Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 227 Different From The Hybrids

Lord Brarthroroz took in Allen’s dour expression with a heavy heart. He could understand the complex emotions that Allen must be feeling, if only because he knew how he felt when his own mate had received more than just passing attention from various men before he revealed himself and claimed her as his own.

His wolf was sure to be driving him insane as well. With even the small amount of information he had about Allen, he knew that he was far from the “roll over and play nice” type of guy and he expected his wolf to be the same.

Yet, what puzzled him was that Allen seemed to be avoiding the issue, rather than confronting it head-on.

“Tell me Allen, have you discussed this with Lexi?” He asked as gently as his deep baritone voice would allow.

He was sure that the two of them sitting together with two bottles of whisky separating them must present an odd sight to the little omegas that scurried about the place, but they did a good job of pretending not to notice.

Allen shook his head miserably.

“No. I can’t bear the thought of it… what if…” he paused and took a long gulp out of his glass, “What if she rejects me?” He whispered in a terrified voice.

Lord Brarthroroz suppressed the chuckle that he felt rising in his chest. It had been a long time since he had seen a drunk wolf and they always went one of two ways, either incredibly angry or incredibly insecure. It only ever seemed to be the females that turned into happy drunks.

weakly as Lord Brarthroroz easily lifted his large frame from the chair and steered him forcefully towards the door, tipping the omegas on the way out for their patience and care. Allen sniggered at the way they swooned and batted their eyelashes at the enormous daemon lord but straightened his face quickly as soon as he registered the disappointed glare that was being sent his
