Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 158 Not a Social Call

Ann and Adam made their way back to their quarters under the escort of the Royal

guards and once inside, Ann gratefully closed the door behind her.

It was glaringly obvious that they wouldn’t be able to return to the palace anytime

sent over whilst Ann got herself changed out of the ceremonial attire and into

requesting a few items of clothing that she knew she was lacking for official functions,

diplomatic liaisons, and possibly for the meetings within the Enclave too.

If at all possible she would much rather reserve the impractical gowns for official balls

and banquets, and wanted to take a practical approach to her clothing. If she could

get away with trouser suits, or something similar then she intended to do so.

Although the issue of the symbolic, yet functional weaponry she was expected to carry

still bothered her.

‘Why bother with weapons at all when we have our teeth? I can do far more damage

than a sword or set of daggers can, with far less exertion too.’ Maeve sulked.

‘I know, but you have to remember that threats are not always obvious until the last

minute. What happens if we inadvertently ingest some sort of concoction that renders
