Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 223 Thank You For Being You

After the Elders had been informed of Linus’s trial being scheduled for the following

day, and no new issues were raised, Ann and Lexi left the council chambers.

Lexi had seethed silently, a murderous aura exuding from every pore on her body as

Ann had tried to wrap things up quickly so she could get her friend somewhere

relatively safe so that she could explode without judgment. Ann glanced across at her

friend, who strode furiously forwards, the vivid crimson of her eyes still burning

brightly.

“Do you want to go and hit things until you feel a little better?” Ann asked softly. Lexi

snorted.

“Unless part of the beating involves a knife in between the eyes of those bigoted

motherf*uc*kers then I’m not in the mood.” She hissed, not breaking her stride.

‘She’ll probably end up pinning Allen to the bed and giving him the wildest night of his

life to cool off.’ Maeve sniggered as Ann sighed quietly.

“How about a drink? Do you want to go into the city and find a bar to drink in until you

stop caring? We can go and watch the pretty boy’s at the dance bar that you like?”

Ann suggested playfully.

Two things that never failed to put Lexi in a good mood were copious amounts of

alcohol and the beautiful men that frequented some of the livelier spots in town. It

wasn’t really Ann’s cup of tea, but she would do anything to ease her friend’s pain, if

only for a short time.

Lexi snorted again and stopped, whirling to face Ann.

“I highly doubt that Allen would approve of me gallivanting around town to drool over

the pretty boys that I can look at but not touch, and Adam will like it even less if I drag

my best friend along because she’s probably got a teeny tiny little bun or ten in the

oven baking that he helped to make.” She snapped.

Ann blinked at her friend in shock and stifled a
