The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 52

“Mommy, can I talk to you?” Krystal asks just as I was getting ready for my supposed date with Sebastian.

I decided to go not because I wanted him. Or wanted to spend time with him. It was just so I could frustrate the hell out of him. He wanted me to fall at his feet. That will be a cold day in hell if it were to ever happen.

“Sure, what is it?”

My relationship with Krystal has been strained since I came back. I don’t have a problem with Jax and I’ve hung out with him a couple of times, but I had to put a stop to that. I saw how it was hurting Krystal and ruining her relationship with her step brother.

“I’m sorry mama” she says in a small voice. Tears filling her eyes.

My heart breaks each time I see her cry. Each tear stabbing at my soul. I am not even angry at her anymore. Mainly I am just hurt and in pain. She has caused me so much heartache. That she would even believe her own mother is a killer broke my heart.

“Come here” I tell her, opening my arms to her.

She comes quickly, crashing into me. Sobbing her heart out. I could hate and be bitter at Sebastian, but I couldn’t remain angry at Krystal. She was my daughter.

“I’m so sorry mama. I didn’t mean to get you into trouble”

I sigh. Rubbing her back in comfort. “I know, baby. What you did wasn’t right and it hurt me a lot Krys. It caused a lot of damage. It broke my heart that you would think of me that way. But it’s okay. Everything will be fine. It may take some time but everything will work out”

I had forgiven her but I also felt the need to tell her that her actions pained me. That what she did wasn’t right.

“Next time something like this happens I want you to think well before taking any actions, okay? Remember that what you say or do can either help someone or hurt them, and you don’t want to hurt someone innocent, do you?” I ask her softly.

Being a parent isn’t easy, especially when you have to discipline and give your child life lessons. It doesn’t come with a damn manual and most of the time you don’t even know what you’re doing. But either way I want her to turn into a decent werewolf and most importantly I want her to be a great Oracle. One who helps people and not the one who messes up shit.

“No, mommy” she nods her head vigorously. “Does that mean you have forgiven me?” she adds.

“Yeah. I guess it does”

She screams in happiness. Jumping up and down in my arms.

“Okay, cool down the excitement. I have to get ready…will you be okay?”

I look at her and she looks so innocent. Full of life now. Not the zombie she has been these last couple of days.

“Yes. I’ll go and tell Jax about it. He told me to tell you sorry because I was so sad and I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid you didn’t love me anymore”

Once again, Jax surprised me with his maturity. It’s hard to believe that he is only ten years old. I make a mental note to take them out for ice cream or something on the weekend.

“I will always love you sweetie, no matter what and don’t you ever forget that” I tell her, giving her one more hug.

“I love you too mommy. Always and forever”

We hug for a minute before letting each other go. After she kisses me on the cheek, she leaves saying she was going to tell Jax the good news.

I get back to getting ready. I don’t do much with myself. Mainly because I didn’t feel like putting myself together. After I am done I walk down stairs with a few minutes to spare and find Sebastian already waiting for me.

He turns his head and that’s when his face hardens.

“What the hell are you wearing?” he booms.

I smirk satisfied with his reaction. See I know Sebastian is the wine and dine type of person. The type of man that takes women to fancy ass restaurants that either need you to book two weeks in advance or have a VIP black card.

So of course he expected me to go all out with my look. A sexy dress, heels and diamond accessories. This is proved true when he himself has worn a black fitting suit.

“I’m wearing clothes” I reply sassily.

I wasn’t in anything sexy. Just a pair of jeans, a long sleeved button down shirt and a pair of flat shoes. I had minimum make up and my red mane was in a ponytail. In other words I was dressed for comfort, not for a date.

“Seriously Red?”
