Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 254 Coincidence

Felix led the way and as soon as the door opened, they were assaulted with the sickly-sweet metallic stench of blood and Lexi tried her best not to gag.

“I swear she was right here!” Felix replied as he gestured to the bloody mess on the bed.

Felix looked at him with uncertainty, but even he had to admit that there was no way that Allen or Adam could have pulled something like this off.
