Chapter 185 A New Era

Ann smiled tightly as Alpha Felix surveyed the chaotic scene behind her with interest.

He was a good-looking man, with stern yet handsome features and powerfully built.

His Luna stood next to him, a welcoming and friendly face surrounded by a mass of

black, messy curls that gave her a slightly wild look as she eyed the furor warily.

“My apologies, I had hoped to have this resolved before you arrived.” Ann offered with

a small smile. Felix chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.

“You run your kingdom as you see fit, my Queen. Justice cannot wait for such a

heinous crime in my opinion. You have acted as befits the royal line, there is o need

for apologies.” He said before crossing his arm across his chest and bowing

respectfully, his wife and the men behind him following his example.

“It is a pleasure to be here your grace, regardless of circumstances. Thank you for

receiving us.” He continued as he stood upright and beamed widely as he gestured to

his wife, “This is Aoife, the light of my life, my very reason for breathing, and also my

Luna.”

Aoife rolled her eyes and snorted, blushing heavily. “Really Felix? In front of royalty?”

she murmured with the barest trace of irritation in her voice as she smiled

apologetically at Ann.

‘Aww, cute! She’s so tiny!’ Maeve gushed, ‘Can we keep her?’

‘Maeve… I actually have no words for you. You want to turn our diplomatic guests into

pets… what the actual f”k is wrong with you?’ Ann snapped incredulously.

‘But look how tiny she is! I bet their pups are going to be adorable… a big strong

Alpha like that with teeny little pups between them…’

‘Honestly, Maeve, the speed at which you switch between murderous rage, sassy

queen and squealing like a child at Disneyland astounds me…’ Ann groaned inwardly.

“Welcome to the Enclave, all of you.” Adam said, his voice interrupting her dialogue

with Maeve as he stepped forward and offered his hand to Felix, “I’m Adam, Queen

Ann’s Consort.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Felix answered with a grin, taking his hand and shaking

it firmly as they exchanged a mysterious look between them.

Ann narrowed he eyes slightly as she watched the interaction between them both. If

she didn’t know better, she would think that these two already knew each other in

some way.

“We’ll have the guards escort you to your rooms so that you can freshen up before

dinner. I’m sure you all must be famished.” Bartholomew said warmly as he moved to

stand to the side of Ann, making sure he was positioned slightly behind as befitting a

member of the Royal Enclave.

“That would be wonderful, thank you” Felix answered, inclining his head gratefully

before allowing himself to be led away to their rooms.

Not a single member of the Elders had moved an inch or uttered a word as the

exchange between Ann and Felix had continued. Ann sighed quietly as she turned to

face them.

“You can proceed with your evening as you had originally planned. I expect you in

attendance for the meal as a show of respect to Alpha Felix, regardless of what has

happened here tonight. Bartholomew will schedule a meeting tomorrow morning so

that I can present the evidence to you of Elder Linus’s crimes. I sincerely hope that

this will be the last time that I have to call out one of my own so publicly, because of

their conduct. Am I clear?”

The elders chorused their assent before turning and filing orderly away to attend to

whatever they needed to before they reconvened for the meal.

“Nicely done your highness,” Bartholomew said quietly, his eyes twinkling with

approval.

“I don’t know about that.” Ann grumbled, “It’s not exactly the welcome that’s expected

now is it?” “Well, if anything he will know that you are indeed serious about justice for

all those that reside in your kingdom

and that no one is untouchable. I have a feeling that you’re going to make quite the

name for yourself as Alpha Queen.” Bartholomew chuckled.

‘Even more so when we get my regal portrait with a shiny crown hanging front and

center above the staircase there.’ Maeve smirked as Ann cast her eyes across to the

half-landing that sat between the ground floor and first floor, and groaned loudly.

‘You are not getting a portrait, Maeve. That’s absurd.’ She muttered loud enough for

both Bartholomew and Adam to hear.

Their barely suppressed smiles irritated Ann a little.
