Chapter 214 You’ve Fallen For Me?

“We’ll discuss the issue of Felix’s brother later on, but for now, I would request that

you all treat him with respect whilst we work on the solution for the rogues.” Ann said

as she allowed her gaze to drift slowly over Allen before settling on Lexi and frowning

at the look of rebellion in her eyes.

“That means you as well Lexi.” Ann continued with a meaningful look. Lexi snorted

and rolled her eyes.

“I’ll be civil, but he’ll get no respect from me.”

“Lexi you have to understand that in our position we sometimes have to hold onto our

feelings and withhold our emotions in public.” Ann said softly as she approached her

friend, “You can rant and scream and cry in private, take your anger out on a

punchbag at a gym, run until you’ve worn yourself out, pretty much whatever it takes,

but publicly, we have to remain calm in order to avoid reprisals.”

“You might have to, but thankfully, I don’t I’m not a member of your royal family,

Queenie, so none of your ridiculous rules and pompous ceremony will ever apply to

me.” Lexi sneered, stepping away from Ann slightly and folding her arms defensively

in front of her.

“Lexi, don’t be like this.” Ann said gently, her expression pained, “Unfortunately,

whether you like it or not, you are a part of the royal family”

Lexi laughed, tipping her head back as she did so before meeting Ann’s steady gaze

with incredulity. “I’m about as far away from your family and the Enclave’s twisted

schemes as anyone here. Even the omega’s here are closer to the s**t that’s gone

down than I am!” She snorted derisively

“Lexi, listen to me. You are my best friend and now, you are also mated to my mate’s

Beta. Ordinarily, in pack circumstances, there would be a beta female and if we were

still in only a pack, then that position would be yours. Adam is still the Alpha of the

pack, and I am still the Luna, Allen is the Beta and you would be the Beta female.”

Ann explained gently, “But our position now is more than just a pack role. We have

our advisors here in the Enclave of course, but your role becomes even bigger

Very slowly, as the realization dawned on her, Lexi’s face seemed to transform into a

mask of horror.

“You can f**k right off with that.” She whispered, “I don’t want all this responsibility. I

agreed to help with educating about Daemons, but not being dragged into the

b*ulls*hittery of life at the royal court.”

Lexi’s eyes were wide with fear as she glanced between Allen and Ann. “Why didn’t

any of you warn me? Do you think this is normal? Sleeping with someone, falling for

them, and then all of a sudden you’re responsible for hundreds..wait…f*****g

thousands of people?!” Lexi murmured in a strained voice as she sank down into a

chair.

Her face was incredibly pale and the enormity of what she was getting sucked into

had suddenly dawned on her. “I knew you lot were all f****g insane on some level but I

never thought that the rules would apply to me as well… I’m a hybrid. Part Daemon

and part witch for f**k sake! What the f**k do I know about the ins and outs of

werewolf society!” She exclaimed, a distinct edge of panic to her voice that became

more apparent the louder her voice got.

“You… you’ve fallen for me?” Allen stammered in shock as a stupid grin slowly broke

through the dark scowl and spread across his face.

Orvar was jumping around excitedly inside of him as he stepped towards her, but the

look on Lexi’s face, as she whirled to face him, stopped him in his tracks and he

swallowed nervously.

“That’s what you focused on out of all of that?!” Lexi hissed furiously.

Ann sighed and squatted down next to her friend, breaking her line of sight to Allen

who was currently the focus of her ire and refocusing her attention.

“This is how it’s always been in my world…our world, sweets. I’ve never held anything

back when I spoke with you over the years.”

“But…”

“There’s no ‘but’s’ Lexi,” Ann said gently as she smiled softly, her eyes drifting to Lexi’s

neck to see if Allen had fully claimed her yet or not.

She groaned internally when she realized that Allen had not marked her and Maeve

snorted in agreement. ‘If he waits much longer, she’s going to get cold feet and run a

mile.’ Maeve sighed as she rolled her eyes in exasperation.

‘Why is that boy so f****g dense? I’m telling you, all of your lives would be so much

f*****g easier if you just listened to your damn wolves.’ she muttered.

Whilst privately she agreed with Maeve, she really hoped that Lexi wouldn’t run away

from this She knew that in her heart, Lexi was the most steadfast and loyal person

and that it was always serious commitment that spooked her ..when it came to men at

least.

Perhaps it was the same when it came to the trajectory of life. All Ann could do was

make sure that she was as well informed as possible, and trust that once she knew

what she was getting herself into, she would make the right decision. Ann took a deep

breath and with a heavy heart tried her best to formulate the information in a way that

wouldn’t send her running for the hills. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Look, I know this isn’t easy for you, sweets. It’s a lot to take in, I know .”

“f*****g understatement of the century…” Lexi muttered as Ann continued undaunted,

“But, as soon as you accept Alien’s mark, Lexi, then you will officially become the Dark

Moon’s Beta female, and not just my best friend, but my right-hand woman when it

comes to matters at court. You’ll sit beside me at councils if needed, run things back

at Dark Moon and if needed, at some point in the future, perhaps even act as envoy.”

Ann explained gently as the worried expression on Lexi’s face only seemed to

increase.

“There might be times when I have to leave as envoy and you will either join me at my

side, or you will remain here and keep those crusty old men in line.” Ann continued,

her heart leaping a little when the corners of Lexi’s mouth twitched upwards slightly

despite her concern.

“I mean… keeping them in line at least sounds like fun.” Lexi offered quietly before

sighing and throwing her head back as she stared at the ceiling.

Ann waited patiently for her to continue and sure enough, with a sigh, Lexi’s shoulders

dropped and she met Ann’s gaze once more with an uncertain expression.

“It’s just… f****g overwhelming, Ann.” she tried to explain, her anger and snarkiness

seemed to have melted away for a moment, and for the first time in a long time, Ann

saw the vulnerability and uncertainty of the little girl that she once knew well.

“At least try to see it from my point of view. I’m going from swanning about doing what

I want, when I want, to being tied to at least one guy for the rest of my life, and on top

of that, I’m going have to sit and listen to boring old t***s waffle on about s**t that

bores me and I’m not even allowed to tell them what I think or dish out what they

deserve I feel…” Lexi paused as she thought of a way to explain, “I feel like I’m going

to be caged and suppressed… and I don’t want that I am me. I can’t be something

that I’m not.”
