Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 132: Did You Ever Love Me At All?
“Guilty? You’ve already decided our fate then, my love?” Narcissa yelled as she raged against the bars
and glass of her cage. Leopold glanced across at her and his gaze hardened.
“I don’t think I have ever been your love, not truly. I think, given all of the evidence collected and
testimony from various parties involved, that I was merely a means to an end.” He said coldly as he
stood from his seat and made his way down from the dais towards the area where Narcissa and Ada’s
cages sat.
Narcissa watched him approach through narrowed eyes and smirked as he stood almost nose to nose
with her, separated only by the glass and iron bars between them.
“What would you know about my goals or achievements, Leopold, hmm? No sooner had you decided
that you wanted me, did you whisk me away to your palace with the promise of a happily ever after.”
She laughed coldly. “Did you ever stop to think what I wanted?”
Leopold narrowed his eyes slightly as he inhaled deeply.
“The guilt trips don’t work on me anymore Narcissa so you can drop the act. Your words don’t seem to
hold as much weight as they once did… curious, isn’t it?” He said flatly. “Tell me… did you ever love me
at all?”
As Narcissa cackled wildly in her cage and shook her head in disgust at the man before her, a voice
rang out from above.
“That is not why we are here, Leopold.”
Leopold glanced over his shoulder in the direction of the voice above and sighed lightly.
“You know full well what the prerogatives of this investigation are the information that we seek. Stick to
what was agreed.” the ancient voice continued sternly.
“Very well.” He nodded in resignation as a small voice piped up from Ada’s cage.
“Father, please. Don’t do this. We don’t deserve this. You’ve got it all wrong.” She pleaded miserably
from her hunched position on the floor.
Leopold glanced across at her and seeing her in this state clearly caused him great pain. After all, he
had raised her all these years as his own daughter, with no reason to believe that she was not. The
only doubts that had ever been voiced were from certain members of the nobility who questioned her
lack of wolf. Regrettably, those voices had long since been silenced.
“Ada, I have no choice, you have both brought this upon yourselves, and please… refrain from calling
me father, as it remains clear that although I have raised you, biologically you are not of my blood.”
The muffled sobs of Ada filled the room as she hung her head in despair.
“Whether you knew it or not, not only did you seek to destroy the relationship between myself and my
blood daughter you also destroyed the bond of the moon-blessed fated pairing between Ann and Brad.
I am yet to discover just how much you actually knew about your mother’s deceit over the years and
whether or not either of you was responsible for the severing of my own fated pairing.” He spat
furiously.
The room descended into a heavy silence, the only sound was that of Leopold’s furious breathing
rippling through the air until Narcissa’s wild giggling began again.
“You really are pathetic Leopold. All these fanciful charges and you dare to think you can prise a
confession out of me?” Narcissa laughed again, “You’re delusional. You always have been.”
“Did you sever the bond between myself and my fated mate, Narcissa?” Leopold growled as Narcissa
continued her manic giggling. “Perhaps you should look deep inside yourself and ask why it is that your
wolf has disappeared from your consciousness, and left you helpless for so many years!” Narcissa
hissed furiously, throwing herself against the side of the cage suddenly, her nails d ragging down the
glass as she glowered at him furiously.
A low murmur rippled around the ranks above, punctuated by shocked gasps at Narcissa’s words and
all Leopold could do was seethe quietly.
“You’re all alone, Leopold.” Narcissa laughed, “Weak, abandoned, broken… why, even your wolf has
deserted you!” Narcissa was clearly reveling in the discomfort that he was suffering and Leopold’s fists
clenched at his side.
“Enough. Answer the question, Narcissa.” He growled through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing
dangerously.
She paused and frowned at the change in his eyes, peering intently through one of the glass part*itions
as she pressed her nose up against it. Leopold glared fiercely back at her, feeling his fury grow the
longer she stared.
“Narcissa, this is your last chance. Don’t make me do something that I don’t want to do.”
She seemed to come back to her senses at his words and leaned back with a sly grin.
“Why should I change the habit of a lifetime, dearest?” she t*ittered, “I’ve been making you do things
that you didn’t want to for years. If you had been stronger and not so focused on your human urges,
then you could have resisted, but you men are all the same.” She grinned. “There is nothing in this
world that you can do to make me tell you anything.”
Leopold growled loudly, the vibrations rippling through the room as he struggled with his anger.
“Then you leave me no choice Narcissa…” he said darkly as he straightened himself up and squared
his shoulders, “By the goddess-given power invested in me through my bloodline, endowed and
recognized by the Royal Elder Council, I, Leopold Veritas command you to speak only the truth whilst
you remain within the boundaries of this Kingdom.”
Ann turned to Adam with her eyes wide, and he met her gaze with the barest trace of shock.
It wasn’t common knowledge that the royal line held innate abilities unique to their bloodline and
passed down through the generations to each of their children. Now it made perfect sense as to why
the Elder Council had insisted that her father presides over the hearing.
Ann wouldn’t yet come into her own abilities until she had been formally inaugurated as the reigning
Alpha Queen. Her father was the only person of royal blood who could forcibly command Narcissa to
speak the truth.
Ann knew a little of the abilities her father held, only through her own extensive private tutoring that she
had been f*orc*ed to endure as a child when she was confined to the walls of the palace.
She couldn’t recall a time in history when the royal commands had ever been used on others in the
presence of people outside of the royal circle. It was one of their greatest kept secrets. This was an
incredible occurrence for Adam, Allen, and Lexi most of all, to witness this in person.
It went someway to quelling her fury at the evasiveness of Narcissa though. With his use of that
command, there was no possible way that Narcissa could talk her way out of questioning now and Ann
was more than ready to hear the truth of what had been happening all these years.
