Chapter 68 Apology Not Accepted

“Don’t tease me, Adam. Those wolves are just spoiled and sometimes maybe all it

takes is a reminder of just how privileged they are to have such a stable and

prosperous Pack.”

Adam chuckled softly.

“You know, I am sorry for my out-of-character behavior today. I’m not sure what’s

gotten into me.” Adam said as he looked at her seriously.

Ann smiled back at him as she raised the glassto her lips and took a sip of the biting

red liquid within.

“It’s fine Adam. Sometimes all it takes is a little rea*s*surance. This morning was

unsettling and you’ve known that things were going to come to head for days…

otherwise why else would we have paid a visit to Lexi and her father?” Ann smiled

wryly at him.

Adam snorted. She had a good point.

This was probably the first time that his normally unshakeable grip on the leadership

of the Pack had been threatened. Maybe Ann was right. It was plausible that this was

the reason he had been so unsettled.

A comfortable silence settled over them as they watched the sun disappear beneath

the skyline and dusk descended across the night sky.

“Adam? Do you think Esmerelda and Narcissa are working together?” Ann suddenly

asked with a thoughtful expression on her face.

Adam looked across at her slowly, uncertain of how to respond.

“I know it seems far-fetched, but, with what we know already and then the appearance

of yet another dark witch…doesn’t it all seem a bit much to be just a coincidence?”

Adam opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by the ominous ringtone of Ann’s

mobile phone.

Ann glanced at the name flashing on the caller ID and rolled her eyes, sighing heavily.

“Speak of the devil and she will appear…” she muttered under her breath bitterly as

she reached for her phone.

Adam extended his arm quickly and placed a hand on hers as he looked at her

meaningfully.

“You don’t have to answer that, Ann, you can just ignore it you know.” He said softly.

Ann laughed bitterly.

“You’re right, I could. But don’t I at least need to keep some sort of contact with them

so that we have an idea of their next moves?”

Adam grimaced unhappioy as she answered the call and sat back sullenly in his chair,

frowning as she spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.

“What do you want, Ada?” Ann intoned emotionlessly as she narrowed her eyes.

“Now now sister, that’s not very friendly,” Ada answered jovially.

“That’s because we aren’t friends. Don’t waste my time, we both know this general Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

chit-chat and biting back and forth has no meaning. Get to the point.” Ann snapped as

Adam hid a smile.

“Well, if that’s how it’s going to be I’m not sure I should have called at all..” Ann

whined, her shrill tones loud enough for even Adam to hear.

“Fine, I’m hanging up then, Ada,” Ann answered impassively.

“No, wait!” Ada said quickly before sighing heavily and continuing. “Look, I’m not very

good at this okay?”

“Really? Something else you aren’t very good at? The list grows longer by the day…”

“Ann, please. I’m trying okay? I wanted to apologize…” “Apology NOT accepted. Have

a nice life…”

“Ann, please! At least let me apologize in person to you. Don’t you want to at least try

to be reconciled? We are family after all, and you’re going to have a niece or a

nephew..”

“That bastard child of yours is no relation to me whatsoever. We are not related by

blood and I don’t claim you as my sister Ada, I never will. At one point I would have

forgiven and forgotten..but not now…” Ann hissed viciously, half regretting directing

her anger towards the unborn child, but she couldn’t help herself.

The child’s mere existence was just lasting proof of her mate’s betrayal, although it

didn’t hurt as much as it once had.

“Ann whatever I and Brad have done to you, our child is innocent in all of

this..please…you are still family through marriage..” Ada pleaded, the desperation in

her voice making Ann feel guilty for the briefest of seconds before she pushed it away.

“Ada, if the child wants to have contact with me when it is old enough to make that

decision then I will welcome it with open arms..despite its parent’s failings. However, I

will not have anything to do with you, your soon-to-be husband or your b*tch of a

mother. Am I clear?”

“Ann…” Ada pleaded despairingly.

“Stop calling me, Ada. I have nothing to say to you. I hope you and Brad have a happy

future together.”

With that, Ann hung the call up and threw the phone on the table in front of her with a

look of disgust on her face. “Nicely done..” Adam said with a smirk.

Ann snorted as she glared off angrily into the distance and her fury rolled off her in

waves.

Adam smiled to himself as he drank in the sight of her. She was magnificent in her

fury as Maeve danced in her eyes.

He longed to share the bond with his wolf that Ann shared with Maeve but he was fully

aware that it may never happen, yet, in Ann’s presence, he could feel the faint

stirrings of the beast within him and it excited him. “In response to your earlier

question before we were so rudely interrupted…I don’t know. It’s plausible that they

are somehow known to each other. I’ll see if I can find out in my interrogations.” Adam

said casually, wanting to redirect Ann’s attention.

The thought that she might still have feelings for Brad irritated him more than he liked

to admit and all he could do was ensure that she was too busy and focused on him, to

make sure that she forgot about that loser. Ann turned to him with a concerned

expression. “Are you interrogating her alone?”

“Yes, but I’ll be prepared, don’t worry. I intend to go there with a list of information that

I want to know more about.”

Ann nodded slowly and stifled a yawn,

“Come on, let’s call it a night. Tonight has been… eventful to say the least.”

“Oh, you’re actually planning on allowing me to sleep then?” Ann scoffed teasingly.

“Not just yet, my Luna…I intend to fill you with my s*eed until you from

exhaustion.” Adam growled heatedly as Ann’s eyes widened in horror.

Was this man ever going to be satisfied?!
