Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 206 Not His Sins

By the time Lexi, Allen, and Lord Brarthroroz arrived at Bartholomew’s office, Adam

was already there. “Alpha.” Allen greeted him seriously with a nod of his head as they

filed in, Lexi and her father taking seats at Bartholomew’s sweeping gesture,

indicating for them to take their pick of any of the chairs that sat before him.

“Thanks for coming so quickly,” Adam said gratefully as he and Allen clasped their

forearms and took their respective seats opposite one another. “Well, seeing as how

you seem intent on getting my bestie knocked up so quickly, someone has to help you

handle things,” Lexi smirked as she lazily examined her nails.

Adam smiled wearily in her direction as he laughed lightly.

“It’s not like I have a choice in it. You try ignoring the primal urges of the souls inside

of us and let me know how well you do.” Lexi snorted loudly and fixed him with a no-

nonsense stare.

“I’m telling you now, mister furry, there’s no way I’d be rolling over and spreading my

legs just so my supposed ‘mate’ could put a baby inside of me.” she said vehemently

as she used her fingers to mimic quotation marks in the air as soon as she uttered the

word ‘mate’.

Adam glanced across at Allen with a raised eyebrow and felt a pang of pity for him at

the brief flicker of hurt that crossed his face. “It’s not as easy as you think Lexi, you’ll

find that out soon enough anyway,” Adam answered seriously as he turned back to

her with a frown. “It’s a primal, animalistic, urge to procreate for the survival of the

species, and if you’re mated to a wolf, then you too will experience a heat. Whether

you like it or not.”

Lexi snorted and shook her head as Adam continued, narrowing her eyes dubiously at

him.

“Besides, for Ann and I, we can’t really afford to wait for pups. We have a duty now, as

the heads of the royal family, as well as leaders of the Dark Moon, to ensure the line

remains strong and unbroken. A large family with multiple heirs means a direct,
