Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 14 Do You Regret?

“If you kept your hands to yourself I wouldn’t need to…”

“Wouldn’t need to what, boy? Make a fool of yourself and give people reason to doubt your capabilities as an Alpha?” Adam snorted.

“I’ll make you regret that!”

“I’d love to see you try again when you’ve put a little more thought into this…whatever this was.”

Brad growled as he finally lay still under Adam’s grip.

He was furious. How had he let himself be made such a fool of? His reputation would suffer greatly for this. Alpha Nocturne had already gained himself a reputation as a powerful Alpha and Brad had been looking forward to crushing his arrogance when he ascended to the throne.

Now, not only had he shown himself as incapable of that in a moment of fury, but he had also managed to alienate the one person who was truly capable of helping him rise to the throne.

Ada was nothing compared to Ann, she didn’t even have a wolf for goddess sake. The packs would never accept her. She would never rule and now he was stuck with a pregnant wolfless partner from an encounter that he hardly remembered.

“Mark my words, Alpha Nocturne. I’ll make you pay for this.” He snaried quietly.

Adam leaned in with a grin.

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll try at least. However, right now, I have someplace to be and I intend on taking your ex-mate with you. She’ Il be staying with me for the foreseeable future and there’s absolutely nothing that you can do about that.” He murmured just quietly enough so that only the two of them could hear it.
