Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 171 An Inconsequential Object
Even in the dim light of the cavern with the shadows grasping greedily around the
light, Ada could see her mother nch suddenly and the briefest flicker of fear
crossed her face.
“You’re lying. It’s not possible. He would not…” Narcissa stammered uncertainly as
Ely chuckled darkly. “You know very well that he would. Ada is your child and your
responsibility. She does not hold the weight of responsibility until she has reached the

age of twenty-one and been bound to the coven and the Lord himself.” He snorted
disdainfully as he flicked his eyes over Narcissa with what seemed like disgust.

Narcissa schooled her face into an emotionless mask as his words sank in and Ada
couldn’t help but wrap her arms around her belly a little tighter. If her mother was
afraid, then Ada knew things were bad. “I see you really haven’t changed one-bit, dear
brother. Turned in by my own family… I should have seen iting.” She spat bitterly.
“I am simply carrying out orders, sister.” Ely grinned unrepentantly as he spread his
arms wide, “You know full well how everything works here. I don’t have the luxury of
choice any more than you do.”
Narcissa snorted in disbelief as they continued into the cavern and towards the
smaller tunnels that seemed to erupt from every avable surface of the glistening
rock face.
Their bedraggled party was met with curious stares and faint murmurs that were
amplified in the acoustics of the cavern so much so that the very air seemed to be
alive around them.
“Do I at least get the chance to freshen up before being brought before Him?”
Narcissa asked carefully as Ada watched her pulling at her fingers with what appeared
to be anxiety.
Ely snorted and continued forward without answering and Narcissa’s mouth settled
into a grim line. As they reached a monstrous cavern, the ceiling so high that Ada
could not see a discernible end to the roof above, Narcissa turned to Ada and scowled
deeply at her.
“What happens here is entirely down to your actions, Ada. YOU have caused this with
your selfishness and fixation on destroying Ann.” She hissed vehemently, “I hope
you’re f*“**g happy.”
Ada swallowed nervously under the intensity of her hateful gaze and tried to shrink
away from her menacing figure when suddenly, the sound ofughter echoed around
the chamber.
Narcissa straightened up instantly and looked around her wildly as if trying to locate
the source of the sound that made Ada’s instincts scream in terror. The hairs on the
back of her neck stood on end as her body reacted subconsciously to the threat that
the sound all but promised.
“Ah, would you look at that? Theuded prodigy returns as a failure after so many
long years…” Azy voice drawled from within the shadows and instantly, Narcissa
and Ely dropped to their knees, leaving Ada standing beside them frozen in panic
momentarily.
Ely nced towards Ada and reached up, tugging the hem of her clothes downward
insistently. The unexpected sensation pulled her out of her shock and she dropped to
her knees clumsily.
“My lord, I…” Narcissa began in a clear and confident voice but she was cut off almost
instantly. “I did not say that you could speak.” the voice snapped harshly as Narcissa’s
head seemed to droop a little lower.
Ada could feel herself trembling as the sound of footsteps drew closer to where they
knelt. Her heart was racing so wildly and with such force, that she could hear the
pounding in her eardrums.
A pair ofrge, heavy military-style boots stopped in front of her as she tried
desperately to press herself closer to the floor. She could feel the power rolling off him
and he made no effort to disguise it, the cloying darkness slithering over and around
her, attempting to force itself inside of her very being.
“Your mother would have me believe that such a pathetic little half breed is capable of
derailing almost 20 years of careful nning, and that she was powerless to put a
stop to it.” The sinister voice stated with a chuckle as Ada felt his fingers entwine
themselves in her hair.
The barest sound of a whimper sounded in her throat as she scrunched her eyes
closed, silently begging for him to leave her alone in her head, but whatever gods that
remained in this realm were clearly not listening.
With a violent tug, Ada was pulled upwards by the male before her, her hair clenched
tightly in his fist as he held her in the air before him. A gasp of surprise escaped her
lips as her hands flew to where his fingers bunched her hair painfully and without
meaning to, her eyes locked with his as she closed her hands over his.
This man was indeed the most hauntingly beautiful man that she had ever seen in her
life, and for a moment, it almost took her breath away. If they had met under any other
circumstances, Ada knew without a doubt that she probably would have done
anything it took to gain even a minute of this man’s attention.
A shock of raven hair hung haphazardly over his forehead and his prominent brow
and cheekbones seemed to enhance the almost ethereal beauty that his sickly
golden fire, a sight that should have been warming, but the cold, hard hatred that
practically oozed from him as he narrowed his eyes at her almost stopped her heart in
terror.
His beautiful mouth curled upwards in a sneer and he turned to re disdainfully at
Narcissa with a paradoxicalzy smile ying at the edges of his mouth, before
throwing Ada’s body violently towards where her mother and uncle were hunched
over, as if she was nothing more than an inconsequential object.
The impact sent them all sprawling and all three of them scrabbled to retake their
positions of genuflection before him as he chuckled darkly and strode towards them
purposefully.
Without wasting a second he picked Ely up by the neck and flung him backward with
such force that he skidded across the floor and stopped only millimeters away from
the entrance.
