Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate By A E Randell Chapter 49

CHAPTER 49 I’m Your Family Too

Adam came to a stop in front of her, so close that their noses almost touched. She could feel his heavy exhalations as he battled with his fury and she sighed, bringing her hands up to rest on his arms.

“Listen. We were supposed to be a team… that’s what we contracted for. I can’t help if I don’t know what’s going on.”

The tension in the air was palpable for a few moments, the pressure that hung ominously above them was almost crushing, but with a sigh, it gradually began to dissipate.

He turned away abruptly and ran his fingers through his hair angrily.

“Your fucking step-sister…” He growled, his tone still furious.

Ann laughed darkly, throwing her hands in the air in frustration.

“Of course, it is… why didn’t I guess? What happened?”

Adam sank down on the sofa on the far wall and leaned heavily on the armrest, resting his forehead in the palm of his hand and not speaking for a while.

The silence extended between the two of them and when the deadly aura that rippled from him had dissipated completely, Ann made the decision to approach him, and sit next to him. He had comforted her when she was distraught, the least she could do was return the favor. Adam was distraught in his own way, and now, she had to figure out how to comfort him as effectively as he had her.

Ann took a seat next to him and rested her hand on his arm at the side of her. He didn’t move it away and she began to run her hand up and down his arm gently, hoping that the motion was soothing or at least reassuring for him.

When he turned his head to look at her, she wasn’t ready for the look of sadness that met her.
