CHAPTER 32 The Bite Mark
Adam had disappeared shortly after their steamy session with his Beta, Allen, leaving behind two of his men as protection, despite A*n’s protests.
A*n wanted to talk to Adam about Lexi and get an idea of how he felt about any possible solution they might come up with regarding the lack of a mating mark.
Although it wasn’t an issue now, she knew it would be in the future. The elders weren’t st*pid, and neither were the pack members. Having a temporary fix would at least shield them from suspicion for that issue.
She had to admit she was incredibly curious about his particular curse though and as they arrived back at the pack house, she resolved to ask him about it once things had settled down a little.
She would have to get through the s*upid engagement ceremony relatively unscathed though. An* couldn’t understand why her father would want to rub her mate’s betrayal in her face like this. It was such a cruel thing to do in her mind.
If she hadn’t ended up entangled with Adam, she wasn’t sure what sort of emotional state she would be in right now.
‘I don’t know why we have to go listen to them gloat anyway’ Maeve grumbled testily.
‘It won’t look good if we don’t go. Try to remember that I’m still a member of the royal family by birth whether they like it or not. It’s expected that we attend all of the official functions. ‘A*n sighed, as she made her way through the common areas of the house and took a seat at the kitchen table, flicking her phone out.
‘Well, I expected my former mate not to shove his d*ck where it didn’t belong buuuuut…
‘Yes. I know, Maeve, we’ve been over this so many times. It’s over and done with now, have to move on. Geez, you’re like a dog with a bone…”

‘We were getting rammed not so long ago..’ Maeve commented in a p*rverted tone in her head.
‘Shut up, Maeve… ‘A*n hissed in reply.
‘You’re no fun.”?she wailed miserably.
“Hey! Tell Maeve I said hi, but, also to pipe down, will you? I hate repeating myself and I need to let dad know what your answer is as soon as possible.”
‘Tell her to go blow goats. ?Maeve answered sweetly.
“I won’t tell you what she replied Lexi. Honestly, she was so much quieter before we moved here and now all of a sudden it’s like she’s transformed into a p*rverted she-wolf in heat.” A*n groaned in frustration.
“Excellent. It’s about time you got laid!” Lexi snorted.
‘See! I’m not the only one who thought so!’Maeve sniggered triumphantly.
“Oh my g*d, will the two of you shut up!” A*n exploded angrily.
The sounds of Maeve and Lexi sniggering in tandem had A*n fuming in silence.
“I thought you were busy” A*n snapped testily at Lexi.
“I am, but I’ve missed teasing you.” she sighed happily, “Anyway, dad says he might have a solution, but I don’t think either one of you is going to like it.”
A*n listened intently as Lexi explained the options that she and Adam had available to them.
“So, dad thinks a normal binding won’t do the trick by itself. We talked about the possibility of a tattoo to hold the magic weave and perhaps an item, but you both need an actual physical manifestation of the bite mark, right?” Lexi explained.
