    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 219 Reinforcements


    Adam and Allen’s faces were stony as the door closed to the cell, and Lexi was still


    fuming about Linus’sments.


    “Don’t let it get to you,” Ann said gently, “Thosements were meant to infuriate and


    provoke us into a reaction. Most likely so that he can im mistreatment at our


    hands.” she continued with a grimace. “He’s a disgusting piece of s**t. How can an


    Elder hold such a high position and still live by those archaic standards? It’s people


    like him that make the world such a horrendous ce for people with mixed heritage


    to live in…” She fumed before pausing and turning to Ann with a sigh of regret, “I wish


    you’d have let me rearrange his face just a little bit.”


    Ann smiled wryly and raised an eyebrow at her as Lexi smiled half-heartedly at her.


    “I would have settled for choking him until he passed out, you know…” Lexi offered as


    Allen looked at her with a mixture of pride and horror.


    “No, you wouldn’t.” Annughed, “You and Maeve seem to be cut from the same


    cloth. You both make it incredibly hard for me to respond rationally and calmly when I


    have you both baying for people’s blood constantly.”


    ‘It’s not their blood I’m baying for… it’s mainly their balls.’ Maeve interjected with a


    smirk, ‘Castration is incredibly effective in softening the male’s attitude.’


    ‘Maeve, that’s horrific.’ Ann admonished, ‘People can change given enough reason,


    but you have to give them a reason to change They aren’t likely to do that if you’ve


    mutted them, you’ve only given them a reason to hate you.’


    ‘Like I give a shit.’ Maeve snorted, ‘I’m merely saving future generations from having


    to deal with their bloodline’s stupidity. Stupid shouldn’t breed.’


    Ann pursed her lips and turned back to Lexi with a helpless look.


    “It appears I stand corrected. Maeve wants them castrated… you want their blood.”


    She shrugged as Lexi sniggered.


    “Come on, now that’s out of the way, we need to catch up with Bartholomew and see


    how many people are actually attending this afternoon.” Ann grinned as Adam threw


    his arm around her and they made their way out of the cells.


    They set a rxed pace, chatting seriously amongst themselves about the council


    meetingter that day and discussing the arrangements for the nned trial on the


    next day.


    As they turned the corner into the corridor that housed Bartholomew’s office, they


    could hear the distinct tone of raised voices emanating from the office’s direction.


    Picking up the pace they hurried towards his door and pushed their way in, only to see


    Felix and Grayson involved in an intense argument whilst Bartholomew looked on with


    a troubled expression. The arguing paused as they turned towards the neers,


    and quickly attempted topose themselves. “What’s going on?” Ann asked warily


    as they entered and shut the door behind them. “You do realize that we could hear the


    Both men’s faces were set in grim expressions as they bowed toward Ann and


    greeted her stiffly. “Our apologies, my Queen, there’s been troubling news from the


    border, and within our territories too, it seems,” Bartholomew exined with a troubled


    smile.


    “News? What news?” Ann asked with a frown, her heart hammering in her chest in a


    painful mix of anxiety and fear.


    “It seems that the rogues haveunched another attack along our border. They’ve


    taken the town of Elwood along our shared border and sent the head of the Alpha


    wrapped in a pretty little box.” Felix fumed as Ann’s face fell. “It was handed to my


    wife over lunch by an unsuspecting Omega as it was addressed to her.”


    “Is she okay?” Ann asked before rolling her eyes at her own stupidity, “I’m sorry. That

    was a stupid question.”


    Felix grimaced as he ran his hand through his shock of hair.


    “She’s a little shaken, but thankfully that’s all. She has a strong stomach.”


    “That’s not all, your highness, one of the hidden containment facilities notified us of


    the towns close by being attacked and requested reinforcements early this morning


    and… well… there’s been radio silence since then.” Grayson interjected as Ann’s


    mind whirled with possibilities, but in her heart, she was positive that the attack at the


    containment facility had something to do with Narcissa.


    “Have reinforcements been sent?”


    “Yes, your highness, they were dispatched within half an hour of receiving the distress


    call. Two of our rapid response teams have been sent and will report back when they


    arrive.” Greyson answered stiffly as Ann paced slowly. “How far out is the site?” Adam


    asked with a troubled expression.


    “Half a day’s travel at least.” Greyson answered quickly, “The only issue is we’re down


    to two rapid response teams within the capital, and releasing them to the viges on


    the border will leave us with a shortage of specialists and rtively unprotected here.”


    “So, you’re going to leave those people to their fate and allow those f’****g rogues to


    take another town and kill more innocents?! For all you know there are women and


    children still alive within that vige that need saving!” Felix argued.


    “For all you know, we could be ying right into their hands with this! What if it’s a


    trap?” Greyson argued back.
