    Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell


    Chapter 212 Someone is a Little Jealous?


    Despite his best efforts, Ann did not sumb to Adam’s less-than-subtle efforts to force her into


    rxation for the rest of the day.


    She agreed to apromise and didn’t leave the room until lunchtime, still concerned that her absence


    had put additional strain on Lexi and Allen that they didn’t deserve


    They had already been in the Enve a full day without any input from her, let alone a wee, and


    she felt awful.


    “Ann, slow down, they aren’t going anywhere.” Adam chastised gently as they swept through the


    hallways. “I know, I just want to make sure that they know they have my support if needed,” Ann


    answered absent-mindedly as she poked her head through the c***k in the doorway of yet another


    room thaty at the side of the corridor but found no sign of Lexi or Allen within.


    “Besides, I need to talk with Lexi. I don’t think she fully understands what it means to have Allen as a


    mate for her position in our society.” She muttered as she sighed impatiently and closed the door,


    resuming her search with gusto as she strode forward eagerly.


    “Don’t you have any idea where they’ll be?” she asked over her shoulder as Adam’s shoulders slumped


    in defeat slightly and he increased his pace a little in order to catch up with her and walk at her side.


    “No, I don’t. I know Lord Brarthroroz arranged for another session in the holding cells with some of the


    gicists and researchers this morning, I’m not sure if Bartholomew will be with him or not, but as far


    as Lexi and Allen are concerned, I’ve not had the opportunity to catch up with them today so I don’t


    know for sure.”


    Ann hummed in displeasure.


    “I think we should try Bartholomew’s office then.” She said after a few minutes of thought and suddenly


    changed direction, almost causing Adam to walk into her as she turned abruptly.


    Adam clenched his jaw but said nothing, as he quietly followed at her side, studying the look of deep


    thought on her face.


    As they wove through the corridors and passed the entrance to one of the courtyard gardens that


    littered the Enve, familiar voices drifted into the corridor and Ann stopped suddenly, her head


    whipping around in the direction that the voices hade from


    “Ha! Found them.” She muttered under her breath as Adam suppressed a smile.


    Lexi stood with her back to them, and although Allen had noticed their arrival, he said nothing, only the


    mischievous glint in his eyes signaled that he had seen them in his peripheral vision.


    Ann smirked slightly and suddenly became very still. The zed look that fell over her eyes told Adam


    that she was in conversation with Maeve, and when she began to lower her posture slightly as she


    moved toward Lexi, Adam knew exactly what she had nned.


    It was rare that he got to see this yful side of Ann as she stalked silently forwards, with an intent


    focus, but he had to admit it was sort of endearing. In contrast to the seriousness of their everyday life,


    seeing her like this made a nice change. In seconds, Ann hadunched herself across the remaining


    distance and pounced on Lexi’s back, wrapping her arms around her tightly as a surprised squeal left


    her lips. “HOLY f****g S*HITB*ALLS, ANN. ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!” Lexi yelled furiously as


    Ann giggled helplessly and hugged her tighter.


    “That’s Queen Ann…” Allen corrected dryly with a smirk.


    “Don’t you dare!” Lexi snapped, rounding on him furiously as she clutched her chest, “Why the f**k


    didn’t you warn me?! You absolute bastard… I’ll get you back for this you know… mark my words!” she


    threatened with narrowed eyes.


    “I’m sorry Lexi, I couldn’t resist. It’s been so long…” Ann apologized through giggles as she tried to


    catch her breath. “Yeah, you sound really sorry,” Lexi sneered, “Is this a side effect of you getting


    hammered by your man? Did he knock what little sense remains out of you with his d**k?”


    Ann snorted loudly as she bent over clutching her sides which were now aching withughter. Maeve


    wasn’t helping the situation as she yipped happily at having got one over on their friend for the first time


    in years.


    “Tell Maeve she can f**k off too. It was probably her who put you up to it anyway.” Lexi fumed moodily,


    folding her arms in front of her as she pouted, “What do you want anyway? Shouldn’t you be getting


    railed so that you can spawn a load of cute little smut puppies in the name of the kingdom and all that?”

    Ann grinned widely as she stood upright and wiped the tears from her eyes.


    “Sounds like someone is a little jealous.” Ann teased as Lexi sighed and rolled her eyes.


    “Sure, keep telling yourself that.” she snorted, her eyes dancing with mischief as she held back the


    cutting remark that anyone other than Ann would have received under normal circumstances.


    “Honestly, I only wanted to find you to make sure you weren’t taking on more than you could manage “


    Ann grinned as she reached for her friend’s hand.


    “Why? Don’t you think I can handle it?” Lexi replied, her mouth curling upwards as she teased her


    friend


    “Not at all. I didn’t mean that and you know it.” Ann admonished with a smile as she linked her arm


    through Lexi’s and they began walking.


    Adam and Allen followed behind them after sharing a resigned look and spoke quietly amongst


    themselves. “I just don’t think it’s fair that you have to deal with all the additional s**t, while I’m away


    spreading my legs for the good of the kingdom,” Ann sniggered as Lexi’s eyes widened in surprise.


    “Careful now Queenie, you’ll have the crusty old farts up in arms with your use ofnguage in the


    sacred halls of the Enve,” Lexi teased.


    “Well, it will probably do them some good having a bit of youth injected into these echoey corridors.


    Things will change here Lexi, and I’m not expecting it to be an easy ride, there’s going to be a lot of


    bacsh and I didn’t want you to have to handle that if you didn’t know what you were walking into.”


    “Pffft! Please!” she sneered, “I’m so used to being on the receiving end of piss-poor attitudes for being


    a hybrid, whatever the crinkly old t***s are going to throw at me will probably bounce off my impably


    hardened exterior,” She smirked. “Even so, if you weren’t ready for it, I wanted to be able to prepare


    you… at least a little.”


    “b***h, I was bom ready” Lexi quipped, and then hastily added apanied by a flourishing bow,


    “Sorry… Queen B*itc*h… with the utmost respect.”


    Ann sniggered as Lexi remained bent over in an borate bow before her, drawing the attention of


    passing Elders in the corridors. Ann pulled her upright, wrapping her arm around her, and together they


    scurried towards Bartholomew’s office with their heads close together as theyughed like a pair of


    teenage schoolgirls up to no good.


    “Do you think the Elders are going to know what’s hit them?” Adam asked with a hint of amusement in


    his voice as they increased their pace to keep up.


    “Doubtful.” Allen snorted, “The moment that it dawns on them that Lexi is mated to me and


    automatically gained the position of the Dark Moon’s Beta Female, which by a strange twist of fate will


    probably make her even more qualified to hold the position of the Queen’s Beta… I think they’ll s**t


    their pants.” He continued with a smirk.
