Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate Chapter 186 The Attacks
The atmosphere in the dining hall was almost unbearably tense, but it gave Ann the perfect vantage point to see which Elders were openly displeased by her actions with Linus. Thankfully the tension didn't seem to impact Alpha Felix or his wife in the slightest. They sat to Ann's right, making polite conversation with both herself and Adam as they ate. "I don't know about you, your highness, but I always find these official functions a little stuffy." Felix chuckled as he tore into a chicken leg appreciatively. Ann smiled graciously, still a little on edge. She didn't know what to expect from Felix as she hadn't had any cause to meet with him previously and knew his father by reputation only. "They can be tiring, yes, especially after such a long journey. Did you encounter any issues on the way here?" She asked politely. "No. Well, not after we were about 5 miles in past the border anyway. There are a lot of smaller villages that are pretty much ghost towns out there now. T

As soon as the door was shut behind them, Ann erupted as she paced furiously. "How could they be so irresponsible! These are the lives of our people! The blatant disregard for the safety and wellbeing…" Ann froze mid-sentence and swore internally as her eyes landed on the terrified face of Coral peeking out from the study that her bed had been set up in. She took a few calming breaths as Adam rubbed her arms gently, and she allowed the soothing effect that his presence had on her to wash over her and calm her raging spirit. "I'm sorry Coral. Things have been a little difficult today. You didn't need to see that." Ann said wearily as she sank onto the edge of her bed. Coral blinked at her and visibly gulped as she took a tentative step into the bedroom area, clasping her arms around herself protectively. "It's okay, your highness. There's no need to apologize to me. I can stay in another room if you need to vent. I shouldn't really be in here anyway." "Nonsense." Ann repli
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 188 Not an Omega Anymore
The morning seemed to roll around quicker than she had anticipated, and Ann didn't feel like she had slept at all. She must have fallen asleep at some point in the early hours though, listening to the rhythmic soft snoring of Adam as his chest rose and fell predictably under her hand. When she opened her eyes Adam was nowhere to be seen and Coral was in the process of laying out breakfast on the table by the window. Ann stretched reluctantly and sat up in bed, blinking the sleep from her eyes and before he could open her mouth to ask anything, Coral spoke. "Good morning your highness." She said softly with a little bow, "The Queens Consort said to tell you that he's gone to call Allen, and not to forget that Eva will be here shortly. He thought it prudent to have breakfast in your chambers so as to save a little time." Ann opened her mouth to object and then closed it again, as a smile played at the edges of her mouth. "It makes sense. Thank you, Coral. Give me a few momen
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 189 Elder Cornelius
Adam had returned to the room shortly after Eva and Coral left and found himself confronted with his beautiful wife focusing intently on the phone in front of her. He pushed his hands further into his pocket and readjusted himself as he leaned against the doorframe. She was stunning in every way, even focused so intently on whatever she was doing, he just wanted to pepper her neck with kisses and hear her moan underneath him again. It had taken an incredible amount of self-control not to ravage her last night. His instincts told him that they both needed the release that being together would bring, but he was also acutely aware that when it came to their intimacy, they were both anything but quiet. There would be nothing holding them back tonight though. He allowed himself to indulge a little longer, drinking in the sight of her and storing it away in his mind to recall at his convenience before he cleared his throat and she looked up at him with a sultry smile on her
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 190 The Rogue Problem
Gasps of horror could be heard from around the room as they conferred amongst themselves whilst Cornelius stood, isolated and speechless in the face of such a verbal assault. It was glaringly obvious that not a single person here had challenged her father and had allowed themselves to become complacent in their duties. "I am waiting for you to make me understand, Cornelius," Ann growled, her eyes flashing a dangerous gold as the realization set in amongst the Elders that Ann was looking for someone to blame for this colossal tragedy. When Cornelius didn't reply, instead looking around himself for support from his colleagues, and finding none, he bowed his head in shame. Ann stood slowly, approaching Cornelius with fury radiating from her and he knew instantly that his former attitude towards her was entirely misplaced. The raw strength and power that rolled off her so effortlessly meant that she was a formidable foe, and with her consort at her side, this was not a wise ene
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 191 I'd Rather Avoid Allen
The first meeting of the day had run over schedule by about an hour, and as the Elders filed out of the room in silence, Adam reached for Ann's hand and gave it a squeeze, before he brought it to his lips, placing a soft kiss on her skin. "You were magnificent, my Queen." He murmured as Ann giggled like a teenager at the intimate moment between them. "I just hope they finally got the message," she sighed, her disappointment still evident as they stood and began to make their way toward the next scheduled meeting. She was satisfied with the agreed-upon actions that the Elders had committed to and had ordered the measures discussed to be implemented immediately. At least now, she had a solid plan that she could relay to Alpha Felix so that their Kingdom didn't come across as incompetent. Ann's phone rang seconds before Adam's did, and seeing Lexi on her caller display and Allen on Adam's, they quickly took a detour to find a smaller side room where they could talk in private.
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 192 A Little Family of Their Own
Adam's lips crashed against hers, devouring her hungrily as his hands found their way under her shirt, eagerly grasping at the places on her body that made her moan with delight. The sensations threatened to overwhelm her as she fumbled with the zip on his trousers, desperately seeking the bulge that was growing within as the seconds ticked by. "Ann, we should lock the door." He murmured between kisses. "I don't give a fuck if we're caught, Adam… I need this… I need you in me." She murmured as she finally freed the monster in his pants and wrapped her fingers around it. Adam hissed lightly in appreciation and his head tilted back reflexively as she began to work her fingers up and down the shaft of his penis, drinking in the sight of his muscular neck bared so elegantly before her. She bent over and placed her lips along the beautiful lines of his neck and jaw, peppering kisses, biting, licking, and sucking as she went, all the while working her hand firmly and gently along
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 193 Dread and Excitement
Lexi paced anxiously in her father's lounge as she waited for him to finish gathering his things. Steven stood at the side of the doorway to his room like a statue, his stoic face impassive, and the only visible movement was his eyes as they followed Lexi's pacing. "You'll wear a hole in the carpet if you continue walking the same patterns." He observed dryly. Lexi paused and looked at him in shock, removing her hands from her mouth where she had been gnawing on the edges of her fingernails as a wry smile found its way onto her lips. "Well, fuck me, Steven, you do speak." "I'd rather not." He answered flatly, his eyes remaining fixed on her father's doorway. "What? Fuck me? Or speak?" Lexi teased. Steven chose not to answer, only sighing slightly and crossing his arms in front of him. Lexi chuckled and waved her hand dismissively at him. "I'd probably break you anyway." Lexi smirked, "Things do tend to get brittle with age, don't they? And considering you're a wrait

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
