The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 17
“Would you hold still” Claire grumbles as she tries to tie the laces of my wedding gown.
“I can’t” I yell in frustration.
Today was the day and I was a nervous wreck. I couldn’t stop myself from fidgeting. Afraid that something would go wrong.
The week had passed in a blur. After the events at the mall, I decided to design my own gown instead of shopping for one. Not wanting to risk my safety again. Our company dealt with design so what better way than putting my employees to use.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I’m happy with the outcome. I chose a princess style wedding gown. It was an illusion long sleeved high neck dress. Encrusted in rhinestones and tiny hand sewn flowers.
“You look absolutely stunning, Sebastian won’t be able to take his eyes off you” Claire whispers, staring at me through the mirror.
I find her hand and give it a firm squeeze. “Thank you Claire bear”
I really did look amazing. The dress was beautiful and my makeup was flawless. I decided to have my hair up. The stylist styled it in a complicated but beautiful up do that showed off my neck. It honestly seemed like I was staring at a completely different person.
“Wow” the awe in the voice makes me turn.
I find Jax, Krystal and a fully recovered Mace standing on my doorway looking awestruck. I would have laughed if I hadn’t been so jittery.
“You look beautiful. Like a queen” Jax says, completely riveted by how I looked.
Mace and Krystal echo his sentiments. Looking at me in wonder. As if they’ve never seen me before.
“Thank you, you guys” I reply fighting back tears.
“Don’t you dare cry. We have to go and there won’t be enough time to retouch your makeup if you did” Claire tells me before turning to the children. “Off you go, we’ll meet you three in the car”
Jax and Mace scramble out the door but Krystal lags behind. She casts me an uncertain and unsure look. Like she wants to say something but didn’t know how to.
“Do you need something sweetie?” I ask, coming to stand in front of her.
Her nervous eyes turn to me before going to Claire who was tidying up my bedroom.
Without taking my eyes off Krystal I speak. “Claire could you give us a sec?”
“Sure” she replies before leaving. Closing the door behind her.
The moment Claire leaves, Krystal bursts into tears. It shreds my heart to see her cry. No matter how she hurt me, I’ll always love her. She was my joy. My lifeline.
I take her by the hand. Leading her to my bed. “It’s okay baby, let it out”
I didn’t understand why she was crying. So I just held her close to me. Giving her time until she was ready to talk.
“I’m so sorry mommy for being such a bad girl. I said mean things to you and I shouldn’t have when you’re the best mom anyone could have.” She sucks in a breath before continuing. “I know you don’t love me anymore and you left because I was mean but I just wanted to tell you I’m sorry”
Her tears undo me. Breaking and healing my heart at the same time. I had no idea she carried such a big burden with her. It tore me apart knowing she blamed herself. That she was drowning in guilt.
“Oh sweet girl, I could never hate you. You’re my baby and I will always love you no matter what. Don’t ever think otherwise. I left because Blue and I were sick but we’re better now. Don’t ever think that I left because I didn’t love”
She nods her head. “Will you forgive me then? I promise to be a good girl from now on”

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 :)...
