Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate Chapter 208


    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 208 The Start of The Horror Show


    The lounge Lexi had taken Allen to was pretty much deserted at this time of day. There weren’t too


    many people who enjoyed a liquid brunch at the enve clearly, but that served Lexi’s goals just fine.


    “So, are you going to tell me or not?” Lexi asked impatiently as soon as the omega that was acting as


    waitress deposited their order and disappeared off into the recess behind the bar.


    Allen sighed and picked at the edge of the table absent-mindedly as he debated how best to answer


    her. She was right of course, and Orvar agreed with everything that she said. Not that it surprised him.


    When it came to Lexi, Orvar was clearly biased.


    ‘It’s not biased, it’s being intelligent enough to realize when you’re wrong, and let’s face it Allen, you’ve


    been wrong a lot so far.’


    ‘I didn’t ask for yourmentary on my choices that I clearly regret, Orvar.’ Allen snapped as his mind


    went into overdrive.


    ‘No, but you’ll get them anyway…’ Orvar replied with a smirk and was about to continue when Lexi


    tutted impatiently at him


    “Sorry, wolf talk…” Allen shrugged apologetically with a tight smile.


    “You do realize that this whole talking to yourself thing makes you seem more than just a little


    psychotic, right? Hearing voices and answering them will usually get you a one-way ticket to being


    committed to the local asylum.” Lexi replied half seriously.


    Allen snorted.


    “If I could lock him away in there sometimes just to get a bit of peace, I might actually consider it for a


    viable vacation spot.”


    ‘Good luck with that. Humans and their drugs won’t shut me up because I’m part of you.’ Orvar


    grumbled as he slumped to the floor moodily as Allen pointedly shut him out.


    “Look, I don’t even know where to begin with this Lexi…” He trailed off helplessly as she rolled her eyes


    and took a long gulp from the ss she clung tightly to in her hand.


    “The beginning is usually a good point.” Lexi quipped nonchntly with a wave of her hand, the liquid


    inside the ss sloshing a little too close to the edges of the ss for Alien’s liking.


    “I… had a… falling out with Felix’s brother…” Allen answered haltingly, as he stared into his ss.


    “No s**t Sherlock.” Lexi snapped in exasperation, “I already figured that out. What did you argue


    about?”


    “Well, I was trying to tell you…”


    “Then s*hu*t up and tell me!”


    “How can I shut up AND tell you? It’s physically impossible!” Allen countered, desperate to dy the


    inevitable, but he knew he was fighting a losing battle.


    “Allen…” Lexi growled warningly as her eyes shed that angry hue of crimson that warned of her


    rising temper. They stared at one another at a standoff before Alien’s shoulders sagged and he tore his


    eyes from hers in defeat. “The Dubois family have always been a rival of sorts,” Allen exined finally


    as Lexi studied him carefully.


    “In what way?”


    “Well, the fact that they are neighboring Kingdoms and all that. They coexist peacefully of course, but


    there’s always an underlying sense of them trying to prove that they’re superior in different ways.”


    “Ah, so the standard d*ic*k-measuring contest you boys like to crow about then.” Lexi smirked. “We’re


    not all like that you know.” Allen scowled, which just made Lexi’s smirk transform into an even wider


    grin of amusement.


    “Sure You keep telling yourself that big boy,” Lexi teased as she gestured for him to continue. “So, you


    boys have a rivalry, got it. How is that different from every other pack out there?”


    Allen shifted awkwardly in his chair and took a sip of the whisky in front of him, circling the liquid inside


    the ss and watching it intently as it swirled furiously, crashing over the ice cubes within like a raging


    storm at sea, the movement of the liquid almost perfectly mimicking the tempest of emotions within


    him.


    “This one is personal. There was an incident a few years ago, during apetition,” Allen exined


    quietly, his voice dropping to a hushed tone full of darkness and pain and Lexi felt herself suddenly


    ovee with a feeling of foreboding “Felix’s brother, Jasper Dubois has a reputation for being


    viciously cruel and upromising in all aspects of his life. He was the same inpetitions and


    when it came to ranked fighting, he would settle for nothing less than first ce.”


    “Bit of an arrogant little t**t then, yes?” Lexi asked softly, as Allen’s mouth turned up into an ironic grin


    as he met her gaze.


    “Yeah. You could say that. Adam floored him though, in seconds at this particr match and he didn’t


    take it well. Knowing full well that he couldn’t retaliate against the son of the Alpha of the Dark Moon,


    he decided to try against the Beta’s son … me.” He continued, holding eye contact until the ghost of


    pain shed across his eyes and he lowered his gaze back to his drink again.


    “I was the same back then as I am now, although my temper was worse and my mouth less guarded.


    Although I met him fairly when he issued the challenge, the challenge was anything but fair. He


    cheated outrageously, but as the son of a neighboring king, no one stepped in when he produced a


    very unique set of knuckle dusters adorned with tiny little spikes that were designed to inject wolfsbane


    directly into the bloodstream anytime that he sessfullynded a hit during the fight.”


    Lexi’s mouth set into a grim line as she listened intently This Jasper sounded like he needed a lesson


    in humility, that was for sure.


    “Adam was incensed. He knew what was happening but was prevented from acting, forced to stand on


    the sidelines and watch as I was beaten to a near pulp thanks to the wolfsbane absolutely annihting


    my strength They signaled for the match to end but he didn’t stop. It took six of them to pull him off me


    and as Iy unconscious on the ground, he turned to Adam with a grin that showed just how truly


    unrepentant he was.”

    “So that’s the rivalry? The fact he beat you to a pulp?” Lexi asked, wanting to understand his pain, but


    the dark chuckle that escaped his throat made her blood run cold


    “Oh no, that was just the start of the horror show. As he was dragged away, shouting threats and


    insults to anyone that would listen, his attention fell on the figure of a distraught girl running across the


    field towards where Iy.” Allen said, his voice cracking slightly as he sagged against the table, with his


    head in his hands.


    “My little sister…” Allen forced out, his voice strangled in his throat, “I couldn’t protect her Lexi… none


    of us could…”
