Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 207 Hidden Talent

Moments after the door closed behind Adam, Bartholomew shared a look with Lord

Brarthroroz and they both stood and made their way to the door.

“You can stay here as long as you need to,” Bartholomew said pointedly as he

glanced at Allen, although Allen never lifted his eyes. “I’ll escort Lord Brarthroroz to

the holding cells downstairs and get him acquainted with the specimen we have down

there… although I’m not sure how much will be left of it. It does seem to be decaying

at rather an alarming speed.” He continued with a troubled expression.

“That happens when the magic dissipates from the necrotic flesh,” Lord Brarthroroz

shrugged casually, “Nothing to hold it all together anymore. That sort of magic can

only imitate life for so long.”

“Indeed.” Bartholomew grimaced before tearing his gaze from the emotionless face of

Allen and smiling softly at Lexi, “If you need anything at all.”

“Don’t worry Barty boy, I pretty much know where most things are here now. It doesn’t

take me long to map places in my head… hidden talent.” Lexi winked with a cheeky

grin.

“One of many I’m sure,” Bartholomew quipped with a wry smile before turning and

leaving with her father, the faint sound of his robes brushing against the stone floor

gradually fading away as the door shut gently behind them.
