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.

But this dialogue brought a slight smirk to her lips despite her attempts to suppress it. Maeve snickered gleefully inside of her head as they watched a murderous-looking cloud descend over Narcissa’s face.

Narcissa turned slowly to face him and glowered fiercely. “Bold words for a lowly ranked guard in an office.” She sneered, “I wonder how my husband will react when he finds out about the dissent amongst the lower ranks.”

“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.

However, whether they liked it or not, Narcissa was married to the Alpha King, and talk of this could result in the Guards’ arrest for treasonous disorder.
