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
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 244 Portraits
The next morning Ann saw very few people in the corridors as she made her way to the room that Bartholomew had set aside for use for the portrait today. Maeve had already been insufferable today, waking her early on with her insistent chatter and asking whether or not she should shower and bemoaned the fact that no one was around to rub fragrant oils into her coat. She didn't take kindly to Ann's suggestion that no one really liked the smell of wet dog anyway and had skulked back into the recesses of Ann's mind with a petulant face. As she entered the room and saw Bartholomew helping the artist set up the backdrop and props, she wanted to turn around and walk straight back out. She had no idea how they did it, but they had managed to somehow create Maeve's vision perfectly, right down to the crimson silk and crown. Ann winced as Maeve rattled around her head excitedly, practically clawing at her eyes in her excitement to shift. "Ah! You Highness! What do you think?" Barth
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 245 Congratulations
Ann stiffened and froze as Maeve's words sank in. "What do you mean 'confirm our pups'?" She breathed, practically holding her breath as the realization of what Maeve had said began to sink in. 'You heard me.' Maeve grumbled, 'Now hurry up and finish getting dressed, I don't want to miss this just because you're too dense to see what everyone has been telling you for the past few days and the mere possibility of baking these little buns after all the pounding you've received is somehow shocking to you.' she finished snarkily as she paced restlessly inside Ann's head, stretching the phantom aches out of her muscles that remained from sitting for too long. Ann dressed in a numb silence before mumbling her thanks and swiftly leaving the room with hasty excuses. By the look that Bartholomew had on his face, he knew something was troubling her, but he didn't press for information, and for that, Ann was grateful. She knew that she should have prepared for this possibility, but it
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 246 Three Pups?!
Ann sat on a secluded bench surrounded by climbing fragrant flowers in the garden near Bartholomew's office, struggling to pull herself out of the stunned silence she had found herself in.. Pregnant. Three pups?! Adam would be over the moon, although she wasn't sure his enthusiasm was going to top Maeve's. "See? I told you! Wow! Three pups! They're going to be the most beautiful pups you've ever seen! And strong too! We can take them for runs in the forest as soon as they shift and... I wonder when they'll shift! With both parents being Alpha's perhaps it will happen even sooner! Ann do you think…" Ann listened numbly to Maeve's chatter. She had given up trying to answer her excited yapping and quite honestly, the constant noise was giving her a headache. Although that could also be the result of the mounting stress that she was finding herself under daily. Emily had sent her away from her office with a prescription for supplements to ensure the babies grew well and she did
