Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 117 I Won't Fight to Keep a Male
Ann stared blankly at the open door in front of her.She had already tried to break free with Maeve's help, but Narcissa had sauntered to the doorway and sniggered as she strained against the bonds helplessly. Eventually, Ann had given up and Narcissa returned to whichever room she had appeared from.It was quite clear that even with their combined strength, there was no way that she was going to be able to get out of things this way.The hope she had felt at the prospect of Adam figuring out where she was had all but disappeared. Perhaps Narcissa was right about the male shifters... particularly wolves. After all, her father had betrayed her mother, Brad had betrayed her, and now Adam…'Don't you fucking dare start thinking like this Ann. What happened to the confidence you had only a few days ago?' Maeve snarled angrily inside of her.Her initial disbelief and misery had soon disappeared and had yet again been replaced by the fierce, uncompromising Alpha female that took no pris
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 118 Regrets Don't Make a Betrayal Any Better
Ann's arms rippled painfully with the vibrations as Brad sawed patiently at the bolts in the plate above her head. Sawing through the manacles was out of the question, as they were too tight and Brad was certain that they were made of the same material as the chains. They would need the key itself to unlock those, and if it couldn't be found, then they would have to track down the locksmith that made these. It was an arduous process but by the time he had finished, the plate slipped over the expandable bolts and the chains hung free. Her legs felt a little strange from being kept in that position for such a long time and as soon as the pressure was released from her arms and her weight was distributed properly, her legs gave way."Goddess! Ann, I'm so sorry! I should have thought! Are you okay?" Brad fussed as he rushed over to her and carefully helped her to stand. "I'm fine, really Brad," Ann said quietly as she tried to push away from him, it didn't feel right for him to be
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 119 I Would Never
"Don't fucking lie to me, Adam! I saw it with my own eyes! Narcissa made us watch as you lay down in her bed and fucked that whore Ada! How could you?!" Ann raged as Adam's face became more and more panicked.Lexi gasped loudly and grabbed hold of Ann's shoulders firmly, forcing her to look her in the eye."Ann, I need you to listen to me." She said firmly, seeing Maeve's fury burning bright in her eyes."Adam didn't betray you.""Lexi, I saw it! There were cameras and...""Will you shut the fuck up and listen to me for once in your damn life?!" Lexi roared, her frustration at her friend's refusal to listen and desperation to fix this spilling out of her.Maeve growled at Lexi's tone, but Ann remained silent, scowling at Lexi as she waited for her to continue."Adam didn't sleep with Ada, I promise you. He's been with me the whole time since you disappeared."Ann blinked up at her in shock.But she had seen it, as clear as day. She had felt her heart shatter into a million pie
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 120 Not Alone Anymore
Lexi's face split into a grin and she whirled excitedly to relay the news to Ann, but when she turned she was confronted with the sight of both of them still held tightly in each others arms, but it was almost as if they were frozen as they stared up into each other's eyes.The expression on their faces was an odd mixture of terror, and disbelief, but also excitement and hope."Erm, guys? Everything okay?" Lexi asked as she took an uncertain step toward them.Yet neither one of them responded, both too deeply engrossed in each other's gaze."Erm, hello?" Lexi prodded, slightly irritated now, "The bitch queen back here has been taken care of and all you guys can do is stare deeply into each other's eyes? What the hell…"Neither Ann nor Adam looked at her, both of them spellbound with each other's presence as Lexi's father came to stand at her side, dragging Narcissa's limp figure across the cold stone floor behind him by her hair.Lord Brarthroroz looked across at his daughter and

Lexi sighed in exasperation."Oh for fuck sake, you did, didn't you?! Ugh, you furballs make me sick sometimes. Come on, let's take your lovey-dovey asses upstairs so you can help other people feel sickened by your undying adoration for one another." She sniggered as she moved towards the staircase."You knew, didn't you?" Ann's voice called out suddenly as she stopped in her tracks at the bottom of the staircase.Lexi wanted to lie and say that she hadn't known, but she couldn't bring herself to do it anymore. She turned to face them both and smiled."I did know yes, but trust me when I say that there was no other option," Lexi said sternly. "If we had told you it would have negated the chance for the curse to break on its own, as it is, we don't know if it's the fact that Narcissa had her powers stripped, or if this little dilemma that my Mimic caused triggered the realization for you both… we'll probably never know." she shrugged as Ann and Adam exchanged a look."So the whole…
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate Chapter 122 An Apology An Apology Might Be a Good Start
He turned back to the conversation with Brad and struggled to absorb everything that was being said. It was all so outrageous and fantastical that it was hard to believe at first, but the more he heard, the more everything in his life began to make so much more sense.He lifted his eyes briefly, and his gaze fell on the sight of his daughter Ann, held tightly in Alpha Nocturne's arms as they strode forward together with Lexi at their side. Leopold's heart twisted painfully at the sight of her, and he knew that the chance of seeking forgiveness after everything that had happened was slim to none, but he had to try."Brad, excuse me for a moment…" He shrugged apologetically as he gestured in Ann's direction."Of course, your highness," Brad answered with a slight bow as he stepped back and Leopold made his way over to his daughter and her friends as quickly as he could. "Ann... wait..." Leopold said with a raised voice as he approached the three of them.Ann paused briefly and turn
