Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 123 Welcome to the Dark Moon Pack

The number of people with access to the sensitive information that contained the details that the person would have needed in order to successfully sabotage his business interests was incredibly low.

Added to that was the fact that security measures at the pack were so tightly controlled it could only have been someone n the inside and close to him, Adam found himself becoming more and more guarded toward the man that he once regarded as his closest friend.

He scowled deeply out of the window at the passing scenery as the memories of that difficult time resurfaced. He never had found out who had been behind all of those issues. They had simply stopped without warning and no matter how much he tried to bait the culprits into acting again, they never resurfaced.

The cessation of attacks certainly didn’t correspond with any deaths or hospitalizations, or power balance shifts within the boards of directors, so he had been left wondering ever since.

As they pulled into the long driveway up to the pack house, his wolf instantly acknowledged his Beta before they had even arrived. It was a strange feeling. His wolf’s happiness and pride were infectious.

As soon as they saw Allen waiting outside the pack house, Adam couldn’t resist linking him and allowing his wolf, Baldur, to join the conversation.

‘Thanks for keeping things steady here, Allen, it’s appreciated.’

Adam felt his surprise at the rare link from his Alpha and as soon as he had recovered, he replied, i

‘No problem, Alpha. We’re a team. Did everything go to plan?’ he asked as the faintest trace of concern slipped into his tone.

Adam smiled as he let Baldur answer him, and leaned forward to watch his reaction as the car pulled up at the base of the steps.

After a moment’s hesitation, Baldur answered in a gruff and gravelly voice, that Adam knew Allen had never heard before this moment.

‘It went better than any of us could have expected, my loyal Beta. Thank you for your diligence all of these years.’

Adam watched as Allen visibly jumped and stared open -mouthed at the car pulling up in front of him before practically running down the steps and flinging the door open eagerly, causing everyone except Adam to jump in surprise.

“What in the f*uc*king seven hells are you doing, Beta boy?! Are you trying to k*il*l me?!” Lexi roared furiously.

Adam roared with laughter as Allen fixed him with an intense look.

“Was that really you, Adam?” He asked a little breathlessly as the other occupants of the car stared in bemusement between them both.

Adam grinned, allowing his usually cool demeanor to fade in front of his beta, and allowed Baldur to sit side by side with him as he met his BEta’s gaze.

“Yes, Allen. It was me.” He grinned

“Then… the curse…?” Allen asked in a voice that seemed almost too afraid to speak of it out loud in case it destroyed whatever had happened to Adam.

“It appears that it is broken, Allen.” Adam chuckled. “Look, you can have your little bromance outside if you don’t mind. I’d rather not be discussing all of this in the back of an SUV if you don’t mind.” Lexi scowled as she pushed her way past Allen who had been blocking the doorway.

Adam chuckled as he took hold of Ann’s hand and squeezed it rea*s*suringly as they waited for Lord Brarthroroz to exit the vehicle and followed behind him. Allen glanced at Lord Brarthroroz a little warily as he took in his huge frame. Even by werewolf standards, this man was ma*s*sive. He looked between Lexi and the newcomer and frowned. They were obviously close but how close, he wasn’t sure.

He was about to open his mouth and ask for himself, but Adam beat him to it.

“Allen, this is Lord Brarthroroz, Daemon Lord and also Lexi’s father. Lord Brarthroroz, this is my Beta Allen.” Adam said genially as he wrapped his arm around Ann and pulled her in as close to his side as he possibly could. “A Daemon Lord?” Allen almost squeaked. “Are you sure..” “Enough Allen. If it weren’t for both Lexi and her father, then we most likely wouldn’t have got Ann back in one piece, nor would Narcissa and Ada be in the dungeons of the Royal Elders Court.”

Allen’s guarded face suddenly became wide-eyed as he whistled lowly.

“There’s a lot to catch you up on, Allen.” Ann chuckled, “In the glaring absence of my own family, Lexi and her father are the closest thing to the family that I have. I would be deeply indebted if you would treat them as such and at least give them the benefit of the doubt until you have gotten to know them a little better.” Ann said smoothly.

Allen nodded and bowed slightly towards where Lord Brarthroroz stood.

“Welcome to the Dark Moon Pack, Lord Brarthroroz. If I can help in any way whilst you are here, don’t hesitate to ask. Let me show you to the guest quarters and I’ll make arrangements for food and drinks

as soon as your settled.” Allen offered, quickly slipping into the diplomatic mindset that he had honed to perfection over the years.

As Allen strode past Lexi, she linked her arm in his and he visibly stiffened as she leaned in close and whispered in his ear.

“Just remember, Beta boy, if you offend him in the slightest way you might just accidentally on purpose spontaneously combust,” she crooned into his ear, “If you fancy a different kind of heat, however, I’m sure I can help you with that…”

Allen blushed a furious shade of red as he tried to extract himself from Lexi’s grip, glancing nervously towards where Lord Brarthroroz stood as she schooled her face into a picture of innocence. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Lexi,” her father admonished with a chuckle, “Leave the poor puppy alone. You’d eat him alive.”
