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
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 68 Apology Not Accepted
"Don't tease me, Adam. Those wolves are just spoiled and sometimes maybe all it takes is a reminder of just how privileged they are to have such a stable and prosperous Pack." Adam chuckled softly. "You know, I am sorry for my out-of-character behavior today. I'm not sure what's gotten into me." Adam said as he looked at her seriously. Ann smiled back at him as she raised the glass to her lips and took a sip of the biting red liquid within. "It's fine Adam. Sometimes all it takes is a little reassurance. This morning was unsettling and you've known that things were going to come to head for days...otherwise why else would we have paid a visit to Lexi and her father?" Ann smiled wryly at him. Adam snorted. She had a good point. This was probably the first time that his normally unshakeable grip on the leadership of the Pack had been threatened. Maybe Ann was right. It was plausible that this was the reason he had been so unsettled. A comfortable silence settled over them
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 69 Work Together
Both Ann and Adam were late leaving in the morning. It was evident to all who saw them that they simply couldn't keep their hands off one another, even as they hurriedly ate their breakfast before dashing out the door. Anyone who may have had the slightest doubt about their relationship status would have had their worries put to rest at the sight of them together. Even the Omega's had noticed the slight change in them. Although they had been touchy-feely beforehand, their appetites for one another seemed to be insatiable at the moment and their loud performance in the bedroom yesterday as well as their public displays of affection over breakfast only fuelled the rumors about the possibility of the pitter-patter of tiny paws in the Packhouse. As Adam pulled up at the entrance of the towering block of offices, he glanced across at her with a frown, causing her to chuckle. "What's wrong now? If you're still wanting to have your fill of me then you'll just have to wait until to
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 70 Give Me a Chance
Narcissa's shrieks echoed down the corridor as Ann pushed herself out of her chair reluctantly and made her way over to the office door, glancing at her watch as she did so. Thirty minutes she had been here and already the day was getting off to a terrible start. 'So much for a drama-free day.' Maeve snorted sarcastically. Ann stood at the office door with a blank expression on her face as she watched the chaos in front of her with mild amusement. Narcissa was being manhandled by the guards that Adam had put in place, completely preventing her from proceeding down the corridor as Ada watched with wide eyes and an expression of frustration written all over her face as she hovered helplessly in the background. Suddenly her eyes flicked up and locked with Ann's and her face morphed into a simpering, pitiful-looking expression as she reached her arms out towards her, holding up a large basket in her direction. "Please, Ann, I just want to make amends. Look, I brought a peace
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 71 Make Amends?
Narcissa froze as Ann watched the confrontation with interest. She hadn't really thought too much about how the population felt about a non-shifter inheriting the position of Luna Queen. But this dialogue brought a slight smirk to her lips despite her attempts to suppress it. Maeve snickered gleefully inside of her head as they watched a murderous-looking cloud descend over Narcissa's face. Narcissa turned slowly to face him and glowered fiercely. "Bold words for a lowly ranked guard in an office." She sneered, "I wonder how my husband will react when he finds out about the dissent amongst the lower ranks." Instead of backing off, the guard snorted and narrowed his eyes, the swirling irises of his wolf visible even to Ann at the distance she was from them. "With any luck, the Alpha King will come to his senses and get rid of the things he should have done a long time ago." He sneered. Narcissa visibly paled as Maeve whooped excitedly in her head and Ann couldn't help but
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 72 Nothing But A Trap
Almost instantly Ada's face seemed to darken at the sound of her mother's footsteps click-clacking away from the office and disappearing down the corridor. Her pouty lips curled into a sneer of disgust as she narrowed her eyes at Ann. "You think you're so fucking perfect don't you?" Ada spat furiously, the full force of her hatred burning clearly in her eyes as she glared at Ann intently. Ann laughed suddenly, an ironic sound that seemed harsh in the quiet of her office, and completely out of place given the statement that Ada had just made. "And there she is." Ann smirked, almost triumphantly, "I knew the real you was hiding under there. What is this? Keeping up the pretense of a remorseful, vulnerable woman so that my staff takes pity on you?" "Shut up! I don't know how you got Adam wrapped around your little finger, but he was supposed to be mine!" Ada hissed furiously. Ann laughed again as she raised a mocking eyebrow at her. "Adam was supposed to be yours? In what fr
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 73 The Fake Blood
"Ada, don't do this..." Ann said lowly through gritted teeth as she held Maeve's furious attempt to take over at bay. Ada chuckled lightly as she tipped over the potted plant on the floor near the door, and crouched next to it, shaking the ceramic pot free from the plant and examining it in her hands thoughtfully. "Ada..." Ann tried again, her jaw clenching painfully, but Ada didn't respond. Ann watched as she positioned herself in front of the large glass windows and threw herself against them heavily, the blinds crumpling behind her back as she let out another fake scream that was so convincing, Ann's hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. "Please, Ann! I know you hate me for everything that happened...I just want us to..NO!" Ada yelled suddenly before staring directly at Ann and bringing the plant pot crashing heavily down onto her head. Ann watched the blood drip down the side of Ada's face with an incredulous expression. What the fuck was happening? As Ada im
