Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate Chapter 191


    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 191 I’d Rather Avoid Allen


    The first meeting of the day had run over schedule by about an hour, and as the Elders filed out of the


    room in silence, Adam reached for Ann’s hand and gave it a squeeze, before he brought it to his lips,


    cing a soft kiss on her skin.


    “You were magnificent, my Queen.” He murmured as Ann giggled like a teenager at the intimate


    moment between them.


    “I just hope they finally got the message,” she sighed, her disappointment still evident as they stood


    and began to make their way toward the next scheduled meeting.


    She was satisfied with the agreed-upon actions that the Elders hadmitted to and had ordered the


    measures discussed to be implemented immediately. At least now, she had a solid n that she could


    ry to Alpha Felix so that their Kingdom didn’te across as ipetent.


    Ann’s phone rang seconds before Adam’s did, and seeing Lexi on her caller disy and Allen on


    Adam’s, they quickly took a detour to find a smaller side room where they could talk in private.


    “Hey, Queenie, what’s cooking?” Lexi sang brightly from the other end of the phone as her father’s


    deep chuckle resonated from somewhere in the background.


    “Well, where do I even start?” Ann groaned as she quickly filled her in on the events that had urred


    since she left them.


    Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Lexi whistled lowly.


    “What the actual f**k? I leave you alone for a little while and utter chaos breaks loose… every damn


    time. Do I need to make myself a permanent fixture over there?”


    “It might be wise.” Ann chuckled.


    “Well, I was going to head over shortly anyway. Papa is keen to see the abomination you have locked


    away in your dungeons over there, so I just wanted to check that it was okay and whether or not he’s


    okay to portal directly to the Enve.”


    Ann grimaced as she mulled it over. It probably wouldn’t be wise to throw the appearance of a daemon


    lord in the midst of the Enve into the faces of the Elders so soon considering how harshly she was


    coming down on them at the minute.


    “I think, just for this time, if it’s okay with you and your father, can you get to the Dark Moon pack house


    again? Allen can meet you there and bring you here, and then I can a*s*sign you guest quarters.


    Ideally, I want a portal room constructed here for your father’s exclusive usage but I still need to get to


    the vault and grab the blueprints so that I can n it out properly.”


    Lexi snorted loudly from the other end of the phone.


    “Ok, we’ll cate the Elders for now then.” she sniggered, seeing right through Ann’s line of thinking


    almost immediately, “No biggie, although I’d rather avoid Allen if possible.”


    “Ah, yes. Bartholomew filled me in on your little dilemma there, Lexi.” Ann teased, “Since when do you


    keep secrets like that from me?! Ordinarily, you’d have been jumping all over yourself to tell me you


    had two strapping men fawning over you.”


    “Rotten little snake. I didn’t think for a minute that Barty would gra*s*s me up. Rude of him.” She


    muttered, her irritation obvious. “I would have told you but I mean… it’s Allen for Goddess’s sake, and


    you were so busy… look, how about this. I’ll steal you when we get there once Papa is settled and we


    can sit and drink ourselves into oblivion while I whine about the trajectory of my life.”


    “Ha! I can’t drink myself into oblivion, but I’ll happily sit and watch while you do and listen attentively


    sweets.”


    “Sounds good. I’ll see you in a couple of hours then. I think I’ll need a bit of dutch courage before I have


    to face Allen and his stick up the a*s*s again though,” she muttered in resignation, “Ciao for now


    Queenie. Love ya!”


    Ann exhaled slowly as she waited for Adam to finish up on his call. As soon as the opportunity arose in


    a brief lull in their conversation, she asked him to let Allen know about Lexi’s imminent arrival with her


    father.


    As soon as he hung up she smiled softly at him.


    “After everything we faced, the drama doesn’t seem to stop does it? Dereliction of duties on the elder’s


    behalf, an imminent war looming on the horizon on one side and murderous, rampaging rogues on the


    other whilst we battle the depravity of our own people against the very people they were meant to


    protect… all the while trying to hold down stable diplomatic rtions with our allies.” she sighed, her


    shoulders slumping slightly as she looked up at his eyes swirling with heavy clouds ofplex


    emotion.


    He would give anything to take this enormous amount of pressure from her and give her a quiet life


    with no upheavals or major emergencies, just a simple dream of a stable pack and a house full of their


    strong, healthy pups. But he knew that it wasn’t possible, at least for now.


    Adam wrapped his arms around her tightly and cradled her head to his chest as he stroked her hair.


    “We’ll get through this, Ann. It’s just another bump in the endless road of life. Before you know it, we’ll


    be able to look back on this andugh at the insanity that we’re facing now.”


    Ann smiled weakly against his chest. She just hoped that all of them could get through this in one


    piece.


    She knew they should be making their way to the next meeting but she just wanted to lose herself in


    his arms for a few moments more, a rea*s*surance that only Adam could give as his scent invaded her


    very being.


    The longer she stood in his arms, the more she wanted a bigger distraction, something to feel anything


    but this pit of dread that was gnawing away on the inside of her stomach.


    Without thinking too much about it she turned and led Adam over to one of the benches that lined the


    sides of the small side room. She a*s*sumed that it was merely a quiet space for reading, or catching


    up on notes between meetings but ultimately, she didn’t care at this moment in time.


    Adam looked down at her questioningly as she ran her hands over the material of his shirt and slipped


    her fingers into the little gaps of material between shirt buttons.


    Slowly, she began unbuttoning the top few buttons of his shirt as she raised her eyes to meet his


    confused look with a sultry, lustful stare that told him exactly what he needed to know.


    She wanted him, right then and there.
