Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

Chapter 267 The Corpse…

Ann and Adam had been mid discussion regarding potential baby names for each of the pups when a frantic looking Felix practically fell through the doors and into her room.

“They… f*uc*k… Jasper… it was him! He was here… he still IS here!” he rushed out between breaths almost incoherently as he leaned on the table as he tried to catch his breath.

Ann and Adam froze mid conversation as they took in his panicked appearance and they exchanged a look of concern.

“What the f**k has crawled up his a*ss?” Maeve grimaced as she flicked her ears in annoyance.

“Felix, slow down…” Ann began in a soothing tone but she was cut off by Felix’s furious glare.

“No, you don’t understand. He’s STILL HERE!” He yelled impatiently as Adam growled warningly at his tone.

“Growl all you want Adam, this is f*****g serious. He killed Aoife, but she wasn’t his target. He meant to kill Ann!”

“What?” Ann murmured in disbelief as Adam stiffened beside her and she could feel his unease rippling outwards like a discomforting blanket.

“Where?” Adam snarled, his eyes flashing gold Baldur’s fury at the threat to his mate and pups began to rise.

“I don’t know where he is now.” Felix hissed in frustration as he began to pace angrily
