Chapter 250 Something Terrible is Going to Happen

Lexi focused intently on the screen of her phone as she picked idly at the snacks that Aoife had left for her.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for her and Allen keeping her sanity intact after this had happened to Ann, she didn’t know what she would have done. She had already been forced to ask her father for help in the few hours that had followed Ann’s poisoning when, for the first time since she was a child, her abilities had threatened to overwhelm her as both souls erupted in a helpless, yet furious, rage.

If it hadn’t been for Aoife’s hasty dampening spellwork that had mitigated most of her magickal energy in the area around her, then the destruction could have been astronomical.

As it was, the waiting room they had been ushered to had suddenly been in dire need of renovations, and Lexi had promised that she would foot the cost personally

As much as she hated to admit it, she needed Greyson at her side as well as Allen. She was still angry with him for being so pigheaded but she also acknowledged how strikingly similar they were in some aspects of their personalities.

She was positive now that Allen was mated to her Daemonic soul, as her abilities had flared and calmed fairly quickly with him present, it was the magickal soul that needed taming. She was certain that Greyson’s commanding and firm personality when under pressure was sure to pull its rebellious nature into line.

She looked up at the machines and watched the steady pulsating of the line on Ann’s heart monitor, reassuring herself that everything was still fine with her before her gaze moved to the machine that kept round-the-clock monitoring on the babies that were growing well inside of Ann’s belly.

She smiled to herself in satisfaction as the door to Ann’s room opened, startling her as it banged against the wall heavily.

She whirled to face the doorway and was greeted with the sight of Allen breezing through it with his arms full of various items, with only his head peeking above the pile with his chin holding the precariously stacked pyramid together in his arms.

“Need a hand with that big boy?” She sniggered as he carefully deposited everything on the table and glowered at her.

“Not now I don’t.” He grumbled as he began arranging things into distinct piles, and Lexi frowned as she watched him curiously.
