They were out for a few more hours when, this time, Aubrianne stirred. She woke up and realized she was draped over Zayne.Her leg and hand sprawled across him, her head resting on his sexy, eye-candy, muscular chest.Aubrianne stretched her body out and then reverted back into the position she was in, her head nestled in his chest.She glanced at her exquisite ring while flexing her left hand and fingers while she imagined her wedding day.Then, her mind wandered to what had happened earlier. She realized she had passed out and wondered what happened to Zayne.She inspected him, and as far as Aubrianne could tell, Zayne was fine.If his beating heart were any indication, because it was beating steadily in her ear, pressed against his chest. She also felt fine, with no pains or aches that would be alarming.Aubrianne's head tilted up, and she watched and admired Zayne's stubbled chin and the sexy outline of his neck and throat when a mischievous smile graced her lips.She slid lower d
The day had quickly winded down for the pair, and they were now lying on the bed—Aubrianne draped across Zayne's chest, which was quickly becoming her favorite spot.They were both relaxed in contentment as they reminisced on the night, both giddy with the knowledge that they had shared a perfect night. That was her Luna ceremony, then his surprising proposal and the fact that she said yes, and they were now engaged.They talked of the Luna Ceremony and the fact that it went off without a hitch, Zayne's surprise proposal, and Aubrianne admitting she had no idea. It totally caught her off guard. She babbled, "but when I realized what you were about to do, I already knew my answer because there was no doubt in my mind."She held his gaze now, "I want to be your wife, and I want you to be my husband…I want it all."Zayne lifted her chin and kissed her lips softly, tenderly. "And you have made me the happiest man alive, Aubrianne Ivanov Thornton."His gaze was intense, and Aubrianne swa
However, what Jada had to say was the last thing she expected to be saying. Meanwhile, Mr. Ivan Grey's wolf hearing, Kodak, was already on the surface, with so many conflicting emotions running through them.They could not believe what they'd heard, and there was no mistaking that. That wolf surely scented Aubrianne; it was a huge possibility the claims were valid.Wolves are always sure about their mates and are always right. Ivan felt sick to his stomach at the thought of what he was about to lose...Jada was shocked and suddenly panicked. This was not supposed to happen. Was she ready for this? She'd witnessed Aubrianne and Zayne's interactions and Kirrah and Shawn's.With her treatment of men, she simply hooked them and tossed them when she was finished, only playing with them for a short time. She might just get the cruel Mate.Or, maybe things might be good with her and her Mate?"Jada?" Shawn called again, worried he stunned her into speechlessness.Silence...After a while aga
And that is another thing Jada loathed. She was so distracted at the time she did not even think of doing a spell to block out the audience, giving her and Mekhi some privacy.But she was not focused. She needed to be on top of her game.Jada was not herself. She suddenly felt all goo-goo ga-ga over a mate who could not even look at her.She was disgusted at this foreign feeling, angry, hurt, and it was all over this dude."Yes, yes, I know, honey. "Aubrianne cooed and side-eyed Zayne. In turn, he acknowledged her and headed toward the room where Jada stormed out as things were being broken in that room.Meanwhile, Aubrianne took Jada outside, and they ventured toward the garden for a private and quiet moment. There was so much Aubrianne wanted to say to Jada about her time here thus far and what she had experienced these last few days, but she would be here for Jada right now."Tell me everything," Aubrianne whispered, stroking Jada's hair and back. They found a bench beside a large
Ivan could not stop the smile tugging at the corner of his lips at the memory of Jada in his room the first night she came to their home with Daniel."It just happened?" Daniela moved into the kitchen area, asking incredulously, eyes almost bulging out...She then dropped the heels she held in her hand at her feet before climbing up on the stool, arching a brow at her father, placing her chin in her hand propped by her elbow on the kitchen island, ready to listen.Daniela was curious about what this was. If it was all about having fun, she was okay, but if it was more than that on her father's part, she did not peg Jada as the settling-down type and did not want her father getting hurt.Ivan had told Daniela simply that he had met Jada when Daniel brought her home. They instantly hit it off, and he considered taking their relationship up a notch.He eyed Daniela at his last words and saw her eyes widen, "No, Dad, are you sure about this?... Jada does not seem like the type that settle
No, Jada was not, but she was still amazed that Ivan kept her interested this long. Maybe it was a wolf thing.Ivan was growing on her, and Jada was getting so comfortable with him. She was enjoying the smooth flow of things and how they just clicked.She had not felt like pushing him away just yet. She thought she was okay holding on to Ivan for now.Jada could honestly say she had missed him and was looking forward to all their alone time and freedom because she knew it would return to how it was when they got back.Although Jada then recalled how he'd snatched her out of Shawn's arms. Unquestionably, people would already be speculating. And she was unsure of how she felt about that.Jada was enjoying things as they were - private, just the two of them. It would be out and in the open when it became public. She wanted to honestly stay in this remote and secluded bubble.Ivan had shown Jada how much he missed her till the sun came up the following day; they had rested and woken up, a
It's a new day in the Ragnuff Crescent Moon community, and the air is a mixture of love and happiness, heartache and turmoil, hurt, jealousy, envy, confusion, and conflict.The newly engaged couple woke up to a day filled with plans, starting with a tour of the city. However, this was all after Alpha Zayne got his updates and briefings.They had breakfast with Jada that morning as she had spent the night at Alpha Zayne's home away from Mekhi and the community house.Jada was still fighting against the mate bond she refused to succumb to, especially when it was clear that her mate did not want her.She had laughed and cried all night. 'Of course, it must be her that ends up with a mate that does not want her.' Jada bitterly thought.Given the circumstances, her mate could not even look at her.Even though she knew his ordeal and was willing to give him time and space if that's what he needed, and even if it was the other way around and in this scenario, he was instantly into her, she w
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
