Chapter 138 The Alpha Queen’s Consort
“I will take this opportunity to thank you all for your attendance in the hearing today,
and wish you well for your journey home. You may leave.” A bored male voice stated
as the air filled with the rustling of the movement from the Elders above.
Lexi turned to Ann in confusion.

“Wait? That’s it? They drop a bomb like that and just f**k off?”
“Lexi! They can still hear you!” Allen hissed furiously.
“Good! Maybe the old f*uc*kers can rethink how they do things if enough people
speak up. Why are you so f*uc*king… submissive, Allen? I thought you Alpha’s and
Beta’s were supposed to be all angst and possessive and S*hi*t..”
“Lexi… that’s enough,” Ann said quietly as she reached for her friend’s hand and
began pulling her out of the courtroom.
No sooner had they had gotten into the car and Allen pulled the door closed behind
them, did Lexi start her interrogation.
“Now that we’re out of earshot of the coffin-dodgers and Allen has zero excuses to try
and shut me up, I have questions.” She said as she leaned towards Ann with interest.
“Can you just be quiet for once? What if Ann and Adam need a little quiet…” Allen
started before Lexi interrupted him with a snort of disbelief.
“And by Ann and Adam, you mean that YOU need a little quiet…” Lexi paused as she
narrowed her eyes and leaned towards him, lowering her voice so that a dangerous
undercurrent ran through it.
“Now you listen here, Beta boy, you can either suck it up and ept that I’m sticking
around whether you like it or not or… you can shove your delicate disposition so far
up your arse that your fragile ego will start to wonder when it got reced by a whiny
little b*itc*h.”
Allen stared at her with his eyes wide in shock and turned to Ann with his mouth
slightly agape.
“Are Maeve and Lexi somehow, in some weird and unexinable way, rted to each
other by any chance?” He asked with an eyebrow quirked.
“She’s the sister I never had but always wanted, so I mean…” Ann smirked as Lexi
clutched her chest in mock emotion.
“Oh my gosh, Ann, that’s so sweet! I didn’t know you cared!” Lexi simpered as she
batted her eyshes at Ann. Ann chuckled at Lexi’s obvious sarcasm.
“Of course, I care about you, Lexi, you should know that more than anyone.”
“I should, you’re absolutely right,” she replied with a thoughtful expression, “I just
guess I was a little confused about the part where you started leaving out major
details like a top secret containment facility for the weird and wonderful.”
Ann’s face fell slightly as Maeveughed loudly. ‘You walked straight into that one…’
‘Yeah, thanks… you’re not helping…’ Ann snapped in reply.
‘I wasn’t trying to. It was merely an observation.’ Maeve grinned.
‘I don’t need your snarkyments pointing out the obvious Maeve, I have eyes, I
can see… and my ears work just fine too.’
‘Well, you know, I just thought I should edge on the side of caution there considering
you thought you knew what you were looking at and ignored us all when we told you
not to when you invited that damn Mimic into the car and…’
Ann grimaced in frustration as she shut the mocking voice of her wolf out.
“Whatever Maeve said, I agree with it,” Lexi said quickly with a smug smile, instantly
recognizing the annoyed look on Ann’s face.
“What is this? Pick on Ann because you have no outlet for the s****l tension between
you and Allen? Don’t think I can’t see it!” Ann replied in annoyance. “It’s ringly
obvious to anyone that watches you two bite each other’s heads off at every goddessgiven
opportunity.”
The horrified look on Allen’s face as he turned to look usingly at Lexi, only seemed
to infuriate her more. “You’re delusional. Stop changing the subject, Ann. Spill it. What
the f“k is this containment facility?” She replied, dismissing herment with a wave
of her hand.
Ann and Lexi glowered at each other for a few minutes before Adam’s voice cut
through the tension like a knife. “She has a point, Ann. I would like to know about this
too. I’ve never heard of such a ce and I’m curious how something like that can exist
without it being talked about, even at an Alpha level.”
Ann sighed heavily and fidgeted with her fingers in front of her.
“Look, I was fully expecting them to execute both of the vile little goblins, but instead
they’re being sent to an unknown facility Ann. Don’t you think, especially considering
everything that Adam went through as a child…” Lexi began before she was cut off
abruptly.
“And as an adult…” Allen interjected as Lexi narrowed her eyes briefly at him before
turning back to Ann.
“Sure, as an adult as well. Don’t you think he deserves to have some peace of mind
about where they’re going to wait out their days until the execution?”
“Yeah, I know… I get it.” Ann said quickly, sighing deeply as she tried to work out how
she could exin this to them in a way that they wouldn’t lose their minds.

“Listen, this is strictly confidential, and I’m only telling you all because once Adam is
inaugurated as the Alpha Queen’s consort, then he’ll have ess to this information
anyway… but I expect both you and Allen to keep this to yourselves… okay? If word
gets out about the existence of this facility… it could be catastrophic.” Ann answered
reluctantly.
Lexi nodded eagerly as she stared intently at her, waiting for her to answer.
Now that everyone’s full attention was trained on her, she was more than a little
ufortable, and she turned to stare out of the window at the passing scenery as
she spoke.
