The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 126
Mayra.
I wake up with a start and immediately survey the room. I breathe a sigh of relief when I realize that I was in my room.
'It must have been a terrible nightmare'. I think to myself as the memories of what happened earlier flood in.
“Mayra?” His voice makes me snap my head in his direction so fast it causes me to be dizzy.
Looking at him. Still dressed in a suit brings about dread in me. The fact that he is here means that everything that happened did happen. That none of it was just a bad dream.
I begin shaking. My heart beating wildly. I wanted to escape. I wanted to leave. To be far away from this place and from the woman and girl who were probably downstairs.
“Calm down, love, you’re safe…everything is going to be okay” Darren’s voice sounds soothing but it does nothing to calm the storm that was raging inside me.
He stands up and comes to me. Then he hugs me close. I take in his scent. It calms me but not that much.
“Come…they’re waiting for us downstairs” he lets go of me and gives me his hand but I refuse to take it.
I shake my head. I didn’t want to go downstairs. Didn’t want to see the little girl. It might sound heartless but I just couldn’t face her. Because she represented something I’d rather forget.
“Grace, the woman you met said she won’t leave until she speaks to you” he informs me softly.
“I don’t want to talk to her. I can’t talk to her”
“You’ll have to honey,”
Hooking his hands under my arms, he lifts me off the bed and places me on my feet.
Cupping my cheeks, he kisses me before letting me go. “I’ll be with you, you don’t have to be afraid of anything”
For the first time since our relationship started, his kiss doesn’t take my breath away. Mainly because I was panicking and breaking on the inside.
After nodding my head, he takes my hand firmly in his and leads me out of the door and down the stairs.
The moment we get to the living room and I see them, I begin trembling. My heart begins racing again and the need to turn around and flee consumes me.
Darren must have sensed this because his hold tightens, thus preventing me from making my escape.
He leads me to the seat opposite Grace and the girl. Ren and Bash are present but Micah is nowhere to be seen.
I sit down and immediately my foot starts tapping the floor. Darren places his hand on my knee and the anxious behavior stops.
I face them. Grace is smiling at me kindly but I have no energy or will to return her smile. The girl on the other hand has a cookie in her hand, probably given to her by Ren. She’s staring at the floor. I can’t tell whether it’s because she’s shy or like me, she’s scared.
“Hi Mayra, it’s good to officially meet you” Grace says, making me pull my eyes from the girl.
I don’t reply. What’s there to say anyway? From where I’m standing, I’m not pleased to meet her. She seems like a sweet lady but I hate what her being here represents.
“Now that Mayra is here, could you please tell us why you’re here?” Darren asks, his deep and strong voice cutting through the tense atmosphere.
Grace smiles. “Definitely. I didn’t want to speak without her here because this is a sensitive topic. I work with the government and I’m the social worker in charge of Iris’ case”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren)
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....
I absolutely love Sebastian and Lauren’s story! I wish it didn’t end ?...
