"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
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 63 The Goddess Gifts
The faintest flicker of doubt crossed Tomas's face as he glanced toward where Esmerelda held Ann. It bothered him that Ann wasn't showing more resistance to this confrontation. If she didn't have a mark, then surely she would be struggling more. No... this had to be a ploy to lull them into a false sense of security. A false display of overconfidence to distract them and confuse them. That was it. That was all that was happening here. The priestess couldn't be wrong. Esmerelda had been instrumental in uncovering the Alpha's lies and she would be rewarded richly once this was all over. Tomas laughed disdainfully as he approached Adam and peered at his face through narrowed eyes before he pulled his arm back and released his fist at full force into Adam's face. Adam's head snapped to the side as he felt the burning sensation spread across his face. The humiliating jeers from the wolves behind Tomas ignited a cold fury in his stomach and for the first time in years, he felt hi

"Oh? Enlighten us then, which method can be used to fake a bond because in all of my life I have never heard of such a way." Ann answered nonchalantly. If they were to be convincing in this ploy, then she had to call her bluff. Ann knew she was lying and as much as she tried to avoid it in her everyday life, this was the Pack's well-being that was at stake as well as Adam's position. A chosen mate didn't make you a bad Alpha, and with Adam's unique situation with the curse that consumed his bond with his wolf and his mate, what other choice did he have? Esmerelda didn't answer and instead scowled at her furiously. Ann was sure that if looks could kill, then she would be dead in a second, but thankfully, that was not a possibility. So instead Ann smiled serenely, the calm attitude that she exuded infuriating Esmerelda further. Ann leaned in a little closer towards her and smiled widely as she stared confidently into her eyes, seeing the look of unease that flitted across the
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 65 Why Do you Look So Sad?
Ann rolled her eyes as she gestured to the wolves. "As much as I find it degrading to do so, I invite you all to inspect the claim that your Alpha has made upon my body. If that is what I must do to prove that this woman spouts nothing but lies, then so be it." A low murmur rose from the wolves as they took a step backward, clearly hesitant to offend either their Alpha or their Luna. "Please, don't be afraid to do so. I want to put a stop to this insanity. This Pack had been so welcoming to me when I first came, but I felt it only moments ago...the shift in your attitude toward me. If this will provide the reassurance you need then, as your Luna, I am willing to take that step." Ann said quietly. Not a single wolf moved towards her, all of them averting their eyes as one before a voice rose above them, strong and clear. "Forgive me for speaking out, my Luna, but, none of us ever doubted you. We have faith in our Alpha and you, as our Luna. Whether you were his fated mate or
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 66 You are Mine, Ann
The mere touch of his skin against hers soothed her like nothing else ever could, and she smiled softly, biting back the overwhelming despair that threatened to swallow her entirely. "It's nothing important, my Alpha," she whispered mournfully, trying and failing to keep the tremor from her voice. Adam frowned at her as his eyes searched her face desperately for any answers that might lie hidden there. "I don't like it when you hide things from me, Ann. Why won't you tell me?" "Because there's nothing to tell, Adam." She replied, swearing internally as she struggled to swallow her grief and get her emotions under control. Ann sighed as she pulled away from him and sat up, clutching the sheet to her chest as she hung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. "Where are you going?" Adam asked, the barest hint of panic in his voice. Had he done something wrong? Was she leaving him already? Ann chuckled as she turned and smiled over her shoulder at him. "I'm going
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 67 The Necessary Arrangements
They spent the day in each other's company discussing various aspects of her upcoming projects and Adam surprised her with his keen insight into some of the more nuanced aspects of her work. The sprawling mansion with extensive grounds that had been commissioned by the gorgons, for example, sparked an enlightening debate regarding what surfaces and materials could be used as nothing in the slightest bit reflective could be used in their decor or construction of the building. Allen had joined them close to teatime and brought them an update on the people held in the cells after this morning's insanity at breakfast. "Alpha, are you intending on questioning them today?" Allen asked as he laid his notebook on the table. Adam shook his head as he stared out across the garden from their position on the porch. "No. I'm worried that I might not be able to control my temper if I confront them too soon. It seems I've been a little...I don't know, 'off it' today, I suppose." He said a
