Alpha Nocturne’s Contracted Mate by A E Randell
Chapter 260 Mistake
Felix could feel Jasper scrutinizing his face for a reaction as he made his way over to the mini-bar and poured himself a shot of whiskey.
He needed something to steady his nerves and settle his wolf who was howling in rage at the certainty that Jasper had killed their mate.
Felix turned to face Jasper and downed the glass in one gulp, savoring the spread of the fiery liquid as its warmth spread down his throat and radiated outwards, allowing a feeling of calm to settle over him as he fixed his brother with a steely gaze. “Ann isn’t dead, Jasper.” He said calmly as Jasper’s face creased in confusion.
The reaction from him was instantaneous.

“No, that’s not possible.” He laughed as he shook his head, “I know for a fact that she is no longer living, if you have heard differently then they are merely covering it up to buy time for a new Alpha King to succeed the throne and prevent unrest.”
Felix felt as though he had been punched in the gut. His wolf had been right. He had known that Jasper was a cold hearted, sadistic killer, but to kill your own brother’s mate…that was beyond comprehension.
“I’ll ask you again Jasper… where were you last night?” Felix growled as his wolf fought furiously to take control.
Jasper shifted uncomfortably on the spot, his confidence wavering for a fraction of a second before his arrogant mask was reinstated. “Such touching concern for the enemy little brother. Whose side are you really on?” He snapped in an accusing tone.
“They were never our family’s enemy Jasper,” Felix snorted derisively as he began to approach him slowly, “Only yours. You brought their hatred on yourself with your own actions, and our family has been fighting to overcome the damage that you have wrought for years.”
“Why am I not surprised that our family continues to take the cowards way out instead of taking what should be ours. Ann is dead, and by the time I’m finished, Adam and Allen will join her.” He hissed furiously as he began to back away from Felix’s predatory movements.
The fact that Felix had not sided with him immediately had pissed him off already, but the suggestion that Ann was still alive after he had ensured that she would stay dead infuriated him even further. It was as if his own abilities in the art of murder were being challenged directly and he didn’t like that one bit.
“It’s over Jasper.” Felix hissed as he closed in on him, intending to secure and detain him as quickly as possible so that he could ensure he repaid him a thousand fold for the devastation that he had wrought on his precious Aoife.
“f**k you Felix,” He sneered as he lunged for him, a flash of steel catching Felix’s eye as he twisted sideways and managed to avoid the thin dagger that Jasper had produced from somewhere within his clothing and now wielded in his hand effortlessly, almost as if it were an extension of his own body.
“I’ll f*****g kill you for what you did to her!” Felix roared as he lunged for the arm that posed the most danger, slamming his hand repeatedly against the cabinet as Jasper fought to break free.
“Why are you taking their side in this! We are blood Felix! I can help you become more than you ever dreamed of!” Jasper spat angrily.
He simply couldn’t fathom why his brother had no interest in dominating those weaker than him. In his mind, it was their birthright. “By taking the lives of innocent people? By murdering and violating anyone that so much as looks at you the wrong way?! You’re f*****g psychotic! Aoife deserved better than the fate you handed her!”
The shock that hit Jasper was enough of a distraction to enable Felix to finally disarm his brother and as the knife clattered to the floor, Felix turned and slammed his fist into the side of Jasper’s head, the impact sending him staggering backwards a few steps.
“What the f**k are you talking about?” Jasper hissed as he hastily backed away, grabbing everything he could lay his hands on and launching it in Felix’s direction in an effort to slow him down.
“You didn’t murder Ann, you sick bastard, you murdered my wife, my mate! It was Aoife in that bed, not Ann!” Felix roared as he barrelled towards his brother.
The mask of confusion and incomprehension on Jasper’s face gave way to one of delirious delight as reached for the door of the bathroom and swung it out into Felix’s path, stopping him in his tracks as it collided painfully with his head and he roared in fury.
“Seriously? I managed to get rid of that freak?” Jasper asked excitedly before breaking out into laughter,
“Oh Felix… that is the most incredible news! You don’t understand just how much better this has made my day. This is a thousand times better than killing that b***h of an Alpha Queen.”
Felix roared furiously and lunged for his brother’s infuriating face but suddenly found himself flung across the room by an unseen force as Jasper chuckled darkly.
“Oh baby brother… you should have seen how she squirmed when I forced my fingers inside of her t*ight little p*uss*y… I can certainly see why you insisted on b*urying yourself i*nside of her.” He smirked as Felix raged helplessly from where he was pinned halfway up the wall.
“I won’t kill you just yet Felix, after all, where’s the fun in that? I want to watch your descent into madness without your mate by your side, I want to revel in leading you on a hunt that you will never see the end to… I want to take everything from you…and watch as you realize that with each life I take, I become more powerful than you could ever imagine!” Jasper laughed manically.
“Take this as your only get out of jail free card, baby brother. Next time we meet, It will be because I allowed it and on that day, I will take great delight in peeling the flesh from your very bones and savor every last exquisite scream of delirious agony.”
Felix grimaced as the pressure on his chest increased, briefly terrified that his torso was going to be crushed by this unknown magick that his brother seemed to have acquired. But, as quick as it had appeared, the pressure vanished.
When Felix raised his head from the position that he had landed on the floor in, he roared in fury as he realized that Jasper had disappeared too.
