Alpha Nocurne's Contracted Mate

Chapter 280 I Won’t Reject You

The muffled sound of angry voices seemed to drift around Lexi as she fought to open her eyes.

She blinked in confusion as the canopy of leaves above her came into focus and she frowned, her headache intensifying as she did so.

The irritated m*oan that came from her l*ips at least seemed to make the hum of noise around her stop as the concerned faces of her father and Allen came into focus.

“You’re awake? How do you feel?” Allen asked anxiously as she slowly sat herself up and looked around her, trying to piece together what had happened.

All of a sudden, the memory of the little girl in her mothers arms and the flood of devastating power that she had unleashed filled her mind and panicked, she grabbed hold of Allen’s arm.

“Please tell me you got her. Please tell me I didn’t kill her.” Allen’s m*outh set into a grim line as Lexi’s face crumpled.

“Don’t worry, I managed to get her to safety,” a voice that she hadn’t been sure she would ever hear again said as she whipped her head around to face him, “I wasn’t quick enough to avoid being caught by your… abilities though.”

Lexi could have wept with joy as her eyes connected with the nonchalant figure casually hunched over with his elbows resting on his knees, whilst a man that she didn’t recognize tended to the burns on his back and side.

“Greyson?!” She whispered in a mix of disbelief and relief.

“Last time I checked,” he nodded with a smirk as he lifted his eyes to meet her gaze.

“I thought…” Lexi’s voice cracked as she was unable to finish the sentence.
