Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Chapter 254

Chapter 254 Coincidence

Felix led the way and as soon as the door opened, they were assaulted with the sickly-sweet metallic stench of blood and Lexi tried her best not to gag.

“NO!” Felix shouted in disbelief as he ran towards the bed, leaving bloody footprints in the blood that had pooled on the floor.

“She was right here!” He wailed in anguish as Lexi and Adam exchanged a look before venturing further inside the room.

“Felix?” Lexi asked, the unspoken question in her voice hanging heavily in the air above them.

“I swear she was right here!” Felix replied as he gestured to the bloody mess on the bed.

“I hope that rules us out as suspects in this Felix, we’ve been with you the whole time,” Adam commented carefully as he swept his gaze around the room.

Felix looked at him with uncertainty, but even he had to admit that there was no way that Allen or Adam could have pulled something like this off.

“This… I don’t remember seeing this…” Felix frowned as he reached for the dagger that lay partially hidden under the pillow, “It could have moved when I… had my final moments with Aoife though.” He admitted softly, silently cursing at himself for not being more observant when he came across her body.

“It’s understandable, don’t think too much about what you should or shouldn’t have done Felix. You were distraught. No wolf thinks rationally at the time of their mate’s passing.”

Lexi tiptoed carefully past them and through the congealing blood on the floor to squint carefully at the dagger. There was no way that she was removing her hand from her nose, for all the good that it did her.

“Can you not smell that?” She asked incredulously to the two males at her side. “Smell what?” Felix asked with a baffled expression, “If you mean the blood…”
