Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 236 The Extra Visitors
After meeting with Bartholomew in his office and discussing the many ways that Linus may try to spin his defense, they set off together toward the Court of the Elders. The irony wasn't lost on Ann that only a short time ago, she had been the one standing in front of them all at the bottom of that intimidating amphitheater as the accused party, and now, she would be presiding over the fate of others. The trials had pretty much come to a halt during the coronation proceedings and after the daring yet deadly escape of the convicts during their transport, the rest of the prisoners held within the Enclave were being kept in the holding cells until it was deemed safe for transport once more. But now that the celebratory period had ended, Ann knew damn well that her workload was only set to increase as new trials were added to her schedule. She made a mental note to check up on the progress of Coral's training with Eva as they pulled to a stop in front of the enormous doors. "So… h
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 237 Breeding
Linus was brought in under armed escort with the sort of sleazy smirk that made Ann's skin crawl. Although his appearance gave the impression that he was slightly unhinged, Ann knew that underneath it all, his vile little mind was as sharp and depraved as ever. He shrugged the guards away angrily as they positioned him at the podium and sneered at them. "When this farce is all over, I'll take your heads… mark my words." He hissed viciously as they walked away without a backward glance to their former positions. Linus's gaze ran around the circle above before dropping and settling on Ann's face as a smirk spread across his thin lips. "Your grace," He greeted in a tone that was clearly mocking as he inclined his head and quite openly allowed his eyes to roam up and down her body as he licked his lips. "Dirty Bastard..." "Shhh!" "You shhh!" The voices of Lexi and Allen trickled down to her from above and the faint sigh of resignation that she was sure belonged to Barthol
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 238 The Law Has Passed
The murmurs that came from above her meant that she had been right in thinking the majority of Elders had no idea what she was talking about. "Your grace, there has been no such law…" Ann turned to look up at the circle triumphantly. "No? Every single person's signature is on it, so that means that either you have forgotten you have signed it, or… the alternative is that you yourself, have not actually bothered to read the stacks of paperwork that come your way and have instead entrusted the signing of those documents to another person… which I should remind you is a dereliction of duty and also fraud... which I believe also carries a sentence." Ann said as she tapped her chin thoughtfully, "Now, what was it… ah! Yes! The stripping of titles, and holdings, and either imprisonment or exile… purely at the current monarch's discretion of course." She smiled sweetly. The person who had spoken out cleared their throat and it was quickly followed by the familiar sound of Lexi's sn
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 239 True Power
As soon as Linus was led away, the upper circle began to clear and Ann made her way to the exit. As she reached for the handle of the door, she was unable to get a grip on it as it was pushed forward with a furious force and she stepped back just in time to avoid the doors smashing into her face. The furious figure of Cornelius stood before her, his face red with outrage as he opened and closed his mouth soundlessly. He held a shaking finger before him as he pointed at Ann. trembling with rage. "You… you..." He spluttered as Ann quickly overcame her shock and smiled innocently up at him. "Careful now Cornelius, you should really be a little more careful with your blood pressure at your age," She said with fake concern, pushing his outstretched arm down and looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes. "This won't stand you know..." He hissed, "You'll get your comeuppance..." "Yes, I'm well aware that many people seek to dethrone me or end my rule already purely because I'm lo
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 240 Girl's Night
Ann had gotten herself changed quickly and was waiting for Lexi to come and let her know when she had changed so they could both go and collect Aoife for the girl's night. They had decided to hit one of the quieter bars in the Enclave the Omega's that took care of it had already excitedly announced that they would take care of the food and drink for the evening. Ann had tried to insist that they would pay for everything, but the Omega's were uncharacteristically stubborn. They had even arranged for the bar to be closed to all males for the evening so that the women could let their hair down and relax without fear of being judged. Not that any of them really cared what the elders thought, but it would be a nice change not to have to worry about any rumors originating from men that really should know better at their age. The female elders tended to be much more open-minded and so far, Ann hadn't encountered any opposition from them. They were seemingly all too eager to see a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 241 A Good Friend and Ally
Ann blinked at Lexi in confusion. "Wait, I don't understand. What are you saying? Are you related then? And… wait... why would I feel that she's familiar?" Lexi stopped and turned to Ann, sighing slightly. "Because, Papa said that before she died, my mama and yours were good friends. She tried to help her fight against whatever it was that was smothering her soul but… well... you know the rest." Lexi explained seriously, all humor gone from her face as she suddenly seemed almost melancholy, "So it turns out, both of us have been around the type of energy that Aoife carries with her. Papa thinks she's a witch too, not like Narcissa or Ada though, the ones that were hunted to extinction around the time that mama… well... you know." Lexi trailed off sadly. "But, wait… I thought there were no other witches left. Did they escape then?" Ann asked eagerly. This information was monumental. Adam's family had close ties with a so called 'good' witch who had helped them with the charm
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 242 A Long Story
The night was going exactly as Ann had hoped it would. Lexi had been correct in her initial assessment of Aoife, she really was a dark horse. The Bellevue alcohol barely seemed to touch her and as the omega's brought across the third bottle of the evening, the mood was high. "Honestly though, I think there's a lot of people who would kill to be in your position," Aoife gushed as Lexi snorted in disagreement. "Then they can have them, seriously. Having one guy watch your every move and try to tell you what you can and can't do was unbearable enough, but now I'm supposed to have two? Well, that's just plain rude." She moaned as she scowled at her glass. Aoife laughed. "I'm sure it will get easier. You just need the grumpy, stiff one to accept that it is what it is, then everything will work out, you'll see." "Grumpy and stiff...? Allen? No… he's already…" Lexi frowned in confusion as Ann and Aoife burst out laughing. "No! Greyson! He's completely the brooding type. Allen
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 243 No Work Tonight
The rest of the night went well, the more they drank, the lighter the mood got and Ann sat back happily in her chair, listening to Aoife excitedly answer Lexi's questions about her family and the magick that they used. They had explained to her already Lexi's father's theory about why they both thought that Aoife felt so familiar to them, and Aoife was positively over the moon that she could finally talk freely about herself and her abilities. Lexi was leaning over the table, with her chin resting on her hands as she absolutely devoured every word that Aoife was saying, and Aoife chatted animatedly as Ann sipped from her glass with a faint smile on her face. She had taken a rest from the Bellevue selection that Lexi and Aoife were working their way through as she was starting to feel a little queasy, and had switched to a non-alcoholic strawberry and lime concoction that the omega's had only too happily whipped up for her. 'I still think we should keep her..' Maeve whispered
