Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Chapter 253 Someone to Blame

Allen stared at him in shock for a second as the furious figure of Felix soared through the air toward him.

He just couldn’t wrap his head around it. What the hell had happened in those few short minutes that he had been gone that would explain why he was covered in blood and why he was in such a murderous rage.

He managed to sidestep Felix’s initial assault, moving away from Ann’s bedside and trying to defend himself as Adam snarled in fury at the violence that was occurring in such close quarters to his bedridden, vulnerable, and pregnant mate.

Felix swung wildly at Allen and then at Adam as they tried to restrain him to find out exactly what was going on.

“Felix calm down! What the hell happened?!” Adam roared as he dodged a wild punch from the clearly distraught Alpha in front of him.

As much as Baldur wanted to meet his violence with violence, the cloying scent of blood that hung around Felix told him that something horrific must have happened. If it concerned Aoife, then this was an emotional response, his wolf’s attempt at finding someone to blame.

This was why it was paramount for an Alpha to have a strong Beta at their side, to counter the irrational and bloodthirsty rage before it escalated, but Felix’s Beta wasn’t here. He was finishing clearing the few remaining rogues before he would make his way back to the Enclave.

He would have to rely on his and Allen’s capabilities to control this situation before it escalated further.

“Why?!” Felix roared, “Why Aoife? Whatever feud you have with my family did not concern her!”

“I don’t know what’s happened, but I can promise you we had nothing to do it!” Allen ground out through gritted teeth as he struggled with getting hold of his left arm, whilst Adam worked on the right.
