    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 184 You Will Regret


    With the Omega’s settledfortably in their rooms, Ann left two guards outside each


    of their doors with strict instructions not to let anyone in or out other than herself or


    Adam.


    They made their way to the entrance hall in a grim silence. The horror that these girls


    had been subjected to over such a long period of time would take years to fix. She


    couldn’t believe that her father could have been so impassive about it all.


    It was just yet another crime to add to Narcissa’s long list of transgression’s and when


    it came to the time for her to answer for her crimes again, Ann would not grant her the


    mercy of a quick death, she intended to make her suffer as much as her people had


    suffered under her rule.


    The Elders turned to greet Ann with deep bows and Ann used this time to search out


    Bartholomew, who had positioned himself at one of the exits to the entrance hall with


    a small retinue of guards.


    A quick nce to her right revealed the staircase lined with the royal guard, and


    behind her, her own guard waited stoic and ready for the confrontation that they knew


    wasing.


    Ann closed the distance quickly, her aura swirling around her as Maeve sat side by


    side in her eyes with her, her golden irises burning brightly on one side, instilling a


    sense of unease in the Elder’s that were closest to her. Bartholomew murmured


    something to the guards at his side and began to make his way through the crowd.


    Ann was relying on him to indicate which of those gathered here was Elder Linus. All


    she had to go on was that he was a male and that made up approximately half of all


    the people gathered here.


    She narrowed her eyes as Bartholomew came to a stop next to a hooded man, and


    nodded slightly with his head, indicating that this was the man that she sought.


    “Elder Linus!” Ann’s voice rang out loudly, echoing around the vast hallway and


    amplifying the sound. The man next to Bartholomew turned his head slightly toward


    her and reached up slowly, lowering his hood as he regarded Ann with what could


    only be described as contempt.


    “Yes, my Queen?” He answered, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he met her stare


    with a boldness that showed he had been allowed to do as he pleased for far too long.


    “I have some questions for you regarding your interactions with the Omega’s in


    service within the Enve,” Ann answered coldly, with Adam standing at her side, his


    wolf’s aura interweaving with Ann’s as it rippled through the hall.


    A faint murmur arose from the elders assembled and Linus’s face split into a mocking


    sneer.

    “Really? The Omega’s? Imand, and they serve. It’s incredibly simple, your


    highness, what is there to question?”


    Ann clenched her fists at her side, silently willing Maeve to reign her anger in. He


    knew why she was here, and he didn’t care. He was openly mocking her.


    Privately Ann agreed with Maeve that the Luna’s justice would be incredibly


    appropriate right about now, but she refused to sink to his level.


    “Don’t y games with me, Linus.” She hissed, “I know what you did, and are still


    doing. It ends now. Guards! Arrest Elder Linus and take him to the holding cells


    below.”


    With those words, shocked gasps arose from the Elders surrounding them, and cries


    of protest were shouted as the guards moved in towards him.


    Linus never moved, nor broke eye contact with Ann as the guards forced their way


    through the crush of bodies objecting and pushing against their advance.


    Ann had expected some resistance, but not as much as was being disyed at this


    moment. Linus grinned as the cuffs closed around his wrist andughed lightly, never


    breaking his stare that was fixated on Ann.


    “You will regret this, little Queen. You have no idea who you are going up against.” He


    shouted casually as the guards began to lead him away.


    Ann could feel her heart beating rapidly inside her chest with the adrenaline of the


    moment and she was suddenly grateful for Adam’s presence beside her.


    Bartholomew smiled warmly at her, the sight reassuring and encouraging, as she


    inhaled deeply and made her way to the front of the confused and irate elders.


    She held her hands up for silence as she prepared to address the many faces that


    looked to her for an exnation.


    “Elder Linus has been used of very serious crimes against the Omega’s that work


    here.” Ann began as a few snorts were heard amidst the low murmurs
