Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 43 The Lack Of A Mating Mark

Adam insisted on driving Ann to work and as she looked at his profile as he focused on the road, her heart seemed to leap a little bit.

She still hadn’t found the right moment to discuss with him Lexi’s offer and the way things were going, it would probably be better to tackle the issue sooner rather than later.

There was only so long that they could both wear high-collared or high-necked clothing, people would start to get suspicious.

“Adam… I may have found an option to consider regarding the lack of a mating mark.” Ann started hesitantly.

“Oh? You’ve had more luck than Allen and I at least. Wherever we looked we drew blanks.” He frowned. “I suppose there’s not really a good reason to fake a mating mark is there?” He grimaced.

Ann chuckled despite her nervousness.

“Well, we aren’t entirely sure that you’re going to like the option…”

“Who’s we?” Adam interrupted quickly, “This cannot go any further, Ann. If anyone finds out…”

“Relax, Adam. I only spoke with Lexi. She’s a hybrid with a unique parentage that might actually be able to help us out with this.”

Adam was quiet for a little while before he grunted.

“Okay. What sort of hybrid?”

“Well, witch and Daemon,” Ann said as she watched Adam grip the steering wheel tightly.
