Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 221 Luna Aoife

Whilst Adam and Allen left to make the necessary arrangements for the next day’s

departure, Bartholomew, Lexi, and Ann made their way to the council chambers.

“Don’t you ever find all this tedious?” Lexi asked with a sigh.

“What do you mean?”

“The same scenery day in and day out… I think I might go mad if we don’t get a break

soon, you know.” She whined, “I have no idea how you’ve done it for so long Bartyboy.”

Bartholomew chuckled good-naturedly.

“I can assure you that things are not usually this busy nor intense under normal

circumstances.”

“You hear that, Queenie? We’ve brought abnormal circumstances along with us.” Lexi

grinned as she nudged Ann in the side. “Who’d have thought, eh?”

Ann chuckled as they linked arms.

“Are we actually allowed out then? Or do we have to confine ourselves to these dusty

halls forever?” Lexi pressed with a grin.

“We can go out of course. Whether or not we have the time to or not, is a different

matter entirely.” Ann grimaced, “Seeing as how we’ve inherited a whole mess to clear

up, I have a feeling that the fun excursions will be few and far between unfortunately.”

“You know what they say though Ann, all work and no play makes Lexi a stabby

mess.” She grinned imploringly at Ann whilst she fluttered her eyelashes.

Ann sighed as she stared dubiously at her friend’s mischievous face.

“Fine, I’ll think of something after the boys leave tomorrow.” She relented finally with a

wry grin.

Lexi yelped happily as she wiggled her
