Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

CHAPTER 166 This is My Home Too

They had spent a good few hour within the cell that held the corpse and once the

Elder’s questions had been exhausted for the day, Ann, Adam, Lexi, and Allen left to

have been able to share in my misery.”

Ann chuckled lightly and patted heron the back.

“I appreciate you coming here today though Lexi. It’s not really something that I could

share any meaningful insight into.” Lexi snorted.

“It’s fine. Despite what they might think of me and my Papa, we both want to help.
