Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 112 Brad’s Decision
Ada watched her mother walk away with an empty feeling inside of her heart. This was for her future, and her baby’s. That was all that mattered. With a deep breath and a quick glance at the spot where Ann was held, she pulled the phone from her pocket and punched in a set of numbers.
It rang a few times as Ada began to pace nervously, her stomach in knots. Finally, he answered.
“What do you want, Ada?” Brad’s cold emotionless voice rasped through the phone.
Ada swallowed the lump in her throat and f*orc*ed a sickly sweet smile onto her face, hoping it would take away the tremor from her voice.
“Are we not past this yet, Brad? Don’t you want to do this with civility at least?” She crooned.
“Never. I will never forgive you for whatever it was that you did to me that made me…” he answered almost instantly before he was cut off abruptly by Ada’s derisive snort.
“Oh shut up, Brad.” She snapped in irritation, “You made the choice to f*uc*k me, it was your decision every single time. Do you really think that I can f*orc*e you to stick your d*ic*k inside of me? No. You just refuse to admit that you l*sted after me because you are ashamed of your weakness. You can’t deny that at one point, I was the only thing that you thought about, the only thing that you craved even when you were with your precious fated mate. It isn’t my fault that only now you’re regretting your actions.”
Silence greeted her on the other end of the phone and Ada sighed internally.
At least when her mother got her hands on him, she wouldn’t have to go through this continual back and forth between them and she would finally be free of the intricate web of lies that had been constructed around them.
First, though, she needed to persuade him to come here willingly, and there was only one way that she would be able to accomplish that.
“Look, I know you have a lot of regrets. I also know that you want the opportunity to talk to Ann, but she’s been avoiding you despite your best efforts. I thought you would want to know that Ann is here at the palace right now. If you wanted to talk to her, I would say that now is the perfect time to have her listen to what you have to say.” Ada said in a softer tone with a coaxing edge to it. She couldn’t help but smirk to herself though, as she glanced through the viewing window at Ann’s figure again, but her c*oc*ky expression froze in place as she noticed Ann’s eyes flicker slightly.
How could she be waking up already? There was enough sedative in her system to floor even a daemon lord. She should have been out for the count for the next few hours at least.
She really didn’t have much time at all if the sedative was wearing off and would have to make a concerted effort to really get things moving quickly.
“Listen, if you don’t think it’s worth your time Brad then don’t bother coming. I was just trying to help honestly.” Ada snapped, a little harsher than she had intended, before softening her tone again, “Think of it as a peace offering if you will. I don’t want us to be at each other’s throats… it won’t be good for the baby when it’s born.” she coaxed.
She could almost feel his resolve wavering as he considered her words.
Ada knew that his wolf would only surface whenever there was anything to do with Ann because he craved her attention and was desperate to make it right. He had never truly given up on rekindling the mate bond which Ada found both infuriating and pathetic.
She snorted internally. He was weak, nothing at all like she had originally imagined. What sort of Alpha Male pined over a female? Was this how it was with all wolves once they find their mate?
It was pathetic in her opinion. At least his desperation would make getting Brad here easier… at least she hoped it would.
After what seemed like an eternity had passed he finally sighed.
“Okay, fine.”
Ada almost punched the air in jubilation.
“You’ll come and see her then?” She asked as casually as she could manage.
“Yes, I’ll come… but it’s purely so that my wolf can see, Ann. I’m warning you now, Ada, if there’s any f*uc*kery on your part, I’m going to make you regret it, pregnant or not.” Brad snarled down the phone reluctantly.
Ada blinked in surprise.
“You’re threatening your baby now, Brad? When did you become so heartless?”
“Don’t twist my words, I won’t harm the baby but that doesn’t mean that I can’t make your life even more difficult than it already is.”
Ada snorted.
“Oh please… I’m already confined to the castle and hated by millions, how much worse can it get?”
“You have no idea…” Brad hissed as he hung up abruptly.
Ada swallowed nervously and stared at the phone in her hand. There had been a dangerous edge to his voice when he had delivered his threat. Would he really not harm their unborn child?
Before she could ponder this further though, a small groan could be heard from the direction of Ann’s cell.
Ada looked across sharply and sneered as she approached the window.
His words didn’t matter anyway, he would be dead soon enough and it would be one less complication out of the way. Things could have been so different if it wasn’t for this naive little b*tch in front of her.
Ada tapped at the glass lightly at first and then louder until she got a response and smiled widely as she watched.
Ann lifed her head groggily and her eyes widened in fear as they came into focus as she looked around the cell desperately.
“What the… Hello?” Ann called out tentatively as the sound of insistent tapping coming from somewhere in front of her reached her ears.
The only noise that answered her though was the familiar mocking laughter of her sister.
