Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 136 The Dungeons
Adam knew he didn’t have a particrly great chance at reaching Narcissa as her
prison was nked on either side by golems, but he simply couldn’t contain the fury of
his wolf, Baldur, any longer.
Narcissa’s face morphed into a look of incredulity as she witnessed Adam transform
before quickly turning to one of terror as Adam’s huge ck beast flew through the air
toward her. She scrabbled backward on the floor in terror, pressing herself against the
far wall as if expecting him to shatter through the ss.

But that simply was not possible.
In the blink of an eye, an enormous stone arm shot out in front of him, its stubby
fingers outstretched as Adam collided with what would have been the palm of its
malformed hand.

Baldur howled his outrage and wed at the hand, desperately trying to free himself
as the stubby fingers wrapped around his body and the golem moved its hand
towards its face, peering closely at the noisy, enraged ball of fur that it had caught in
its hand.
As Leopold tried everymand he knew to make the golem drop Adam, whilst
Narcissa cackled triumphantly in the background, the doors to the chamber above
grated open, and the Elders began to file in.
“What in the Goddess…” An irritated female voice came from above.
“Exin yourselves at once!” demanded the raspy ancient voice.
Ann was terrified that the Elders would find out that Adam’s parents were k*il*led at
his own hands. If they weren’t already aware then Adam would undoubtedly be ced
on trial for their murder. Whether he was under the influence of magic or not, in the
eyes of thew, murder was still murder and consequences still remained for those
who hadmitted heinous acts while under the dark influence.
She opened her mouth to reply to them but her father beat her to it.
“Narcissa admitted to murdering his parents when he was a boy and…” Leopold
paused as he threw a quick sideways nce at Ann, “Coercing and controlling Adam
Nocturne through her magic when he was but a child. She has also admitted to being
responsible for the curse that was ced on Adam to not only suppress his wolf but to
conceal his fated mate from him so that he would be forced to marry Ada.”
A low murmur rippled from above as they quietly discussed what Leopold had said.
“It wouldn’t have ended there either!” She continued viciously, “If it weren’t for my
pathetic excuse of a daughter’s continuous f’*k ups then I would have seeded in
every aspect of my ns! Once the alliances were made, then the final stage of our
Coven’s n could begin. Your pathetic packs would be given a choice…either
support my brothers and sisters in their resurgence as well as our Lord’s or, be
exterminated.”
“You would have failed miserably. I wouldn’t have stood for that.” Ann answered with
passion in her voice, sure of herself and her words.
Narcissaughed as she turned her head slowly toward her.
“You wouldn’t have stood for anything Ann because you would have already been
murdered and Brad coerced into doing every little thing that Imanded of him. Tell
me… which pack in existence can stand against not only the King’s army but also the
Dark Moon’s and the Crystal Pack’s, hmm? We would have been unstoppable…”
Ann narrowed her eyes dangerously as Maeve roared her fury, promising a myriad of
painful ways that she would die.
“Sucks to be you then,” Lexi snorted with a smirk,” Considering your n failed
miserably..just face it Narcissa, you’re nothing but a loser. You’ll go down in history as
the woman who single-handedly f“*‘d up your coven’s ns for world domination.” she
continued, sniggering.
“Shut up! That’s not true! No one else has EVER gotten as far as I did…” Narcissa
hissed in outrage before she began yelling incoherently at Lexi.
In a matter of seconds, the courtroom had descended into chaos.
Narcissa screamed obscenities towards Lexi who stood smirking smugly, with her
arms folded in front of her and her eyebrow c“‘*d. Allen was ring furiously at her
whilst Ann threw murderous res toward Narcissa.
Ada sobbed deliriously in her prison cage whilst Leopold shouted frantically at the
Golem and Adam snarled and wed viciously at the golem’s giant hand.
Without any warning, a blinding white light filled the room as if something had
exploded, which stunned everyone to silence. In a matter of seconds, the light
dissipated and a furious voice rang out from above.
“I will have order in the Enve! Oh, my goddess…never have I ever seen…will
someone please get that golem to let go of Alpha Nocturne…”
Silence descended on the room as Adam shifted back to his human form and was
escorted back to where he had previously been seated with a murderous look still
imprinted on his features.
Leopold had only just retaken his seat as the ancient voice from above rang out
clearly.
“We will choose to let this insolence slide, taking into ount the provocation and the
gravity of the confession, however, any further outbursts such as that will result in a
short stay in a less thanfortable ‘visitors suite’ in the halls below,” it warned
gravely.
“He means the dungeons…” Allen muttered as he looked pointedly at Lexi, who rolled
her eyes in response and stuck her middle finger up in front of his face, apanying
it with a sweet smile.
“A decision has been reached, however..” The ancient voice continued as Ada’s head
whipped up to stare into the darkness above.
“Considering the gravity of the crimes we can rmend nothing less than the death
penalty for both Narcissa and Ada.”
Narcissa snorted in contempt as Ada wailed uncontrobly.
“However,” the voice continued, “Due to Ada’s pregnancy, we cannot let the unborn
child suffer as a result of the mother’s actions. We will not condemn an innocent soul
to answer for its mother’s crimes, so we rmend that until the birth of the child,
both mother and daughter are held in the containment facility for dangerous
individuals in the north of the Kingdom.”
The faint light of hope that had lit up in Ada’s eyes was quickly doused as she realized
that her sentence wasn’t the act of mercy that she had hoped it would be.
Leopold nodded thoughtfully as the Elders announced their rmendations.
Ann held her breath as she waited for her father to speak. He had the final say in
these matters and if he chose instead to let them walk free, then there was nothing
they could do to stop it. He was still the Alpha King.
In her heart, Ann swore that if that was the decision her father made, as soon as she
was made Alpha Queen, then she would spare no effort in hunting down and
recapturing both Ada and her mother. She would not let them go unpunished for the
lifetime of crimes that they hadmitted.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Leopold spoke.
“Ada will spend her time in protective custody in solitary confinement to ensure a safe
delivery, whereas Narcissa will wait until her date of execution among the general
poption. This is my final judgment.” Leopold said as the golems moved forward and
took hold of the prison carts.
“No… father! Please!” Ada begged hopelessly as her cart was pulled from the room.
Leopold watched in silence as the sound of her cries for mercy echoed along the
corridor. He didn’t say anything until the doors had closed behind them and as he
looked to the floor, the sadness and misery in his eyes were caught by Ann, and so
too were the murmured words that he spoke to himself.
“Forgive me Ada… but you were never my daughter to begin with.”
