Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate Chapter 134


    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 134 A Female Alpha


    Narcissa seemed to have reached the point where she no longer bothered to fight the inevitable and


    she leaned backward in her position on the floor in a rxed manner as she tilted her chin arrogantly


    and chuckled.


    “So much to divulge, yet where do I even begin?” She chuckled quietly to herself.


    “The Coven. What are your ns and who do you serve?” Leopold said icily, a dark cloud seemed to


    have settled over his face as he red at the woman he had once called his wife.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    She grinned back at him and sighed dramatically.


    “The Excidium Coven answers to Daemon Lord Eromaug, his power is like nothing you’ve ever seen


    before. We want nothing more than to rise once again, and have our ranks swell as we are returned to


    our rightful ce as rulers of this Kingdom!” She answered, her passionate devotion for her master


    clear in the vehemence with which she spoke.


    Lexi snorted and sat back in her chair heavily, almost in disbelief.


    “That little prick managed to get a foothold here?” she whispered almost incredulously as she shook


    her head in disbelief. She was quickly silenced by a fierce re from Allen and she rolled her eyes as


    she listened intently to what else Narcissa was f*orc*ed to reveal.


    “Go on..” Leopold said as faint whispers could be heard from above. “We were sent out years ago, to


    work our way into positions of power and w our way to the top. Whether you want to acknowledge it


    or not, my brothers and sisters are everywhere and none of you will realize it until it’s toote. If you


    don’t believe me, just ask Alpha Nocturne over there… he’s been decidedly quiet regarding the


    imprisonment of Tomas, don’t you think? Incredible how none of you asked any questions regarding the


    absence of an Elder who was formerly held in high esteem.” She cackled happily as she reveled in the


    gasps of outrage that sounded from the Elders above.


    She waited for them to quieten down as shemented sadly.


    “Such a pity that Esmerelda failed… it works to my benefit though. At least I was not the first to fail.”


    Ann nced across at Adam and saw that his face had almost frozen in a stony expression, and with a


    quick nce at Alien’s face, she could see that his expression mirrored Adam’s. She frowned lightly


    and wondered what exactly had happened to Tomas, if anything, and resolved to ask them when this


    ordeal was over and done with.


    “So essentially you’re going to aim for world domination like a delusional viin… am I right?” Lexi


    snorted as she bounced her knee in agitation. “Could you note up with anything more original?”


    Narcissa’s head whipped around and she narrowed her eyes dangerously as she red in Lexi’s


    direction beforeughing lightly.


    “Ironic that the forbidden spawn of a witch and a notorious Daemon Lord sits freely here under the


    court’s protection, don’t you think?” she spat.


    “Their race! You keep my mother’s memory out of your twisted little mouth!” Lexi fumed against the


    backdrop of Narcissa’s peals ofughter.


    “That’s enough, Lexi,” Leopold said softly, yet the rare sternness of his words instantly stopped Lexi in


    her tracks and she sat back with a murderous re directed straight at Narcissa.


    “You’re no different than us,” Narcissa sneered, “Consorting with Daemons and using them to your own


    advantage… yet you have the audacity to judge us…”


    “So your Daemon lord instructed your coven on their actions. I understand. Now, tell me every scheme


    and move you made from the moment that you entered the pce. Leave no detail out.” Leopold


    interrupted.


    Narcissa’s mouth twisted into a poisonous smile.


    “If you want me to be honest with you, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get under your skin. You


    were weak, insecure…” She trailed off as she scratched her face thoughtfully.


    “I thought that poisoning your ex-wife and coaxing you into rejecting her would have been far harder


    than it actually was, yet no sooner did you realize that she was bing weaker by the day, did you


    seek the easiest way to reject her, and trade her for a stronger mate.”


    Narcissa’s face seemed to light up with joy at the look of horror on Leopold’s face.


    “Don’t pretend you didn’t know. I was careful with the amount I slipped into her food and drink at first,


    but as soon as I saw your distaste at the thought of having a weak mate and yourck of interest in


    finding out what was actually wrong with her, I decided to move things forward a little quicker than I had


    originally nned. The only problem I had was when your wolf would take control of you against your


    will… he nearly seeded in k*il*ling me quite a few times as I slept!” she t*ittered as if recalling a fond


    memory.


    “Even when you rejected her, he hated you for it and fought me every step of the way. It wasn’t until I


    k*il*led her that something seemed to snap inside of him and gradually, the enchantments I wove


    managed to suppress him. It was the same for Ann. Her wolf was something else, even at a young


    age, and although Ann couldn’t feel her yet… I could sense her vtility and her hatred so I made sure


    that she was suppressed with an enchantment reserved for only the most dangerous of enemies. I


    couldn’t risk her ruining everything that I had worked so hard for when she came of age and was


    granted her first transformation.”


    Maeve’s growl rippled from Ann’s chest and spread throughout the room, making even the Elder’s hair


    stand on end and filling them with a desire to cate the fury of the wolf that raged in any possible way


    that they could.


    “See?” Narcissa chuckled, “A female Alpha. Not only incredibly rare but also incredibly dangerous. I did


    attempt to win her over to my side but when I saw the hatred reflected in both the girl and the beast


    within, I didn’t really have a choice. She would have been a powerful ally.” Narcissa said almost


    regretfully.


    Leopold stood silently for a few moments in front of her cell as his fists balled at his side, his anger


    palpable. “I think we have heard everything that we need to.” An ancient voice sounded tremulously


    from above. “I’m not finished…” Leopold growled out furiously as he turned and red up at the council


    above. “You may not be… but we have heard all that we need to in order to make a decision. We will


    retire briefly to the inner sanctum and discuss our rmendations for judgment, although I am


    almost certain what fate awaits her.”


    “And what of Ada? You still haven’t heard from her…” Leopold protested indignantly. “It is ringly


    obvious that she isplicit in the crimes of her mother. Judgment will be passed ordingly.” A


    female voice answered above the sound of the Elders beginning to leave the area above, irrespective


    of the King’s wishes. Ann could do nothing but watch and wait, but she shared her father’s frustration.


    There was more that she wanted to know. Now that her fury had risen to match Maeve’s, she was filled


    with the desire to question them both on her own terms, and enact judgment herself.


    If Maeve had any say in the matter then her death would be as painful and as slow as possible.


    The gentle squeeze of Adam’s hand on her own did little to soothe her raging spirit, and it was clear


    that Lexi’s feelings mirrored her own.


    But, when it came down to it, the decision was out of their hands. All they could do was wait.
