Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 52 The Daemon Lord

As the haze cleared around the two figures in front of them, Lexi squealed and ran forward, pulling the towering figure into a hug as the man beside him looked on with an impassive expression on his face.

Lexi’s father cut a truly imposing figure, broad-shouldered, bulging muscles as far as the eye could see, and an expression that threatened an untimely death as he stared impassively towards Adam and Ann.

‘Holy fuckballs, he’s a big bastard!’ Maeve exclaimed in an awe-filled voice.

‘Shut up, Maeve! What if they can hear you?! I don’t know what powers or abilities a Daemon Lord has and nor do you!’ Ann replied with panic in her voice.
