Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 282 Two Choices
Greyson led the way through the shell of a building that he and his men had secured and had been using as a base to direct reconnaissance and shelter the people they had rescued. Lexi followed behind him with Allen and Lord Brarthroroz at her side as they made their way past the curious looks of a mixture of men and civilians who had clearly been involved in some sort of fighting recently. "We had to utilize some of the civilians that had combat experience." Greyson explained as they descended a rusty spiral staircase into the basement area, "The men that we lost left gaps in the defense that we had to replace." Lord Brarthroroz hummed as Lexi and Allen shared a look between them, both of them having noticed just how beaten down the remaining members of Greyson's original squadron were. Greyson ushered them past civilians huddled together in various rooms, their faces etched in misery as the sound of children crying hung hauntingly in the air. "There was no way to get all o

Bartholomew was mid discussion with Adam and the Enclave's Commander of the guard when his office phone rang. He stared at it in bemusement and exhaled a short laugh. "I rarely get calls directed here…" He mused as he reached for the receiver. The Enclave's commander grunted in annoyance and threw himself down on the chair, resuming the animated discussion with Adam regarding the reinforcements due to leave in less than an hour's time. "Oh! Lord Brarthroroz!" Bartholomew exclaimed as Adam's head turned violently towards him and he focused his attention on the conversation. "Yes, Yes I can do that. Let me call you back, I just need a few minutes to check the records. I'm sure I have it in here somewhere." Bartholomew's face took on a thoughtful expression as he said goodbye, hung up and made his way over to the bookcase. Adam and the Commander exchanged a look, and as no explanation was forthcoming, Adam cleared his throat loudly and looked towards Bartholomew expectantly.
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 284 Reinforcements
As soon as Lord Brarthroroz had ended his call with Bartholomew, he asked Greyson if there was anywhere close by that he could get to without being seen. "What for?" Greyson asked with a tilt of his head. "I intend to have some of my own forces brought to help shore up your defenses here," Lord Brarthroroz explained, "I assumed that your men would prefer not to see their true forms and that would require having somewhere a little more…discreet." "I see," Greyson said as he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, "well, unless I can clear an area of me then it's going to be difficult. How much space do you need?" "Just enough for a portal." He shrugged as Greyson's eyes widened slightly. "Right. Well…" He paused again as he extended that word and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "How about in here? We can clear out and wait outside if there's enough room in here." "You may want to clear this floor then until everyone is through. There may be some unpleasant odors and some… more into

As soon as Steve materialized in the room and locked eyes with Lexi, her lips curled up at the sides into a mischievous grin. "Well hello there you little ray of sunshine," she winked, "How's life?" "Eternal." Steve answered with a face like stone, no flicker of emotion in his eyes as he turned to regard Lord Brarthroroz with the same deadpan expression, "You called?" Lord Brarthroroz ignored Lexi's sniggers and got straight to business. "I need to transport some of our forces here, cambion's and their handlers mainly," Lord Brathroroz explained, "A few mimic's too. There may be more required at a later date, but we'll meet that when we come to it." "I live to serve." Steve bowed slightly as the corners of his mouth twitched. "I can't decide whether or not there was the hint of sarcasm in there Steve," Lord Brarthroroz rumbled as he inspected his face carefully for any tell tale signs. "Sarcasm? Against the Daemon Lord himself? Who would possibly dare…" Steve answered q

