Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 39 The Scandal

He knew she was going to launch herself at A*n before she did it.

He had never moved so fast in his life.

The desperation he felt caused his heart to race uncontrollably as his wolf snapped and howled inside his head, frantic for him to intervene before it was too late.

He launched himself towards her and as he wrapped his arms around her, the impact of the collision knocked her off course.

They skidded across the banquet hall floor and collided with the wall to the side heavily. A*n’s body took the brunt of the impact and whatever had happened to force her to transform in that way began to recede.

In a matter of seconds, A*n had returned to normal and as she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the frowning face of Alpha Nocturne.

“Are you okay?” He asked, his arms still held securely around her.

“Yeah, I-I think so. My head hurts like hell though…” She grimaced.

Adam helped her to stand and checked her over as Lexi arrived next to them.

“A*n, that was cool and all but what the f*ck was that?!” Lexi breathed in awe.

“I’d like to know the same thing…” Adam said, his brows returning to a deep frown. A*n grimaced as she looked towards the royal table where her father stood, his nostrils flaring angrily.
