Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 72 Nothing But A Trap
Almost instantly Ada’s face seemed to darken at the sound of her mother’s footsteps
click-cking 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 f*uc*king perfect don’t you?” Ada spat furiously, the full f0rce of
her hatred burning clearly in her eyes as she red at Ann intently.

Annughed suddenly, an ironic sound that seemed harsh in the quiet of her office,
andpletely out of ce 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.
Annughed again as she raised a mocking eyebrow at her.
“Adam was supposed to be yours? In what fragmented reality was this supposed to
happen? So you mean to tell me that despite having your heart set on someone else,
you still went after my fated mate and took it upon yourself to seduce him for
yourself?”
Ann tutted slowly as she swept her gaze over her.
“Now that wasn’t very smart, was it? Don’t you think you’re being a little greedy? You
know how Alpha’s are, Ada. They don’t share, and very rarely do they ept the
spawn of their partner if it isn’t theirs by blood. Especially in your circ*umstances…
there’s no way that Adam would ever ept your ident resulting from your
duplicitous scheming as an eptable excuse for having a child.”
“You watch your mouth you arrogant little WH*ORE!” Ada hissed as she stamped her
foot angrily.
“WH*ORE?” Ann said disbelievingly, “That’s a bit riching from you, don’t you
think?”
“What would you f*uc*king know? The perfect little princess with a perfect life, you
never had to struggle for anything!”
“Ah, so we’re back to the jealousy again,” Ann eximed in mock surprise, rolling her
eyes as she did so. “Ada, seriously, don’t you think it’s time you grew up and got over
whatever chip it is that you have on your shoulder? You’re going to be a mother. Are
you really going to bring a child up with such bitterness in your heart?” Ann sighed
internally.
So much for her stepmother and step-sister being on the same page when it came to
putting on a united front for her father’s sake.
She knew that she was being harsh with Ada anding off as unfriendly but she
wasn’t going to let Ada think that she could walk all over her anymore.
Ann eyed her warily though, still acutely aware of the potential for Ada to twist this
situation into something that could ruin Ann’s reputation, and Maeve’s warning still
rang loudly in her head.
‘I f*uc*king told you not to trust her.’ Maeve hissed angrily.
‘Don’t me me when the consequences of your irrational stupidity hit you square in
the face.’
Ann grunted slightly in response to Maeve, her attention focused entirely on Ada.
Something seemed to have changed in her demeanor and a bad feeling rolled in the
pit of Ann’s stomach.
As she tried to shake the feeling off, her mouth set into a grim line as she wondered if
it was an early premonition of things toe, i
“Don’t think I wanted toe here today either Ann.” Ada sneered as she wandered
over to the desk and idly ran her fingers over the basket handle as she flicked her
gaze up to stare at her icily.
“Then why bother at all, Ada? I’m purposely staying out of your way, so why do you
insist on bothering me constantly? Just forget about me and move on.” Ann answered
in a bored tone.
This was getting really old, really quickly, and quite frankly Ann was tired of it all. All
she wanted now was to have both her vicious step-sister and her stepmother out of
her workce so that she could work in rtive peace.
Ada snorted.
“Do you think I really have anything that resembles a choice now? I’m just doing as
I’m instructed…” Ada said, her voice tinged with sadness as she nced down at her
belly and ran a hand over it.
Ann frowned deeply at the abrupt change in Ada again.
That seemed to be the first real emotion that she had ever shown in front of her other
than anger.
Her heart lurched ufortably.
Why was she like this?
Why did she care whether or not Ada was in a difficult position or not?
Ann’s conscience pricked as Maeve swore furiously at her in her head as she took a
deep breath and took a tentative step towards Ada.
“Ada…if you need help…I can help you, you know? Life doesn’t have to be difficult for
you…we don’t always have to be at each other’s throats…”
Ada suddenly lifted her eyes to re at Ann andughed a little manically.
“Difficult? Oh, Ann, you have no f*uc*king idea what my life is like. Thest thing I will
ever do is ept help from a pathetic, mangy fleabag like you! By the time I’m done,
you’ll be begging for my forgiveness!” She hissed menacingly as an unhinged fire
seemed to light in her eyes.
In one fluid movement, she took the basket and lifted it into the air dangling it in front
of Ann mockingly.

“You can beg for my mercy and my forgiveness, but you’ll never have it, Ann. I won’t
ever stop until I’vepletely destroyed you.” Ada warned in a sickly sweet voice, as
she threw the basket at the door with as much f0rce as she could muster.
Ada grinned widely as she let out a loud and blood?curdling scream and ran her
hands through her previously immacte hair, intentionally messing it up as she
sauntered across to the wall closest to the door and looked towards Ann.
“Ann, please! I’m sorry! Please don’t do this!” Ada wailed loudly with that same smile
stered on her face as she leaned forward and locked the office door.
Ann’s heart sank as she realized just how foolish she had been to think that Ada could
ever want to have repaired the rtionship between them.
Maeve was right, this was nothing but a trap.
