Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 102 You Tempted the Beast

Adam was as confused about things as Ann was.

As much as he tried to communicate with his wolf during and after the incident, his wolf struggled to

answer him… or maybe he didn’t want to answer him.

Title of the document

Whatever it was, Adam knew that he had gone too far. It had never reached a point between them

where Ann actually wanted to escape from him, usually, it was a l*st-filled back and forth between them

both that consisted of her wanting to be dominated and Adam showing her just how well he could

please her.

He had meant for it to be a little rough, perhaps a little brutal too because she loved it when it was

rough, but he was genuinely worried that the sudden emergence of his wolf and the brutality in which

he took her was too much, even for Ann.

He was terrified that she would leave him…

That she would never look at him again with those beautiful eyes filled with l*st… the gaze that would

make him destroy everything in his path just to bury himself balls deep in between her legs.

What if he had ruined everything between them?

Standing at the bathroom door he could hear the shower running, but there was no other noise inside.

He was grateful at least that he hadn’t reduced her to tears.

Adam ran his fingers through his hair in frustration with himself as he paced anxiously, waiting for her to

emerge.

Eventually, she did, opening the door abruptly and striding purposefully toward the dressing room whilst

ignoring his presence completely.

“Ann…” Adam pleaded quietly, his voice hoarse and cracking a little as he spoke her name, “Let me

explain II

“There’s no need, Adam. Wash up and get yourself to your meeting. I have things to do as well.” Ann

answered coolly, not even bothering to turn and look at him.

He stood uncertainly in place as he stared hopelessly at her rigid back, unsure whether or not he

should at least try to make her listen to him, or if he should leave her alone.

Ann made that decision for him as she swept her hair up into a loose ponytail, grabbed her handbag,

keys, and purse from the side, and punched a series of numbers into her phone.

Adam watched with mixed emotions as she swept past him without a second glance, his eyes following

her every movement as his heart sank.

“Hey, Lexi! I’m sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you. I…yes I know, I’m sorry. Are you free now?”

Ann paused at the doorway as she finally turned to look back at Adam, and the hesitance and hurt in

her eyes as she briefly locked eyes with him felt as though it shattered his heart into a million pieces.

He had hurt her.

The last thing that he had ever wanted to do was to hurt her.

“Sure, let’s meet for coffee, I’ll head over now.” She spoke into her phone with a forced smile before

saying her goodbyes and hanging up.

“Ann, wait… please… I’m sorry.” Adam said hurriedly as he approached her and tried to wrap his arms

around her.

But Ann stepped back out of his reach quickly and put a hand on his chest to stop him.

“I don’t want to talk about this right now Adam.” She spat angrily, “I’m going to see Lexi and clear my

head a little. You know you took it too far, whether it was your wolf or you… he is as much a part of you

as you are him. I need to process how I feel about this.”

She could see the hurt in his eyes at her rejection of his affection and was flooded with a sense of guilt,

but she didn’t change her mind. She couldn’t.

“I’ll be back later. I’ll message you and let you know when.” She continued coolly as she placed her

phone in her handbag and stalked away leaving Adam alone in their bedroom.

Ann made her way through the pack house, greeting people she passed as normal. Whatever had

happened between her and Adam, she was still their Luna and she wouldn’t be the first woman that

had been mistreated at the hands of the man they loved.

She would never let it impact the way that she treated or regarded her pack members.

But it didn’t mean that Ann had to take the mistreatment lying down.

She had watched her own mother let things slide in the early days of her father’s indiscretions, and she

had done nothing to stop it.

Sure, she had been angry and hurt by it, but her mother had trusted that it would all work out in the

end, that it was a simple mistake and that the supposedly infallible mate bond would prevail in the

end…

Ann snorted to herself.

If even your goddess-blessed fated mate wasn’t devoted enough to safeguard your well-being, then a

contracted mate couldn’t possibly be any worse.

She considered herself lucky that she wouldn’t have to contend with the one-sided, ever-

understanding, and always-forgiving unfairness of the mate bond interfering with the rational decision-

making that she needed to do.

Ann inhaled the fresh air deeply as she stepped out of the front door and trotted down the steps

towards her car with Maeve whining softly in her head.

‘We’ll go for a run soon, Maeve. I know I’ve neglected you recently with that. It will do us both good to

run free for a little while.’

Maeve snorted lightly as the car door closed behind them and Ann settled into the driver’s seat.

‘I’d much rather you try to understand what happened back there.’

‘I don’t need to understand anything, Maeve, I know exactly what happened back there. I asked him to

stop because it was too much and he continued regardless.’ Ann snapped.

‘So you tempted the beast and didn’t like it when he answered?’ Maeve scoffed, ‘Really Ann, when did

you revert back into the precious little princess that was incapable of defending herself?’

‘I have NEVER been incapable of defending myself…’

‘You could have fooled me.’ Maeve snapped sarcastically.

‘Then what would you call this, Maeve? I’m not standing for being treated like that, it’s…’
