrow, as Aubrianne had been living out of her suitcase since she arrived.

    Aubrianne IvanovAubrianne held the box out at arm's length and transported it back to her room. She laid it on her bed and examined it closely.Nothing special stood out about this box except tiny intricate patterns on the top cover, and the bottom had some words inscribed.She looked at the writing, and though it was a foreign language and one that she had never seen before in her twenty-two years of life on this earth, she understood what it meant.So she held it and tilted it as she read it aloud, 'otym drethgyier, e terasef, e jhuegt, e bkhry, e wierys.' Which means 'To my daughter, my flesh, my blood, my bones, my heir.'As those words left Aubrianne's lips, the box sparked. It was like an electric shock shot through Aubrianne's body, which caused her to let go of the box. The box fell and lay flat on the bed.The little latch on the front middle of the box started to glow a shimmering white ray of light. Then she heard a click, and the lid slowly opened.Aubrianne looked on cau

    Aubrianne IvanovAubrianne looked away from the piece of paper in her hand and finally glanced at the box's contents. In there was an almost clear emerald necklace and a small suede package.She touched the necklace, which glowed in her hands as it made contact with the rightful heir.Aubrianne's eyes lit up in awe and wonder.Aubrianne gently placed the necklace down, opened the small black suede case, and saw five small vials of a greenish liquid and the diary her mom mentioned.She pulled the small diary out and flipped through some pages casually, and the picture popped out. There he was. Or should I say there they were together, looking like a happy couple?Mr. Thornton and my Mom.Aubrianne felt horrible. How could she be so angry at her deceased mother? She was ashamed. But she was through the roof with the anger of her mother's selfish ways while on this earth.She was also grappling with the fact that she was a Hybrid if her mother was to be believed, and Aubrianne did not kn

    Aubrianne IvanovMr. Grey honestly did not know what her mother told her or if she knew anything, so he cautiously spoke, "Relax your mind and let your wolf come forward. All you need to do is relax your mind. Allow it to go blank, and breathe in and out calmly."Aubrianne first focused on her breathing. Coming down from all the adrenaline. She inhaled deeply, then exhaled a few times as her body slowly began relaxing."Empty your thoughts." Mr. Grey whispers. His voice was heavy with care and compassion.Mr. Grey's wolf, Kodak, began to stir within him as if he recognized or knew something he didn't. Since losing our mate, it has been a while since Kodak was active in any capacity.And suddenly, now, something caused him to stir.'What is it, Kodak,' Mr. Grey spoke within to his wolf. Which felt a bit strange to him.'I don't know, I am feeling a strong aura radiating from her.' Kodak finally answered. 'It feels Divine,' he whispered.Meanwhile, Aubriane loosened her tensed muscles,

    Aubrianne IvanovDaniel and his dad stared at Aubrianne's wolf form in awe. They were genuinely fascinated by the sheer power that radiated from her.'She is unique, but she is not our mate.' Already sensing where Daniel was heading, Cassius spoke, Daniel's wolf.Meanwhile, Aubrianne had continued chatting with her wolf, and then both agreed to talk more once everything settled and they were alone.Leia, the bearer of the 'tea,' that sneaky little white wolf, had some wisdom to pass on to Aubrianne, but also to give her the tea on the fact that she has been best friends with a witch for years and that her 'close to a brother' Shawn is actually a werewolf.Both Jada and Shawn were drawn to Aubrianne, and they meant her no harm. They were more of a protector and felt it deep within, like it was a calling.Even though they did so without question, they did not understand why. It did not make sense to them because Aubrianne was considered a human, though they both agreed that something di

    Alpha Zayne Steel'The f**k,' I cursed on the bedroom floor beside my bed. I woke up with a start at the loud blaring of a horn and some ear-piercing feedback from what sounded like a speaker.I heard, "we mean you no harm. We have a warrant to search every home in this community, as we have information that one of the wolves here has kidnapped a nurse and a doctor"…'Zayne!' I heard Mekhi's eager voice poking in. I let him in and answered, 'Yes, Mekhi, tell me what's happening.''It's the army, Zayne. The f**king military is here, hundreds of men. I jumped up quickly from the floor and headed straight to my closet, grabbing jeans and a shirt. I then went into the bathroom.I was going to grab a quick shower. I told Mekhi to give me a minute. 'The f**k you mean?' Mekhi responded. Mekhi must think I was losing my mind to be this calm after they announced they would search the property.I repeated casually like I had no concern or care in the world, and at the moment, I really didn't, a

    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.
