Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 53 Like Father, Like Daughter

As they stepped through onto the other side of the portal, the cool air was a welcome feeling as a wave of nausea washed over both Ann and Adam.

Lexi steadied Ann as her legs wobbled unsteadily and as her father stepped through the portal he chuckled at Adam’s suddenly pale face.

He clapped him on the back warmly and grinned, revealing a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

“You get used to the sensation after a while… although I really wasn’t sure how badly it would affect you wolves.” He added thoughtfully before snorting. “It could be worse, at least you came through in one piece.”

Adam stared at him blankly, for once lost for words.

“Papa, don’t tease them like that. You know it’s incredibly rare to end up with missing limbs and besides, that usually happens with inexperienced portalmancers. Steven has been with you for centuries now hasn’t he? Sounds like you’re questioning his abilities.” Lexi giggled as Steven raised an eyebrow.

“Oh my goodness, Papa, his face moved!” Lexi feigned shock as she covered her mouth with her hands and giggled.

“Yes, it does that sometimes, when he realizes that he is actually alive and not just forced to stand in one room in the darkness…” Her father commented dryly as he turned to look at his currently harrassed Portalmancer.

Steven shifted uncomfortably on the spot, his white hair barely shifting with the movement and his robes creating a faint rustling as he moved.
