I have never dressed as fast as I did today. Once I was done. I came out of my bedroom to find Sebastian seated on my couch. He had one leg over his lap, one arm over the back of a chair and the other had his phone. He was scrolling through something on his phone but I couldn’t tell what.
I cleared my throat. “I’m done. I hope this is okay” I say motioning to my dress.
I had decided on a simple but elegant red dress with black heels. I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. So there was no need to go beyond.
His eyes slowly scan my frame. I swear, it feels like liquid fire everywhere his eyes touch. I shift on my feet suddenly feeling too hot. When was the last time I had been with a man?
‘A few weeks before Miranda came back’ Blue tells me unhelpfully.
There was no denying that Sebastian was hot. And he was all male. A pure full blooded alpha male.
Given I haven’t had sex in a long time. It was understandable that I would react this way towards him. Wasn’t it?
“It will do…let’s go” he said flatly.
I silently huff at him. I had expected to get at least one compliment. I didn’t put too much effort but I still looked fucking amazing.
I reluctantly follow him out the door. I turn on the alarm system before going to him. He stands stiffly next to his car, almost as if he was also unexcited about this damn dinner.
“Get in” he commands, while opening the door for me.
I want to rebel but I was already dolled up. There was no way I was going to let my effort go in vain. So I get in, holding my tongue.
“At least he opened the door for you like a gentleman as compared to that rat bastard” Blue chimes in referring to Darren.
I don’t answer, just stare forward as Sebastian starts the car. Blue was right though.
Thinking back, not once had Darren ever opened the door for me. Even when we first started seeing each other. I don’t know how I never noticed that. Or maybe I did. I just chose to ignore it, thinking he was the one.
Just like that day, we don’t talk. Not even about our day. I had no idea where he was taking me and he seemed not in the mood to share that information.
I turn to look outside. Thinking about what Claire told me. Could it be true? That Krystal needed me. I want so much to believe it’s true, but I’m afraid. Afraid that my effort will be shunned away. I don’t think my heart can take any more heartbreak.
“We’re here” Sebastian said, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I looked up to find we were at the Rosevelt. One of the prestigious restaurants in the city. He parks the car, turns off the ignitions and gets out. Seconds later he’s opening the door for me. I get out and immediately feel the chill in the air.
I stand beside the car while he locks it. He then leads me to the entrance. His hands curling on my lower back.
“What are you doing?” I ask almost breathlessly. Stopping in my tracks.
The way he held me, was doing things to my body. Whether I liked it or not was yet to be decided.
I blame my reaction on my hormones.
“Just act naturally and continue walking. I think there is a paparazzi following us” he whispers softly.
I stiffen for a second before forcing myself to relax. We resume our walk and soon enough we are inside the restaurant.
The minute we step inside, the manager rushes to us followed by a waiter. By his scent I can tell he’s a werewolf. There’s no logical way of explaining it. We just have a way of telling our own species.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren)
Did a teenager write this? I wanted to like it but it’s overly dramatic and the character arc is non-existent....
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 :)...