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate Chapter 123 Welcome to the Dark Moon Pack
The number of people with access to the sensitive information that contained the details that the person would have needed in order to successfully sabotage his business interests was incredibly low.Added to that was the fact that security measures at the pack were so tightly controlled it could only have been someone n the inside and close to him, Adam found himself becoming more and more guarded toward the man that he once regarded as his closest friend. He scowled deeply out of the window at the passing scenery as the memories of that difficult time resurfaced.He never had found out who had been behind all of those issues. They had simply stopped without warning and no matter how much he tried to bait the culprits into acting again, they never resurfaced. The cessation of attacks certainly didn't correspond with any deaths or hospitalizations, or power balance shifts within the boards of directors, so he had been left wondering ever since. As they pulled into the long driv

"He'd probably enjoy that," Adam commented flippantly as they continued on, out of the darkness and into the bright lights of the packhouse.Whilst Allen had shown Lord Brarthroroz to the guest rooms, Adam had made sure that the omega's were aware that guests had arrived, and even at this hour, they made sure to prepare food and drinks for them all, in case they were hungry. Ann had pulled Lexi aside in the hopes that Allen would have an easier time of composing himself in front of Lord Brarthroroz without Lexi's presence, and she had managed to persuade her to follow her to her room so she could freshen up with her as they used to when they were teenagers getting ready for a night in full of pampering.So after a quick shower and a change of clothes they had made their way down to one of the lounges and waited patiently for everyone to regroup. "So, what's going on with you and Allen?" Ann asked nonchalantly as she poured them both a glass of pink gin and lemonade.Lexi almost

Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 302 A Puppuccino
As their convoy of cars and moving vans rolled up the driveway, Ann's stomach twisted uncomfortably as her anxiety set in. Regardless of what her babies were doing to her insides, the effects that her heightened emotions were having on her far eclipsed any discomfort that her pups were causing. She took a deep breath as she tried to calm the anxiety that knotted her insides and made her heart ache painfully. As far as she knew, her father was still living within the palace and she still wasn't sure that she could forgive him for everything that she had been put through because of his choices. In the worst-case scenario, she could always extend the palace to encompass two main living areas so that she wouldn't have to deal with tolerating his presence. She didn't even want to think about how she would explain to her children that they couldn't ever meet the incredible woman that her mother was because her father had an affair, broke the mating bond, and allowed his mistress and

"Right, I think that's the last of them," Adam grinned as he jogged through the huge doors of the Enclave's entrance hall to where Ann was pacing restlessly and Bartholomew was watching with mild amusement. "Finally," Ann sighed as she rubbed her belly with a grimace, "At this point, all I want to do is get my home back to what it used to be." Adam leaned forward and planted a kiss on Ann's forehead. "Are they making things difficult for you?" He asked gently, rubbing her back. Ann reached for his hand with a scowl and placed it palm down on top of her belly and grimaced as another flurry of movement rippled under her skin and Adam blinked in surprise. "Are they fighting in there?!" He asked in shock. "With two stubborn Alpha's for parents, I wouldn't put it past them." Bartholomew chuckled as he made his way over to them, smiling kindly. Ann lifted her gaze and her face softened as she looked at the kindly face of the old man that had been there for them through so muc
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 300 We'll Find Him
When Coral had returned with the Omega that worked as a nanny to the nobles, the baby boy was handed over to her and she waddled off happily, cooing at the baby in her arms as it gurgled happily back up at her. Coral began to work through updating the schedule for Ann as she dictated, adding additional notes that she shared with Allen's device. He would see to their schedule tomorrow as he had several days worth of reports to hear from Adam as to what had happened within the businesses and the Dark Moon Pack while he was away. Lexi made her way back to her room with both Allen and Greyson following behind her. She paused outside her door and turned to them both with a smile. "Sorry to disappoint boys, but I don't feel like getting frisky right now. Quite honestly, I just want to soak all of this crap off me." They nodded at her as she looked at them thoughtfully. "We really should sit down and have a discussion about how this is going to work between us all, you know." she
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 299 Kindred Spirits
