Alpha Nocturneâs Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter â 201 Little Royal Pups
Neither one of them ventured out of the room for the rest of the day, both of them enjoying the pleasure
of each otherâs company in every way that they could think of.
Lexi had lost count of the number of times that she had found herself begging Allen for more, and he
happily indulged her every whim.
The omegaâs had been generous in providing for their needs while they had been holed up in the
bedroom, knocking briefly on the door once before leaving them to it, letting them know that there was
a meal left outside of the door for them once they came up for air.
Lexi was quietly impressed at how the pack seemed to run as a well-oiled machine, with the lower
ranking members excited to see their leaders happy, without even the barest hint of jealousy from
anyone⦠at least in Lexiâs case anyway.
She was almost disappointed in a way. She hadnât been able to stick up for Ann when she had a tough
time here initially thanks to Narcissaâs covenâs meddling, and she had secretly hoped that they might
rear their ugly heads again so that both she and her father could put them in their places.
She supposed it was a good thing though really, not having to worry about being stabbed in the back at
every turn⦠unless you were Ann. Lexi marveled at how calm and collected Ann was in public while
she faced the clean-up from her fatherâs incompetency.
If it had been her in such a high-ranking position, Lexi was sure that she would have just kicked
everyone out of their positions, or exiled them for the fun of it They were supposed to protect the
vulnerable and the less fortunate in their positions, not stand idly by and watch people suffer as they
lived in the lap of luxury.
âPenny for your thoughts?â Allen murmured as he moved a stray strand of hair from across her face.
âWho says Iâm thinking about anything,â Lexi grinned impishly up at him.
âYour face tells me everything that I need to know. The frown, the pursed lips, the dangerous glint in
your eyes that looks suspiciously like youâre planning a brutal murderâ¦â Allen listed off on his fingers in
a teasing tone.
Lexi snorted.
âI was just thinking that I wouldnât want to do Annâs job even if you paid me.â
âNo? Well, I suppose it will eventually be the same for you with your father, wonât it7 When he⦠steps
down from the throne wonât it become yours?â
Lexi looked at him for a long time before she answered. Truthfully she hadnât really considered this and
she certainly had never brought the conversation up with her father. She had already lost her mother at
a young age, and she certainly wasnât ready to confront the possibility of losing her father as well.
âThatâs not something weâve discussed actually, and besides, Iâm not sure I want to be in charge of a
horde of Daemons and their antics,â Lexi answered truthfully.
âI can just see you as a demon princess, you know,â Allen said as he gazed down at her sincerely.
âWith a long flowing gown and sparkly little tiara?â Lexi snorted in amusement, âfâk off Allen. Iâm hardly
dainty. Youâre more likely to see me with a pair of demonic wings and a big stabby sword. I think thatâs
far more suited to my personality, donât you?â
âI think a cactus is far more suited to your personality actually,â Allen teased as he rolled off the bed to
dodge the slap that Lexi sent his way, âIt matches your personality perfectly. Prickly and painful.â
âOh really? Such a cocky little bastard now youâve got your d**k wet arenât youââ Lexi shot back with a
smirk, âAnd what about your personality, hmm?â
âAh, but we arenât talking about me, are we?â He laughed.
âYou might not be, but maybe itâs something we should discuss. I mean, if you get any more self-
righteous Allen, Iâm seriously going to think about persuading Adam to have you committed to a
retirement home with all the other old, retired wolves so you can sit around and grumble about how
despicable and dreadful things are now.â Lexi teased mercilessly. âHey! Iâm not that old you knowâ¦â
Allen scowled as she laughed outrageously on the bed.
âNo? You could have fooled me Beta boy. Perhaps Iâll treat you to a pair of slippers and a pipe so you
can sit in your rocking chair and play chess with them too.â âYouâre brutal you knowââ Allen grumbled as
the sound of his phone vibrating sounded from the bedside table.
âAh, saved by the phone. Such a pity⦠I have plenty more where that came fromâ Lexi giggled as Allen
rolled his eyes and grabbed his phone from the side.
As soon as he had read the message from Adam, he sighed and sank down on the edge of the bed,
typing out a quick reply.
âIs everything okay?â Lexi asked in a softer voice. She had seen a new, wild side to Allen that she
craved with every fiber of her being, but as soon as he switched back into serious work mode, she felt
the tinge of disappointment and apprehension in the pit of her stomach.
âYeah, everythingâs fine, donât worry.â
âWell, your face says otherwise.â Lexi mimicked his tone with the same phrase he had used on her only
a few minutes earlier.
Allen chuckled and turned to face her, taking herby surprise and pulling her close to plant a kiss on her
lips. âI promise you, itâs nothing to worry about at all Lexi. Ann has gone into heat so she and Adam will
be out of action for a few days. Weâll be heading over in the morning to support them however we can.â
âHeat7â Lexi frowned, âSo, wait a minute, Ann and Adam are pretty much gonna fâk until itâs out of her
system and we have to take on their workload?â Allen roared with laughter, and it took him a few
minutes before he was able to recover his senses long enough to answer her properly.
âItâs a little more complicated than that, but essentially yes,â he answered finally, clutching his sides to
try and stop the ache from laughing.
âWell, itâs alright for someâ¦â Lexi grumbled. âChances are youâre going be an Aunty soon,â Allen said
with a knowing smile.
âWait, what? Are you fââg seriousâ Lexi replied.
âDeadly serious. Now sheâs in heat, itâs her most fertile time. I can guarantee that we are going to have
little royal pups running around our feet very soon.â Allen said with the biggest
smile on his face that Lexi had ever seen.
