Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 13 As You Wish, Princess

“Or perhaps I came at the perfect time.” It continued with a hint of amusement.

Ann’s eyes widened. She recognized that voice! Of all the times he could have arrived, Alpha Nocturne chose now.

“I don’t know who the f*ck you think you are but this has nothing to do with you so back off!” Brad snarled as he slowly turned around.

Ann heard an excited squeal and as she glanced across at Lexi, she noticed that she wore an expression of delighted horror as she stared expectantly at the two males in front of her.

Ann wished the ground would swallow her whole where she stood as she turned with morbid interest to see where how this would play out.

Adam stood his ground, staring impassively at Brad’s shaking figure as it turned to face him. A wry smile found its way onto his face as Brad locked eyes with him and froze.

“What… this has nothing to do with you Alpha Nocturne. It’s simply a spat between two mates, that’s all. It’s nothing serious.” Brad offered, the tremor in his voice giving his nervousness away.

Lexi sniggered.

“Don’t lie, Brad. Ann rejected you, for sticking your d*ck in her sister and getting her pregnant.” She grinned, her eyes flashing wickedly as she spoke.

Brad growled in Lexi’s direction as Adam took on a thoughtful expression and jammed his hands into his pockets. He cocked his head and dragged his eyes over Brad’s disheveled appearance and tutted loudly, shaking his head sadly.

“Is this how the young Alpha’s conduct themselves these days?” He questioned with a raised eyebrow. “It’s a pity… standards have really fallen since I last visited other packs.”

Lexi clapped excitedly and Ann felt a pang of pity for Brad.
