Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 233 An Understanding Wife

Ann and Adam met Allen and Lexi in the corridor as they left their room, and made their way down to the entrance hall together.

Greyson was already there when they arrived and he eyed Allen furiously as Lexi avoided looking anywhere but at him. Ann frowned slightly at Lexi’s reaction. Had she missed something? Ann smiled warmly at him as he tore his eyes from where Lexi and Allen stood and greeted Ann properly.

“Good morning, my Queen. Preparations are almost complete and we are scheduled to leave shortly.” He announced stiffly.

“Thank you, Greyson. I’d appreciate it if you could report back as soon as you’re close to arriving, and give us an update as soon as you know what’s going on. If you think you need more

men, then let us know and we’ll send reinforcements from the packs that needed a little longer to gather their response teams.”

“Understood,” Greyson answered with a curt nod, his eyes almost staring straight through Ann as he spoke.

Ann frowned. She could feel the tension rolling off him, and considering his usually relaxed and jovial demeanor that she had encountered previously, this was more than a little unsettling. “Is everything okay, Commander Greyson?”

Greyson visibly tensed and cleared his throat before answering her.

“Yes, my Queen.”

‘Liar, liar, pants on fire,’ Maeve sang mockingly in Ann’s head before snorting in amusement, ‘Does he realize that he’s worse at lying than a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar trying to talk their way out of it?’

Ann stepped closer to Greyson and he stiffened at her approach as she leaned in a little closer.
