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 answer
completely, 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 f*orc*efully.
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 pent-up 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 f*orc*ed 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 embarra*s*s her so
publicly.
But Allen hadn’t finished surprising her yet.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
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.
