Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

Felix trailed behind the figures of Allen and Lexi still bickering quietly and he smiled ruefully to himself.

That should have been him and Aoife… minus the bickering of course.

He had to admit, he shared the same confusion as Ann did. Why was Aoife taken out of all of them?

If they had wanted to make a significant impact on the Dubois family then surely whoever it was would have gone after him? There had been plenty of opportunities while he was dealing with the rogues at the border with Adam. Surely the Enclave was a more risky target.

But, what if they hadn’t been aiming for the Dubois family and had instead been aiming for disruption within the Veritas family line? He scowled as his mind ran with possibilities. If that was the case though then they wouldn’t have chosen Aoife as a target because it would have minimal impact…other than preventing a possible alliance after years of tolerable neutrality.

Had that been their goal? Could it have been a case of mistaken identity? Had Ann been their target and the assassin had merely got the wrong room?

Felix sighed in frustration and brought his fists together, cracking his knuckles to relieve some tension as his wolf’s frantic thought process did nothing to ease his own anxiousness.

“Felix?” Alien’s voice interrupted his thought process.

“Yeah?” He answered a little defensively, before taking a steadying breath to help calm his thoughts,

“Sorry, I’m a little distracted… my wolf isn’t helping.” he grimaced apologetically.
