Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 71 Make Amends

Narcissa froze as Ann watched the confrontation with interest. She hadn’t really thought too much about how the population felt about a non-shifter inheriting the position of Luna Queen.

“With any luck, the Alpha King will come to his senses and get rid of the things he should have done a long time ago.” He sneered.

Narcissa visibly paled as Maeve whooped excitedly in her head and Ann couldn’t help but share in her wolf’s jubilation.
