Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 212 Someone is a Little Jealous?

Despite his best efforts, Ann did not succumb to Adam’s less-than-subtle efforts to

force her into relaxation for the rest of the day.

She agreed to a compromise and didn’t leave the room until lunchtime, still concerned

that her absence had put additional strain on Lexi and Allen that they didn’t deserve

They had already been in the Enclave a full day without any input from her, let alone a

welcome, and she felt awful.

“Ann, slow down, they aren’t going anywhere.” Adam chastised gently as they swept

through the hallways. “I know, I just want to make sure that they know they have my

support if needed,” Ann answered absent-mindedly as she poked her head through

the c***k in the doorway of yet another room that lay at the side of the corridor but

found no sign of Lexi or Allen within.

“Besides, I need to talk with Lexi. I don’t think she fully understands what it means to

have Allen as a mate for her position in our society.” She muttered as she sighed

impatiently and closed the door, resuming her search with gusto as she strode forward

eagerly.

“Don’t you have any idea where they’ll be?” she asked over her shoulder as Adam’s

shoulders slumped in defeat slightly and he increased his pace a little in order to catch

up with her and walk at her side.

“No, I don’t. I know Lord Brarthroroz arranged for another session in the holding cells

with some of the geneticists and researchers this morning, I’m not sure if

Bartholomew will be with him or not, but as far as Lexi and Allen are concerned, I’ve

not had the opportunity to catch up with them today so I don’t know for sure.”

Ann hummed in displeasure.

“I think we should try Bartholomew’s office then.” She said after a few minutes of

direction, almost causing Adam to walk into her as
