Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 247 Does He Even Know Yet?
“Sit. Eat.” Allen demanded as Ann glowered at him furiously.
“Shouldn’t that be, ‘Sit and eat, your Highness’?” Lexi sniggered as Ann shot her a re that told her in
no uncertain terms to shut up.
Allen sighed and ran his hands through his hair, clearly a little stressed.
“Look, if I don’t make sure you eat, Adam is going to kill me… not to mention his wolf… and I quite like
having my head attached to my shoulders thank you very much,” Allen exined, “Does he even know
yet?”

“Well, I’ve hardly had time to tell him yet…” Ann replied weakly as Allen raised a questioning eyebrow
at her.
“So, you had time to throw a text to Lexi and not Adam?”
“Listen, there’s not a lot he can do from all the way over there is there? Besides, I don’t want to distract
him if he’s in the middle of something. And I would much rather he hear this face to face rather than by
text or phone call.” Ann snapped.
Allen narrowed his eyes at her before turning and walking slowly over to the omega behind the bar to
ce the order for a meal that he felt was adequate to meet her newly increased needs.
“Seriously Lexi?” Ann hissed as soon as Allen was out of earshot.
She shrugged and grinned as she leaned back in her chair.
“I’m sorry, my mouth slipped.” she saidpletely unbothered at how furious Ann was with her right
now, “What? Don’t look at me like that. It got you out of your funk didn’t it?” She continued, her grin
widening as Ann continued to scowl at her.
Ann knew she was right, but she didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that. She was saved
from trying to think of a suitable reply as Allen took a seat at the table again.
“Food will be here shortly.” He announced gruffly as he flicked through his phone.
“Rude of you to have your phone at the table,” Lexi teased as she leaned forward to peer at his phone,
“Wait, who are you messaging?”
“Well, I was going to tell Adam toe back…”
“Absolutely not!” Ann snapped furiously, mming her hand down on the table, “These babies might be
important, but so is neutralizing the threats at our borders.” She hissed as Allen blinked in surprise at
her outburst.

Ann took a moment topose herself as she realized there were several people seated in the bar
area now looking over at them with interest.
“I think I can manage to take care of myself for a few days, maybe even weeks without his presence
here. The Enve is perfectly safe and I know damn well that Adam wouldn’t have left me in your
capable hands if he didn’t have faith that you could keep me safe in his absence.” She continued a little
more calmly.
“I still think he would want to know.” Allen pressed, as Ann moved to the side slightly as the waiter
ced the food on the table in front of her.
“The rest will be with you shortly,” The waiter informed them before bowing slightly and disappearing
again as they nodded their acknowledgment to him.
“You’re wrong Allen. It can wait. I don’t want you to go against me in this, and if I have to order you to
keep quiet about it, then I will.” Ann stated firmly as she reached for the sandwich in front of her and
took a bite, washing it down with a sip of the juice that the waiter had ced in front of her.
She grimaced as she swallowed.
“Thank you for the food, Allen, and for looking out for my well-being, but for future reference, I’m not a
huge fan of mixed smoothies, they always have a weird aftertaste.”
Allen sighed and nodded reluctantly.
“Noted Ann. I’m just trying to make sure you get everything that you and your babies need. Three pups
are a lot to carry.., especially for a first pregnancy. Your body is being thrown in at the deep end from
the start.”
“I know, and I appreciate it, but my physician has given me a bunch of supplements to take as well…
oh…”
Allen frowned as Ann’s face paled suddenly and she almost seemed to waver in her chair as she
brought her hand up to her chest.
“Ann? What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know,” she answered weakly as searing pain seemed to ripple and spread through her body
apanied by the overwhelming desire to close her eyes, “I don’t … feel so great..”
Both Allen and Lexi shot out of their seats to Ann’s side and together they caught her as her body fell
from the chair like a dead weight.
“GUARDS!” Allen roared as Lexi’s panic-stricken eyes met his own briefly before turning back to her
friend whoy motionless in their arms, “Seal the area, and don’t let anyone leave the Enve! No
exceptions!” Allen roared above the chaos that was developing behind them.
“Ann? ANN! Wake up!” Lexi pleaded as she shook her gently and her voice cracked.
She looked to Allen helplessly, instantly knowing that something had gone devastatingly wrong but
unsure how to deal with something that she couldn’t fight or charm her way out of.
The darkness that seemed to have taken over Allen’s face chilled her to the bone, but the ruthless
efficiency that he showed as he barked out orders to the guards and instructed samples of everything
on their table to be taken and secured, at least provided her some reassurance that things would be
taken care of properly.
In seconds Allen was crouched back at her side, his mind clearly working in overdrive as he scooped
Ann up in his arms without a word and began racing towards the exit of the bar.
“Allen.” Lexi called out as she hurried after him.
“We need to get her to the infirmary,” He said urgently as he began racing through the corridors with
Lexi keeping pace effortlessly at his side, “If you think your father can help, get him to meet us there.”
Lexi nodded as tears filled her eyes and she raced off to find her father.
This couldn’t be happening. Not to Ann, not now.
She prayed with everything that she had in her to all of the gods that she could think of that Ann would
make it through whatever was happening and that her babies would be spared the evil that had
assaulted her.
