Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 155This Did Not Bode Well at All

Ann and Adam followed the senior Elder in front of them, with the Enclave guard

contained on all sides by the Royal guard as they made their way to one of the private

rooms available.

“I’m terribly sorry for this outrageous intrusion, my Queen. He should have been

stopped by the guards before he ever got this far…” The senior Elder grumbled.

He had briefly introduced himself as Bartholomew, one of the Senior Elders that

oversaw the Enclave, before offering to escort them to a private room to receive

whatever news it was that the man had brought.

“It’s not a problem, Bartholomew. If it is as important as I think it may be, then the

sooner we hear what he has to say, the better.”

Bartholomew turned to look at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes, and she

didn’t miss the curious look that Adam gave her either.

“Do you know what he’s here for, my Queen?” Bartholomew asked as casually as

possible, but there was a definite hint of suspicion in his tone.

Ann smiled lightly and shook her head.

“I don’t know for sure, no. However, I can only pray that I’m wrong in my suspicion.”

From the moment that the council had announced their removal to a containment

facility, she had been concerned that something like this might happen. However, she

had reasoned with herself that they transported inmates constantly to that facility, and

there had never been successful attacks on the convoys before.

Ann had put aside her paranoia and trusted that the Elders knew what they were

doing. After all, Ada’s baby was innocent, despite the heinous crimes that its mother
