Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 32 The Bite Mark

Adam had disappeared shortly after their steamy session with his Beta, Allen, leaving behind two of his men as protection, despite A*n’s protests.

A*n wanted to talk to Adam about Lexi and get an idea of how he felt about any possible solution they might come up with regarding the lack of a mating mark.

Although it wasn’t an issue now, she knew it would be in the future. The elders weren’t st*pid, and neither were the pack members. Having a temporary fix would at least shield them from suspicion for that issue.

She would have to get through the s*upid engagement ceremony relatively unscathed though. An* couldn’t understand why her father would want to rub her mate’s betrayal in her face like this. It was such a cruel thing to do in her mind.

If she hadn’t ended up entangled with Adam, she wasn’t sure what sort of emotional state she would be in right now.

‘I don’t know why we have to go listen to them gloat anyway’ Maeve grumbled testily.

It’s expected that we attend all of the official functions. ‘A*n sighed, as she made her way through the common areas of the house and took a seat at the kitchen table, flicking her phone out.

‘Well, I expected my former mate not to shove his d*ck where it didn’t belong buuuuut…

‘Yes. I know, Maeve, we’ve been over this so many times. It’s over and done with now, have to move on. Geez, you’re like a dog with a bone…”
