Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 54 A Concealment Curse

“Adam, please. It’s not going to go well if you’re disrespectful in his home. Imagine how you would react if someone growled at you in your own home. You would be absolutely furious! You were very nearly going to put an end to a longstanding member of your Elder Council for daring to question you. Be reasonable. Please.” Ann pleaded softly as she placed a hand on his

arm.

He seemed to instantly relax and took a moment to school his emotions properly. Ann was right. This could be the first step to securing better relations with at least this realm of Daemons. Who knew what benefits that it might bring his Pack? He couldn’t afford to risk ruining this because of his temper.

“I’m sorry, Lord Brarthroroz, I’m still a little on edge,” Adam said finally with a half bow towards where the Daemon Lord stood.

Lord Brarthroroz waved his hand dismissively and shrugged.

“It’s fine. If it wasn’t I would have reacted, but your apology is appreciated non the less. Now, the door to your left is the bedroom where you will need to… what do you call it? Mating and marking?” He asked curiously.

Lexi nodded and giggled as Ann’s cheeks blushed a furious shade of red.

“Don’t worry, sugar, no one will be watching.” She whispered behind her hand into Ann’s ear.

Ann swatted her away as the two men turned to look at them with raised eyebrows.

“Don’t you think we should sit them down and discuss exactly what will happen, Papa? I don’t want them to feel like they don’t know exactly what’s going to happen.”

Lord Brarthroroz nodded and gestured to the door on the left.

“Let’s sit comfortably at least while we discuss this properly. I want to find out a little more about this curse that plagues you, Alpha.” He said darkly as he strode purposefully through the doorway with Ann and Lexi following.

Adam hung back a little while as the color drained from his face.
