Chapter 153 You Remind Me of Your Mother

Ann and Adam stood side by side on the balcony, waving down to the crowds that had

gathered below. The noise from the crowd was almost deafening. It almost seemed as

though they were fighting with one another over whose voice could shout the loudest

and reach the newly crowned Alpha Queen’s ears first. Adam chuckled softly.

“All this is for you, my Queen.” He murmured as he took her hand and brought her

fingers to his lips, kissing it gently.

Ann giggled lightly, her nerves getting the better of her as loud cheers echoed through

the air.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for their excitement and the more than warm

welcome, but I’ve done nothing to prove myself to them yet.” She replied with a

worried smile.

“Is that really what you think?” Adam murmured quietly, “Ann, take a step back and

think about it for a second. These past few months have thrown so much at you and

the accusations and lies that were thrown in your direction put you under intense

public scrutiny. Yet, no matter what Narcissa and Ada threw at you, you continuously

emerged triumphantly with your reputation intact”

“Yes… but I couldn’t have done it without you, you know? I’ve had a lot of support..”

Ann protested weakly before Adam held a hand up to stop her.

“Ann, stop. Take a second to remember where you’re standing. If I know Maeve as

well as I think I do, I’m sure she will tell you to stop with the self-doubt.”

‘He’s right you know… but I don’t intend to do it in such a nice way. Listen up sugarpuff, sure, acknowledge that sometimes everyone needs a little help but stop being a

crybaby. I’m not having you throw a little pity party for yourself every time you’re

insecure about your abilities. You’re a goddamn Queen now… act like one.’ Maeve
