Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 133 Who is Adas True Father?

Narcissa’s eyes widened in terror for the briefest of seconds before her body froze and seemed to go

rigid for a few moments as the color drained from her face and her eyes seemed to glaze over. Once

she had regained her composure, her mouth split into that all too familiar disdainful sneer as she spat

on the glass in front of her.

“You insufferable bastard. All this time you had abilities that you never told me about, and you dare to

use them on me?! How is this different from the use of magic?!”

Leopold didn’t reply, instead staring at her intently with an expression of deep thought on his face.

“Were you responsible for weakening and eventually severing the bond with my former wife?” Leopold

asked levelly, with no trace of emotion in his voice anymore.

If anything he now seemed completely resigned to the process of discovering the truth, however ugly it

might be. It was obvious that Narcissa was trying her best to fight the forces that compelled her to

answer, but the more time that passed without her answer, the more that Leopold’s royal command

seemed to affect her.

As the seconds ticked by it seemed as though her body was being wracked with more and more

intense pain. Her grunts and rapid flushing of her face as she clawed at the side of her head gave way

into m*oa*ns of discomfort and eventually escalated to the occasional wail.

“It will be far less painful if you just answer the questions Narcissa. The longer you delay, the more it

will hurt.” Leopold intoned flatly as she fell to the floor in agony.

She writhed in pain momentarily before reluctantly and with a roar of fury, her lips parted and she

spoke. “Yes, you disgusting piece of s**t! I masked your bond with your pathetic mate, weakening it

until it became almost unnoticeable to you, but I did not sever it. You did that when you rejected her.”

Narcissa hissed furiously, her eyes signaling just how much damage she wished to inflict on Leopold at

that moment in time.

“How is it that you managed to ensnare me in the first place? Did you engineer that too or was it simply,

as you so eloquently put it, the weakness of the human male’s urges?” Leopold pressed emotionlessly.

Narcissa pushed herself up into a sitting position as she glared furiously at him.

“Through magic of course… all reinforced with hidden enchantments and a healthy dose of succubus

pheromones to force you to act on your darkest desires.” She smirked unrepentantly, clearly proud of

her accomplishments although she had ultimately failed in whatever her goal had been.

Lexi gasped involuntarily and covered her mouth with her hand as she leaned forward and focused

intently on the words she had spoken.

Leopold hesitated slightly before he spoke again and Ann could almost feel the palpable tension in the

room rise as they waited.

“Who is Ada’s true father,” Leopold asked as a murmur of discontent rippled above them from where

the Elders were seated. He knew he was pushing it with this question, but he had to know for sure

whether or not Ada was truly his. Until he had heard it from Narcissa’s own mouth, he still struggled to

believe the content of some of the statements that had been gathered. Whether or not it was some

residual forces within him left over from the magical control that she had clearly had him under for

some time, he didn’t know, but there was still that nagging feeling within him, wanting him to forgive her

and set them both free. It was taking everything he had in him to fight against the feeling and he

wouldn’t allow it to win. He had lost too much. Narcissa laughed darkly.

“Ada was the product of a night of passion with the incubi gifted to our coven. Why do you think she

has such an easy time getting people to do what she wants?” she smirked.

Leopold’s shoulders dropped slightly and his head hung forward momentarily. It was obvious that her

words had only confirmed what he already knew deep in his heart, but it didn’t stop him from wanting to

grieve for those wasted years. However now was not the time, and he lifted his head with a renewed

look of determination on his face. With her vile enchantments and cunning use of Magick, this woman

had single handedly wormed her way into his life, deceived him, destroyed his family, and ruined his life

and he wanted to know exactly what her motive was.

“Are you working with Daemons? How many of you are there involved in whatever this plot is?”

Leopold asked as he paced slowly in front of the cage.

Narcissa snorted.

beyond even your wildest dreams?” She paused and narrowed her eyes as she c**“d her head to one

side. “You wolves are pathetic. Have you really forgotten everything about my kind and our

capabilities? You attempt to eradicate us and then erase us from the history books?”

Narcissa laughed in disbelief as she shook her head.

“You belong at the bottom of the food chain! All of you! You have no right to be swanning about and

living a life of luxury whilst my brothers and sisters struggle to survive, their immense potential for

power is stifled because of your relentless extermination of them!” She yelled furiously.

“Mother… don’t make things worse for yourself… for us… I…” Ada’s quiet voice piped up from her

cage as Narcissa whirled to face her with a furious expression.

“Shut up, Ada! You’re a failure in every sense of the word! This is all because of you! You’re a disgrace

to every woman who graced my bloodline!” She hissed furiously as Ada flinched at the sound of fury in

her mother’s voice and lowered her head again.

Leopold watched the exchange between the two with a trace of sadness in his eyes but didn’t pass

comment, instead tapping the glass on the cage to refocus Narcissa’s attention.

“I think, perhaps questioning you this way is going to take too much time. Tell me everything. I want to

know what you and your coven have planned, and everything that you have done since the day that

you arrived at the palace.” Leopold said as Narcissa turned to face him once more.

The corners of Ann’s mouth twitched slightly as she watched her father. At this moment, it was as if he

had regained the intimidating and an impressive aura that used to follow him wherever he went. For the

first time in a long time, Ann felt the tiniest spark of pride in the way her father was conducting himself.

It certainly didn’t make up for the years that he had been neglectful, and she would never forgive him

for that, despite not being completely at fault. Nothing would erase the hurt and pain from all those

years of torment that she had endured, but it was a start.
