Alpha Nocturne's Contracted Mate

Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 266 Love All of You

A look of pure terror settled over Jasper’s face as Lexi’s hands slammed onto each temple and he

froze, the dagger that had been making painful progress around Alien’s face slipped out of his hand

and clattered to the ground noisily.

“No… this…” Jasper squeaked in terror, disbelief written all over his face as he found himself

completely unable to move.

“Yes, Jasper. Ironic isn’t it that my uncle and I are so eerily similar, yet so terrifyingly different…” She

purred as her eyes flickered between a furious crimson fire and a violent electrifying blue sheen as she

forced Jasper to face her face-to-face.

She kept her palms firmly on his temples, her f*ingers digging into his scalp with her nails as she

brought her face almost nose to nose with him as she held his gaze unflinchingly and licked her l*ips

dangerously.

“He… Eromaug… I work for him! You can’t do this!” Jasper blurted out, his voice rising in panic as he

winced at the slow trickle of blood that was running from his hairline as Lexi’s nails dug in painfully.

“Oh believe me I f*****g can, you sick son of a b***h. You violated my best friend and an innocent child,

not to mention defacing MY mate and his beautiful face… you deserve everything that’s coming to

you.” She purred as her eyes rolled upwards and only the whites of her eyes were visible.

Jasper’s bone chilling scream echoed loudly in the room and reached a pitch that Allen hadn’t though

possible… from a man at least.

Allen winced as the sound seemed to pierce his eardrums painfully but soon became transfixed by the

spectacle in front of him.

Some sort of pale white vapour seemed to be pulled from within Jasper, leaking out from his eyes and

his m*outh and drifting towards Lexi’s subtly glowing figure as her grin widened into an almost delirious

expression.

It swirled around her, the eerie threads mixing in a terrifying yet beautiful dance before settling on her

skin and by the looks of it, absorbing into her very body as the life seemed to drain from Jasper. As

terrifying as it was to witness, Allen couldn’t seem to tear his eyes away.

“Close your eyes, my love,” Lexi purred as she turned to Allen with her unseeing eyes, “I don’t want

you to see this side of me…”

“I love all of you Lexi… always, no matter what.” Allen breathed in awe, utterly enthralled with the sight

of his terrifyingly beautiful mate.

A slow smile crossed her face as a brilliant light seemed to erupt within Jasper, so bright that it felt as

though it would burn his eyes from their sockets and Allen was forced to close his eyes, screwing them

shut reflexively despite his unwillingness to do so.

When the blinding light had faded, the pressure that had held Allen in place dissipated almost instantly

and he fell to the floor, landing unsteadily on his feet. Grimacing, he braced himself for the pain as he

forced his shoulder back into the socket and growled loudly as Orvar instantly began working on

healing the damage.

He hissed with the sharp pain as he rolled his shoulder and cast his eyes around the room, his eyes

finally landing on where Lexi stood, staring blankly down at the smouldering remains of Jasper, as if

she was frozen in shock at what she had just done. She wavered in place as her eyes seemed to roll

back in her head and Allen rushed forwards, catching her carefully in his arms as her l*egs gave way

beneath her.

“Allen… I don’t…” she murmured as confusion settled over her face.

“It’s okay my love, I’m here… I’ll always be here.” He reassured her as an unsettling feeling settled in

the pit of his stomach.

Whatever Lexi had done had clearly saved his life, and finally put an end to Jasper but at what cost?

He held her close to his body as Orvar whined in concern for his mate who was wavering in and out of

consciousness and he made his way into the corridor.

The guards rushed towards him and with one look inside the cell, they turned to Allen with a look of

disbelief.

“What the hell happened in there?!”

“No one goes in there,” Allen barked, “Fetch Lord Brarthroroz and tell him his daughter is unwell and

you, fetch Alpha Felix and the Alpha Queen’s Consort. Tell them we had a run in with Jasper and Linus

didn’t make it.”

The two guards nodded and both set off at a run to their assigned tasks. Allen sighed as he looked

down at Lexi, who appeared now to be sleeping peacefully in his arms.

He knew that Lexi saved his life and if it hadn’t have been for her, then Jasper most likely would have

gone on to cause more chaos and rack his body count up, but still, what she did to him…

It was the first time that Allen had seen that side of her. The explosive rage that he had needed her

father to help with in the aftermath of Ann’s poisoning was one thing, but this… whatever this was, was

uniquely terrifying.

It looked as though she had s*uc*ked the life out of Jasper, not that he didn’t deserve it, but it was still a

terrifying thought. Was that the other side of her that he was supposed to help control as her mate?

Now with both Linus and Jasper dead they had no way to gather any further information about the

possible whereabouts of both Aoife and of Eromaug and his f*****g coven.

The whole situation was a mess and the paperwork that he would be left with now didn’t bear thinking

about.

One thing was for sure, if the news got out that Lexi was capale of s*uc*king the life out of anyone who

crossed her, it was certainly going to make life even more difficult for her within the Enclave.

How on earth were they going to get the Elders to accept her now? His mind raced as he settled

himself on a bench in the hallway and readjusted Lexi in his arms so that her head could rest against

his shoulder in a more comfortable looking position.

Allen knew that sooner or later he was going to need Greyson to help him handle this almost feral side

to her. The look of pleasure on her face as she drank in Jasper’s soul was going to haunt him for a long

time.
