Chapter 134 A Female Alpha

Narcissa seemed to have reached the point where she no longer bothered to fight the

inevitable and she leaned backward in her position on the floor in a relaxed manner as

she tilted her chin arrogantly and chuckled.

“So much to divulge, yet where do I even begin?” She chuckled quietly to herself.

“The Coven. What are your plans and who do you serve?” Leopold said icily, a dark

cloud seemed to have settled over his face as he glared at the woman he had once

called his wife.

She grinned back at him and sighed dramatically.

“The Excidium Coven answers to Daemon Lord Eromaug, his power is like nothing

you’ve ever seen before. We want nothing more than to rise once again, and have our

ranks swell as we are returned to our rightful place as rulers of this Kingdom!” She

answered, her passionate devotion for her master clear in the vehemence with which

she spoke.

Lexi snorted and sat back in her chair heavily, almost in disbelief.

“That little prick managed to get a foothold here?” she whispered almost incredulously

as she shook her head in disbelief. She was quickly silenced by a fierce glare from

Allen and she rolled her eyes as she listened intently to what else Narcissa was

forced to reveal.

“Go on..” Leopold said as faint whispers could be heard from above. “We were sent

out years ago, to work our way into positions of power and claw our way to the top.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, my brothers and sisters are everywhere

and none of you will realize it until it’s too late. If you don’t believe me, just ask Alpha

Nocturne over there… he’s been decidedly quiet regarding the imprisonment of

Tomas, don’t you think? Incredible how none of you asked any questions regarding

the absence of an Elder who was formerly held in high esteem.” She cackled happily

as she reveled in the gasps of outrage that sounded from the Elders above.

She waited for them to quieten down as she commented sadly.

“Such a pity that Esmerelda failed… it works to my benefit though. At least I was not

the first to fail.” Ann glanced across at Adam and saw that his face had almost frozen

in a stony expression, and with a quick glance at Alien’s face, she could see that his

expression mirrored Adam’s. She frowned lightly and wondered what exactly had

happened to Tomas, if anything, and resolved to ask them when this ordeal was over

and done with.

“So essentially you’re going to aim for world domination like a delusional villain… am I

right?” Lexi snorted as she bounced her knee in agitation. “Could you not come up

with anything more original?”

Narcissa’s head whipped around and she narrowed her eyes dangerously as she

glared in Lexi’s direction before laughing lightly.

“Ironic that the forbidden spawn of a witch and a notorious Daemon Lord sits freely

here under the court’s protection, don’t you think?” she spat.

“Their race! You keep my mother’s memory out of your twisted little mouth!” Lexi

fumed against the backdrop of Narcissa’s peals of laughter.

“That’s enough, Lexi,” Leopold said softly, yet the rare sternness of his words instantly

stopped Lexi in her tracks and she sat back with a murderous glare directed straight

at Narcissa.

“You’re no different than us,” Narcissa sneered, “Consorting with Daemons and using

them to your own advantage… yet you have the audacity to judge us…”

“So your Daemon lord instructed your coven on their actions. I understand. Now, tell

me every scheme and move you made from the moment that you entered the palace.

Leave no detail out.” Leopold interrupted.

Narcissa’s mouth twisted into a poisonous smile.

“If you want me to be honest with you, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to get under

your skin. You were weak, insecure…” She trailed off as she scratched her face

thoughtfully.

“I thought that poisoning your ex-wife and coaxing you into rejecting her would have

been far harder than it actually was, yet no sooner did you realize that she was

becoming weaker by the day, did you seek the easiest way to reject her, and trade her

for a stronger mate.”

Narcissa’s face seemed to light up with joy at the look of horror on Leopold’s face.

“Don’t pretend you didn’t know. I was careful with the amount I slipped into her food

and drink at first, but as soon as I saw your distaste at the thought of having a weak

mate and your lack of interest in finding out what was actually wrong with her, I

decided to move things forward a little quicker than I had originally planned. The only

problem I had was when your wolf would take control of you against your will… he

nearly succeeded in k*il*ling me quite a few times as I slept!” she t*ittered as if

recalling a fond memory.

“Even when you rejected her, he hated you for it and fought me every step of the way.

It wasn’t until I k*il*led her that something seemed to snap inside of him and gradually,

the enchantments I wove managed to suppress him. It was the same for Ann. Her wolf

was something else, even at a young age, and although Ann couldn’t feel her yet… I

could sense her volatility and her hatred so I made sure that she was suppressed with

an enchantment reserved for only the most dangerous of enemies. I couldn’t risk her

ruining everything that I had worked so hard for when she came of age and was

granted her first transformation.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Maeve’s growl rippled from Ann’s chest and spread throughout the room, making even

the Elder’s hair stand on end and filling them with a desire to placate the fury of the

wolf that raged in any possible way that they could.

“See?” Narcissa chuckled, “A female Alpha. Not only incredibly rare but also incredibly

dangerous. I did attempt to win her over to my side but when I saw the hatred

reflected in both the girl and the beast within, I didn’t really have a choice. She would

have been a powerful ally.” Narcissa said almost regretfully.

Leopold stood silently for a few moments in front of her cell as his fists balled at his

side, his anger palpable. “I think we have heard everything that we need to.” An

ancient voice sounded tremulously from above. “I’m not finished…” Leopold growled

out furiously as he turned and glared up at the council above. “You may not be… but

we have heard all that we need to in order to make a decision. We will retire briefly to

the inner sanctum and discuss our recommendations for judgment, although I am

almost certain what fate awaits her.”

“And what of Ada? You still haven’t heard from her…” Leopold protested indignantly.

“It is glaringly obvious that she is complicit in the crimes of her mother. Judgment will

be passed accordingly.” A female voice answered above the sound of the Elders

beginning to leave the area above, irrespective of the King’s wishes. Ann could do

nothing but watch and wait, but she shared her father’s frustration. There was more

that she wanted to know. Now that her fury had risen to match Maeve’s, she was filled

with the desire to question them both on her own terms, and enact judgment herself.

If Maeve had any say in the matter then her death would be as painful and as slow as

possible.

The gentle squeeze of Adam’s hand on her own did little to soothe her raging spirit,

and it was clear that Lexi’s feelings mirrored her own.

But, when it came down to it, the decision was out of their hands. All they could do

was wait.
