The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 51

What the hell was he so happy about? I ball my hands. The need to hit him in his perfectly square jaw is almost consuming.

I was just about to leave when he detaches from his pack members. He approaches me while taking off his t-shirt. Leaving his delicious abs out in the open for any female to admire.

Before I can say anything he brings the clothe down on my head. I automatically put my arms through. It’s big on me coming down to my mid-thigh.

By the time I am done I realize what he has done. I don’t get time to scold him for it. He turns to the woman on the floor. And can you imagine what the bitch did? She made it seem like it was my fault. Like I was a crazy woman who just attacked her for no reason.

The moment she senses Sebastian’s presence. She scrambles to him. Wraps her arms around his ankles, she begins sobbing.

“Oh thank the goddess you’re here Sebastian. She is crazy. I didn’t do anything to her and she just attacked me”

I had to hand it to her. She was a damn good actress. I almost believed her and I was there when everything happened. That’s how fucking good she was.

“Run it through me Nicole” Sebastian tells her.

She nods her head. “I was just talking to Michelle when she came from outside. I asked her if she was okay and she went ballistic. Saying that she didn’t need care from her mate’s hoes. I tried to tell her that I wasn’t and that nothing was going on between us now but she refused to listen. She went crazy and forced me to transform before attacking me”

She cries these gut wrenching sobs that I almost feel sorry for her. If it wasn’t the fact that I knew she was lying I would have truly felt bad for her.

I turn to look at Sebastian. I knew he would believe her. After all, it wasn’t the first time he believed something that wasn’t true about me.

“Are you sure that’s what happened?” he asked her.

Everyone present was holding their breaths. We all noticed the edge in his voice. Whether he was angry on her behalf or not was yet to be decided.

“Yes, Alpha…that is the truth of what happened” she says, her sobs slowly dying.

Before I know it, Sebastian has her up by her neck.

“Do you think I am an idiot Nicole?” he asks her menacingly.

The fear in her eyes is tangible and it makes me smile. A big cruel smile.

“N-No” she stammers.

“So why would you deliberately lie to me?”

“I swear I didn’t”

“You see I know my woman, and she wouldn’t attack you unless she had a reason, but since you chose this fucking act lets continue by it, shall we?”

For some reason I am shocked and rooted to the floor. Not because he believed me but because he called me his. It shouldn’t affect me but it kind of did and I hated that.

“Tell me the truth Michelle, is what she said the truth? And don’t think I don’t know that you and that bitch Miranda tried attacking her, so bear in mind that if you fucking lie to me then Lauren’s threat of banishing you will be made effective” he warns.

Another shock. I honestly didn’t know that he knew about the restaurant incident. But then again, this is Sebastian we are talking about. He practically knows everything. Well except who the real murderer was. Note the sarcasm.

“No she’s not telling the truth” Michelle says in a straight face.

I guess their bond wasn’t as strong because she outed her friend without even a second thought.

The fear that was on Nicole’s face doubles. She tries saying something but the chokehold prevented that.

“You’re lucky I don’t hit women” Sebastian says and I internally snort. He doesn’t hit them but he sure does allow others to do the dirty work for him.

“For disrespecting my Luna, Nicole Hazina, you’re hereby stripped of your current position and I demote you to an omega” he declares, making everyone gasp.

The moment he says that he releases her. She crumbles to the floor. Being demoted is painful and there is no worse shame than that. I don’t know which position she held but being demoted to the bottom of the food chain must be horrible.

He leaves the screaming woman and comes to stand beside me. He meshes his hands with mine before turning to the others and addressing them.
