Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 63 The Goddess Gifts

The faintest flicker of doubt crossed Tomas’s face as he glanced toward where Esmerelda held Ann. It bothered him that Ann wasn’t showing more resistance to this confrontation.

If she didn’t have a mark, then surely she would be struggling more.

No… this had to be a ploy to lull them into a false sense of security. A false display of overconfidence to distract them and confuse them.

That was it. That was all that was happening here. The priestess couldn’t be wrong. Esmerelda had been instrumental in uncovering the Alpha’s lies and she would be rewarded richly once this was all over.

Tomas laughed disdainfully as he approached Adam and peered at his face through narrowed eyes before he pulled his arm back and released his fist at full force into Adam’s face.

Adam’s head snapped to the side as he felt the burning sensation spread across his face. The humiliating jeers from the wolves behind Tomas ignited a cold fury in his stomach and for the first time in years, he felt his wolf stir.

He shook his head slowly at the wolves protecting the Omega’s and a calculative smile spread across his face at Tomas’s triumphant grin as he turned his back on him.

“Stop playing with her Esmerelda and show them.” he barked impatiently.

Esmerelda smirked as she dug her fingers painfully into Ann’s jawline, her fingernails sinking into the delicate skin of her face as her head was forced to the side at an unnatural angle.

“I’m going to have fun destroying you after this you little bitch.” Esmerelda whispered. viciously as she took hold of the rolled neck of Ann’s sweater and pulled it downwards, revealing her neck to the Pack members assembled around them.

Esmerelda’s face froze as she pulled the neck of Ann’s jumper downward and gasps rippled around the room.
