Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 189 Elder Cornelius

Adam had returned to the room shortly after Eva and Coral left and found himself confronted with his
beautiful wife focusing intently on the phone in front of her.

He pushed his hands further into his pocket and readjusted himself as he leaned against the
doorframe. She was stunning in every way, even focused so intently on whatever she was doing, he
just wanted to pepper her neck with kisses and hear her moan underneath him again. It had taken an
incredible amount of self-control not to ravage her last night.

His instincts told him that they both needed the release that being together would bring, but he was
also acutely aware that when it came to their intimacy, they were both anything but quiet.

There would be nothing holding them back tonight though.

He allowed himself to indulge a little longer, drinking in the sight of her and storing it away in his mind to
recall at his convenience before he cleared his throat and she looked up at him with a sultry smile on
her face.

“Are you ready for dealing with the Elders, my Queen?” he asked with a smirk, “I’ve already spoken
with Allen and as soon as he has any information, he’ll let me know.”

Ann nodded.

“I’m ready.”

When they swept into the Enclave’s a*s*sembly chambers a hush fell over the Elders as they stood
and inclined their heads in her direction.



She took her seat in the central high-backed chair and Adam took his seat next to her. She suppressed
a grimace at the feel of the unforgiving hardwood against her skin, knowing full well that the longer she
sat in this chair, the more uncomfortable she would be.

She adjusted her position slightly and smiled tightly at the Elders in front of her, finding Bartholomew
almost instantly as he sat amongst the first row as one of the Senior Elders.

The speaker at the side of the room began to list off the issues set to be discussed and at the end of
the list, asked a generalized question that no one ever really expected anyone to answer.

But as soon as he asked if there was any more business for the day, Ann raised her voice imperiously.
“Yes, actually. I believe that the issue of Elder Linus should be discussed today.” A low murmur rippled
around the room before a voice rose from the row. “I’m sure that can wait until tomorrow, my Queen.
He is safely held in the holding cells and there’s little chance of any repeat offenses occurring while
he’s down there. It should be added to the schedule for tomorrow.”

“With all due respect, I disagree Elder,” Ann answered cooly as the Elder’s face hardened almost
imperceptibly.

“Then let us settle this in the traditional way, my Queen.” the elder bit out, his impatience clear in his
voice. Ann smiled and nodded, indicating her approval.

She knew that this would be pushed back, but it didn’t matter. Another day of delays meant another 24
hours to gather evidence and dig up information about Elder Linus.

The majority of female Elders in the room sided with Ann and felt that the issue needed discussing
immediately, but the vote fell in favor of the irritated Elder who couldn’t help the smug smile that settled
on his face when it was written onto the agenda for the following day.

As he moved to take his seat, Ann spoke again.



“I wouldn’t sit just yet, Elder…?” Ann asked, leaving the question open so that he understood he was to
introduce himself.

“Elder Cornelius, your Grace.” He answered curtly.

“Ah, Elder Cornelius. Very good.” Ann answered with a smile that didn’t quite meet her eyes, “Well,
seeing as how you seem to have appointed yourself as the spokesperson for the Elders in attendance
here today, I have another issue that I wish to bring up.”

Cornelius sighed quite audibly which led to an exchange of uneasy glances between some of the
Elders that surrounded him.

“Can your issues not wait, your highness? I understand that you are new at your posting and vastly
inexperienced, yet there are proper channels that everything should go through.”

“Is that so?” Ann asked in mild amusement as she allowed Cornelius to continue. “It might have
escaped your notice, but we have a very meticulous way of doing things around here so that urgent
issues are discussed quickly and are not lost in the system.” He replied pompously. “Ah, so there are
never any missives that are missed?” Ann asked lightly. “Absolutely not!” Cornelius answered in a
horrified tone. “To even suggest…” “Every incident that occurs within the kingdom is discussed fairly
and resolutions and actions approved or dismissed by the council and ruling body?”

Cornelius openly scoffed at Ann as she smiled benignly and the faintest growl emanated from where
Adam sat beside her.

“My Queen, the fact you are asking these very basic questions concerns me greatly. Perhaps we acted
too soon in installing you to the position…”

“Ah, so your lack of action on issues that occurred before I was installed, is somehow my fault?” Ann
asked smoothly as she examined her fingernails closely before fixing him with a steely glare.



“I beg your pardon?” He asked as an expression of confusion fell over his face.

“Well, you see, I’m just trying to understand something here Cornelius. You’re telling me that everything
is discussed in this very room. Every issue that arises is put through the proper channels and heard,
and discussed by the ruling party, and the Elders a*s*sembled here today.”

“It’s very simple your highness…” He scoffed, the irritation creeping back into his voice, but Ann cut him
off before he got any further.

“I would be very careful in how you speak to me, Cornelius. Whether you approve of me in this position
or not, I AM the current ruling Alpha Queen and you will show the proper respect and decorum in my
presence, do I make myself clear?” Ann warned lowly.

Cornelius swallowed audibly and with great difficulty managed to school his face into an expression of
neutrality.

“My apologies, my Queen.”

“Apology accepted. Now, if you’ll be so good as to explain to me why then, with all of these time-
honored traditions and ways of doing things, that the villages along our borders have been deserted
and rogues allowed to run rampant and overtake these border towns?”

Cornelius visibly paled as he realized that he had allowed himself to talk himself into a hole that was
going to be exceedingly difficult to dig his way out of.

“I… I’m not sure what you mean, your grace.” He answered tremulously.

“Well, I believe I was perfectly clear in my delivery of the information actually, so I won’t repeat it. Time
being so precious to you all as it is. However, it should interest you to know that your neglect in this



matter has led to the murder of several of our subjects. Who now hang from the defensive walls of their
former towns.” Ann hissed, her voice getting louder the longer she spoke, until finally, she exploded.

“There are children, mere pups hanging by the neck, bodies mutilated beyond identification, along
those walls! I want to understand how all of you have allowed this to happen while in the positions that
you hold with these perfect, time-honored methods that you have so dutifully just explained to me!” She
roared, allowing Maeve to push forward and release her terrifying aura amongst the elders.
