The Elders had been true to their word and Ada had been partially released from the hold that they had placed on her and her panic stricken eyes showed just how aware she truly was. Maeve howled with satisfaction as they watched Narcissa and Ada confronted with evidence of their own schemes. Although Narcissa was not directly implicated in this particular recording, Ann didn't care. It was enough for her to clear her name and retain her title, as much as she no longer wished to be associated with this poor excuse of a family. Adam was her priority for now, and the Dark Moon Pack was her home for as long as she remained with Adam. As the recording ended and the holographic display disappeared, Leopold was stood frozen with an expression of shock as he mouthed soundlessly words that he clearly wanted to say, but couldn't force out. Narcissa didn't bother to raise her head to glare at the elders, instead, in the final few minutes of the recording, she had come to the realizati
Both Adam and Ann were forced to cover their eyes as soon as they stepped out into the glaring sunlight that greeted them when they exited the long winding tunnels of dull light that the Elders called their home. Once their eyes had adjusted to the sudden intrusion of light, Adam turned to grin widely at her as he pulled her into his chest."I'd say that went quite well, wouldn't you?" He smirked as he planted a kiss on her forehead.Ann chuckled and grinned up at him, masking the emptiness that she felt inside at the whole ordeal."It could have been a lot worse, yes.""I say we go and celebrate. I'm thinking fancy restaurant, champagne, the whole works." Adam murmured as he nuzzled his face against the spot that he had placed his mark on. Ann grunted in response, willing herself to ignore the shiver that made her weak at the knees as he pressed against the fake mark."I need to message Eva first, and then, we'll see," she replied finally, wrapping her arms around his broad w
As soon as the Royal Court of Elders had released them into the hands of their specially trained guards, they were escorted back to the palace in an unmarked car with blacked-out windows and no trace of the usual pomp and ceremony that followed them everywhere. They sat in silence as they headed towards the palace, the guards watching them like hawks with impassive expressions on their faces. The trial had been a disaster for all of them, especially Leopold. This latest installment in the saga of events that revolved around Ada's obsession with trying to destroy Ann had exposed the long-standing defects and flaws that Narcissa had spent so long cultivating in Leopold's character. The time and energy it had taken to chip away at his sense of righteousness, the seduction and whispered persuasion that it had taken to twist his mind with her poisonous words, and the sacrifices of flesh that she had been forced to make over the years to bind his heart to hers, ensnaring his wolf i
As soon as Leopold had disappeared up the stairs with the guards following closely behind him, Narcissa turned slowly to face Ada. Ada looked around her in a panic as a vicious snarl erupted from Narcissa's mouth as she stalked menacingly toward her. Ada backed away hastily, wanting to shout for help but unable to open her mouth to do so as a cold wave of terror washed over her. "There's no escape from me Ada so don't even try!" Narcissa hissed as Ada's back connected abruptly with the cold hard surface of a wall and she whimpered involuntarily. Narcissa snorted at the pitiful sound as she pulled to a stop abruptly right in front of her, and dragged her eyes over her face in disgust. Ada screwed her eyes shut under her mother's intense gaze, trembling violently as she held her breath waiting for the impact that she felt sure was coming from the palm of her hand against her face. "You're such a disappointment, Ada, I had such high hopes for you, you know?" Narcissa murm
She bit the inside of her cheek painfully to stop herself from crying out and her heart beat rapidly in her chest as her mother yanked her head back to stare at her terrified features with a twisted excitement. "Your idea intrigues me," Narcissa purred as she removed the blade from Ada's neck and stroked her daughter's hair with the blood-coated blade of the knife. Ada trembled fiercely under her mother's psychotic embrace, not daring to make a sound in case it provoked her wrath once more. Narcissa chuckled softly as she planted a kiss on Ada's forehead roughly and licked the blade free of any remaining blood, smiling wickedly down at her daughter's terrified face. "Tell me everything, my little lamb, and we shall see whether or not I sacrifice your blood and the life of your unborn child tonight, or whether your plan offers you yet another chance to redeem yourself." Ann sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the phone in her hand for a long time, willing herself to stop
Adam nudged her legs apart as he positioned himself directly at her entrance, slipping his fingers inside of her already soaking pussy. He snorted to himself as pushed all four fingers inside and she moaned loudly. "You little tease, you wanted this, didn't you, princess?" he growled into her ear as he curled his fingers inside of her, massaging her g-spot with torturous efficiency. Ann couldn't formulate a reply in coherent sentences and simply smirked up at him as he tutted loudly in her ear, realizing that he had been played. "Oh princess... that wasn't very nice now, was it?" He murmured as he picked the pace of his finger-fucking up, and delighted in the way that she squirmed against his hands. "Adam… fuck...please... slow down..." She finally forced out breathlessly, it was so good that it was simply too much to bear and she was gripping her phone so hard, that her fingers were turning white. Adam chuckled as he withdrew his fingers and positioned the bulging head o
Adam was as confused about things as Ann was. As much as he tried to communicate with his wolf during and after the incident, his wolf struggled to answer him… or maybe he didn't want to answer him. Whatever it was, Adam knew that he had gone too far. It had never reached a point between them where Ann actually wanted to escape from him, usually, it was a lust-filled back and forth between them both that consisted of her wanting to be dominated and Adam showing her just how well he could please her. He had meant for it to be a little rough, perhaps a little brutal too because she loved it when it was rough, but he was genuinely worried that the sudden emergence of his wolf and the brutality in which he took her was too much, even for Ann. He was terrified that she would leave him… That she would never look at him again with those beautiful eyes filled with lust… the gaze that would make him destroy everything in his path just to bury himself balls deep in between her legs.
'I would call this running away like a frightened rabbit, instead of talking about it.' Maeve hissed furiously. 'You should be owning up to the part you played in that and trying to understand why he reacted that way! Boundaries do not set themselves, Ann!' 'Enough Maeve, I don't need to discuss this with you.' Ann spat back dismissively. 'No? Well, tough luck because you are going to hear what I have to say whether you like it or not. This is NOT one-sided, we are two parts here Ann, as Adam and his wolf are.' Maeve roared furiously. 'But...' Ann tried to object before being unceremoniously cut off again 'No buts and no excuses! You have no idea Ann, you don't understand AT ALL! Adam's wolf hasn't seen the light of day EVER Ann. He has been confined and locked away, smothered and suffocated by darkness until YOU woke him. YOU taunted him, YOU stirred his interest and he answered!' Maeve screamed viciously. 'Yet now, even though he gave you what you asked for... begged for al
