Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 37 The Unwilling Alpha

Her face took on a grim look of determination as she realized that there was no fixing it tonight. The pictures of the pregnant wolf and the unwilling Alpha would be plastered across tomorrow’s headlines whether she liked it or not.

The Alpha King gestured for A*n to come forward as Ada took her seat next to Brad and Lexi whistled lowly under her breath.

“What a f*cking car crash… good luck!”

A*n said nothing and walked slowly towards the dais feeling all attention riveted on her as her father spoke to the assembled guests.

“Please, excuse my daughter, Princess Ada. This is a stressful time for her. We had hoped to keep the news a secret for a little while longer but as I’m sure you’re aware, Ada and Brad are expecting pups.” He beamed proudly as the crowd gasped and questions began to be fired in quick succession at the family on stage.

“Wait… but I thought that Alpha Brad was mated to Princess A*n?!”

“That’s right! They were supposed to have been married this week! What is this lunacy?!”

“Did they have an affair?!”

“Poor A*n, and forced to attend this debacle as well. What sort of family does that to their own daughter?”

A*n smirked as she took her place next to her father, and maintained a neutral expression. It felt oddly satisfying to have people recognize the situation for what it was.

A quick glance to the side revealed Ada and Narcissa glowering furiously at her and Brad’s eyes still riveted on her, full of sorrow.
