Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate By A E Randell Chapter 37
CHAPTER 37 The Unwilling Alpha
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 stered across tomorrow’s headlines
whether she liked it or not.
The Alpha King gestured for A*n toe forward as Ada took her seat next to Brad and Lexi whistled
lowly under her breath.
“What a f*cking car crash… good luck!”
A*n 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 session at the
family on stage.
“Wait… but I thought that Alpha Brad was mated to Princess A*n?!”
“That’s right! They were supposed to have been married this week! What is this lunacy?!”
“Did they have an affair?!”
“Poor A*n, and forced to attend this debacle as well. What sort of family does that to their own
daughter?”
A*n smirked as she took her ce next to her father, and maintained a neutral expression. It felt oddly
satisfying to have people recognize the situation for what it was.
A quick nce to the side revealed Ada and Narcissa glowering furiously at her and Brad’s eyes still
riveted on her, full of sorrow.
Her father, however, faced the direction of the crowd resolutely.

“That’s enough gossip.” He growled furiously. “For some reason, A*n and Brad’s wolves recognized
themselves as mates, but they were mistaken. Ada is Brad’s mate, so as you can see, all is as it should
be. When the truth was revealed, things were corrected instantly.”
A split of opinion buzzed around the room and A*n seethed internally. How could her father lie so easily
about this??
“Then why is she pregnant already? The marriage was only called off at thest minute, I don’t believe
it.”
“I wonder if they knew but carried on regardless? I heard the sister’s rtionship isn’t good. ”
A*n snorted to herself as thestment reached her ears.
How ironic that what her sister did to A*n, A*n was now under suspicion of doing to her
sister
She could feel Ada’s smirk as she reached for Brad’s hand and squeezed it reassuringly
“Really, what my father said is right Mistakes happen Perhaps because we were always so close, the
mixture of our scent on one another confused him ” Ada simpered sweetly,
although the warmth of her words didn’t match her eyes.
“I don’t hold any grudges. I just hope that my sister is happy wherever she ends up.”
A*n didn’t flinch and stood resolutely at her father’s side.
“Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let’s proceed with the rest of the event, shall
we?” The Alpha King announced, clearing his throat awkwardly.
A*n moved to the side of the dais as the greeting of guests by the ‘happy’ couplemenced. Brad
was distant and unfocused throughout, offering only grunts of acknowledgment or murmured words
that were barely distinguishable.
The longer it went on, the more irate Ada became and A*n could feel the palpable aura of fury that
emanated from Ada in waves.
Lexi appeared to be having the time of her life though and when it came to the interviews with the
couple, she made sure to ask lots of awkward questions that were phrased in such a way that Ada
couldn’t help but incriminate herself no matter how she answered.
As people began to move through to the banqueting hall as the food was served, Brad finally forced
himself to move and tried to approach A*n.
She tantly ignored him as Ada pulled on him furiously and as he s*atched his arm away she didn’t
miss the words that he hissed at her, nor did a few of the socialites that remained close by.
“You are not my mate and never will be. You’ll never rece A*n. All of this is because of you! “He
hissed angrily.
Ada looked momentarily taken aback and her cheeks flushed furiously.
“How can you say that?! I’m carrying your pups… our child…”
Brad sneered as he swept his eyes over her.
“Are they mine though? I don’t know what you did to me in order to get me into bed with you, I don’t
remember any of it, but when I find out…” He threatened darkly, leaving the sentence hanging in the
air.
Brad s*aggered off into the back room, using the wall for support as he walked and Ada red furiously
at A*n, narrowing her eyes.
She stomped over to A*n with her hands held protectively over her belly and red defiantly up at her.
“Are you happy now?” She hissed
“For what? You’re the one who wanted me here… I would have rather stayed away.”
“I wanted you to see it with your own eyes, and I haven’t finished yet A*n. I meant what I said when I
promised to take everything from you.” She spat before stomping away again.
A*n watched her warily. She was fully prepared for the fact that her invite here today would most likely
be in order to embarrass her publicly Now, with that n seemingly going so badly, she would most
likely have something more up her sleeve.
She wished Marve was more responsive. Perhaps she had shut herself away to avoid dealing with the
drama but that wasn’t at all like the Marve that she knew. If anything, she had
expected her toe out kicking and screaming.
The silence was unsettling.
