Adam came to a stop in front of her, so close that their noses almost touched. She could feel his heavy exhalations as he battled with his fury and she sighed, bringing her hands up to rest on his arms. "Listen. We were supposed to be a team... that's what we contracted for. I can't help if I don't know what's going on." The tension in the air was palpable for a few moments, the pressure that hung ominously above them was almost crushing, but with a sigh, it gradually began to dissipate. He turned away abruptly and ran his fingers through his hair angrily. "Your fucking step-sister…" He growled, his tone still furious. Ann laughed darkly, throwing her hands in the air in frustration. "Of course, it is... why didn't I guess? What happened?" Adam sank down on the sofa on the far wall and leaned heavily on the armrest, resting his forehead in the palm of his hand and not speaking for a while. The silence extended between the two of them and when the deadly aura that ripp

"Me, of course. You're the most incredible person I've ever met and I'm truly honored to count you as my friend and chosen sister." "N'aaww. You're way too kind, Ann, however, everything you just said is completely true." 'Tell her she's insufferably arrogant too sometimes...' Maeve offered helpfully as Ann sniggered "Whatever you just said, Maeve… I love you too. Okay, enough chit-chat. It's going to make me soft and we can't have that. I spoke to pappa and he's free to help but there's one tiny problem." Ann's stomach sank. "Lexi, can I put you on speakerphone? It would help if Adam could hear this too." "Sure thing, I don't mind the big bad wolf listening in. It's mostly him that's probably going to have an issue with this anyway." "What am I going to have an issue with exactly?" Adam asked warily. "Ooo! Your voice is even sexier on the phone." Lexi simpered excitedly, "Maeve... please tell me they've..." "Lexi! Please!" Ann interrupted hurriedly as Adam turned t
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 51 It's Fine
It was almost 4 pm when Adam and Ann arrived at Lexi's nondescript little house. Ann knocked and smiled reassuringly at Adam as he looked around at his surroundings dubiously."Are you nervous?" Ann asked with what she hoped was a reassuring smile."No," He answered a little too quickly as Ann squeezed his hand gently.Adam sighed heavily and ran his free hand through his hair again."Okay, maybe a little. I feel like we've been pushed into this…" he started hesitantly before the door was flung open and Lexi's beaming face appeared in the doorway."Bestie!" She shrieked, throwing her arms around Ann and throwing me a wink. "Gosh, it feels like forever since you were here last. Look at you now, bringing a hot hunk of man meat along with you." She sighed dramatically and placed a hand on her chest. "I'm so proud."Ann swatted her on the arm playfully and laughed as she blushed slightly."Behave. You'll scare him away before we've even started."Adam shifted slightly on the spot a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 52 The Daemon Lord
As the haze cleared around the two figures in front of them, Lexi squealed and ran forward, pulling the towering figure into a hug as the man beside him looked on with an impassive expression on his face. "Papa! It feels like it's been forever since I saw you properly!" Lexi squealed as the easily eight-foot-tall figure bent slightly and wrapped his arms around her warmly. "It's good to see you, little one." The man rumbled as Lexi stepped backward and turned to grin at Ann and Adam. "Guys, this is Papa, Papa, this is Adam and Ann." Lexi beamed excitedly. Lexi's father cut a truly imposing figure, broad-shouldered, bulging muscles as far as the eye could see, and an expression that threatened an untimely death as he stared impassively towards Adam and Ann. "Ann, I have heard a lot about you over the years and I would like to thank you for providing Lexi with the stability that I could not give her. My realm would simply not have been safe for a child of mixed blood," Lexi's
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 53 Like Father, Like Daughter
As they stepped through onto the other side of the portal, the cool air was a welcome feeling as a wave of nausea washed over both Ann and Adam. Lexi steadied Ann as her legs wobbled unsteadily and as her father stepped through the portal he chuckled at Adam's suddenly pale face. He clapped him on the back warmly and grinned, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. "You get used to the sensation after a while... although I really wasn't sure how badly it would affect you wolves." He added thoughtfully before snorting. "It could be worse, at least you came through in one piece." Adam stared at him blankly, for once lost for words. "Papa, don't tease them like that. You know it's incredibly rare to end up with missing limbs and besides, that usually happens with inexperienced portalmancers. Steven has been with you for centuries now hasn't he? Sounds like you're questioning his abilities." Lexi giggled as Steven raised an eyebrow. "Oh my goodness, Papa, his face moved!
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 54 A Concealment Curse
"Adam, please. It's not going to go well if you're disrespectful in his home. Imagine how you would react if someone growled at you in your own home. You would be absolutely furious! You were very nearly going to put an end to a longstanding member of your Elder Council for daring to question you. Be reasonable. Please." Ann pleaded softly as she placed a hand on his arm. He seemed to instantly relax and took a moment to school his emotions properly. Ann was right. This could be the first step to securing better relations with at least this realm of Daemons. Who knew what benefits that it might bring his Pack? He couldn't afford to risk ruining this because of his temper. "I'm sorry, Lord Brarthroroz, I'm still a little on edge," Adam said finally with a half bow towards where the Daemon Lord stood. Lord Brarthroroz waved his hand dismissively and shrugged. "It's fine. If it wasn't I would have reacted, but your apology is appreciated non the less. Now, the door to your left
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 55 The Dark Witch
"Have you thought that perhaps the people who murdered your parents wanted to conceal your mate from you so you would be forced to take a chosen mate?" Lexi said suddenly through a mouthful of food as she plonked herself down on a chair next to them. Adam frowned. "But why? Taking a chosen mate isn't a rare occurrence. Sometimes an Alpha doesn't find his true mate and not having an heir weakens the Pack, so it's seen as a necessary evil in most cases." Lexi nodded slowly, as she sat forward and rested her chin on her hands with a thoughtful expression. "True, but have you considered that a concealment curse would be the best fit because they also wanted to conceal the identity of your parent's killers?" Lord Brarthroroz chuckled. "Very clever, Lexi... yes… it's entirely possible. Perhaps the killers intended to have someone of their choosing take a place at your side as a chosen mate. It would make sense. You were present when your parents were killed?" Lord Brarthroroz a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 56 The Unfamiliar Territory
"Not actively... he's tried... but..." Ann tried to explain as she glanced across at Lexi in annoyance and noticed a strange expression on her face as she looked thoughtfully at Adam. Lord Brarthroroz didn't let the conversation go further though as he cleared his throat loudly and spoke. "So a large amount of concealment is going on then, around both Alpha Nocturne and yourself it seems. I must say, this is all very curious. I don't know of any active plots among the renegades that are going on in your realm, and the lords are not willing to move against your realm again." "Do you think we can help them with this too, Papa?" Lexi asked suddenly. "It will require some reconnaissance on my end. I want to know exactly who I'm dealing with. It may be Witches but this has the taint of daemons behind it. There is clearly something more going on here." Lord Brarthroroz frowned. "Can't we just kill the bitches and get on with it?!" Lexi exclaimed suddenly, hitting the side of the
