Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

CHAPTER 170 Return to The Coven

The trio had traveled for days with Ely as their guide to see them safely through the treacherous terrain that they had found themselves in.

Ada had made the mistake of falling behind due to her exhaustion, but she had been met with nothing but scorn from both her mother and her new-found uncle. There was no sympathy or allowances made for the fact that she was pregnant and unfamiliar with this sort of physical activity. The fact that she hadn’t eaten properly for days also seemed to bear no weight with either of them.

They had uncaringly left her in an exhausted heap on the floor and carried on without her when her legs gave way and if it hadn’t been for Ada’s terror at the prospect of becoming a meal for one of the many terrifying wild beasts that roamed the landscape and hid in the shadows at night, she would never have found the willpower to keep moving.

Her mother had made it very clear once she caught up with them, that if it happened again, she would leave her behind in a heartbeat. So Ada had fought desperately to ignore the exhaustion and persevered as best she could, remaining mostly silent about her difficulties throughout the rest of the arduous trek.

She wasn’t entirely sure that this was any better than a death sentence. Out here, her unborn child’s life was not guaranteed, and at this point, that was all that mattered to her.

Although her mother refused to engage her in conversation for too long, other than biting ad disparaging words, Ely didn’t seem too averse to engaging her in conversation. If anything, he seemed to enjoy the irritation that their chattering brought to Narcissa.

As Ada discovered, he had heard of their incarceration and impending trial from one of his sources, but because of the speed thatthe trial was conducted at, he simply didn’t have the time to gather the necessary components to launch a rescue attempt beforehand.
