Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate Chapter 9

Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell

Chapter 09 Urgent Matter

‘Don’t you miss your father? Does he speak with you at all?’ Ann asked hesitantly.

She felt a pang of pain and a soft whine, swiftly followed by a snarl of anger.

‘He is worse than your father. Constantly silent and never responds my to attempts to link with him. It’s
as if he’s dead.” She snapped. ‘If that’s what he wants, then so be it. A sh*tty excuse for a father for
both of us.’

Ann’s mouth set in a grim line as she focused on the road ahead. Just then her phone rang and the call
transferred to the cars in the built infotainment system, linked with the onboard diagnostics HUD
screen.

She touched the screen to accept and answered the call. “Hello?”

“Ann, where are you?” the worried voice of her best friend came through loudly.

Ann flinched and quickly turned the volume down as she answered.

“I’m driving at the minute, is everything okay?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing! Listen, I’m at work at the minute, but I finish in about an hour,
do you want to go eat somewhere for lunch?” She asked quietly. “Sure. It’ll take me about an hour to
get back anyway. You’re only on half days today?”

Lexi usually worked like a demon, which was fitting because she was indeed part daemon. An unlikely
tryst between a mid-level daemon and a human had resulted in her birth.



Her mother died not long after she was born and the daemon was not able to raise her in his realm as it
was simply too dangerous, so she had been taken in by a children’s home that specialized in raising
hybrids well in order for them to live well alongside the wider population of other supernatural races and
the humans that were mostly oblivious to their existence.

A half day was practically unheard of for her and it made Ann start to wonder what exactly had
happened that made her so eager to leave work. She had quite a comfortable job at a small company
that dealt with accounting and she had a natural flair for the work.

“Yeah, only because that a*s*shole of a supervisor I have can’t get the formulas for the spreadsheets
right. I swear if he f*uc*ks up one more…” Lexi sighed heavily, “Sorry, Ann, work is boring. I’ll see you
for lunch and you can fill me in on the details that I am so obviously lacking. Love you! See you soon.”
Lexi finished and hung up abruptly.

Ann chuckled to herself and found a spot to turn around and head back toward the city.

Lunch dates with Lexi were always an opportunity to let off some steam and she could almost predict
exactly the words of comfort that her friend would have for her. ‘More like plans for murder…’ Maeve
sniggered.

Ann grinned to herself. Maeve wasn’t wrong in the slightest.

Ann arrived at the cafe they had decided on well before Lexi did. She found a table by the window so
that she could people-watch and ordered a chai while she waited. Even though the weather hadn’t
quite changed to the autumnal vibe that she loved so much, the rich smell of the milky chai tea had a
homey, almost Christma*s*sy feel to it.

Secretly, Ann was panicking. She had left home, to move in with a man she knew only by reputation
and was going to be married to him for the next 5 years. Right now, she wanted the security that the



feeling of home gave, and the memories that the smell of chai tea evoked within her were the closest
that she would ever come to being wrapped in her mother’s rea*s*suring embrace again.

Ann was acutely aware of the gaze of the cafe’s visitors on her. It was starting to make her feel a little
uncomfortable when she saw Lexi jump out of a taxi through the window and hurry inside.

She stood squinting in the doorway, her beautiful golden eyes scouring every face quickly before
landing on Ann, and her face split into a huge grin. She lifted her arm and waved, shouting across to
her loudly, uncaring of the disapproving glances she was receiving from the other customers.

“Hey! Did you order yet?!” Lexi yelled.

Ann stifled a laugh and grinned back, shaking her head as she lifted her festive-looking glassand
pointed to it. “Chai already?!” She yelled wrinkling her nose in disgust. “Fine, I’ll order a drink for
pansies and we’ll decide on food in a sec, okay?” Lexi finished rolling her eyes as she made her way to
the counter.

Ann sniggered as an older woman attempted to berate Lexi for being obnoxiously loud and watched
with a serene expression as Lexi quickly put her in her place.

She had missed this. Life had been eventful with Lexi at her side through school..they had been
inseparable. It was a bonus that she had been as averse to Ada as Ann was, but she had never been
sure if it was out of loyalty to Ann or not.

The reasoning didn’t really matter, but she was pleased that even though they were spreading their
wings in the world of adulthood, some things never changed.

“Oh my god, what is wrong with some people?” She exclaimed in disbelief as she sat down shaking her
head and throwing her bag onto the chair next to them. “Too human for your liking?” Ann answered



dryly. “She accused me of being obnoxiously loud which she found rude and offensive. When I asked
why she was here being offended and not dying in a retirement home somewhere she seemed
surprised, and offended again, that I would dream of saying such a thing. She just labeled me as
obnoxiously loud, rude, and offensive…. what the f*uc*k did she expect me to say?” She snorted.

Ann resisted the urge to cackle loudly as she shook her head despairingly and sipped on her espresso.

“I don’t know how you can drink those, they’re so bitter,” Ann commented as she gestured to the tiny
cup that Lexi held gracefully in her hands.

“Because it’s as black as my soul.” She whispered conspiratorially with a sweet smile.
