I watch as Sebastian stands up and leaves our table. His eyes on Mayra and the man. They had not noticed us yet. Sebastian goes to them and taps Mayra’s shoulders. She turns around.
At first she was frowning but she saw who it was and that frown turned into a big smile. She lets go of the man’s hand and hugs Sebastian.
Seeing all that I needed to see I pull my gaze away from them. It’s like the moment he noticed her he forgot about me. He may say that I am the one he wants but he will always be pulled towards her. Just like Darren was pulled towards Miranda.
The good thing is that we hadn’t ordered. It would have been a shame to waste the food. I take a deep breath and compose myself. Then I pick up my purse and stand up. I wasn’t about to waste another second here. If Sebastian wanted he could join her for dinner for all I cared.
Turning from the table, I bump into someone. I was about to fall but he catches me. I catch a whiff of his scent and I know it’s Sebastian.
“Careful” he says, steading me.
“Thanks” I give him a polite smile as a hand offers me my purse, which I’m guessing had fallen down.
I follow the outstretched arm to find Mayra and the man standing behind Sebastian.
“Thank you” I tell him and take my purse from him.
Was anyone else feeling awkward or was it just me?
I just wanted to leave. Get home and eat a bucket of ice cream while having a pity party. It would have been wine, but we know I can’t. Then cry my eyes out to a sad movie. Sleep and then wake up the next day stronger.
Sebastian’s eyes search mine but I avert them. I didn’t want him bearing witness to my pain.
“I know this has been a long time coming, Mayra so I want you to officially meet my mate, Lauren” he says, circling my waist and bringing me close to him.
I expected to see some type of negative emotion in her eyes but there is none. Her eyes lighten up, looking at me. And she looks at me like I have hung the moon.
Before any of us can do anything, she throws herself at me, almost making both of us fall.
I’m in shock.
“Oh goddess, I finally met you…Thank you so much. You have no idea the extent of what you did for me. I’ll forever be grateful” she sobs
This entire thing brings tears to my eyes. Cursed pregnancy hormones.
I hug her back. Remembering what she went through. And accepting that none of the things that happened after is her fault or that of Sebastian. No one was to blame and no one saw it coming.
We release each other after a while.
“Hey Mayra” I tell her softly with a smile.
I couldn't hate her nor could I hate Sebastian. Unlike with the case of Darren and Miranda, Mayra was actually a good person.
I wouldn’t blame Sebastian if he fell for her, but I’d rather he not lead me on if he thinks that there is any chance of them getting together in future.
“Hey Lauren…Despite wanting to just stay here with you and talk, that wouldn’t be ideal because you’re on a date, so can we meet up?” she says the last part slowly. As if she was afraid that I would turn her down.
I smile at her. “I would love that…do you have a phone, we can exchange numbers and you can tell me when and where you want us to talk”
Her entire face glows when I accept her invite and it’s amazing looking at her. The goddess really did choose the perfect woman for Sebastian. She was a darling and what she went through hasn't taken that from her.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren)
I don't think the the plot for krystals book is something I would like to dark. I would had thought Krystal and something with Jax would have been a better plot....
Finally I'm fucking done author please research heavy topics extensively before writing about them again. When you don’t you often end up victim blaming alot...
I don't even feel sad about Raya fuck her there’s allot of things that trauma is responsible for and letting the people you love die while you enjoy watching isn’t fucking one of them like the authors writing when it comes to these topics are fucking piss fucking put like the victim blaming the dismissal of valid feelings the excuses for the people who hurt her like eww don’t ever touch on subjects like these until you’ve done the appropriate extensive research on these topics. Then ill read your works that touch on these subjects again. The only reason I’m still here is cause ive already started the story....
I knew the goddamn therapist was a fucking weirdo...
Again the therapist is incorrectly saying what’s going on. If Raya took the empirical trauma it’d be Raya that she’d be talking to. Mayra took the emotional AND physical trauma of what’s going on and both Raya and Mayra are experiencing shared mental effects of that trauma with Raya experiencing the effects on the more angered and blaming side. None of this makes Mayra a terrible companion it actually makes Raya a terrible companion if you want to place blame....
Bruh can’t she just get the moon goddess to like give her a new wolf or remove her from the one she got ? She gone be human either fucking way with the way that bitch of a wolf be acting...
The therapist is fixing weird like she was doing so good till she fucking invalidated Mayra’s feelings towards her baby that was forced upon her by her realist that popped up before she was even done healing like what ? Its normal for victims to feel that way towards a rapper baby and what the therapist should have fucking said was yeah Mayra it’s normal to feel that way you’re still haunted by your rapport and haven’t yet healed and it doesn’t help that your daughter looks like him once healed you could make a decision on whether you want to be in her life as her mother or give her up for adoption it’s all up to you but for now you need to focus on healing before attempting to mother a child who looks like your rapist. In the meantime have your child stay with a trusted person so that you can heal and make the correct decision for yourself as a healed woman. But no the therapist says try loving her and being a mother to your rapists child right now even if you haven’t healed yet. Like huh ? You’re fucking weird and the author is weird for this as well. Maybe before writing about a touchy subject please do more research In terms of how to go about the aftermath of trauma and healing because this invalidated a lot of rape victims who hated their children before healing and coming to love and care for them without blame....
We’ll do e. I enjoyed every moment....
Danke :)...
The Mayra and Darren story, the ending…it’s like the book isn’t finished. And the typo on the vows need to be fixed, like it’s a copy and paste. They’re were errors, but it wasn’t a bad series. I truly loved Ren and Bash. Now, what about Krystal, the new Oracle....
