Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 30 Not Fated Mates

Ann’s heart sank as she realized that Alpha Nocturne had gotten all the way through the company building and actually made it into the area where her offices were located.

The fact that he was here at all was going to spread through the rumor mill at the company building like wildfire.

She groaned internally just imagining what sort of interrogation she was going to face from her father. She knew that her father disliked Alpha Nocturne, she had heard far too many rants over dinners together to think otherwise.

Now, he would want to know exactly why he was in his building and when he found out it was because of Ann … well, she shuddered to imagine the fallout.

At least she no longer had to worry about a wall of silence waiting for her when she got home and the sneaky tricks of her stepmother and stepsister.

“What are you doing here, Adam?” She asked with a sigh. He rushed over to her and stopped abruptly in front of her, just short of taking hold of her, but she could feel his eyes raking over her in an attempt to a*s*ses her for injuries.

“Are you hurt?” He asked gruffly.

His wolf sat just behind his eyes, glaring out menacingly. “Really, I’m fine. I’m sorry to have bothered you with all of this, I know you must be busy. It was Maeve, she can be a little… willful at times.”

Adam frowned.

“That’s not the version of events that I heard…”

“No? Well… you should learn to treat me as your Luna, shouldn’t you? I handled it. It’s no big deal.”
