All Chapters of Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

　　Ann whimpered as he began circling her nub at a torturously slow pace, and she bit her lip as she fought the urge to push against him, desperately seeking the sweet pleasure and the sensation of him filling her inside.　　Adam lifted a hand to cup her face as he began to attack her lips, swallowing her moans as her legs quivered with the sensation that he was slowly building inside her.　　Without warning, he removed his hand from her pussy and ended his assault on her lips, splaying his hand across the surface of her folds and pressing down, as if attempting to seal it.　　Ann shuddered at the delicious pressure and simultaneously whimpered at the sudden removal of his attention.　　He smirked at her and repeated the question yet again.　　“The name, Ann… just tell me the name, and I’ll give you what you want.”?　　Ann’s cheeks flushed furiously as she fought with the desire he had aroused in her and battled with her conscience.　　She was torn. Maeve had already sent him away with his tai

　　"Right. I suppose it's kind of like a scar, but it never disappears as the mark left is an acceptance of the claim and marks each partner as off limits to others."　　'Doubt it would have stopped Brad… it didn't stop your father either...' Maeve muttered angrily.　　Ann chose to ignore Maeve’s comment but she knew that Maeve was right. The mark wasn't infallible, it just signified ownership if you really thought about it.　　"Dad already explained what would happen if you tried to mark someone that wasn't your mate, so I know that it's not possible to do that alone. But, we were thinking, if we infused the mark on each of you with Dad's binding magic and magic to prevent healing… he thinks that it might work."　　Ann chewed her lip as she thought Lexi's words over. It wasn't a bad idea in theory. They would be bound to each other and wear each other's marks and it would scar as normal.　　By all outward appearances, it was entirely possible that this might work.　　"There's just one catch

　　A strong she-wolf held her own and relied on no one but herself to solve her issues, a strong Luna would keep her mate on track for scheduled appointments and required functions. Ada was failing to do either and the wolves in attendance were vicious with their tongues.　　All of a sudden, Ann spotted Lexi among the crowd of the press being processed for entrance to the function and she grinned widely. She excused herself and with a reluctant nod from her father she left the dais and made her way over to her.　　Ada watched the back of Ann hurry over to the doorway and sneered.　　"This is all her fault! I can't believe she got over Brad so damn quickly. I hope she gets what she deserves!" She hissed as her mother narrowed her eyes dangerously at her.　　"If you hadn't been so damn impatient and just gone along with our original plan, this wouldn't be an issue. I can't believe you were stupid enough to get pregnant to such a weak wolf." Ann’s stepmother, Narcissa hissed angrily at her dau

　　Her face took on a grim look of determination as she realized that there was no fixing it tonight. The pictures of the pregnant wolf and the unwilling Alpha would be plastered across tomorrow's headlines whether she liked it or not.　　The Alpha King gestured for Ann to come forward as Ada took her seat next to Brad and Lexi whistled lowly under her breath.　　"What a fucking car crash… good luck!"　　Ann said nothing and walked slowly towards the dais feeling all attention riveted on her as her father spoke to the assembled guests.　　"Please, excuse my daughter, Princess Ada. This is a stressful time for her. We had hoped to keep the news a secret for a little while longer but as I'm sure you're aware, Ada and Brad are expecting pups." He beamed proudly as the crowd gasped and questions began to be fired in quick succession at the family on stage.　　"Wait… but I thought that Alpha Brad was mated to Princess Ann?!"　　"That's right! They were supposed to have been married this week! What

　　He knew she was going to launch herself at Ann before she did it.　　He had never moved so fast in his life.　　The desperation he felt caused his heart to race uncontrollably as his wolf snapped and howled inside his head, frantic for him to intervene before it was too late.　　He launched himself towards her and as he wrapped his arms around her, the impact of the collision knocked her off course.　　They skidded across the banquet hall floor and collided with the wall to the side heavily. Ann's body took the brunt of the impact and whatever had happened to force her to transform in that way began to recede.　　In a matter of seconds, Ann had returned to normal and as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the frowning face of Alpha Nocturne.　　"Are you okay?" He asked, his arms still held securely around her.　　"Yeah, I-I think so. My head hurts like hell though..." She grimaced.　　Adam helped her to stand and checked her over as Lexi arrived next to them.　　"Ann, that was cool and al
