Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 251 Why You Left Her

Allen had finally managed to persuade Lexi to get some shut-eye while he was there and her head was resting on his lap as he kept watch over her best friend.

He scrolled through his phone casually, checking through any notifications from the businesses and pack, and waiting for any messages from Adam.

He didn’t need to wait for very long though, as about 30 minutes after Lexi had fallen asleep, Adam burst through the doors with Felix in tow.

They were both unshaven and dirty, clearly having dropped everything and sped back as soon as they had received the news.

The commotion Adam made when he burst through the doors woke Lexi with a start and they both watched helplessly as a roar of grief and fury tore from Adam’s chest as he took in the sight of his mate so vulnerable and unwell, reliant on all these machines to ensure that she was still safe.

He dropped to his knees at Ann’s bedside, reaching for her hand as silent sobs wracked his body and he rested his forehead on the crisp white sheets of the bed.

“Ann… f*uc*k… I’m sorry… I should have stayed…”

Felix stood silently in the background as Allen and Lexi exchanged a look, knowing full well that Adam’s reactions to anything they said were most likely going to be emotional and irrational, but Allen knew that his job as his Beta, was to keep him balanced and help him through this.

Whatever it took.

He took a d*eep breath as he stood, mentally preparing himself for whatever Adam might throw at him.

“Adam, there are signs of improvement as each day passes. She’s awake a little longer each day…” Allen began tentatively but stopped as Adam whirled to face him and the eyes of his wolf stared back at him accusingly.
