Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 86 Security Dome

“Wait, what? Hold on Eva, what do you mean?”

Ann shook her head in disbelief as she pushed away from the glasspanel that Adam had pressed her against only moments earlier.

“Well, I knew that something wasn’t right as soon as it all kicked off. They had no business being there at all. So after everyone had left and we set about cleaning up, the guards that Alpha Nocturne left here for you, they offered to help me clean up. Matteus is lovely by the way, you know, the big sulky furball?”

“Yes, go on,” Ann answered patiently.

She was used to Eva’s elaborate way of retelling events and actually found it quite endearing. It was a nice change sometimes from the rigid work environment, just to sit with a coffee and catch up on tales from her social life.

“Okay, well, there was a little patch of blood left on the carpet where Ada had curled up, and as gross as it sounds, Matteus was disgustingly interested in it. Even his colleague called him out on it, I was honestly a little too shocked to say anything, but I probably would have done it eventually. Anyway, it turned out, that the blood wasn’t actually blood!” She whispered in a shocked voice. “Yeah, I’m aware that it wasn’t real blood…” Ann replied a little more harshly than she had intended, but it didn’t faze Eva in the slightest.

“Of course, because you already know you didn’t attack her, but the rest of the staff here didn’t know what to believe, especially with it being leaked to the press already..”
