Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Chapter 276 Her Name Is Coral

Ann sat in the council chamber with both Adam and Coral at her side, the Elders clearly torn between being uncomfortable with an omega’s presence at such a high-ranking meeting, as well as curious as to the purpose.

Coral shifted uncomfortably beside Ann as some of the degrading whispers reached their ears, as well as the curious ones. It always seemed to be the negative ones that had the most impact on a persons confidence though.

She had returned from her time with Eva far less timid and a lot more confident and honestly, it warmed Ann’s heart to see that such a small decision on her part, had driven such a large impact on Coral’s life so far.

Coral had been paid for her time in training with Eva a decent wage, and by her own admission, it was more than she had ever seen in all of her years working for the Enclave. That in itself bothered Ann greatly and she intended to rectify it today.

“Right, let’s get started shall we?” Ann announced brightly as the murmurs that had rippled around the room died down and Coral took a visibly shaky breath as she readied the stylus on the electronic diary and notepad that she held tightly in her hands before her.

“With all due respect,” A voice rose from the crowd, “What exactly is an omega doing in the council chambers?”

Ann smiled in the direction of the voice, a little bit pleased that she could address this immediately rather than have it hang over them for the duration of the meeting.

“Such a polite way of saying that you don’t approve of her presence,” Ann smiled dangerously as she continued, “Coral has just returned from an extensive training course that I sent her on a few weeks ago and has performed beyond expectations during her time there. With her exceptional performance in mind I have instated her as my personal assistant …my royal secretary, if you will.”

The expected myriad of whispers rose up from the Elders as another voice rose from amongst their ranks.

“Your highness, not that we don’t doubt the omega’s abilities, but there are many children that have been born to ranked members that would jump at the opportunity to…”
