Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 65 Why Do you Look So Sad?

Ann rolled her eyes as she gestured to the wolves.

“As much as I find it degrading to do so, I invite you all to inspect the claim that your Alpha has made upon my body. If that is what I must do to prove that this woman spouts nothing but lies, then so be it.”

A low murmur rose from the wolves as they took a step backward, clearly hesitant to offend either their Alpha or their Luna.

“Please, don’t be afraid to do so. I want to put a stop to this insanity. This Pack had been so welcoming to me when I first came, but I felt it only moments ago…the shift in your attitude toward me. If this will provide the reassurance you need then, as your Luna, I am willing to take that step.” Ann said quietly.

Not a single wolf moved towards her, all of them averting their eyes as one before a voice rose above them, strong and clear.

“Forgive me for speaking out, my Luna, but, none of us ever doubted you. We have faith in our Alpha and you, as our Luna. Whether you were his fated mate or his chosen, to me at least, it didn’t matter. A strong Pack has strong leaders and Alpha Nocturne has always been that to

us.”

A murmur of agreement rippled around the room as the male voice continued.

“As for this ‘darkness’ that the witch claims lives inside of him…I don’t believe it for a second. We have all seen the mark you bear no thanks to this… female’s forcible exposure. She says that the darkness will prevent him from ever finding his true mate… but you are marked… and we are all fully aware of the mating that takes place between you both…”

A ripple of chuckles ran around the room and Ann felt her cheeks color as she glanced across at Adam who, for some reason, grinned proudly at her.
