  The specialist raised an eyebrow at Lord Brarthroroz and barely suppressed the scoff of disbelief.

  "You're telling me that your hellhounds can sniff out the sites faster than our direwolves?"

  "We could always make a wager on it, if you like?" Lord Brarthroroz answered casually as a sly smirk played at the edges of his mouth.

  "I'm not betting my soul…" The shifter replied before he was interrupted by Lord Brarthroroz's laughter, "I don't know what's funny about that." He continued, scowling at both Lexi and her father.

  "Listen buster, I think you and your little friends have us confused with the demons of the human religions," Lexi snorted, "We're daemons, not demons. There's a huge difference."

  "I don't see how. You both deal in souls and dark magick, and live in the depths of hell."

  "I'll have you know my home is quite comfortable and welcoming actually. If you can get past the succubi that is… although I'm sure some of your unmated would love spending time with them...

      Allen took the awe filled chatter between the specialists as a positive sign. They were horrified and terrified at her sheer power as the flames had incinerated the corpse in seconds, and the image of her blazing eyes set within her perfectly calm face and flame wreathed body had seemed almost deity-like.  He wouldn't be surprised at all if, at least for these three men and those that listened to them, she became an almost mystical figure.  However, Lexi was unnaturally quiet as they continued on towards the next site and both he and her father had noticed the subtle shift in her aura and the almost depressive cloud of misery that seemed to hang over her.  Allen reached for Lexi's hand wordlessly as they walked, intertwining their fingers together and squeezing her hand lightly as they walked. She turned to him and smiled half heartedly, but Allen could see the doubt and worry in her eyes.  Lord Brarthroroz stopped suddenly and stretched.  "We'll need to take a little stop for a

    Ann sat in the council chamber with both Adam and Coral at her side, the Elders clearly torn between being uncomfortable with an omega's presence at such a high ranking meeting, as well as curious as to the purpose.  Coral shifted uncomfortably beside Ann as some of the degrading whispers reached their ears, as well as the curious ones. It always seemed to be the negative ones that had the most impact on a persons confidence though.  She had returned from her time with Eva far less timid and a lot more confident and honestly, it warmed Ann's heart to see that such a small decision on her part, had driven such a large impact on Coral's life so far.  Coral had been paid for her time in training with Eva a decent wage, and by her own admission, it was more than she had ever seen in all of her years working for the Enclave. That in itself bothered Ann greatly and she intended to rectify it today.  "Right, let's get started shall we?" Ann announced brightly as the murmurs that had rippl

      "I would also like to propose that a better schedule be organized for their working hours. Twelve hour shifts within their duties are archaic. I would like to propose a schedule of eight hour shifts, and suggest that the same benefits that apply to pregnant she wolfs, or those with young children be applied to the omega's on staff. They will be allowed a reprieve from their duties until either the children come of age, or if they choose to return to work, I feel that the Enclave should provide additional child care facilities so that the children are not forced into the life of an omega, before they receive proper education."  "Preposterous! Traditionally an omega learns their duties from a young age! They…"  "No." Ann's voice cut sharply across the arguments that were bubbling amongst the Elders. "From this moment forward, no child may enter into servitude, or into the staff of households until they have completed their education. Special allowances may be made perhaps for apprent

      After the meeting Ann, Adam, Bartholomew and Coral made their way back towards Bartholomew's office, paying no mind to the whispers of the people that they passed.  Ann had expected a little resistance and had warned Coral to expect a little push back from some of those who saw themselves as above her, but to ignore it as much as possible and so far, she was doing well.  The time that she had spent with Eva had certainly seen her grow from the nervous, anxious, frightened omega that she was previously into the timid, yet efficient woman that stood before her today. Ann had every confidence that in a few months, her confidence would increase dramatically and she would be able to handle most situations with ease.  "Bartholomew will see to it that you have appropriate quarters assigned within the Enclave while we remain here, preferably in our wing. I have already approved which suite I think would be suitable for you, but obviously there are the finer details to sort out… furnishing

      The darkness as they neared the next site was even denser than the previous ones. With five down already and moving on to the sixth, Lexi had already passed the feeling of drained. Despite their breaks between attack's on the sites, the food and drink they had brought only went a short way towards replenishing her energy.  They came to a stop in front of the stones that had been haphazardly piled around this site, and by the looks of it, the construction of this one was far more recent than the last. There was a visible lack of lichen and moss coating the stones and Lord Brarthroroz frowned as he approached the middle of the circle.  He bent suddenly and placed his hand on the ground, the faintest flicker of surprise crossed his face before he stood suddenly and looked straight at Lexi with a complicated expression.  "This one still has faint signs of life." Lord Brarthroroz said softly gesturing to the specialists, "Help me move these. We'll need to be careful if we don't want to

      The muffled sound of angry voices seemed to drift around Lexi as she fought to open her eyes.  She blinked in confusion as the canopy of leaves above her came into focus and she frowned, her headache intensifying as she did so.  The irritated moan that came from her lips at least seemed to make the hum of noise around her stop as the concerned faces of her father and Allen came into focus.  "You're awake? How do you feel?" Allen asked anxiously as she slowly sat herself up and looked around her, trying to piece together what had happened.  All of a sudden, the memory of the little girl in her mothers arms and the flood of devastating power that she had unleashed filled her mind and panicked, she grabbed hold of Allen's arm.  "Please tell me you got her. Please tell me I didn't kill her." Allen's mouth set into a grim line as Lexi's face crumpled.  "Don't worry, I managed to get her to safety," a voice that she hadn't been sure she would ever hear again said as she whipped her h

      Ann was woken up by a gentle tapping on the door and as she opened her eyes, the same wave of exhaustion that had swept over her earlier, still seemed to sit above her tauntingly.  "Your highness? Are you awake?" Coral's voice drifted through the doors.  "No. I feel like we got hit by a fucking truck." Maeve grumbled as she yawned and closed her eyes again.  "Yes, come in Coral." Ann said, ignoring Maeve's grouchy attitude, and sitting up and smiling gently at Coral's nervous looking expression as she entered the room with a tray of food.  "Sorry," she shrugged apologetically, "As much as you clearly hate being mothered, I watched my sister go through a pregnancy with multiples. If it wasn't for the food that we sneaked her during the pregnancy, she would have spent her entire pregnancy in the hospital."  Ann chuckled softly as she gestured for Coral to sit and watched helplessly as she pulled the overbed table out and placed the tray on it, before pulling a chair to sit alongsi

      Greyson led the way through the shell of a building that he and his men had secured and had been using as a base to direct reconnaissance and shelter the people they had rescued.  Lexi followed behind him with Allen and Lord Brarthroroz at her side as they made their way past the curious looks of a mixture of men and civilians who had clearly been involved in some sort of fighting recently.  "We had to utilize some of the civilians that had combat experience." Greyson explained as they descended a rusty spiral staircase into the basement area, "The men that we lost left gaps in the defense that we had to replace."  Lord Brarthroroz hummed as Lexi and Allen shared a look between them, both of them having noticed just how beaten down the remaining members of Greyson's original squadron were.  Greyson ushered them past civilians huddled together in various rooms, their faces etched in misery as the sound of children crying hung hauntingly in the air.  "There was no way to get all o

      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

      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,

      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

      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

      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

      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
