Bartholomew sighed heavily as he poured fresh coffee into their cups and they took them gratefully. "Well, it seems that Lexi has found herself at the center of a love triangle, which unfortunately resulted in a brief scuffle in the common dining area for guests." He explained carefully. 'Oh she'll hate that..' Maeve sniggered sarcastically as Ann frowned. "Already? But she hasn't been here that long…" Ann said, a little awestruck at how easily Lexi seemed to find herself in these situations. "I understand that Lexi is quite a colorful character, but…does she often find herself in these situations?" Adam asked incredulously as he stared at Ann slightly open-mouthed. "I think you are both getting the wrong idea here." Bartholomew interrupted quickly as they both refocused their attention on him. "It appears that both males involved seem to be under the impression that they have some sort of claim on her." Adam snorted. "Good luck with that. I can't see Lexi allowing any

Bartholomew sat back in his chair and steepled his fingers in front of him as his eyes took on a far-away look. He had known Greyson since he was a young boy, and seeing him develop into the man he was today filled him with pride. To think that he was going to be thrown into the midst of the Royal Family and the tribulations that they were facing made his heart hurt a little, but there was no man more capable, and more loyal than Greyson was in his opinion. "Commander Greyson is a good man, my Queen. You have nothing to worry about from him." Bartholomew answered finally with a smile. "I understand, however, I don't have the luxury of knowing him as you do Bartholomew, so if you would care to elaborate, I would be very grateful. I have known Lexi since we were children and if anything, it will put my heart at ease to know that whoever she chooses, she will be taken care of well." 'I'm telling you, Ann, she won't choose between them. My bet is on her taking both of them.'

After finishing up with Bartholomew, Ann, and Adam made their way back to their room. Adam had some contracts to go over and was determined to conference call Allen and find out exactly what was going on. He had promised Ann that he wouldn't get too angry with him, but he wanted him to know just how disappointed with him he was. Things could have been so different if he had just acknowledged his bond with Lexi from the start and embraced it. He was an idiot, and Adam felt that it was about time that someone told him that seriously. Ann still had to finalize details with Eva for Coral's training and she wanted to at least be able to provide her with a full itinerary for the training schedule so she settled herself on the bed and began drawing up a loose schedule. Once she was done she grabbed her phone and called her. The sooner it was arranged, the better in her opinion as it seemed that things were going to get incredibly busy if delegates were arriving already. As she was m
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 181 Bullying was not Okay
With her plans for Coral now set in motion, she e-mailed the rough plan of the areas that she wanted her training in across to Eva and placed her phone on the bed at her side. Now all she had to do was get hold of Coral and let her know she would be going with Eva tomorrow. Ann made her way out of their suite after letting Adam know where she was going and headed down towards the Omega quarters, in the hopes that she would find her there. It wasn't long before she found some of the omega's milling about in the hallway, and as soon as they saw her, they stood and bowed their heads respectfully. "I'm looking for Coral. Have any of you seen her?" The girls exchanged a look and pointed down the hallway. "Last bedroom on the right your highness." They answered in unison, keeping their eyes firmly fixed on the floor. Ann frowned and nodded her thanks as she made her way down to the bottom of the corridor and knocked gently on the door. "Coral? Are you there?" There was a m

"Erm... that is… you know, I was going to lend her a book!" She stammered hastily as she shot a quick glare down at Coral who had scrabbled to collect everything that had scattered and was now picking herself up off the floor. "Ah… a book." Ann chuckled as she stopped only centimeters away from the omega. "And what book would that be?" "Erm… well…" "You are aware that lying to me is not advisable?" Ann interrupted calmly. "Y-y-yes Alpha Queen," The senior omega stuttered, trembling slightly under the weight of Ann, and Maeve's gaze. "You are also aware that I can tell when someone is lying to me… yes?" Ann almost purred as the senior omega began to tremble a little more violently. "Y-y-yes Alpha Queen…" "You are also aware that you, "Ann began as she inhaled deeply on either side of the omega's face before pulling her lip back in disgust, "you reek of bullshit. There was no book, now, was there?" The Senior omega appeared torn before she reluctantly shook her head.
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate Chapter 183 Elder Linus
Ann stared at the women who stood silently in front of her, herself utterly lost for words. They had actively sought help from her father and Narcissa and instead of helping them, they had gone straight to the accused and let him know about the Omega's allegations?! This was insane! "How long has this been going on?" Ann asked quietly. "For around five years now, your highness." "It stops now." Adam growled, "Give me his name and the girls involved." The Omega's looked at each other cautiously, but it was Coral who lifted her head and spoke. "Elder Linus, your highness. I don't know about all the girls involved, but these two should be able to give you the details," she answered shakily. Ann nodded and approached her slowly. "Thank you. I promise that it will be dealt with as soon as we have finished here. Ladies, if you could give Adam a list of all the girls involved, and anyone else that is implicated in any way, I want to move on this tonight. I won't tolerat
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate Chapter 184 You Will Regret
With the Omega's settled comfortably in their rooms, Ann left two guards outside each of their doors with strict instructions not to let anyone in or out other than herself or Adam. They made their way to the entrance hall in a grim silence. The horror that these girls had been subjected to over such a long period of time would take years to fix. She couldn't believe that her father could have been so impassive about it all. It was just yet another crime to add to Narcissa's long list of transgression's and when it came to the time for her to answer for her crimes again, Ann would not grant her the mercy of a quick death, she intended to make her suffer as much as her people had suffered under her rule. The Elders turned to greet Ann with deep bows and Ann used this time to search out Bartholomew, who had positioned himself at one of the exits to the entrance hall with a small retinue of guards. A quick glance to her right revealed the staircase lined with the royal guard,

Ann smiled tightly as Alpha Felix surveyed the chaotic scene behind her with interest. He was a good-looking man, with stern yet handsome features and powerfully built. His Luna stood next to him, a welcoming and friendly face surrounded by a mass of black, messy curls that gave her a slightly wild look as she eyed the furor warily. "My apologies, I had hoped to have this resolved before you arrived." Ann offered with a small smile. Felix chuckled and waved his hand dismissively. "You run your kingdom as you see fit, my Queen. Justice cannot wait for such a heinous crime in my opinion. You have acted as befits the royal line, there is o need for apologies." He said before crossing his arm across his chest and bowing respectfully, his wife and the men behind him following his example. "It is a pleasure to be here your grace, regardless of circumstances. Thank you for receiving us." He continued as he stood upright and beamed widely as he gestured to his wife, "This is Aoi

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

"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
