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.

“Papa! It feels like it’s been forever since I saw you properly!” Lexi squealed as the easily eight-foot-tall figure bent slightly and wrapped his arms around her warmly.

“It’s good to see you, little one.” The man rumbled as Lexi stepped backward and turned to grin at Ann and Adam.

“Guys, this is Papa, Papa, this is Adam and Ann.” Lexi beamed excitedly.

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.

“Ann, I have heard a lot about you over the years and I would like to thank you for providing Lexi with the stability that I could not give her. My realm would simply not have been safe for a child of mixed blood,” Lexi’s father said suddenly and very seriously, extending his arm and clasping her hands in one of his tightly.

“Erm, thanks?” Ann replied uncertainly, “Honestly, she provided me with as much stability as I did her, in fact, I consider her a sister more than a friend… erm… sir.” Ann gulped, a little intimidated by the man’s huge size.

‘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.
