Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate Chapter 188


    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 188 Not an Omega Anymore


    The morning seemed to roll around quicker than she had anticipated, and Ann didn’t feel like she had


    slept at all. She must have fallen asleep at some point in the early hours though, listening to the


    rhythmic soft snoring of Adam as his chest rose and fell predictably under her hand.


    When she opened her eyes Adam was nowhere to be seen and Coral was in the process ofying out


    breakfast on the table by the window.


    Ann stretched reluctantly and sat up in bed, blinking the sleep from her eyes and before he could open


    her mouth to ask anything, Coral spoke.


    “Good morning your highness.” She said softly with a little bow, “The Queens Consort said to tell you


    that he’s gone to call Allen, and not to forget that Eva will be here shortly. He thought it prudent to have


    breakfast in your chambers so as to save a little time.”


    Ann opened her mouth to object and then closed it again, as a smile yed at the edges of her mouth.


    “It makes sense. Thank you, Coral. Give me a few moments to shower and dress and then I’lle


    and eat with you.”


    Coral’s eyes were wide in horror and Ann chuckled.


    “Coral, you are not an Omega anymore, you’ll be my personal a*s*sistant very soon. Besides, even if


    you were an Omega, there is nothing wrong with me eating with you at the same table. You and I are


    no different, other than the status of our birth, and of our wolves.”


    Coral’s eyes flickered with doubt as she watched Ann collect her clothes and disappear into the


    bathroom. The whole situation seemed almost too good to be true.


    A lowly Omega since birth, and a weak one with no particr talents at that, she had always been on


    the receiving end of whatever s**t the rest of the staff chose to throw at her. She had taken it on the


    chin and simply epted it as her lot in life, but now, all of that seemed to be changing.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Even when she had been forced to entertain Linus, she bore the pain with a dignity that she felt sure


    her parents would have been proud of. An Omega’s job was to be seen and not heard, to attend to the


    higher-ranking wolves’ needs, whatever they may be.


    She had always been grateful that she hadn’t been selected as a breeding partner because she felt


    that living like that was possibly a fate worse than death for her. Condemned to never have the chance


    to meet your fated… it was beyond cruel.


    Not that many tales of the Omega’s who met their mates ever ended well, especially if they were mated


    above their stations. More often than not, they were little more than concubines to the masters above


    them that had imed them as their own. They might be a mate in name, but they most definitely were


    not in status. It was sheer luck that had ced her as Ann’s personal maid, and she questioned the


    decision every day. There had been uproar in the Omega’s quarters when her name was suddenly


    announced for the position. Yet now, here she was. On the precipice of a terrifying increase in her


    status. She dreaded to think how the Elders would react when they found out…apart from Bartholomew


    of course. He had always been kind to her… to all of them.


    The sound of the bathroom door opening pulled her from her thoughts suddenly and she shifted


    awkwardly on the spot, not knowing where to ce herself.


    Should she sit? Should she let Ann choose her ce first? Should she be serving her or offering help?


    “Please, sit down Coral. Your anxiousness is making me nervous as well.” Ann chuckled as she moved


    past her and took a seat at the table in front of the delicious spread that Coral had so painstakinglyid


    out in front of her. Coral took a seat opposite her and swallowed nervously, unsure of how to act.


    Ann sighed lightly and passed her a te with a smile. “You’ll have to get used to this Coral, I usually


    took my breakfasts in the office with Eva so that we could discuss any issues that might have arisen


    and go over the schedule for the day. Rx. We don’t bite.” Coral forced a smile and bobbed her head


    as she took the te carefully and ced a few items on it, nibbling carefully at the edges of them.


    A knock at the door rang through the room and Coral jumped despite herself, but Ann didn’t even bat


    an eye. “Who is it?”


    “Eva is here to see you, your highness.” the guard’s voice sounded from outside the door. “Okay, let


    her in,” Ann called out as she shoved a few slices of prosciutto ham onto a thick slice of buttered bread


    and topped it with some soft cheese.


    Ann shoved a huge wadge of bread into her mouth at the exact moment that Eva entered and grinned


    at her with her cheeks puffed out as she chewed.


    “Nice to see that the title of Alpha Queen hasn’t changed your appalling table manners.” Evaughed


    as she made her way over and plonked herself down heavily on the chair next to them before running


    her eyes over Coral appraisingly, “This is Coral, I a*s*sume?”


    Coral nodded shyly as she forced herself to look at Eva directly.


    “Nice to meet you sugar, I’m Eva. I’ll be your all-inclusive guide to the ins and outs of keeping the boss


    here on track for things that she would forget about in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for us support staff.” She


    beamed widely as Coral tried not to show her confusion at the familiar way that they had of speaking


    with each other.


    “I’m Coral. I’m looking forward to the experience.” She answered nervously as Ann chuckled lightly.


    “Excellent. I hate to be the one to rush you both, but can I get you to sign these quickly Ann? It’s the


    sign-offs on purchase orders for the remaining materials for thepletion of the Gorgon’s build.”


    “Ah! No problem,” Ann nodded eagerly as she wiped her hands and reached for the papers. “Coral,


    whenever you’ve finished eating, if you want to gather your things up and go with Eva, I’m sure she’ll


    stop by somewhere to get you little something more substantial.”


    Coral nodded and quickly stood from the table to go and collect her things. If truth be told, she really


    wasn’t that hungry. She was far too nervous to eat.


    As she peeked back through the c***k in her door and saw the interaction between the Alpha Queen


    Ann and her former a*s*sistant Eva, Coral suddenly had the overwhelming feeling that everything was


    going to be alright. Things were finally about to change for the better.
