Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 131 The Prison
They filed into the dim light together with Ann leading them and Adam at her side,
whilst Lexi followed with Allen, walking as close to him as she possibly could, much to
his irritation. She took every opportunity to brush his arm with her own and shed
him a coy smile and fluttered her eyshes at him suggestively every time he sideeyed her in disgust.
Although he remained silent, the grim line of his mouth showed just how irritated he
truly was and as they took their seats, he found himself caught in the middle between
Adam and Lexi with no way to move out of Lexi’s reach.

He sighed and turned to scowl at her, but his irritation was met with a wide grin. He
swallowed the remark that he desperately wanted to make and turned to face forward,
his shoulders tense at Lexi’s proximity as she scooted her chair across a little closer
so that her arms were touching his.
Ann leaned forward in her chair and shot Lexi a warning nce but she was either
oblivious to the meaning or just didn’t care. It was most likely thetter as the
unapologetic grin and cheeky wink she sent her way showed no remorse whatsoever.
She sighed in resignation and sat back in her chair as Adam squeezed her hand with
a smile. All Ann wanted was to get through today. Once the trial was concluded, then

hopefully they could move on.
Ann’s gaze drifted across the room as a distant rumbling could be heard from
somewhere along the many corridors thaty outside this
It was because of him that everything hade this far. If he had just kept away from
that vile woman in the beginning, her mother would have still been alive and none of
this would ever have happened.
Leopold looked as though he had aged a century in the past day. His once robust
appearance now seemed sickly and frail, his face almost haggard and the huge bags
under his eyes visible in even this dim lighting showed just how little sleep he must
have been getting.
“Perhaps it’s his conscience eating away at him. Let’s face it, it’s about time.” Maeve
snorted derisively.
Ann nodded her agreement. He was not the Alpha King that he once was, that was for
sure.
“Once again, thank you for attending at such short notice. We are unanimous in our
desire to have this… disappointing… matter resolved as quickly as possible.” A voice
from the shadows above rang out.
“I would say disappointing is not representative of our true feelings on the matter…”
another voice hissed.
“As I was saying…” The first voice continued loudly, “Many regrettable incidents have
urred over the past few years, for how long, we cannot be sure, but we intend to
get to the bottom of this. The Alpha King Leopold will preside over the proceedings
and will pass judgment based on our rmendations at the end. He is currently, still
the reigning Alpha King, and as such, we cannot install another regent in such a short
space of time without the general public bing aware of the… situation.”
Ann visibly tensed as the voice from above spoke and the sound of a chair being
pushed backward sounded from her side as Lexi stood in indignation at the news.
None of this did anything to calm her nerves.
“Hold on, so the ipetent Alpha King gets to pass judgment on the woman who’s
had him wrapped around her finger and nestled between her legs for the past god
knows how long? Are you f***w*g insane?” Lexi yelled furiously as Allen pulled
frantically at her arm to pull her back into her seat with a look of horror on his face.
Leopold’s face was like thunder as a light chuckle sounded from above.
“Unfortunately… yes. We are bound by thews of our inst*itution and there was
simply not enough time to arrange the coronation of our next reigning monarch, an
issue that we will address as soon as this is resolved.”
“Do you have any idea how f*uc*king…”
“As much as we understand your frustration, and empathize with your feelings, please
take your seat once more, and remain silent. You are here as a gesture of goodwill for
the a*s*sistance you have provided and as a representative of the Daemon Lord.
However, if you continue to speak out and disrupt the proceedings then we will have
no choice but to remove you from the court and continue without you.” A cold voice
rang out from above.
Allen tugged harshly at her arm with more force than was necessary and she fell
backward into her seat as she shot a furious re at him.
“Just sit down and shut up for f“*s sake. For once in your life, will you just do as you
are told?!” Allen hissed furiously as he met her re confidently.
For a second, it looked as though she might argue, but the sound of the heavy doors
swinging open and the unmistakable heavy thudding footsteps of the golems of the
Elders interrupted whatever she had intended on saying.
The four of them watched quietly as the golems entered, each hauling arge, iron
cart with thick ss between the bars and interspersed with holes which Ann
presumed was to allow air to enter.
Inside the portable prisons stood a defiant and unrepentant Narcissa, clearly worse for
wear as she red out furiously from inside, and a miserable and dejected Ada,
curled up in the corner of her own prison, hugging her knees as much as she was
able to with her growing bump.
Ann risked a nce towards her father, and she didn’t miss the pained expression
that crossed his face briefly as he gazed at his snarling ex-wife and the girl that he
had thought was his daughter.
The Alpha King Leopold waited for the prison carts to be moved into their designated
positions and cleared his throat before speaking.
“With the arrival of the guilty parties, I dere these proceedings open.” He
announced, his voice cracking ever so slightly as he gazed sadly at the women before
him.
