Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 227 Different From The Hybrids

Lord Brarthroroz took in Allen’s dour expression with a heavy heart. He could understand the complex emotions that Allen must be feeling, if only because he knew how he felt when his own mate had received more than just passing attention from various men before he revealed himself and claimed her as his own.

His wolf was sure to be driving him insane as well. With even the small amount of information he had about Allen, he knew that he was far from the “roll over and play nice” type of guy and he expected his wolf to be the same.

Yet, what puzzled him was that Allen seemed to be avoiding the issue, rather than confronting it head-on.

“Tell me Allen, have you discussed this with Lexi?” He asked as gently as his deep baritone voice would allow.

Lord Brarthroroz suppressed the chuckle that he felt rising in his chest. It had been a long time since he had seen a drunk wolf and they always went one of two ways, either incredibly angry or incredibly insecure. It only ever seemed to be the females that turned into happy drunks.