She couldn't help but feel angry at herself for reacting that way. Of course, she had been warned about the Cambion's effect on non-daemons, but she had thought that with her part daemon heritage, that perhaps the pull wouldn't affect her as deeply. How wrong she had been. She could still feel the traces of the ache of desire between her legs and as soon as she reached the top of the stairs and emerged into the room beyond, shutting the door to the staircase behind her wearily, both Greyson and Allen stopped mid conversation, their heads snapping to look at her intensely. She swallowed nervously and tried to brush the feeling away as they tilted their chins upwards, sniffing delicately at the air before their eyes darkened suddenly and the two of them stormed over to her. Greyson grabbed hold of her arm, his eyes flashing angrily as he scented the air around her as unobtrusively as he could. "Why are you aroused, Lexi?" He ground out as his grip on her arm tightened and she
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 287 These Six Will Help You
Allen and Lexi made their way back into the main room and quickly realized that Greyson was nowhere to be found. Lexi was a little embarrassed regarding the sympathetic glances and understanding smiles that many of the females here threw her way, but it also helped her feel a little better about the whole thing. Greyson had seemed so understanding and generally a nice guy when she had first met him, and she had quickly come to the conclusion that the part of him that was Lycan, the near feral, primal beast that lurked inside of him, was both terrifying and exhilaratingly exciting in it's dangerousness. As they chatted amongst themselves and Lexi listened to a discussion about the recent foray into the closest villages for supplies and rescue, the door to the stairwell opened and Lord Brarthroroz emerged with a deep scowl on his face. "Where's Greyson?" He asked abruptly as he looked around expectantly for an answer. "He just stepped out for a few minutes Papa," Lexi answered
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 288 Special Brand of Vengeance
In Lexi's opinion, waiting was always the hardest part of anything and she was well aware that patience was not her strong point. While everyone else sat waiting, chatting amongst themselves or poring over various maps and blueprints, she paced backward and forward restlessly. It seemed like forever since the teams had left them for their various assignments, but a quick glance at her watch told her that it had only been around an hour and a half. Greyson and Lord Brarthroroz were going over the briefings for the men who would be involved in the initial assault and although Greyson kept sending her furtive glances whenever he got the chance, she was still pissed with him. She checked her watch again and sighed in frustration, half wishing that she was at least able to do something to take her mind off things instead of feeling like she was a spare piece in a colossally fucked up game of chess. Her head snapped across to where her father had suddenly stood up, moving away sl
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 289 Yes Commander
They approached the outer ring of the crumbled defenses of the overgrown ruin, moving as stealthily as they possibly could. Lord Brarthroroz had been good enough to extend a barrier around the group that would keep the noise of their movement muffled and the team hidden from sight, but it was only really effective if there was no one close by to see the movements of the undergrowth around them. So far, they hadn't come across any scouting parties as they moved and it had mostly been plain sailing. Lord Brarthroroz led the group with Lexi, Allen and Greyson behind him, and the rest of the ranked wolves and fighters spread across in groups of five as they walked. As they drew closer and began to set up a field base and perimeter under the cover of the surrounding forest, Lord Brarthroroz moved a little further forward to rendezvous with the Mimic's that had been waiting patiently for their arrival. The other ruin they had been waiting to hear back on had turned out to be unoc

As their convoy of cars and moving vans rolled up the driveway, Ann's stomach twisted uncomfortably as her anxiety set in. Regardless of what her babies were doing to her insides, the effects that her heightened emotions were having on her far eclipsed any discomfort that her pups were causing. She took a deep breath as she tried to calm the anxiety that knotted her insides and made her heart ache painfully. As far as she knew, her father was still living within the palace and she still wasn't sure that she could forgive him for everything that she had been put through because of his choices. In the worst-case scenario, she could always extend the palace to encompass two main living areas so that she wouldn't have to deal with tolerating his presence. She didn't even want to think about how she would explain to her children that they couldn't ever meet the incredible woman that her mother was because her father had an affair, broke the mating bond, and allowed his mistress and

