Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 223 Thank You For Being You

After the Elders had been informed of Linus’s trial being scheduled for the following day, and no new issues were raised, Ann and Lexi left the council chambers.

Lexi had seethed silently, a murderous aura exuding from every pore on her body as Ann had tried to wrap things up quickly so she could get her friend somewhere relatively safe so that she could explode without judgment. Ann glanced across at her friend, who strode furiously forwards, the vivid crimson of her eyes still burning brightly.

“Do you want to go and hit things until you feel a little better?” Ann asked softly. Lexi snorted.

“Unless part of the beating involves a knife in between the eyes of those bigoted motherf*uc*kers then I’m not in the mood.” She hissed, not breaking her stride.

‘She’ll probably end up pinning Allen to the bed and giving him the wildest night of his life to cool off.’ Maeve sniggered as Ann sighed quietly.

“How about a drink? Do you want to go into the city and find a bar to drink in until you stop caring? We can go and watch the pretty boy’s at the dance bar that you like?” Ann suggested playfully.

Two things that never failed to put Lexi in a good mood were copious amounts of alcohol and the beautiful men that frequented some of the livelier spots in town. It wasn’t really Ann’s cup of tea, but she would do anything to ease her friend’s pain, if only for a short time.

Lexi snorted again and stopped, whirling to face Ann.
