The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 59

Lauren

Nothing about today hinted that it would be a disaster. I woke up happy. Excited to take Jax and Krystal out. Where we could all just hang out, chill and eat ice cream.

Jax has been sad these past couple of weeks. Sebastian not being around has had him on edge and he missed his father.

The whole thing has been driving me nuts because nothing I did seemed to cheer him up. Sebastian still had a day or two to go. So I hoped taking Jax out would help in cheering him up.

“So what are we going to do with Sebastian?” Midnight asks out of the blue.

Blue immediately chimes in. “I was wondering about that too?”

Why are they wondering about him? To be honest I was getting tired of hearing his name. Can’t I have peace? A peaceful place where Sebastian doesn’t exist?

“Chill woman! We are just asking so that we are on the same page concerning him okay? Not that we are taking his side” Blue says

“I second that. I mean sure, the man is hot as hell, and don’t get me started on Fang. He’s the most dominant son of a bitch I’ve ever come across and I wouldn’t mind some sexy time with him, but there’s a code. Girls before sex right?” Midnight adds with finality.

Man, I am screwed. Having two wolves who are horny as hell is dangerous. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve had to use my dildo this week. It was beginning to get embarrassing how horny I was.

“First of all, we are not girls. We are sexy ass grown women” Blue crisply states.

Oh no. This was the beginning of their banter. One that I didn’t have energy for.

“You know what I mean” Midnight explained unbothered.

Blue snarls “No I don’t”

“Yes you do” Midnight fires back.

I decide to interject. They were starting to give me a headache. My focus right now should be on the boy downstairs who is down like a rainy weather.

“Will you two stop it! You both behave like little kids sometimes”

They humph in irritation before they both go to their respective space. Giving me the silent treatment.

I pick my things up and head downstairs. Where Jax and Krystal were waiting for me. I plan to make it a memorable one for both of them. I will make sure that by the end of this day, they will be so tired nothing will register in their minds.

Just as I was about to cross to the living room Phoebe’s voice stopped me.

“Where are you taking my grandson?”

I internally groan. She always ruins my moods whenever we cross paths. Would it be rude if I just ignored her?

I thought that maybe she treated Lilly the same. That notion was quickly shot down when Micah and Lilly came the weekend before. She treated Lilly like she was an angel sent from above while I was a demon.

If I was being honest I expected her to treat me better. Now that she knew my connection to the goddess. That expectation also went horribly wrong. In fact it seemed that she now hated me more. Especially after Sebastian’s sentencing.

“I’m waiting” she interrupts my musings.

Her hands were folded and she was tapping her foot against the hardwood floor. The action was fucking annoying me.

“To the woods so I can devour his tiny body” I sarcastically reply.

The shocked look on her face is satisfying. Bet she didn’t not expect me to talk back to her. Without wasting any time, I leave her standing there and head to the living room.

I find Krystal and Jax all dressed up waiting for me. I would be damned if I allowed Phoebe to darken my day.

“You guys ready to go?” I plaster a smile for their sake.

Krystal replies immediately. The excitement in her voice.

“Yeah” she screams, jumping up and down. Just as Jax replies “Not really” with less enthusiasm.

I hold their hands as we head outside and towards my car. The lack of enthusiasm should have been my first warning that today would end badly.

“So, what do you want to do first?” I ask while driving.

They were both seated at the back. Krystal was chattering happily while Jax just stared outside the window.

“Can we have ice cream first?” Krystal shrills. Her voice full of glee.

“We can have ice cream but we will have lunch first then we can do the fun stuff” I look at Jax through the rearview mirror. “Is that okay with you baby?” I ask him.

He doesn’t say anything at first. But then I see his lips wobble. His voice catches when he speaks.

“I miss dad so much. When is he coming back?” he asks in a small voice.

It breaks my heart seeing him like this. Despite everything that happened between me and Sebastian. I couldn’t deny that he is a good father. Otherwise Jax wouldn’t be feeling this strongly about him not being around. Which says a lot given I’ve never heard him ask for his mom.
