Chapter 214 You’ve Fallen For Me?

“We’ll discuss the issue of Felix’s brother later on, but for now, I would request that

you all treat him with respect whilst we work on the solution for the rogues.” Ann said

as she allowed her gaze to drift slowly over Allen before settling on Lexi and frowning

at the look of rebellion in her eyes.

“That means you as well Lexi.” Ann continued with a meaningful look. Lexi snorted

and rolled her eyes.

“I’ll be civil, but he’ll get no respect from me.”

Queenie, so none of your ridiculous rules and pompous ceremony will ever apply to

in front of her.

whether you like it or not, you are a part of the royal family”

Lexi laughed, tipping her head back as she did so before meeting Ann’s steady gaze

with incredulity. “I’m about as far away from your family and the Enclave’s twisted

schemes as anyone here. Even the omega’s here are closer to the s**t that’s gone

down than I am!” She snorted derisively

“Lexi, listen to me. You are my best friend and now, you are also mated to my mate’s

Beta. Ordinarily, in pack circumstances, there would be
