    Chapter 187 I’m So Lucky to Have You


    As soon as the door was shut behind them, Ann erupted as she paced furiously.


    “How could they be so irresponsible! These are the lives of our people! The tant


    disregard forthe safety and wellbeing…” Ann froze mid-sentence and swore internally


    as her eyesnded on the terrified face of Coral peeking out from the study that her


    bed had been set up in.


    She took a few calming breaths as Adam rubbed her arms gently, and she allowed the


    soothing effect that his presence had on her to wash over her and calm her raging


    spirit.


    “I’m sorry Coral. Things have been a little difficult today. You didn’t need to see that.”


    Ann said wearily as she sank onto the edge of her bed.


    Coral blinked at her and visibly gulped as she took a tentative step into the bedroom


    area, sping her arms around herself protectively.


    “It’s okay, your highness. There’s no need to apologize to me. I can stay in another


    room if you need to vent. I shouldn’t really be in here anyway.”


    “Nonsense.” Ann replied quickly, “At least this way, we all know that you’re safe. I’m


    sorry I startled you.” Coral smiled awkwardly and stood there for a few seconds, the


    silence seeming to extend for what seemed like an eternity before she cleared her


    throat and excused herself. Returning to the office space and closing the partition


    door behind her.


    Ann groaned loudly and threw herself backward on the bed.


    “I’m such an i*dio*t. I can’t believe I forgot Coral was in here.”


    “Ann, its really not a big deal. I’m sure she’s seen much worse than someone venting


    after a stressful day.” Adam soothed, “Why don’t I run you a bath, hmm? It’ll help rx


    you and then we can get settled and talk over anything that you need to, okay?”


    Ann sat up with a sigh and ced her hands on his cheeks, staring up at him with


    adoration in her eyes. “I’m so lucky to have you, you know?” she whispered.


    “I know.” He chuckled, leaning forward and nting a tender kiss on her lips, “Let me


    run you that bath.” Ann grinned at him as he turned and made his way into the


    bathroom, with Ann following behind him only momentster.


    She stripped off under his hungry gaze and looked across at him coyly as she slipped


    into the soothing water


    “You’ll have to reign that lust of yours in tonight, Alpha. We have a guest in the next


    room.” She chuckled. “I swear you do these things just to torment me,” he grumbled


    sulkily.


    “I most certainly do.” She teased as he went back into the bedroom to gather her


    nightwear. By the time they had settled into bed, Ann’s anger had subsided


    significantly. She no longer felt like exploding, it was more of a cool, collected anger


    that promised to fuel her quest for justice, no matter the cost. “Penny for your


    thoughts?” Adam murmured into her hair as she snuggled up against his chest. “I


    know I should have expected this, but honestly, I’m surprised at just how ipetent


    my father was in his final years. Do you think I could have put a stop to this sooner?”


    Adam’s hand paused in its soft stroking motions as she felt the weight of his stare on


    her.


    “You can’t me yourself, Ann. There’s no way that you could have known how deep


    the negligence ran.” “No, but perhaps I could have stopped Narcissa sooner, maybe


    shaken a little sense to my father…” “Ann, stop it. There’s no way that anything would


    have changed even if you had acted sooner. Yourfather refused to listen for years until


    it was toote. It took the Royal Enve turning against him for him to finally see


    sense.” Ann hummed in reply, although she didn’t fully believe the words of


    reassurance.


    ‘Adam’s right. Stop being a whiny little pup.’ Maeve yawned sleepily as she curled


    around herself. ‘You can’t


    change the past, so it’s pointless dwelling on it. You can, however, make things right


    moving forward.’ Ann snorted inwardly as she enjoyed the soothing touch of Adam’s


    fingers against her skin. ‘Since when did you get so wise?1 Ann chuckled.


    ‘Since forever. We are Alpha’s, Ann. We are the Royals. It is our job to put right

    everything that our father allowed Narcissa to ruin. I’m positive that in some way,


    Linus will be connected to Narcissa and her cronies.’


    ‘Do you really think so?’
