Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 72 Nothing But A Trap

Almost instantly Ada’s face seemed to darken at the sound of her mother’s footsteps click-clacking away from the office and disappearing down the corridor. Her pouty lips curled into a sneer of disgust as she narrowed her eyes at Ann.

“You think you’re so f*uc*king perfect don’t you?” Ada spat furiously, the full f0rce of her hatred burning clearly in her eyes as she glared at Ann intently.

Ann laughed suddenly, an ironic sound that seemed harsh in the quiet of her office, and completely out of place given the statement that Ada had just made.

“And there she is.” Ann smirked, almost triumphantly, “I knew the real you was hiding under there. What is this? Keeping up the pretense of a remorseful, vulnerable woman so that my staff takes pity on you?” “Shut up! I don’t know how you got Adam wrapped around your little finger, but he was supposed to be mine!” Ada hissed furiously.

Ann laughed again as she raised a mocking eyebrow at her.

“Adam was supposed to be yours? In what fragmented reality was this supposed to happen? So you mean to tell me that despite having your heart set on someone else, you still went after my fated mate and took it upon yourself to seduce him for yourself?”

Ann tutted slowly as she swept her gaze over her.

“Now that wasn’t very smart, was it? Don’t you think you’re being a little greedy? You know how Alpha’s are, Ada. They don’t share, and very rarely do they accept the spawn of their partner if it isn’t theirs by blood. Especially in your circ*umstances…there’s no way that Adam would ever accept your accident resulting from your duplicitous scheming as an acceptable excuse for having a child.”

“You watch your mouth you arrogant little WH*ORE!” Ada hissed as she stamped her foot angrily.