"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that." Ann said a little breathlessly as she looked between Lexi, Allen and Greyson. Adam shared the same concerned expression as she did at the revelations that Eromaug would clearly stop at nothing to get his hands on Lexi. "You're absolutely sure that your father is willing to ally himself with us?" Ann asked as the baby in her arms began to stir and protest at the noise and unfamiliar surroundings it had found itself in. Lexi snorted loudly. "Of course he is. How could he not when his daughter is your right hand woman?" She winked. "We should put it to the council first." Adam said somberly as Lexi groaned loudly. "I'm sure they'll be thrilled at the opportunity," She muttered sarcastically as Ann laughed. "I think we should get hold of Bartholomew so that he can help us find a way to ‘tell' the council of our alliance, rather than ask for their permission." Ann mused thoughtfully, "He's pretty knowledgeable about who supports us,
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 298 Save the Baby
Ann and Adam stood on the front steps of the Enclave, eagerly waiting for the return of both of their Beta's. Adam chuckled as Ann fidgeted with her hands and struggled to stand still, her gaze fixed on the curve of the driveway. "They'll be here soon, don't worry." He soothed, wrapping his arm around her as she nibbled on her bottom lip. "What if something happened though?" She worried as she rubbed her little bump in an act of self soothing. Adam's eyes glazed over slightly as he linked with Allen and then grinned down at his anxious wife. "Allen said stop worrying, it's not good for the baby. They'll be here in seconds." "But…" As promised, the front end of the transport pulled around the corner of the driveway and Ann let out a sigh of relief. "See, my Queen? Nothing to worry about." Adam chuckled as he watched them pull to a stop in front of them. As soon as the door opened and Lexi's head emerged, Ann broke away from Adam and bolted down the steps towards her.
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 297 Because of His Obsession
Lexi knew that she was still conscious, but the pressure that engulfed her head, and the rigidity of her body teamed with the almost distant voices of protest from Allen and Greyson let her know that she had no control over what was happening right now. The initial black curtain that had descended was suddenly filled with hundreds upon hundreds of memories from her childhood, all played out in glorious technicolor and accompanied by sounds and smells that made her heart ache with familiarity and her breath catch in her chest. There was no way that she could catch each and every memory at once, but she could see it clearly. The bond that both she and Eromaug had shared at an early stage was filled with love and an intensity that she had known only with Allen and Greyson. By the time the images had begun to fade in her mind's eye and her vision returned, she was overwhelmed with emotions. As she sat there trembling, clasping her hands together tightly so that she wouldn't cry wit
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 296 Things Changed
Lord Brarthroroz guided Lexi over to one of the chairs around the table and gestured towards the flap of the tent. "Make sure no one enters for the time being, Steve." He said with an air of resignation to his voice as he took a seat next to his daughter. Steve nodded expressionlessly as he moved to the open flap, released the material to close it and ducked through to stand outside. "You two should sit as well," Lord Brathroroz advised as he gestured to the seats across from Lexi, "This isn't easy for me to talk about." He continued with a grunt. Greyson and Allen moved to comply and took their seats next to each other, both of them focused on Lexi. Lord Brarthroroz sighed as he turned back to his daughter and cupped her face fondly. "Before I start, I want you to understand that before your mother and I had you, neither of us realized just how deeply we could love and the desire to protect you from harm eclipsed everything else in our lives completely." He said gently a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 295 You Know That I Love You
It hadn't taken their force long to clear the halls and clean up the bodies that were left behind. The losses had been minimal on their part and considering the forces that they had thought they would be up against, their plans had meant that they had been far better equipped than the coven itself. The Coven had left very few prisoners alive, and the ones that were still breathing were in pretty bad shape. Lexi and the other healers and medics had done what they could but there was no growing back limbs…no matter how proficient of a shifter you were. Lord Brarthroroz had stationed huge numbers of his daemons within the winding passageways and caverns that the coven had previously inhabited and returned to the surface with his portalmancer Steve at his side. He strode angrily across the makeshift camp to the command tent and paused at the entrance, glancing across at the medical tent where Lexi had been working. Currently, she was cleaning her hands off as her mates watched
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 294 You Disgust Me
She stood and with one last look at the lifeless body below her, turned her attention to the chaos at the other side of the room. Narcissa had no problems keeping the attacks of the wolves at bay and Lexi could feel the emotions of the past few minutes bubbling wildly inside of her as she stormed towards her, her eyes blazing furiously. Her father was still making little headway against Eromaug, but she wasn't concerned about his survival, he was more than capable of taking care of himself against his bastard of a brother. Narcissa on the other hand…she had a lot to fucking answer for. Lexi strode through the fighters battling the twisted Daemons that had emerged from the shadows, throwing her magick lazily towards the monstrosities as she passed, a sneer curling at her lips as the shifters watched her in terrified awe. It wasn't long until Narcissa noticed her approach and her face split into a sneer that matched Lexi's as she swept her arm in front of her, knocking the ma
