Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 183 Elder Linus

Ann stared at the women who stood silently in front other, herself utterly lost for

words. They had actively sought help from her father and Narcissa and instead of

helping them, they had gone straight to the accused and let him know about the

Omega’s allegations?! This was insane!

“How long has this been going on?” Ann asked quietly.

“For around five years now, your highness.”

“It stops now.” Adam growled, “Give me his name and the girls involved.”

The Omega’s looked at each other cautiously, but it was Coral who lifted her head and

spoke. “Elder Linus, your highness. I don’t know about all the girls involved, but these

two should be able to give you the details,” she answered shakily.

Ann nodded and approached her slowly.

“Thank you. I promise that it will be dealt with as soon as we have finished here.

Ladies, if you could give Adam a list of all the girls involved, and anyone else that is

implicated in any way, I want to move on this tonight. I won’t tolerate this sort of

behavior, do you understand?”

“Yes, my queen.” The three of them nodded in unison.

Ann’s mouth set in a tight line as she reached out for Coral’s arm and touched it

gently. “Now, this isn’t the ideal time to tell you, but I don’t really have a choice. I didn’t

ask you to gather your things to throw you out as you might have first thought, Coral”

Ann continued gently as Coral met her eyes with a confused expression.

“Eva will be collecting you tomorrow morning, and taking you to stay with her for a

week or two in order to oversee your training,” Ann said with a smile, patting her arm

reassuringly.

“My training?” Coral echoed, her brows creased in confusion until suddenly it dawned

on her, “Oh my Goddess, you were serious?”

Ann chuckled.

“I was indeed. When you return, you will be acting as my Personal Assistant within the

Enclave. Where I go, you go and I expect you to keep track of my appointments for

me so I don’t miss anything. Eva will explain it in detail for you.”

Coral stared at her with wide eyes that were quickly filling with unshed tears.

“I honestly don’t know what to say! I really didn’t think you were serious! Thank you,

my Queen! I’ll study hard, I promise!” She gushed gripping hold of Ann’s hands tightly,

utterly overwhelmed with the rapid change that this was going to bring to her life.

Ann patted her hands gently and smiled.

“Things are going to change around here Coral, for everyone. It’s going to be hard,

but as long as my people are behind me, I’ll fight for every last one of them. You’ll stay

here tonight Coral, so you know that you’re safe.” “But…”

“Enough. I won’t hear any arguments. You two will be stationed across the hall from

us as well.” Ann said gesturing towards the two Omegas that stood with Adam. “When

we have gathered your statements, we’ll make sure this is taken care of tonight. After

we leave the room, I expect you to stay inside your own rooms and do not open the

door for anyone. Do you understand?”

The Omega’s nodded in agreement as Ann and Adam began making preparations.

Ann was not overly familiar with Elder Linus so she made the decision to call

Bartholomew’s office on the off-chance that he was still squirreled away in there

poring over his books.

She was right.

He answered the phone almost instantly, sounding surprised that the phone had rung

at all. “Bartholomew? It’s me, Ann. Don’t say anything yet, are you alone?” she asked

hurriedly. “Yes, my Queen, I was just about to get myself ready to greet the guests. Is

everything alright?” “Have they arrived already?”

“Not yet, but anytime now. The sentries called ahead when they passed the entrance.”

Ann swore internally. She really didn’t want this to happen in front of guests,

especially the first time she met

them. It wasn’t the best impression to leave.

“Okay. We don’t have much time then. What can you tell me about Elder Linus?”

Bartholomew snorted derisively at the other end of the phone line.

“Forgive my language my Queen, but I have a deep dislike for the man. I do not trust

him as far as I could throw him, and considering my advanced age and dwindling

strength… I’m sure you can appreciate where I am going with this.”

This was the first time that Ann had ever heard Bartholomew speak ill of anyone. He

had always at least tried to retain a sort of polite disapproval when talking about her

father and Narcissa, but she could almost feel the hatred in his voice as he spoke.

“Where will he be right now?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Not that I care, but he will most likely be getting ready to greet Alpha Felix as well, my

Queen. Forgive me, but why the interest out of the blue like this?”

Ann pursed her lips as she explained the situation as quickly as she could to an

almost deafening silence on Bartholomew’s end.

“I’ll summon the Royal guards, my queen,” Bartholomew said in a tone that made the

hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.

“We’ll meet you in the entrance hall, Bartholomew. Wait until we’re there before you

move on him, okay?”

“Yes, my Queen.”

Ann hung up and smiled bitterly to herself. It looked like the clean-up of those that

were not worthy to claim a place in the Enclave was going to start a little sooner than

she had intended.

If there was one thing she would make sure of, it was that he would never see the

light of day again for what he had done to these vulnerable women.