"Right, I think that's the last of them," Adam grinned as he jogged through the huge doors of the Enclave's entrance hall to where Ann was pacing restlessly and Bartholomew was watching with mild amusement. "Finally," Ann sighed as she rubbed her belly with a grimace, "At this point, all I want to do is get my home back to what it used to be." Adam leaned forward and planted a kiss on Ann's forehead. "Are they making things difficult for you?" He asked gently, rubbing her back. Ann reached for his hand with a scowl and placed it palm down on top of her belly and grimaced as another flurry of movement rippled under her skin and Adam blinked in surprise. "Are they fighting in there?!" He asked in shock. "With two stubborn Alpha's for parents, I wouldn't put it past them." Bartholomew chuckled as he made his way over to them, smiling kindly. Ann lifted her gaze and her face softened as she looked at the kindly face of the old man that had been there for them through so muc
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 300 We'll Find Him
When Coral had returned with the Omega that worked as a nanny to the nobles, the baby boy was handed over to her and she waddled off happily, cooing at the baby in her arms as it gurgled happily back up at her. Coral began to work through updating the schedule for Ann as she dictated, adding additional notes that she shared with Allen's device. He would see to their schedule tomorrow as he had several days worth of reports to hear from Adam as to what had happened within the businesses and the Dark Moon Pack while he was away. Lexi made her way back to her room with both Allen and Greyson following behind her. She paused outside her door and turned to them both with a smile. "Sorry to disappoint boys, but I don't feel like getting frisky right now. Quite honestly, I just want to soak all of this crap off me." They nodded at her as she looked at them thoughtfully. "We really should sit down and have a discussion about how this is going to work between us all, you know." she
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 299 Kindred Spirits
"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that." Ann said a little breathlessly as she looked between Lexi, Allen and Greyson. Adam shared the same concerned expression as she did at the revelations that Eromaug would clearly stop at nothing to get his hands on Lexi. "You're absolutely sure that your father is willing to ally himself with us?" Ann asked as the baby in her arms began to stir and protest at the noise and unfamiliar surroundings it had found itself in. Lexi snorted loudly. "Of course he is. How could he not when his daughter is your right hand woman?" She winked. "We should put it to the council first." Adam said somberly as Lexi groaned loudly. "I'm sure they'll be thrilled at the opportunity," She muttered sarcastically as Ann laughed. "I think we should get hold of Bartholomew so that he can help us find a way to ‘tell' the council of our alliance, rather than ask for their permission." Ann mused thoughtfully, "He's pretty knowledgeable about who supports us,
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 298 Save the Baby
Ann and Adam stood on the front steps of the Enclave, eagerly waiting for the return of both of their Beta's. Adam chuckled as Ann fidgeted with her hands and struggled to stand still, her gaze fixed on the curve of the driveway. "They'll be here soon, don't worry." He soothed, wrapping his arm around her as she nibbled on her bottom lip. "What if something happened though?" She worried as she rubbed her little bump in an act of self soothing. Adam's eyes glazed over slightly as he linked with Allen and then grinned down at his anxious wife. "Allen said stop worrying, it's not good for the baby. They'll be here in seconds." "But…" As promised, the front end of the transport pulled around the corner of the driveway and Ann let out a sigh of relief. "See, my Queen? Nothing to worry about." Adam chuckled as he watched them pull to a stop in front of them. As soon as the door opened and Lexi's head emerged, Ann broke away from Adam and bolted down the steps towards her.
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 297 Because of His Obsession
Lexi knew that she was still conscious, but the pressure that engulfed her head, and the rigidity of her body teamed with the almost distant voices of protest from Allen and Greyson let her know that she had no control over what was happening right now. The initial black curtain that had descended was suddenly filled with hundreds upon hundreds of memories from her childhood, all played out in glorious technicolor and accompanied by sounds and smells that made her heart ache with familiarity and her breath catch in her chest. There was no way that she could catch each and every memory at once, but she could see it clearly. The bond that both she and Eromaug had shared at an early stage was filled with love and an intensity that she had known only with Allen and Greyson. By the time the images had begun to fade in her mind's eye and her vision returned, she was overwhelmed with emotions. As she sat there trembling, clasping her hands together tightly so that she wouldn't cry wit
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 296 Things Changed
Lord Brarthroroz guided Lexi over to one of the chairs around the table and gestured towards the flap of the tent. "Make sure no one enters for the time being, Steve." He said with an air of resignation to his voice as he took a seat next to his daughter. Steve nodded expressionlessly as he moved to the open flap, released the material to close it and ducked through to stand outside. "You two should sit as well," Lord Brathroroz advised as he gestured to the seats across from Lexi, "This isn't easy for me to talk about." He continued with a grunt. Greyson and Allen moved to comply and took their seats next to each other, both of them focused on Lexi. Lord Brarthroroz sighed as he turned back to his daughter and cupped her face fondly. "Before I start, I want you to understand that before your mother and I had you, neither of us realized just how deeply we could love and the desire to protect you from harm eclipsed everything else in our lives completely." He said gently a
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 295 You Know That I Love You
It hadn't taken their force long to clear the halls and clean up the bodies that were left behind. The losses had been minimal on their part and considering the forces that they had thought they would be up against, their plans had meant that they had been far better equipped than the coven itself. The Coven had left very few prisoners alive, and the ones that were still breathing were in pretty bad shape. Lexi and the other healers and medics had done what they could but there was no growing back limbs…no matter how proficient of a shifter you were. Lord Brarthroroz had stationed huge numbers of his daemons within the winding passageways and caverns that the coven had previously inhabited and returned to the surface with his portalmancer Steve at his side. He strode angrily across the makeshift camp to the command tent and paused at the entrance, glancing across at the medical tent where Lexi had been working. Currently, she was cleaning her hands off as her mates watched
Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate CHAPTER 294 You Disgust Me
She stood and with one last look at the lifeless body below her, turned her attention to the chaos at the other side of the room. Narcissa had no problems keeping the attacks of the wolves at bay and Lexi could feel the emotions of the past few minutes bubbling wildly inside of her as she stormed towards her, her eyes blazing furiously. Her father was still making little headway against Eromaug, but she wasn't concerned about his survival, he was more than capable of taking care of himself against his bastard of a brother. Narcissa on the other hand…she had a lot to fucking answer for. Lexi strode through the fighters battling the twisted Daemons that had emerged from the shadows, throwing her magick lazily towards the monstrosities as she passed, a sneer curling at her lips as the shifters watched her in terrified awe. It wasn't long until Narcissa noticed her approach and her face split into a sneer that matched Lexi's as she swept her arm in front of her, knocking the ma
