***WARNING*** Violence Ragnuff Crescent Moon Community I would prefer to go outside as I am not looking to make things difficult or uncomfortable for my mate in any way. "Hello, Sacha," I answered, tired and slightly annoyed. Smiling up at me, "would you like some company to grab a bite to eat?" She asks with such hopeful eyes, eyelashes blinking up at me expectantly. I sighed, as I was hungry but not in the mood for company. After my meal, I had more phone calls to make to rally some troops. I have some spots to fill, because of men lost, so no, I don't want company. I sighed again, rubbing my temples, "no, Sacha, I am quite alright. Too much to do. I will just grab something quick from the kitchen that Sylvia prepared, and I will head....." "I can help you with work. Where do you need me? I am at your service," She cut me off and said as she gazed at me eagerly, and I swore I caught a quick flash of desire in her eyes. I thought for a moment and then decided against it, as I w
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
