All Chapters of Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

　　The murmurs in the council chamber had faded to an almost deafening silence as Ann and Lexi made their way to their allotted seats at the front of the room.　　Although the Elders wouldn't have noticed, as Ann took her seat, she picked up the minute details in Lexi's body language that showed just how uncomfortable she was in this position, but she hid it well.　　To the casual observer, she would still appear as the fiery and opinionated half-Daemon that people had heard so many whispers about lately.　　"Thank you all for coming." Ann's voice cut across the chamber, echoing loudly above their heads.　　"It's not as if we had much choice, your grace. If you could give us a little more notice…"　　"Oh, it's notice you want?" Ann smiled serenely although her eyes flashed with a dangerous light as Maeve simmered below the surface, "Perhaps if you had cleared the Rogues at the first instance then meetings wouldn't have to be called so abruptly."　　The rustle of cloaks could be heard and awkw

　　As soon as the doors closed behind Lexi and she was left in the relative darkness of the training room, she let out a breath that she hadn't known she had been holding.　　She was still furious about the way some of the Elders thought about her and the other hybrids within the city, but she was positive that not all of them felt the same way.　　Even if it was only a small percentage of Elders that eventually sided with her and Ann, that was all that mattered. Even one person could make a huge difference if they worked hard and acted intelligently.　　She really didn't want to go back to Allen in this mood, he would only fuss over her and it irritated her when men hovered around her, unsure of what to do with themselves.　　She liked the fire of their heated banter, it got her riled up in all of the best ways and she didn't want to be stuck with an image in her head of a submissive Allen…that would just ruin the whole thing for her.　　Lexi smirked to herself as she made her way further i

　　Allen sat in one of the quieter bar areas staring morosely at the bottle of whisky in front of him wishing desperately that he hadn't laid eyes on the scene that greeted him when he poked his head around the door to make sure that Lexi was okay.　　He had run into Ann in the corridor on his way back with Adam, and she had filled them in on the less-than-desirable outcome of the council meeting. He was furious for her and also concerned. She might be a tough cookie, but somewhere, underneath all that hard exterior was s fragile woman, he was sure of it.　　As soon as Ann had mentioned just how bothered she had been, Allen made his excuses and set off to the training room that Ann had pointed him to.　　He hadn't intended to interrupt her, not unless she was really upset, but his wolf was restless and he just had to make sure that she was okay. 　　But when he had poked his head around the door, and seen Greyson with her…　　He wasn't proud of it, but he fled.　　Orvar was furious that anoth

　　Allen's head shot up and the room spun dangerously around him but he forced himself to focus.　　'That's impossible.' He murmured as he felt Orvar scratching insistently at the inside of his head. 　　"No, it's not. Lexi is part Daemon and part Witch. As my daughter, she holds the soul of my realm and the power that I carry with me, as well as the soul of her mother and the power that her line carried with her." He tried to explain, holding a hand up to silence Allen as he opened his mouth to interrupt.　　"When I die, ALL of my power will transfer to Lexi, as well as the centuries of knowledge that I hold, as well as those of our ancestors. You should know that our line goes back millennia Allen, one of the oldest in Daemon history actually. That's a lot for her to take on."　　Allen blinked at him with wide eyes as Lord Brarthroroz continued.　　"It's the same with the soul she inherited from her mother. She came from a long line of incredibly powerful witches, natural witches at that,

Lexi stiffened as a wave of dread washed over her. How was it possible to be this turned on whilst also feeling this bad about being caught in the act?　　"Allen... wait..." She objected as she tried to push him away and talk to him, but he only held onto her tighter, his lips and fingers making her legs weak with their careful attention to her sensitive zones.　　"Lexi... it's okay… I mean, Of course, I would rather things were different, but your father explained enough that Orvar is a little more accepting of it, although admittedly very begrudgingly." He mumbled with her nipple still firmly ensconced in his mouth.　　"We need to talk about this..." Lexi protested weakly as she gasped and her hands flew to his head, clenching a fistful of hair between her fingers as he showed no mercy.　　"Fuck Allen.."　　She felt him smile against her skin as he moved his mouth across to her other breast and slid his free hand down her stomach, seeking the parts between her legs that were already slick
