Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 56 The Unfamiliar Territory

“Not actively… he’s tried… but…” Ann tried to explain as she glanced across at Lexi in annoyance and noticed a strange expression on her face as she looked thoughtfully at Adam. Lord Brarthroroz didn’t let the conversation go further though as he cleared his throat loudly and spoke.

“So a large amount of concealment is going on then, around both Alpha Nocturne and yourself it seems. I must say, this is all very curious. I don’t know of any active plots among the renegades that are going on in your realm, and the lords are not willing to move against your realm again.”

“Do you think we can help them with this too, Papa?” Lexi asked suddenly.

“It will require some reconnaissance on my end. I want to know exactly who I’m dealing with. It may be Witches but this has the taint of daemons behind it. There is clearly something more going on here.” Lord Brarthroroz frowned.

“Can’t we just kill the bitches and get on with it?!” Lexi exclaimed suddenly, hitting the side of the armchair violently as her eyes flared red.

“Patience, daughter, now where would the fun be in that? I want to know exactly who they are working for and when I find out, I am sure that there will be no objections from the rest of the Daemonic Council when I imprison them and spend the next few centuries making them pay for their crimes.” He grinned wickedly with a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Ann understood at that moment, that this wasn’t just Lexi’s Papa, this was a Daemon Lord that was perfectly capable of bringing a world to ruin if the urge took him. She swallowed nervously.

“So, what do we do now then?” She asked, failing to keep the trembling out of her voice as Adam squeezed her hand reassuringly.

“Simply wait. I will do what I need to do and I will let you know when you can move ahead. Is that agreeable, Alpha Nocturne?” Lord Brarthroroz asked calmly, his previous malice had vanished without a trace.

Adam nodded curtly.
