Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 55 The Dark Witch
"Have you thought that perhaps the people who murdered your parents wanted to conceal your mate from you so you would be forced to take a chosen mate?" Lexi said suddenly through a mouthful of food as she plonked herself down on a chair next to them. Adam frowned. "But why? Taking a chosen mate isn't a rare occurrence. Sometimes an Alpha doesn't find his true mate and not having an heir weakens the Pack, so it's seen as a necessary evil in most cases." Lexi nodded slowly, as she sat forward and rested her chin on her hands with a thoughtful expression. "True, but have you considered that a concealment curse would be the best fit because they also wanted to conceal the identity of your parent's killers?" Lord Brarthroroz chuckled. "Very clever, Lexi... yes… it's entirely possible. Perhaps the killers intended to have someone of their choosing take a place at your side as a chosen mate. It would make sense. You were present when your parents were killed?" Lord Brarthroroz a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 56 The Unfamiliar Territory
"Not actively... he's tried... but..." Ann tried to explain as she glanced across at Lexi in annoyance and noticed a strange expression on her face as she looked thoughtfully at Adam. Lord Brarthroroz didn't let the conversation go further though as he cleared his throat loudly and spoke. "So a large amount of concealment is going on then, around both Alpha Nocturne and yourself it seems. I must say, this is all very curious. I don't know of any active plots among the renegades that are going on in your realm, and the lords are not willing to move against your realm again." "Do you think we can help them with this too, Papa?" Lexi asked suddenly. "It will require some reconnaissance on my end. I want to know exactly who I'm dealing with. It may be Witches but this has the taint of daemons behind it. There is clearly something more going on here." Lord Brarthroroz frowned. "Can't we just kill the bitches and get on with it?!" Lexi exclaimed suddenly, hitting the side of the
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 57 The Sudden Desire
"Why do you continue to torment me, princess? Do you enjoy the reaction? Or is it that you want me irate so that I fuck you a little harder? Are you not satisfied with my performance already?" Adam murmured huskily. Ann gazed coyly up at him through her eyelashes and a flirtatious smile curved her mouth up at the edges, earning a low rumble from Adam's chest. She said nothing, but reached up and slipped her hands under Adam's shirt, running her fingers lightly along his well-defined abs, and curling her fingers around the back of his neck as she pulled his lips closer to her. She wanted to taste him. She couldn't understand this longing that had appeared, the desperate need to have him inside of her at every waking moment. If Adam thought that she was a distraction. He had no idea what he was doing to her inside. The mere thought of him fucking her, pounding into her relentlessly before emptying himself deep inside of her drove her crazy. As Adam's lips landed on her own, s
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 58 Fate Was Indeed Cruel
Adam growled loudly as he pounded into her harder and allowed her legs to fall to his waist and as she came undone around him and he released inside of her, he leaned forward, his fangs elongating as he sank his teeth into the soft flesh of her neck. Ann gripped hold of him greedily as she too did the same and almost instantly, their vision seemed to explode in bright lights. They lapped tenderly at each of the new marks and lay panting above each other for a while. Ann couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sadness that this wasn't a reality... that Adam wasn't her true mate. Maybe... just maybe... in another life… they would find each other and be happy. But it wouldn't be this one… this life was too cruel beyond words… Unbeknownst to Ann, Adam felt exactly the same. Ann was perfect in his eyes and was everything that he had imagined that his true mate and Luna would be. But fate was indeed cruel. He stroked her cheek softly as he gazed at her flushed face. She was beau
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 59 A Promise Is A Promise
"How long is a piece of string, furball? We don't know. This isn't a common request at all, so we're pretty much working on unknown grounds. Just... keep an eye on it." She paused before frowning slightly. "You said the existence of your true mate is concealed from you, right?" Adam nodded slowly. "So, if she was standing right in front of you, how would you ever know?" She asked hesitantly, a hint of concern in her voice. Adam frowned. It was an odd question, but he was sure that Lexi was only concerned for her friend's well being. After all, she had been through so much already, and judging by their close relationship, she would hate to see her hurt again. "I wouldn't know even if she was laid next to me," Adam said softly, with a hint of regret in his voice. "Don't worry, Lexi. Hurting Ann is the last thing that I'll ever do. Even if my true mate appears, then I'll make sure that Ann doesn't suffer. I promise that she'll be well taken care of." Lexi stared at him for a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 60 Two Lovebirds
"Stop looking at my Luna." Adam snarled angrily as Allen stared at him with disbelief. He twisted suddenly and broke free of Adam's grip before he darted a short distance away from him and stood looking between the two of them. "Since when did you get so possessive?" He asked, eyeing him warily. Adam responded with a snarl as Allen's eyes drifted to the obvious mark on his neck and he pointed excitedly, with his eyes wide open in stunned disbelief. "When... What… Wait! You're marked! What?! Are you..?! No…" He stuttered as a myriad of emotions and questions fluttered across his face. Ann chuckled and made her way over to Adam with the sheet still wrapped tightly around her. Adam growled warningly and pulled her into his side and wrapped his arm around her as he scowled at Allen dangerously. Ann rubbed her fingers backward and forwards gently over the back of his hand, hoping that he would be calmed down a little by the sensation. She half wished that by some miracle, tho
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 61 The Lie
Ann's stomach seemed to tie itself in knots as they descended the stairs together and made their way into the dining room. She had felt Adam's tension increase as he readied himself for a confrontation with the elders... but it never materialized. The hallway and dining room were empty apart from the usual Omega's scurrying about. The tension seemed to dissipate almost immediately from Adam's shoulders and he pulled a chair out at the dining table for Ann to sit at with a tight smile. They hadn't chosen to dress any differently, assuming that it may arouse suspicion if their usual styles had changed. Ann sat in a pale blue merino wool sweater with a high neck and her hair down, and Adam had stuck with his usual business suit with a high neck collar on his shirt. They chatted lightly about their plans for the day. After all, nothing had changed in their work lives and they still had important meetings to attend to. As they talked quietly between themselves, the dining hall beg
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 62 She is Nothing but a Glorified Whore!
'Maeve...that woman...' Ann began hesitantly as she stared intently at the woman's face. 'Before you say anything else…don't. I know exactly what you're thinking. I feel the same way about her.' She growled furiously in reply. 'Why does she make my skin crawl though? It's as if...' 'She makes us feel this way because she's full of darkness, Ann. Before you ask... yes. We do know her. We have met her before.' Ann struggled with the fury that she felt rolling from Maeve and without warning Adam's arm reached backward and his fingers closed around her shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly. The small gesture surprised her and her heart seemed to flip. It was almost as if he could sense how she was feeling... but that was impossible... right? 'Nothing is impossible with the Daemon Lord's power, Ann. You wanted it to be convincing...perhaps he has made it so that everything is shared between you...including mimicking the intricacies of the bond.' Maeve mused, the anger still clea

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
