    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 195 You’re Both Terrible Liars


    Lord Brarthroroz refused any assistance with their baggage from the omegas and


    instead insisted on carrying it themselves as Allen led them up the stairs and through


    the corridors to thefortable guest quarters that were reserved for important


    guests.


    Allen was positive that Lexi hadpletely misunderstood hisck ofposure


    when they first appeared and he actually missed her over-familiarity now that she had


    closed herself off from him.


    He would give anything to have her gripping hold of his arm and teasing him


    mercilessly, instead of trailing behind him with that cold, emotionless stare that she


    had fixed on his back at the minute. “Is everything okay, Beta Allen? You seem as


    distracted as my daughter has been. Is there something going on between you two


    that I should know about?”


    “No!” Allen and Lexi both replied hastily at the same time, with matching guilty


    expressions stered on their faces.


    Lord Brarthroroz chuckled.


    “You’re both terrible liars… but I won’t press you for details. You’re both adults. I trust


    that you can sort whatever this is out between you both before I have to travel with


    you both to the Enve tomorrow. Things are going to be difficult enough without you


    two adding to an already tense atmosphere when we arrive.” He said casually as they


    stopped in front of one of the luxurious rooms that Adam had specified were


    specifically to be reserved for Lord Brarthroroz should he ever visit.


    Allen cleared his throat awkwardly and bowed slightly to him. “This is your room, Lord


    Brarthroroz. Would you like any help settling in?”


    “I think I can manage.” Lord Brarthroroz smirked in response. “I assume I just head


    back downstairs when it’s time to eat?”

    Allen nodded gently.


    “Yes. I’ll have one of the Omegase and let you know when the meals are served


    if you like.”


    “That won’t be necessary.”


    “Very well. Can I offer you a tour of the pack grounds? Or perhaps the library…” Allen


    offered, his nervousness at being alone with Lexi very shortly, starting to get the better


    of him.


    “Allen, I’m sure I can find my way around the pack house if you don’t mind me


    exploring a little bit and stretching my legs. I would much rather you and my daughter


    sort whatever it is that’s going on between you out.” He grinned mischievously.


    “There’s nothing for us to sort out Papa. You’ve got it all wrong.”


    “Yes. I’m sure I have. But I will say this, the longer you leave an argument to fester


    without resolving it, the bigger it will get. Don’t let it get to that point. Take it from an


    Ancient Daemon Lord with many years of life experience.” Lord Brarthroroz answered


    quietly, before patting his daughter on the shoulder and going inside his room,


    shutting the door gently behind him.


    Lexi and Allen stood outside the door to his room in silence, shifting awkwardly on the


    spot, before Allen took a deep breath and cleared his throat nervously.


    “Right. Well, I’ll show you to your room then.”


    Lexi nodded without saying a word, instead ring at him with an unreadable


    expression. Allen reached for her bag, which she allowed him to take, and strode off


    down the corridor, to the room that Ann had allocated to Lexi.


    They both felt that if Lexi was going to be staying here on a semi-permanent basis to


    lecture in the schools, then she should also have her own room so that she had


    everything she needed close at hand.


    The only downside was that it was on the same floor as Allen’s room.


    Not that Allen saw it as a downside, but more of a temptation that would be difficult to


    cope with if he wasn’t able to resolve the issues between them.


    Lexi frowned when she realized where they were headed and snorted loudly. “You


    better not be thinking I’m staying in your room with you, Beta boy.”


    “I never said that. I didn’t choose the room. Ann did.”


    Lexi snorted again, a little louder this time. “Oh of course she did. Sly little Queenie.


    Well if she thinks I’m going to roll over and y happy families with you she’s got


    another thinging.”


    Allen stopped outside of her room and opened the door for her, his wolf howling his


    displeasure at Allen’s performance so far in his head, and his heart aching as if Lexi


    had driven a dagger through it with her dismissal of him. “This is your room. Do you


    want help unpacking?” Allen said tightly, willing his voice not to c***k under the intense


    emotion he was feeling.


    “Do I look like I can’t handle myself?” Lexi snapped as she took the bag from him.


    “No… that’s not what I meant…”


    “It never is, is it, Allen? You offer help presuming that I’m incapable and then


    backtrack when I bite back.” She hissed furiously.


    “Lexi, I…”


    “Save it, Beta boy. I’m so furious with you that I don’t even know how I’m supposed to


    feel about any of this. Based on how I’m feeling right now if I never saw you again,


    then I could live quite happily with that.” She fumed furiously as she turned and


    stormed into her room mming the door behind her.


    Allen stood staring at the door in front of him and listened to his wolf’s furious diatribe


    in his head. He wasn’t mad at Lexi, he was mad at Allen, and when the soft sounds of


    Lexi’s crying drifted through the air, Allen’s heart felt as though it might shatter.


    He had done this and he would never forgive himself. No matter what it took, he was


    going to put this right.
