Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 174 Civil Conversation
At the mere sight of him, Lexi suddenly had no desire to tease Allen at this moment in
time. Looking at him like this, with the anger rolling off him in waves and the vein
pulsing in his neck angrily, he looked dangerous. That was something that she had
never seen in him before.
She swallowed nervously as he came to a stop before her, his chest heaving with
anger. The golden irises of his wolf shone through brightly as he glowered down at
her, the cloud of anger almost suffocating her as it seemed to envelop herpletely.
“What the f**k are you doing here with him?” Allen snarled, with barely suppressed
rage as Lexi stared at him, utterly transfixed by the metamorphosis of the quiet,
restrained man that she had teased mercilessly to this vision of terrifying anger before
her.
“I… uh…” she stammered,pletely taken aback by his sudden appearance and the
whole situation. “Not a good answer, Lexi.” He ground out as he took hold of her arm

roughly and attempted to pull her up from her chair.
“Hey! What…” Lexi stammered, still not fully sure what was going on. Before she
could answerpletely, the sound of a chair scraping loudly across the floor could
be heard and suddenly, Allen’s hand was roughly removed before he was pushed
away forcefully.
The strength that was put into the shove sent him staggering backward a few steps as
Greyson moved to stand in front of her, his canines bared in warning as he faced Allen
fearlessly.
“What thef**k are you doing?” Greyson snarled protectively as Allen looked between
the two of them with a furious look in his eyes.
“You’re overstepping boy, get the f“k away from her,” he growled as their confrontation
began to draw the full attention of the people gathered in themon area.
“Why should I? She doesn’t belong to you, she’s free to spend time with whoever she
chooses and quite honestly, if it’s a choice between listening to you berate her, or
having a civil conversation then I can see why she would rather spend her time with
me.” Greysonughed mockingly.
“Stop. Talking.” Allen ground out slowly, the dangerous undertone in his words made
the hair on Lexi’s neck stand on end.
“Make me.” Greyson challenged with a grin.
This unseen persona of Alien’s was terrifying, possessive almost… and she loved it.
Yet, watching Greyson stand boldly in front of her, without breaking a sweat, cool,
collected, and equally as terrifying, her stomach flipped at the sight of both of them.
What was this? It wasn’t just lust that was for certain. Sure, she wanted both of them
in ways that should be illegal, but if she had to choose, at this moment, she couldn’t.
She had never before been in a situation where she genuinely gave a damn about
men getting hurt because of her. But with Allen and Greyson, something was different.
The idea was insane to her because normally she enjoyed driving Allen crazy and
never seriously thought that there was any stronger feeling behind it otherthan pentup s****l tension.
And Greyson? Well, she had only just met him. Why should she care
if they tore each other apart?
Before she could stop herself, she found herself standing between the two of them
and when she realized what she was doing, she was instantly furious with herself.
“Look, boys, is this really necessary? In public? In full view of everyone?” She hissed
furiously as she looked between the two of them.
Both Greyson and Allen growled almost simultaneously at her instead of answering
properly and Lexi snorted in disgust.
Right… because acting like feral f*uc*kboy’s is really doing wonders for your image.”
She snapped furiously as she
glowered at Allen.
“Lexi, step aside. I don’t want you to get hurt.” He forced out, never taking his eyes off
Greyson for a second. “Ha! No, you don’t get to tell me what to do Beta boy!” She
roared furiously, “You f‘*‘**g stand there on your little pedestal, always judging me for
being too loud and too bolshy and not being able to choose my parentage, frequently
demanding that I conform to what YOUthink is eptable behavior and just f****’g
look at you! In your holy little Enve acting like a f***”*g savage!”
Allen snarled in irritation as Greyson smirked at him from behind her, only increasing
his anger further. “I won’t warn you again Lexi…” Allen warned.
“f*****g touch her and I’ll make you regret it…” Greyson threatened as he tried to pull
her back to get her behind him so that he could protect her from whatever this clearly
unstable male was going to throw at her.
“Well, it sucks to be you because I’m not f“***g moving an inch until you back off. You
have no right to be acting this way! Greyson has done nothing wrong and only spoke
the truth! Why the f**k should I spend a second with you when I’m clearly everything
that you f““*g hate! He is far betterpany than you will ever be!” Lexi roared as
tears of fury and frustration trickled slowly down her cheeks.
She didn’t fully understand why she was so angry with herself. It could be because
she had gotten herself into this situation in the first ce, or it could be because she
didn’t want to be made a public spectacle of, in such a high-profile ce. Perhaps it
was because she was irritated at herself for catching feelings that she didn’t fully
understand, and only realizing it now.
Whatever it was though, with those words she had spoken in anger, it seemed to have
affected Allen in some way as well that seemed to pull at her already-confused heart.
He nced across at her and a flicker of hurt seemed to appear in his eyes before it
vanished, and then he snapped.
Before she could react, Allenunched himself forwards, hooking her around the waist
with his left arm and pulling him against his chest as he flung a well-aimed punch in
Greyson’s direction that connected loudly with his jaw and sent him sprawling.
“You f****’g animal, let me go!” Lexi screamed angrily as she struggled against the
pincer-like grip of his arm around her waist.
With Greyson dazed on the floor and struggling to stand, Allen rxed his grip on Lexi
a little and she brought her arm up quickly, wanting tond a hit for the audacity of the
man to embarrass her so publicly.
But Allen hadn’t finished surprising her yet.
He caught her arm effortlessly mid-air, and pulled her roughly back to his chest as his
still-furious re studied her intently for a second, his chest heaving angrily against
her.
Lexi stared back, utterly transfixed by his golden irises and the emotions that swam
within for what seemed like forever.
Without warning, he took her face in his hands, his palms cupping her face tenderly as
he crashed his lips against hers.
