Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

Chapter 271 Soulstone

Despite the brave face that Lexi had put on, she had still needed a couple of days to recover as her energy levels were incredibly low. She had fallen asleep a few times when they had all been sat discussing how best to proceed and then been furious with herself afterwards.

One thing had been certain though, she was going to find Greyson whether Allen wanted her to or not.

They had come to a silent agreement about it, that neither one of them would mention it outright, but they would both participate in planning the expedition out there to take care of the sites.

Lord Brarthroroz would go with them, along with a handful of specialists from the Enclave, and a few of Lord Brarthroroz’s commanders would accompany them, for back up if needed.

Ann would stay behind with Adam and work on having the plans for the portal room in the Enclave approved by the council with Bartholomew’s help, and take a closer look at the finances required to get their military force up to scratch, so that they would be able to respond effectively if ever situations like this occurred again in the future.

When Felix’s men returned with the rest of their forces, they would restock their provisions and put together a new squad to liaise with Allen, Lexi and Lord Brarthroroz, and continue forward once the barriers were destroyed.

The following day they gathered in the same hallway that they had bid farewell to Greyson, Felix and Adam only a few weeks earlier as they left on their respective missions. Except this time, it was Ann, Adam and Bartholomew that stood solemnly in the hallway, waiting for their friends to appear.

Lord Brarthroroz sauntered casually through the doorway into the hall and grinned broadly at them as he approached.

“Seems like a nice morning for a quick jaunt into the woods and destroying some souls.” He quipped as he dug through his pockets, seemingly looking for something.
