Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 67 The Necessary Arrangements
They spent the day in each other’spany discussing various aspects of her
uing 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 beenmissioned 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 heid 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 as he
nced across at Ann.
Ann smiled warmly as she nodded back at him.
“It’s okay to have off days, Adam. Isn’t that what your Beta and Luna are for? To help
ground you and support you when things get a little crazy?”
Allen chuckled.
“You know, I would never have believed that the old fart would be so bold as to
confront you in front of everyone, Adam, especially speaking ill of the Luna so openly
and under the direction of a witch?” He snorted as he shook his head disbelievingly.
“The whole situation is preposterous.”
The silence between the three of them extended for a little while, punctuated only by
the intermittent song of the nightingales that flitted about as the sun set behind the
forest.
“How did you know she was a witch, Luna?” Allen asked curiously, focusing his gaze
on her intently.
Ann sighed.
“I didn’t, really. It was more of an educated guess. Maeve said that she could smell
the darkness in her, and that we had seen her before. The fact that I couldn’t ce
why she was familiar to me was a huge contributing factor though.”
“You felt that too?” Adam asked with furrowed brows as his head snapped towards her
attentively.
Ann nodded.
“Yes. I felt as if I knew her, but I didn’t know how. She was familiar, yet not.”
Ann shook her head wearily.
“It was an odd feeling to be sure. If anything, I’m really good at remembering faces
and names. I mean, I had to be! Think of all the thousands of delegates and important
people that I’ve met in the line of my royal duties over the years. It wouldn’t go down
well if I simply forgot someone would it?”
“I suppose not.” Allen chuckled. “So, what do you intend to do with them, Alpha?”
“I don’t know, honestly Allen. I thought we had seeded in changing the way people
think, but they were so quick to turn on the Omegas at the slightest inkling that I would
be removed from power. Honestly, if they aren’t willing to ept Omega’s as equals
for what they contribute, then I’m not sure that I can allow them to remain in the Pack.”
Allen frowned as he thought it over.
“You know it will be a huge loss to our numbers though, Alpha. Some of those
incarcerated were some of our best fighters and trackers…”
“I don’t care!” Adam snapped in irritation. “If they won’t conform to our moral standards
here, then they don’t deserve the sanctuary that our Pack provides. The strong should
protect the weak, it has always been so! But that doesn’t mean the weak should be
punished for something they cannot help.”
“He’s right, you know, Allen. It’s no different than if you punished a child for being a
child and being incapable of fending off attacks. It’s wrong. They provide a valuable
service to our fighters so that they can focus on being on the top of their game.” Ann
sighed, rubbing her neck tiredly and stretching her limbs out in front of her as she
stifled a yawn.
“Well, we don’t have many alternatives, do we?” Allenmented dryly.
Ann stared off into the distance briefly as a slow smile spread across her face.
“Perhaps there is an alternative… listen. In the royal household, the living quarters for
everyone are separate. The Omega’s stationed there are purely for the use of the
royal family and see to their needs alone. The guards are housed separately, in
barracks off-site, and are expected to cater to their own needs, cooking, washing,
cleaning etc,” Ann paused for breath as she looked between Allen and Adam’s faces
to try and gauge their expressions.
“Perhaps… perhaps we could do the same here for a while, and let those who are
wavering on the benefits of having the services of Omega’s freely avable to them
decide for themselves. A few months of mind-numbingbor on top of their training
and exercise regimen should be enough to convince the majority of them.” Adam’s
eyes glinted with a light of anticipation.
“I think we still have the training grounds avable don’t we Allen?”
“Well, yes Alpha, but it’s not in a great state…” Allen answered hesitantly, the
confusion clear on his face. “Of course, it isn’t…there are no Omega’s a*s*signed to
that section now, are there?” Adam grinned wickedly as understanding dawned on
Allen’s face.
“I’m a*s*suming that you would like the training program increased too, Alpha?” Allen
asked nonchntly as he began busily scribbling in his notebook.
“I think that would be perfect Allen. Don’t you?”
As Allen hurried off to make the necessary arrangements, Adam leaned forward and
refilled Ann’s sswith the bottle of wine that stood in the middle of the table.
“You really are just full of bright ideas aren’t you, my Luna?” He smirked yfully at
