Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

CHAPTER 170 Return to The Coven

The trio had traveled for days with Ely as their guide to see them safely through the

treacherous terrain that they had found themselves in.

Ada had made the mistake of falling behind due to her exhaustion, but she had been

met with nothing but scorn from both her mother and her new-found uncle. There was

no sympathy or allowances made for the fact that she was pregnant and unfamiliar

with this sort of physical activity. The fact that she hadn’t eaten properly for days also

seemed to bear no weight with either of them.

They had uncaringly left her in an exhausted heap on the floor and carried on without

her when her legs gave way and if it hadn’t been for Ada’s terror at the prospect of

becoming a meal for one of the many terrifying wild beasts that roamed the landscape

and hid in the shadows at night, she would never have found the willpower to keep

moving.

Her mother had made it very clear once she caught up with them, that if it happened

again, she would leave her behind in a heartbeat. So Ada had fought desperately to

ignore the exhaustion and persevered as best she could, remaining mostly silent

about her difficulties throughout the rest of the arduous trek.

She wasn’t entirely sure that this was any better than a death sentence. Out here, her

unborn child’s life was not guaranteed, and at this point, that was all that mattered to

her.

Although her mother refused to engage her in conversation for too long, other than

biting ad disparaging words, Ely didn’t seem too averse to engaging her in

conversation. If anything, he seemed to enjoy the irritation that their chattering brought

to Narcissa.
