Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 257 Hellhounds
Ann sat in a stunned silence as she tried to comprehend what they were telling her, her heart shattering as Maeve whined mournfully in her head. "But… why?" Ann asked as they filled her in on what they knew so far. "We don't know the answer to that yet. But if my twat of an uncle is involved, then it's nothing good." Lexi answered morosely. Ann glanced up at Felix, who despite being obviously devastated by his wife's uncertain demise, was holding it together pretty well. "If the scent of Aoife's blood wasn't overpowering everything else in the room and driving my wolf insane, then I would have been able to help with scenting the other person that your father identified." Felix grimaced. "Oh I wouldn't worry too much about that, Felix. Papa has plenty of ways to track down the sneaky little fuckwits that don't want to be found." Lexi smiled in what was supposed to be a reassuring manner but it didn't seem to have the impact she desired as Felix scowled back at her. "Are yo

Felix trailed behind the figures of Allen and Lexi still bickering quietly and he smiled ruefully to himself. That should have been him and Aoife… minus the bickering of course. He had to admit, he shared the same confusion as Ann did. Why was Aoife taken out of all of them? If they had wanted to make a significant impact on the Dubois family then surely whoever it was would have gone after him? There had been plenty of opportunities while he was dealing with the rogues at the border with Adam. Surely the Enclave was a more risky target. But, what if they hadn't been aiming for the Dubois family and had instead been aiming for disruption within the Veritas family line? He scowled as his mind ran with possibilities. If that was the case though then they wouldn't have chosen Aoife as a target because it would have minimal impact…other than preventing a possible alliance after years of tolerable neutrality. Had that been their goal? Could it have been a case of mistaken ident

Felix swallowed his own fear and inhaled deeply, forcing all traces of emotion from his face as he held his brother's gaze steadily. He could feel the lazy smirk that was spreading across his brother's face rather than see it, and Felix's wolf reacted accordingly, readying himself to defend at a moment's notice. He didn't trust his brother as far as he could throw him. "Nervous are you?" Jasper sneered into the darkness, his tone mocking. "Of what?" Felix growled, "You? We are not children any more Jasper. You don't frighten me." Jasper's disbelieving laughter rang in his ears as he reached up and gripped Felix's wrist tightly with both hands, his bony fingers digging painfully into the skin. "No? Then why is your heart beating so quickly?" He continued to mock as he increased the pressure on Felix's wrist, laughing as he twisted his arm away easily and pushing him backward. "You would react in the same way if you woke to find an intruder in your quarters whilst you were

Felix could feel Jasper scrutinizing his face for a reaction as he made his way over to the mini-bar and poured himself a shot of whiskey. He needed something to steady his nerves and settle his wolf who was howling in rage at the certainty that Jasper had killed their mate. Felix turned to face Jasper and downed the glass in one gulp, savoring the spread of the fiery liquid as its warmth spread down his throat and radiated outwards, allowing a feeling of calm to settle over him as he fixed his brother with a steely gaze. "Ann isn't dead, Jasper." He said calmly as Jasper's face creased in confusion. The reaction from him was instantaneous. "No, that's not possible." He laughed as he shook his head, "I know for a fact that she is no longer living, if you have heard differently then they are merely covering it up to buy time for a new Alpha King to succeed the throne and prevent unrest." Felix felt as though he had been punched in the gut. His wolf had been right. He had k

Lexi and Allen were welcomed into Lord Brarthoroz's room almost immediately. The dagger that he had removed from the scene of Aoife's disappearance sat on top of a rectangular slab of quartz in the center of the coffee table, right next to a large steaming teapot of something that called to Lexi's soul. Allen rolled his eyes and chuckled to himself at Lexi's delighted squeal as she skittered excitedly across the room, heading straight for the teapot where she lifted the lid and inhaled deeply. "Oh my GODDESS! This smells like christmas…" She exclaimed giddily as Allen peered over her shoulder at the creamy looking liquid inside before his eyes drifted to the unsavory object right next to it. "Don't worry Allen, the two things aren't related in any way." Lord Brarthoroz rumbled as he placed three good sized glass coffee mugs on the table in front of them and sat back heavily on the chair opposite. "I wasn't worried, I just wondered if this was something you whipped up to help

"I just can't figure out how so many men could disappear so easily like this. It doesn't make any sense that there would be no sign of any of them" Bertram continued with a deep frown. Allen could feel Lexi's tension rise as Bertram spoke, so he reached for her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. He knew damn well that her anxiety was rooted in her concern over Greyson more than anything, and as much as he wished that their relationship would only ever be about the two of them, he had long since accepted that the Moon Goddess had plans for them all, and it was a matter of trusting in her wisdom rather than his own selfish desires. "Do you think they are in some sort of trouble?" Lexi asked softly. "Who knows," Bertram snorted, "The whole area is a dead zone for communications. The last contact I had with them was here," he said as he pointed to an area on the map, "and with the second team here," he continued, moving his finger to a location slightly to the west of where Gr

Lexi and Allen made their way down to the cells, with Lexi still grumbling loudly about Bertram's incompetence. All she wanted was answers and the fact that everywhere she turned there seemed to be another hurdle to cross was starting to piss her off. Aoife didn't deserve to suffer as she had and none of them really knew whether or not she was alive or dead. Especially with her uncle's involvement. If Eromaug was behind both Aoife's and her own mother's death, she hated to think what else he was capable of putting them through. Lexi vaguely remembered him from the few occasions that they had met when she was a child and even then she had been overwhelmed with just how uneasy he made her, and her mother feel. She shuddered involuntarily and pushed those memories aside as her face hardened. At least now she knew why her mother had distrusted him and disliked the time that Lexi had spent with him, and why her father always seemed to hide his fury whenever Lexi had gushed about j

"Eromaug?" Linus repeated back to Allen in shock, "Why do you need to know about him?" Allen was silent as he studied his face. The look of shock and surprise that flashed across his eyes, followed by the worried expression that flickered across his face told Allen that Linus did indeed know something about the Daemon Lord. Whether or not it proved useful or not would remain to be seen. "I'm pleased to see that your time here hasn't impaired your hearing at least," Allen commented dryly as he leaned against the wall casually, "I want to know what you know about him." Linus swallowed nervously and his eyes darted around his cell. "That's a dangerous subject to discuss so openly…" He stammered fearfully. "I wouldn't call your cell an open place, Linus." Linus clicked his tongue as his eyes narrowed. "You have no idea what you're talking about. Even in places that you consider safe, you'll quickly re-evaluate your topics of conversation." Linus hissed, "You still haven't t

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
